OlliOlli World developer Roll7 is shifting gears for its next title, as it leaves the skateboard behind and slaps on a pair of rollerskates. Rollerdrome also goes all in on 3D arenas, tasking you with staying alive in a world that looks like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater mixed with The Running Man. There still be plenty of half-pipes, ramps, and grind rails to bounce off of, but you'll be able to supplement that acrobatic anarchy with firearms as you fight to stay alive while agents close in for the kill.

It might be the same game under the digital hood, but this remake of The Last of Us adds a new layer of visuals that puts it on par with its award-winning sequel. While you can expect a familiar experience, you can also prepare for a number of quality-of-life tweaks and upgrades that'll make a fresh run through the fungal post-apocalypse feel more modern. A new permadeath mode, more than 60 accessibility features, and various graphical options will likely make this the ultimate edition of one of the best PlayStation exclusives of all time.

Keeping the Nordic theme running, God of War: Ragnarok drops in November with a new tale starring Kratos and his son Atreus. The pair will will visit all Nine Realms as they seek out clues about a prophesied battle that could end the world in this sequel to the critically acclaimed 2018 game, and Kratos will have to battle both inner and real demons if he wants to break free of his past and be the father that Atreus needs. Kratos’ deadly Spartan skills will be tested like never before, but at least he'll be packing some heavy metal offense with new abilities and his trademark tools of the deadly trade, such as the Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and the Guardian shield.

Delayed but never forgotten, Forspoken follows protagonist Frey Holland as she finds herself transported to the fantasy land of Athia. Able to wield vast magical powers and resist the the destructive effects of a magical storm-like phenomenon known as The Break, Frey is the last hope for a land that's in desperate need of a hero. An open-world action game with an emphasis on high-speed traversal and magic, Frey's journey doesn't just look visually impressive; it has some impressive tech thanks to the incorporation of AMD's new FidelityFX Super Resolution tech into its design.

Insomniac is doubling down on web-slingers for its next Spider-Man game and pitting them against some familiar villains. While details on how the game will evolve the spider-formula are still being kept under wraps, what we do know is that the sequel will be darker than the first entry in the series and is being compared to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. As for villains, you can expect to tangle with slimy symbiote Venom, voiced by none other than Candyman actor Tony Todd.

The next chapter in the Final Fantasy mainline series appears to be an action-packed blend of swords and sorcery that follows in the footsteps of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Featuring a more mature storyline with conflicts between multiple worlds and ample political drama, Final Fantasy XVI will follow protagonist Clive Rosfield, the son of an archduke, throughout three different eras of his life. While it's not an open-world game, the unique areas look ripe for exploration, and there will be large-scale boss fights featuring Eikon. There's still much we don't know about Final Fantasy XVI, but it's expected to launch in 2023. For more details, check out detailed roundup of everything we currently know about Final Fantasy XVI.

Final Fantasy VII Remake was a perfect example of how to revitalize a a classic game, and with the opening chapter behind it, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth looks set to chart new ground as the middle chapter for the ambitious trilogy. Details are naturally being kept under lock and key, but creative director Tetsuya Nomura did mention that development of Rebirth has been "progressing rapidly since we adopted a new development structure," and that some development of the third game is already in progress as well.

Nomura also added that Rebirth is being developed in such a way that you don't need to have played the original version of Final Fantasy VII, nor do you even necessarily need to have played Remake (though we'd definitely recommend it). Rebirth is expected to launch between December 2023 and March 2024.

If you thought the regular dating game was tough, try finding a partner when the apocalypse is around the corner. Eternights is a dating action game that blends dungeon-crawling exploration with a chance to romance a cast of five quirky and lovable characters. You'll need to scavenge, survive, and build relationships while facing a ticking clock, but the stronger your bond becomes with your party, the more powerful you'll become as you unlock unique skills and spells that you can use in battle.

It's still early days for Spider-Man developer Insomniac's next Marvel game, but the studio is getting ready to put everyone's favorite mutant back in the video game spotlight. Details are naturally slim at this point in time, but if the trailer is anything to go by, then this mature take on Wolverine should be a bloody adventure where the berserker is more than ready to prove that he's the best there is at what he does. And what he does ain't pretty, bub.

The remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, considered to be one of the greatest RPGs of all time, is in a perilous position right now. We're holding out for that New Hope, even if the project might be delayed indefinitely following a stall in development at studio Aspyr Media. If it does make it past these new hurdles, then expect a complete rebuild of the BioWare classic that's still home to one of the best twists in modern gaming.

Horizon fans looking for a fresh perspective can start getting ready for a first-person take on the popular robot post-apocalypse adventure series, as Guerilla Games is bringing its hit franchise to the upcoming PSVR 2. The shift to first-person adventuring naturally makes a big difference to elements like climbing and combat, and judging by the teaser trailer, a whole lot more intimidating when you have to face off against a mechanized beast eye to robotic eye.
