10 Hotly-Anticipated RPGs That Will Blow You Away In 2019

5. Tale Of Ronin

From a pure visual perspective, there's no other game quite as striking as Tale of Ronin on this list. The evocative, 2D art style immediately transports you into this world, which is poised to chronicle the human side of the Feudal Japanese Samurai

While the tactical turn-based combat takes the focus in most of the screenshots released so far (perhaps rightly so, as it's attempting to capture the high-stakes, push-and-pull battles found in the best Samurai movies), developers Dead Mage are also promising a rich, dynamic story that will challenge players with tough decisions and moral dilemmas. You've got to survive by any means necessary, and how you manage to keep alive is going to dictate the kind of person you end up becoming.

There's no firm release date locked in yet, but between this and Ghost of Tsushima, 2019 could turn out to be the year of the Samurai.
