Up to 36 new games announced at E3 2021 – grab a pencil and paper for your most anticipated list
From Forza Horizon 5 to The Guardians of the Galaxy through the new Metroid in 2D or the director’s version of Death Stranding for PS5. The video game fair has left us with a good handful of new games to keep track of, and in this special, we tell you about all of them.
Dozens of new video games presented in just a few days. It is the madness of events like the recently concluded E3 2021 , which has left us with big headlines and a good handful of new proposals that, until now, we had no news. There are so many that in 3DJuegos we have decided to bring together the new games announced during the event in a single theme, leaving out of the equation titles that we already knew about. Proposals such as Starfield, Halo Infinite or Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 are not worth it, to give a few examples.
There have been great surprises, such as the sequel to The Outer Worlds, the return of the long-awaited Advance Wars saga to Nintendo Switch with the remakes of GBA games, the unexpected Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox and PC, a new 2D Metroid or the The director’s cut of Death Stranding, which was presented with an enigmatic trailer that was, in itself, a tribute to the Metal Gear Solid saga. Then we leave you with all these new announcements, but not before reminding you that we love to read you, and we want to know your opinion about these titles. What has been your new favorite ad? Which game on this list do you prefer?
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Amicia and little Hugo return to the fray in A Plague Tale: Requiem, the new video game from Asobo Studio after astonishing the world with its first installment. The second title has a similar approach to the original, and once again offers a very careful narrative and a varied and well-maintained playable experience.
Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp
The classic Advance Wars strategy saga returns with this Re-Boot Camp that brings us back the first two video games of the series, but completely redone. Good strategy in the form of one of the classic launches of turn-based tactics that puts us in charge of a friendly army of soldiers on Switch.
Bramble: The Mountain King
With a truly amazing appearance and an interest in portraying the most striking Scandinavian folklore, Bramble: The Mountain King is a game that puts us in front of creatures of all kinds in a playable style of action and adventure with touches of terror; set, yes, in beautiful places and careful settings.
ontraband)
The guys at Avalanche Studios have a new brand of action and adventure in their hands of which few details are still known. The studio returns to the load with what it does best in a work that mixes everything they have learned in releases like Mad Max or the Just Cause saga itself.
Codename Final Form
Were you a fair first-person shooters? With Codename Final Form you have in your hands a new futuristic proposal of the most attractive. Here we will be a humanoid who is located in a very special ship, a challenge to break through in the genre of first-person shooters.
Crossfire: Legion
Watch out for Crossfire: Legion, because it has been one of the few real-time strategy video games that have been presented at E3 2021. The title is among the great bets of the Prime Matter label, Koch Media’s new video game brand, and is being developed by Blackbird Interactive.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
Hideo Kojima was one of the great protagonists of Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest with this release that comes to expand and broaden the original Death Stranding proposal. With surprising nods to the Metal Gear saga, the novelty of the Japanese genius promises to delight his fans.
Death’s door
With a careful approach to fantasy and action, Death’s Door puts us in the shoes of one of the Crows, a crow as its name suggests, a group of birds in charge of preying on the souls of the dead from the Hall of Doors, their lair. . The friendly animal will face countless enemies and great final bosses.
FAR: Changing Tides
Attention to FAR: Changing Tides, which may be one of the most beautiful video games of those who have passed through E3 2021. It is an indie title that promises a contemplative, relaxing and accessible experience for a large number of fans, an adventure that invites us to explore a fascinating flooded universe.
Forza Horizon 5
One of the big surprises of the Microsoft conference was the announcement of Forza Horizon 5, a new installment of arcade driving from Playground Games. The talented British studio will combine its development with the long-awaited new Fable, and will give us the best graphics we’ve seen on console to date.
Jurassic World Evolution 2
Management video games once again have an unmissable appointment with Jurassic World Evolution 2, the new installment in the Frontier Developments series about the well-known Steven Spielberg brand. Presented by Jeff Goldblum at the Summer Game Fest, the game has no release date yet.
Inscryption
Do you know The Hex or Pony Island? They are great works as unclassifiable as this Inscription promises to be, which is signed by the same author. Endless genres crowd in this release, which is a “self-destructive love letter” according to its own creator. At the moment everything that surrounds it is a mystery.
Mario Party Superstars
There are few things more fun than playing party games with friends, and in those struggles, the Mario Party saga is one that you cannot miss in your collection. Nintendo looks back and in this Superstars it gives us access to more than a hundred minigames from previous Mario Party, including the legendary Nintendo 64 game.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Ubisoft Milan (Switch / 2022)
Ubisoft’s big closing for its conference at E3 2021 was Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, a turn-based tactical action video game that follows the path of the original installment. The title brings a good handful of new heroes from which to choose our three protagonists who will fight their way through.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Eidos Montreal (PC, PS4, PS5, XOne, XSeries and Switch / October 26, 2021)
Although the possibility that we would have a Guardians of the Galaxy game among us soon had been rumored for some time, it was not until E3 2021 that it was confirmed. We will be Starlord in this individual game, with a campaign, without microtransactions and a classic approach.
Metal Slug Tactics
Leikir Studio (PC / To be determined)
The Metal Slug series has always been a festival of shots and explosions that has delighted fans of 2D action for decades, so the announcement of Metal Slug Tactics has been one of the surprises of E3 2021. Although it promises to be as intense as the originals, we went from running and shooting like crazy to standing, thinking and acting turn by turn.
