Microsoft, Ubisoft, Sony, Electronic Arts, Bethesda, Activision already have lined up the best sellers for 2016. To name a few, Call of Duty, Mass Effect: Andromeda, the next Star Wars game, and Microsoft’s Gears of War 4. But here are a few that you may have forgotten about.
Tom Clancy’s The Division - PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Ubisoft
The Division is Ubisoft's newest original title set inside Tom Clancy's cosmos. Ubisoft has been known for delaying game releases and/or launching over hyped garbage. But back to the game, it is an open world multiplayer game that takes place during winter in New York City after a disease has wreaked mayhem on the town.
The game is presented via a third person viewpoint, and it lets every player equip as well as change the appearance of the crew / character. You must survive against your rival factions and other enemies found throughout the snow-swept town and underground subway system. Ultimately the game looks like fun chaos, where players can team up or decide to battle against another at anytime.

Overwatch - Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC via Blizzard Entertainment
We all know that Blizzard is best known for role playing games like, World of Warcraft, strategy games, StarCraft II. So it may be a shocker to you that Overwatch is a multiplayer first person shooter...Yeah. FPS.
Overwatch is set to release in Q1/Q2 of 2016. The game was first unveiled at BlizzCon 2014, which showed a high reliance on cooperative game-play based on "heroes" that each have a specific role and ability. The game did have a closed beta in North America and Europe in late 2015, with plans to bring the beta to Asia at a later date. The game will be released on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (no Mac OSX release set, which is strange because Blizzard has done this in the past).
The game looks highly colorful and comic book like appearance. Six players of two teams engage in fight cross ways maps based on actual locations similar to Japan, London as well as prehistoric Egypt. More details will be added as we learn more.
