The Crew (2 December: Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, PS3)
With Forza Horizon 2 offering open-world racing action on Xbox One and DriveClub pushing the 'socially connected' envelope on PS4, The Crew is Ubisoft's attempt to straddle both, offering team-based co-op missions across a sprawling open-world landscape. How sprawling? How does the United States of America sound? Naturally, the entire country isn't recreated here to perfection but there are still 1900 square miles of map to race across, taking in diverse locations from the deserts of Nevada to the mountainsides of Colorado, with plenty of city-based street racing thrown in for good measure.
Game of Thrones (2 December: Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, PS3, iOS, Android)
Point and click specialists Telltale Games blew gamers away with their episodic take on The Walking Dead, and now they've set their sights on the other massive fantasy TV show that's captivated viewers for some time. Game of Thrones will consist of six episodes released at regular intervals, and will focus on the House Forrester, a family that hasn't been seen in the TV show yet but features in the books. Set between the end of season 3 and the start of season 5, Game Of Thrones should provide an interesting new take on a familiar storyline.
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix (5 December: PS3)
Square Enix and Disney fans have had 5 December marked on their calendars for quite some time now. This special HD remake of one of the finest action RPGs makes the PlayStation 2 original look all shiny and new. Players will encounter classic Disney characters such as Mulan, Simba, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and Captain Jack Sparrow. And if all that fan service isn't enough, the package also includes an HD version of PSP game Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and a three-hour cinematic retelling of DS game Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (9 December: Xbox One, PS4, PC)
The Tomb Raider reboot in 2013 may have been the stiff kick up the backside the series needed, but fans of Lara Croft will know that she had already starred in a brilliant digital-only adventure a couple of years earlier. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was an addictive isometric action puzzler and fans will be looking forward to playing the sequel as they wait forRise of the Tomb Raider. Stuck in an Egyptian temple, it's up to Lara and three of her friends to escape and prevent evil god Set from coming back to life and taking over the world. Having played through the first level we can confirm that it's great fun playing it solo, but it really comes into its own in co-op with two to four players.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (11 December: 3DS)
The Ace Attorney games have been entertaining would-be crime solvers for the best part of a decade, and this upcoming 3DS release bundles the original three offerings - believed by some to be the best - into one affordable package. Because the 3DS screen has a higher resolution than that of the Game Boy Advance (the system they were originally released on before the DS re-releases), each game has been remastered with redrawn, hi-res artwork.
Halo 5: Guardians beta (29 December: Xbox One)
The recent release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection was all well and good, but let's face it: it's more or less a warm up for the main event. Halo 5 won't be released for a while, but those who bought The Master Chief Collection will be soon able to try out an early version of its online multiplayer for a couple of weeks. Will the addition of a sprint button and scoping ruin the traditional Halo gameplay or improve on it? Safe to say there are approximately oodles of Xbox One fans eagerly awaiting the chance to find out for themselves.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (2 January: Wii U)
If you played Super Mario 3D World on Wii U you probably fell in love with the little Captain Toad bonus levels in which Mario's fungi-featured friend had to make his way through a number of small, self-contained puzzle levels that focused more on clever camera trickery than jumping on enemies (he can't jump). Captain Toad builds on these with more than 70 brand new stages, each more fiendish than the last. Bursting with charm and character, this is looking likely to be the first must-have Wii U game of 2015. Which isn't much of a surprise since we'll only be two days into the new year when it comes out.
Grand Theft Auto V (27 January: PC)
Nearly 40 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V have already been sold, the ridiculous figure covering both the Xbox 360 and PS3 originals and the recently released Xbox One and PS4 remakes. Despite this, there is still a group of people who haven't bought it yet, and for good reason: they're waiting for the PC version, which could prove to be the definitive edition. As well as including all the new features that have been added to the latest game – the improved visuals, the new animal types, the 100+ new songs on the radio – it also supports 4K resolution, meaning anyone with a beast of a PC (and an equally beastly monitor) will be able to see Rockstar's latest masterpiece at its jaw-dropping best.
Dying Light (30 January: Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Techland may be best known for their Dead Island series of games, but Dying Light is their attempt to break away from Dead Island's slightly comical nature and bring us something far more sinister. Similar in nature – it's still a first-person survivial horror with zombies – Dying Light's main selling points are its parkour-like movement (it's really easy to spectacularly clamber your way across the map) and the fact that the zombies change from shambling, useless numpties during the day to bloodthirsty, speedy supermonsters when night falls. Get ready to be properly terrified.
Apotheon (January: PS4)
The indie scene is packed with 2D platformers, so it takes something special to catch our eye. Safe to say, Apotheon does this and then some. It may be a side-scrolling hack 'em up, but one glance at the trailer will make it clear that this is unlike any other game you've seen before. This is thanks to its brilliant ancient Greek artstyle which makes it look like the drawings on the old pots have come to life. If as much attention has been paid to the gameplay as the visual style, this will be pretty special.
Evolve (10 February: Xbox One, PS4, PC)
California studio Turtle Rock wants Evolve to do for this generation of gaming what its last big game, Left 4 Dead, did for the last. It's a co-op shooter with a twist: while one set of four chums takes control of the hero characters as in Left 4 Dead, a fifth controls the massive monster they face up against. This means no more figuring out the AI and trying to second-guess what your enemies are going to do – they're now as clever and unpredictable as you are. With twelve different types of human character and a varied range of monster types to play as, this is one that may have enormous replay value.
The Order: 1886 (20 February: PS4)
In the latest console war it has been argued that while the PS4 may be the slightly more powerful console, Xbox One has had the best exclusives. This may all change in February when Sony finally releases The Order: 1886. Set in London in the 19th century, it tasks players with battling werewolf-like monsters. What makes it unique, other than its intriguing setting, is its interesting choice of visual presentation: it's played in super widescreen with the black bars along the top and bottom of the screen making it appear more cinematic. As long as this doesn't have a negative effect on gameplay, it could be one of the most atmospheric games ever.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (24 February: Xbox One, PS4, PC)
The long-awaited threequel to CD Projekt Red's much loved action RPG series is finally nearing a completed state. Taking place after the events of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings,Wild Hunt once again puts players in the role of monster-hunter Geralt of Rivia as he seeks to stop the invasion of a mysterious army called the Wild Hunt from slaughtering everyone in the Northern Kingdom and taking over. The game will feature a brand new game engine called REDengine 3, which is designed to produce a jaw-droppingly beautiful open world without any loading times.
Roundabout (Early 2015: Xbox One, PS4, PC)
We do like ourselves a daft comedy indie game and Roundabout fits that bill perfectly. The premise is fairly simple - you're a limousine driver who has to take passengers to various locations. The twist is that your car is the world's first constantly-revolving limousine, meaning you'll need to think ahead if you're to to navigate the busy roads without constantly bumping into things. Watch the video to see what we mean - so far it looks like a puzzle version of Crazy Taxi and that sounds massively excitining.
