Best of 2016 Game Awards - Most Anticipated

Best of 2016 Game Awards - Most Anticipated
Gran Turismo Sport

While a lot of people were understandably upset when Sony pushed Gran Turismo Sport's release to 2017, it's shaping up to be a racing game that lives up to Polyphony's colorful legacy. Add in PlayStation VR support and well, it's easy to see why GT Sport will most likely run laps around its competitors next year.
Mass Effect Andromeda

If you've played any of the Mass Effect games, then Andromeda's inclusion is a no-brainer. It's arguably the best new IP last generation, and possibly the best RPG as franchise, even.

BioWare seems to be putting in a lot of new tweaks, and at the same time, improving on every facet of the trilogy imaginable. This one won't just compete for Best RPG of 2017, but could very well be in the running as the Game of the Year of 2017.
Red Dead Redemption 2

Rumor after rumor, report after report. Red Dead Redemption 2's announcement was surprising and not-so-surprising at the same time. Given the success of its predecessor, it's fair to say that a lot of us are looking forward to Rockstar's next Wild West adventure.
Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn has an intriguing premise, and is brought to us by the studio behind the technical marvel called Killzone: Shadow Fall. From what we've seen so far, the game looks absolutely promising and if Guerilla Games can nail its story and setting, we're looking at potentially one of the best games of this generation.
Persona 5

The Persona series has been building momentum like a freight train with no brakes and even a delay out of 2016 couldn't stop that. Each trailer and screenshot is met with such crazy excitement that it's not hard to see how this could be one of the most anticipated games of 2017.
