Does this even need an introduction? Out of all the gaming releases for 2020, this might be the most anticipated one on the list. After several setbacks and some controversy, the remake Final Fantasy fans have been waiting for is on the horizon.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch)
Release Date: March 20
The internet lost its collective mind when Nintendo officially announced another Animal Crossing game, and it is almost here. Although, be prepared, because March is shaping up to be a good month.

Keanu Reeves. Bright, beautiful graphics. A rocking soundtrack. I mean, come on… It basically sells itself, right?
Marvel’s Avengers (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, PC)
Release Date: May 15
With Nolan North and Troy Baker on the cast, how can this not be great? Then again, almost everything Marvel touches these days turns to pure gold. With how great Spider-Man was, chances are good that this will be too!
The Last of Us Part II (PlayStation 4)
Release Date: May 29
The Last of Us Part II was supposed to be one of the earlier gaming releases of 2020, but Naughty Dog had to push it back a few weeks. While this might be one of our most anticipated releases of the year, we are more than willing to give the devs all the time for the perfect continuation of Ellie and Joel’s story.
While these are some of the biggest releases with official release dates, there are plenty of games with a release window in the next year. Dying Light 2, Halo Infinite, Little Nightmares 2, and Ghost of Tsushima are all big gaming releases set to come out next year. Even George RR Martin’s Elden Ring is rumored to come out in 2020.
