Most Anticipated Games of 2021
4. Ghostwire Tokyo
Staff Writer Keenan McCall: When it comes to upcoming games that have captured the wider gaming community’s attention, Ghostwire: Tokyo sits pretty high up on the list.
Helmed by acclaimed Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, the game is a survival horror action title set in Tokyo after a mysterious event leads to the disappearance of the majority of the city’s populace.
Not only that, but dangerous spirits now roam its streets, eager to do away with any who were lucky enough to remain behind. As such, it’s up to the player to determine what happened using their newly manifested supernatural powers.
This concept is interesting enough, but recent trailers have shown off the conceit of its gameplay. Players can dart around environments and do battle with spirits through fast-paced first-person action.
Mysterious figures that could be responsible for the event wander the streets, and players will need to chase them down for answers.
Admittedly though, even with the impressive pedigree behind the project and the gameplay shown so far, most of the game’s hype comes from not knowing what’s still in store from it.
How the player’s powers will play into the plot, who the primary antagonists are, and what even happened to the city’s populace are still huge unknowns, leaving the gaming community hungry for everything this title will provide upon release.
It all goes to show that there’s more than a little excitement for Ghostwire: Tokyo’s release later this year, and that more than a few gamers will be counting the days until they can get their hands on it.
