All The Games
There are plenty of new and exciting games to play on Xbox One this year, but what lies ahead next year? After all, 2019 fast approaches with its own lineup of highly-anticipated games. In this feature we're rounding up all the Xbox One games that are launching next year or later for your reference.
At a glance, these include titles like BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem, Rage 2 from Bethesda, Ubisoft's ambitious pirate game Skull & Bones, and the gorgeous-looking platformer sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The Xbox and PC exclusive Crackdown 3 was supposed to launch in 2018, but was recently pushed to 2019. While not absolutely confirmed, we're expecting CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 to also come out next year or potentially later.
Waiting is tough, but games like these are massive endeavors that take time. Many of this year's games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, and many, many more should prove worthy distractions to keep our minds off of the debilitating wait.
In the meantime, which Xbox One games are you looking forward to the most? Let us know in the comments below.
Anthem
Anthem is easily BioWare's most ambitious title. Focusing on the exploits of heavily armored freelancers on a hostile alien planet, you'll work together with other players online to take on dangerous missions while exploring the furthest reaches of the world. While this sounds a lot like Destiny, BioWare's approach to the concept of the shared-world shooter looks like an interesting change of pace from other games of the genre, and we can't wait to see more.
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: February 22, 2019
Crackdown 3
Crackdown 3 is one of Microsoft's biggest upcoming Xbox One exclusives. The game utilizes cloud-based server technology for its multiplayer mode, which allows for environmental destruction on a large scale. It retains the gameplay of its predecessors, featuring a number of different organizations controlling the city of New Providence that you'll need to take down by killing their kingpins, destroying their bases, and destabilizing their infrastructures.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: February 2019
Cyberpunk 2077
The next game from the creators of The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, is set in a dystopian, sci-fi future world. It appears more bright and vibrant than the initial tease a few years back. It appears to take place in a dazzling city of dreams, a metropolis of giant buildings adorned with dazzling screens, where organic skin is meshed with futuristic tech.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Dead or Alive 6
Kasumi, Hayate, Helena, and plenty of other familiar faces return to the arena in Dead or Alive 6. This fighting game will continue to utilize the franchise's staple complexity when it comes to combos and counters, while upping the realism of its visuals. Two new mechanics, Fatal Rush and Break Gauge, shake up the combat by introducing an easier way for beginners to compete.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: Early 2019
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Xbox One console exclusive Ori and the Blind Forest was a critical hit when it launched in 2015, and now developer Moon Studios is back with a sequel. Ori and the Will of the Wisps builds on the first game's ingenious platforming and compelling story, and we can't wait to see more.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Rage 2
Rage 2 is perhaps the most unlikely sequel to come out of E3 this year, but with id Software bringing Avalanche Studios along for the ride there's plenty of reason to be excited about its potential. Avalanche has years of experience crafting large and chaotic worlds in games like Mad Max and Just Cause, with vehicle combat and special effects chief among their notable talents. Id, of course, is the studio that pioneered first-person shooting and continues to deliver hard-hitting games like 2016's Doom. It could be a match made in heaven, but we won't know until Rage 2 ships.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: June 2019
Sea of Solitude
Sea of Solitude is an upcoming EA Originals game about a lonely girl whose emotions manage to turn her into a monster and her surroundings into a flooded post-apocalyptic world. She must explore in order to find a way to turn back into a human.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Skull & Bones
Skull & Bones sets sail in the Indian Ocean, setting you on a quest to become a pirate of the ages. The game will feature single- and multiplayer options and is centered around naval warfare.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: Holiday 2019
Twin Mirror
Dontnod Entertainment is partnering with Bandai Namco to create Twin Mirror, a new psychological thriller. Based on the E3 2018 trailer, the story focuses on a character named Sam who wakes up one day to discover a shocking amount of blood on his clothing and no memory as to the cause. As Sam attempts to piece together the events from the night before, he will explore both the real world and surreal manifestations of his own psyche. Twin Mirror looks intriguing so far, but being one big mystery, we'll have to wait until we see more of the game to get a grasp of how we ultimately fit into Sam's harrowing investigation.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: 2019
Battletoads
A brand-new Battletoads game has been announced. No gameplay was shown, but we did learn that it will have three-player couch co-op and 2.5D graphics. In addition, the art in the game appeared hand-drawn--at least according to the announcement trailer.

Devil May Cry 5
After years of waiting, we're finally getting a brand new Devil May Cry game. And in a rather surprising twist, it's a direct continuation to Devil May Cry 4. The debut trailer mainly focused on returning protagonist Nero, who appears to be accompanied by an unnamed woman. However, the last few seconds indicated that Dante will return too.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: Spring 2019
Doom Eternal
Doom Eternal is the upcoming sequel to the critically-acclaimed Doom reboot from 2016. The game takes everything that the previous game did and pushes it forward: the Doomslayer is more powerful than before, the number of enemies have doubled, and it takes place on Earth.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Dying Light 2
In the sequel to the first-person apocalyptic survival shooter, players will have plenty more chances to practice their sweet parkour while killing zombies. However, this time around, player’s choices will have real effects on the world and push the story down different paths.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA
The Elder Scrolls VI
Bethesda finally announced the next game in the Elder Scrolls series: The Elder Scrolls VI. No other details about the game were provided at E3 outside of a short teaser. It shows a mountainous region and some fog accompanied by a version of the iconic Dovahkiin music. A setting wasn't specified, although fans are sure to do some sleuthing to narrow down the list of possibilities. Hopefully, we'll get more details sooner than later.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Gears 5
Gears of War returns with its fifth entry. This time around you play as Kait, who originally appeared in Gears of War 4. Gears 5 sees Kait embark on a journey to discover the truth behind the visions plaguing her mind--most likely an effect of the Locust necklace she inherited from her grandmother.

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: March 18, 2019
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil 2 Remake takes the 1998 survival-horror game of the same name and remakes it from the ground up. While it faithfully recreates the game's environment and story beats, it takes liberties with the appearance and gameplay of the original.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: January 29, 2019
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the long-awaited new game from acclaimed studio, From Software. It appears to be expanding upon the classic Dark Souls formula by introducing stealth-action elements and more acrobatic maneuvers.

Starfield
For the first time in 25 years, Bethesda is creating a new IP. We don’t know much about Starfield. However, based on the game's title and brief teaser trailer, it's probably safe to say that this RPG will take place in space.

Wolfenstein Youngblood
Wolfenstein Youngblood is set in an alternate 1980s Paris and follows the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It stars series protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters, who are working together to continue the fight against the Nazis. The game can be played solo or co-op.
