10 Upcoming Video Games That Will Definitely Flop
5. Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Release Date: November 10
Why It Will Flop: Ballsy as it is for Namco Bandai to release this much-anticipated RPG between new entries into the Call of Duty and Star Wars Battlefront franchises, it's hard to imagine the game flourishing amid such a crowded slate.
Sure, there's probably not a gigantic overlap between CoD players and Ni No Kuni fans, but with so many AAA western games generally hitting stores around this time, it seems awfully easy for Revenant Kingdom to get lost in the shuffle, much like The Last Guardian did last year.
A January release would've been much more sensible, as per the last game's western release, but instead the publisher is taking a gamble that this more artistic offering will succeed in a sea of more conventional AAA titles.
