As 2021 nears its end, there are still many households without Xbox Series consoles. The tall, black, fridge-like Xbox Series X and the slim, white, DVD player-like Xbox Serie S have remained on store shelves, so many aren’t enjoying those Xbox Series games.
But for those who were lucky enough to own either console, they had great games to enjoy and it’s only the beginning. A new year is just around the corner and will already have a juggernaut line-up of Xbox Series games–some of which have made this list. Take a look:
‘Elden Ring’ (Nov 12, 2022)
FromSoftware has always stuck the landing with its ‘Souls’ games and similarly designed action RPG titles. And its latest project, called "Elden Ring," is expected to do the same. Like its predecessors, this one’s also set in a dark fantasy backdrop. But its lore feels almost like an homage to a certain book-to-film franchise this time around. It features the usual combat system but with the addition of mounted and stealth attacks.
‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl’ (Apr 2022)
The official ‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’ franchise has been on the hiatus since "Call of Pripyat" was still a thing. Now after nearly 13 years of waiting, the sequel and fourth installment known as "Heart of Chernobyl" will take players back to the anomalous plains of Ukraine where the infamous Chernobyl disaster started. The FPS is built on a new engine sporting the crispest details to ever contextualize the franchise.
