12 Best Upcoming Xbox One Games in 2017

2017 is here, and it seems to be an awesome year for all the gamers out there. There has been a host of cool games that were announced for Xbox One. We have gathered 12 of the best games that will be released this year and which can be played on Xbox One that includes some cool sequels and some originals to get you all excited.

In this article, we will be showcasing the best upcoming Xbox One games that we think will make the top of the charts. All these games are selected based on the story, graphics, latest features, and much more.

1. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

I know Resident Evil 6 was a major fail when it came out because we all were disappointed by the game’s level of activity. But Resident Evil promises to return to its full glory of ‘survival horror’ with Resident Evil 7, which is supposed to be a worthy sequel of the previous versions with all the dread and suspense.

You will be the first person player, and from what we have witnessed so far, the environment is quite dark and dingy, to begin with. Another major benefit of Resident Evil 7 is that it is completely supported on VR devices. We are eagerly awaiting the spine chilling, first player experience.

Release date: January 24th

2. For Honor

When you are a lover of disorganized combats, then you must fall in love with For Honor. For Honor is a multiplayer game that allows you to engage in melee combat with knights, samurai, and Vikings. The game setting is in a chaotic battlefield, which brings forth even more effect to the fighting.

All the combat skills used in the game are quite exciting, and be it the last second block or the hit, all of them have quite some weightage attached. The animations are motion captured and are graceful and fluid in nature. These animations are unique concerning each of the characters in the game that can be played by you.

Release date: February 14th.

3. Sniper Elite 4

Ready to show off the shooter in you? Sniper Elite 4 will allow you to use all the shooting skills you have in you with the awesome graphics and a good continuation of the story that had begun quite some time ago. Karl is still fighting his way through the era of World War 2, but his bullet timings are more gruesome than it was earlier and he has reached as far as Mussolini’s den in Italy where the Nazis were always welcome. However, Karl has a different point of view, and you have to help him protect his country against the fascism of the Nazis and gain victory by making England win and the d day landing.

Release Date: February 14th

4. Halo Wars 2

If you try to compare it with the original Halo, you might be a bit disappointed. But if you are looking for something a bit different from the original game, you will be addicted to Halo Wars 2. With awesome tactical actions on offer, Halo Wars 2 comes in a multiplayer version, allowing as many as six players to join the fun at once.

With so many players playing at once, you can expect the game to be quite gruesome. You get to fight against “the Banished,” who is a new kind of enemy to be taken care of. You will be supplied with the Halo rings from a forerunner installer, which makes the game more attractive in nature.

Release Date: February 21st

5. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands

If you weren’t fond of the advanced tech that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon is usually associated with, then you are in luck. Ubisoft has decided to remove it to make Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands a more rugged game down to earth and allows the players to enter a team based military ops. The game’s background is set in modern times in Bolivia, where a drug cartel is in full swing. You have to make sure that you take down this cartel systematically along with your elite team to save humankind and return victorious. The setting is in a giant open world and is packed with action.

Release date: March 7th

6. Mass Effect: Andromeda

If you thought that the game ended with Shepherd taking down the Reapers and saving the world, you would be mistaken. Mass Effect: Andromeda brings forth a whole new world of adventure for you to indulge in. From what we know, Mass Effect: Andromeda allows the gamers to search to find a new home for the whole of humanity.

Although Mass Effect: Andromeda is mostly a hush-hush job right now, from what the trailer shows, it will be quite a slick game to be played. Mass Effect: Andromeda packs an adventure filled with shooting, romance, and conversations, in sync with the older version of the trilogy, which is why we are even more.

Release date: March 21st

7. South Park: The Fractured But Whole

As the cartoon always takes on the current issues sarcastically, so does the game, which is a satirical take on Hollywood’s obsession with superheroes and super teams, which combats against the world’s evil. The forever children who dwell in South Park are at war with each other, supporting their favorite heroes and dousing the others. You are the new kid on the block and get to choose your hero whom you want to support and the gender of your character too. The makers have been dedicatedly involved in every step of South Park: The Fractured But Whole, where the farts seem to be making a comeback to add to the fun.

Release date: March 31st

8. Yooka-Laylee

If you are looking for something cute to play with on your Xbox, then Yooka-Laylee is the perfect match for you. Here you get to travel across a gorgeous landscape which is home to the birds and the bears. Throughout the game, you will be guiding the duo of Yooka, the chameleon, and Laylee the bat across this beautiful landscape where you will face various actions such as jumps, run across, and snags from heights, which will be quite tempting.

Bandai Namco’s famous 3D characters make a comeback in this game along with some newcomers.

The veterans of King of Iron Fist Tournament, along with players like Kazumi Mishima, Kazuya’s mother, make a comeback in Tekken 7, capable of performing tiger uppercuts with the help of her beast companion.
