Best Upcoming Open World Games in 2019
Generation Zero
With Just Cause 4 done and dusted, Avalanche Studios is turning its full attention to its next project: Generation Zero. This time, the whimsical tones and chaos of the Just Causes series are being swapped for something more subtle.
Generation Zero is a story-driven open world cooperative experience, in which players explore a world filled with hostile DIY-looking machines. Their designs have a distinctly 80s flavor, a cobbled together appearance that’s a far cry from the futuristic robots we’ve seen in games like Horizon Zero Dawn.
While the action isn’t quite as frenetic as Just Cause, the game has been designed to allow players to experiment tactically. You’ll be able to lure machines into well-laid traps and rely on tactics and strategy to overcome your enemies.
Avalanche is calling it “guerilla action” –not quite as sneaky as stealth, but more measured and tactical than running and gunning. It sounds rather like Metal Gear Solid V, which we don’t mind at all.
The game uses an hub-style area where players can take main missions and side-quests, and players are given free rein to approach the world as they please.
Generation Zero is set to release some time in 2019, though an official release date hasn’t been set.
