16 Most Hotly-Anticipated Video Games Of 2017

6. Assassin's Creed 2017

Assassins Creed Unity

I have high hopes that the next entry in Ubisoft's flagship franchise will be a reinvention of sorts; a grand return to the highs of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and less a tired rehash of the largely forgettable Unity and Syndicate.

Usually, my expectation levels would peak around the level of cautious optimism for such a thing to happen, but with Ubisoft having finally decided to give the series a rest for at least a year, one can only hope that drastic changes are afoot.

If the latest rumors are to be believed, the next full-blooded Assassin's Creed game will be taking place in Ancient Egypt, so expect everything that entails that period if they're true.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say that exploring the internal workings of the Great Pyramids and rubbing shoulders with (read: probably killing) the Pharaohs is a prospect too promising to pass up.
