10 MIND-BLOWING Upcoming RPGs You Need To Know About

Role-playing games, role-playing games, everywhere you look. Whether they’re set in a huge cyber-city, the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse or in collaboration with George R.R. Martin, RPGs will be carrying on their momentum going into the next generation of gaming.

Luckily for us, more RPGs means more choices, and the games on this list come in varying shapes, sizes and tastes. So, whether you want to beat zombies in 3D or from a top-down perspective, flesh out your character as a vampire or explore space using a (probably) outdated engine, you’ve got plenty to look forward to in the coming years.

Some of these games we don’t know much about, some were due for release in 2020 and got delayed, others will be years away. There’s no particular order but we wanted to compile a list of the most mind-blowing upcoming RPGs that have gotten us hyped, some from as little as a name and circulating interviews.

Now, before you ask, we’ve skipped on Cyberpunk and tried to delve deeper, looking at more unique, quirky, lesser known titles, or far away ones that could change everything.

Rocket Raccoon, The Video Game or more formally known as Biomutant, is an open-world RPG in which you play as a little cat, raccoon, animal-thing. Mutated and ready for all sorts of customisation, the little fella has the potential for a whole host of attacks, movement and abilities.

For example, the main focus of combat is a martial art, kung fu style that is heavily inspired by the quick, impactful movements found in comic books or animated shows. You can learn new styles from different masters and stray in combat paths as you please but the player choice doesn’t end there.

According to showings of the game, your character build will be important from the very beginning. The overall feel of your little guy will be dependent on their size, strength, agility, intelligence, etc. If they’re buff as hell, they’ll be better suited for heavy melee weapons but likely much slower. If they’re agile, they’ll be quicker and maybe shorter, choosing lighter weapons.

Intelligence also plays a part in regard to social aspects found throughout this large and colourful world. Beyond the craziness of playing a small furry protagonist, Biomutant seems to be taking itself very seriously in regard to levelling, skills and consequences of player choice.