Metroid Dread
The guys at Mercury Steam develop this 2D action and platform video game that recovers all the spirit of the most classic Metroid saga. Samus Aran returns to the charge with this title developed by the well-known studio based in San Sebastián de los Reyes and which has already faced other episodes of the series also from this perspective.
Painkiller
Saber Interactive (TBD / TBD)
One of the big surprises at the launch event for Prime Matter, Koch Media’s new label, has been Painkiller. The video game is being developed by Saber Interactive, but we are still not aware of whether it is a second part of the cult original, or if it is a remake or reimagining of that first-person shooter.
Phantom abyss
If it has the Devolver Digital stamp, it’s for a reason. This multiplayer action and adventure game promises asynchronous battles, in which we have to find relics that are hidden in procedurally generated scenarios. Your Early Access is about to start!
RedFall
Responsible for Prey and Dishonored, the Arkane team has proven to have talent to spare that we want to play whatever project they work on, and this is the case with RedFall. Action and open world with vampires in a combat experience that is still a mystery, but that promises to become strong in cooperative play.
Replaced
Can it be more beautiful and elegant than Replaced? It seems difficult! The indie video game was one of the most striking releases of all those presented at the Microsoft conference at E3 2021. A 2D action video game with a wonderful pixel-art and a commendable combat and exploration proposal.
Rocksmith +
Do you miss musical games? Ubisoft wants us to dust electric guitars, basses or almost any instrument with a subscription service in which they will teach us to play them in conditions to be the life of the party. But first it will be necessary to improve and evolve, reaching the entrusted objectives.
Salt and Sacrifice
The success of Dark Souls led to the birth of a good handful of video games that tried to emulate its formula, but some went a step further, such as Salt & Sanctuary, which successfully adapted that style of play to two dimensions. In order to enhance your action, this sequel adds co-op and new ways to fight monsters.
Scars Above
Scars Above is a striking action and science fiction title where we play Kate Ward, a scientist whose ship is lost on a truly hostile planet from which we must try to get out alive. An apparently simple approach that hides a most striking video game
Soulstice
A game that promises unbridled action never sounds bad. And from that approach comes Soulstice, an RPG with hack and slash elements that will arrive in 2022. We will take control of Briar and Lute, two sisters who must face a dark world, full of enemies. It will be time to combine the skills of the two at the same time and take advantage of their abilities to avoid chaos.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
Team Ninja (PC, PS5, XSeries, XOne and PS4 / 2022)
Discovering the origins of the Final Fantasy universe from the perspective of a challenging Dark Souls-style action game sounds great, but the presentation of this Stranger of Paradise has generated a great division of opinion. With its PS5 demo now available for download, fans are beginning to discover the virtues of the Ninja Theme game.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania
Sega (Switch / October 5)
A classic of labyrinthine routes, this time with more than 300 levels and as many mini-games. Its greatest particularity? Simple, which brings together the three Super Monkey Ball games, remastered for the occasion. All on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of this license that has few followers. There must be a reason!
Survival Machine
Grapes Pickers (PC / To be determined)
A new contender arrives in action and survival games. In this third person game we will have to travel through lands that constantly evolve obtaining resources using a machine as a base. All this so that the zombie threat that arrives at night does not devastate the area.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Gearbox (PC, XSeries, PS5, XOne, PS4 / Early 2022)
The crazy action of Borderlands combined with RPG elements of fantasy adventures. Sounds good, right? Borderlands 2’s fantastic RPG DLC showed the way, and this new game seeks to take it to the highest level. Spells, character customization, and lots and lots of co-op action to go crazy with Tiny Tina.
The Anacrusi
The writer of Half Life 2: Episode 1 embarks on a new adventure that looks too good to go unnoticed. In The Anacrusis we will have to join forces with three other players to end an alien threat, in a cooperative shooter that has its greatest assets in its progression and at a frenetic pace.
The Outer Worlds 2
After the success of the first installment, The Outer Worlds 2 comes with a sequel under its arm that wants to fulfill the maxim of “more and better.” We will have new planets to explore and many quirky characters to meet, in an adventure in which a good sense of humor will not be lacking.
Trek to Yomi
wo Point Campus
If you already proved to be the best managing a hospital plagued with patients with delusions and funny diseases, get ready because now you will have to create the best university campus. But Two Point Campus goes one step further with many more building options and deeper management that takes the lives of students into account.
Wario Ware: Get It Together!
Wario is back! And he does it in the best possible way, as he knows best: with microgames. Nintendo, as a great novelty in the series, promises a mode for two players in which you can enjoy the tests in company, either with two Joy-Con or via wireless connection. All of course with the irreverence of this character.
Wartales
Strategy cannot be absent in this new adventure from the creators of Northgard, which will lead us to lead a group of mercenaries in an open-world adventure with RPG touches, in which we will explore and discover the secrets hidden in the tombs of the ancients.
Wizard with a Gun
Interesting bet that stands out for a very picturesque visual style and a style that puts us squarely in an online cooperative survival game in which we will have to face all kinds of creatures while we move through a magical desert. Weapons. spells and whatever it takes to keep going as we delve into its mysteries.
