Release dates: every video game confirmed for 2020

by

Just looking at the sheer number of big, highly-anticipated games coming in 2020, there’s very little chance the year will disappoint.

2020 has kicked off, and as we do every year, we’re bringing you a round-up of all the video game release dates in one place. So many games originally shooting for 2019 got pushed back to the new year, to say nothing of the many other heavy-hitters aiming for launch in 2020.

The year will hopefully be one to remember, though we do hope the real world doesn’t screw things up too much.

January

2020 kicked things off with a healthy release schedule in January. Capcom was once again the first to strike with the Iceborne’s PC launch. If Monster Hunter was not your thing, you may have been tempted by Warcraft 3: Reforged, Journey to the Savage Planet, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, or the Re Mind DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3.

February started off slow with Yakuza 5 Remastered, and Zombie Army 4. Things ramped up towards the end with Romance of The Three Kingdoms 14, the console release of Two Point Hospital, and One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows.

March

In what’s quickly becoming known as early October, March this year was well and truly stacked. Ori and the Will of the Wisps opened things up in the first few days, before Nioh 2, Doom Eternal, Half-Life: Alyx, and Persona 5 Royal took over. March also saw the surprise release of Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered on PS4, and the Early Access launch of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord.

April

The onslaught continued in April, which was vying to feature an even bigger volume of highly-anticipated games. April saw the release of Resident Evil 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Gears Tactics, Trials of Mana and more. We also got a surprise new XCOM game in Chimera Squad.

May

May looked alright before, but multiple high-profile delays have left us with a decent, if not amazing line-up. We still have Maneater, and The Wonderful 101: Remastered to look forward to.

June

The long-awaited Command & Conquer remaster kicks June off, before the illusive The Last of Us Part 2 – arguably June’s biggest game – finally arrives later in the month. Desperados 3 and the Switch port of The Outer Worlds will all be doing the business in June.

July

July brings us yet another PS4 exclusive in Ghost of Tsushima. It is once again the biggest game of the month, but let’s not forget the PC release of Death Stranding, the Trackmania remake, F1 2020 and the Early Access launch of Obsidian’s Grounded.

August

Summer continues to rage on, but that also means we’re getting closer to the very busy late-2020 period. Until then, though, we’ll have Wasteland 3, Amazon’s New World MMO, and the console launch of Insurgency: Sandstorm to keep us entertained in August.

Q2, Q3, spring and summer 2020

While the games below do not yet have solid release dates, their creators are hoping to put them out around either spring or summer. This section covers the June – September period, including Q3.

Q4, fall and holiday 2020

Holiday 2020 is a special time not just because of the festivities, but also because it’s a start of a new console generation. Launch games and the consoles themselves should eat up this period, to say nothing of re-releases and the like.

Other games expected in 2020

You’ve now reached the – as it currently stands – longest section of this entire list. Games that do not fit into any of the above categories will end up here, until they hopefully graduate with a proper release date, or get pushed back to the following year.

More 2020 games

Sometimes, games are announced very early into their development, and may not yet have projected release dates. We’re going to round those all up below, right along with projects aiming to drop 2021.
