More dates are certain to be confirmed as the year goes on, so make sure to check back often as we update this article with new additions. So, stay in touch with the "Pro-Bros Arena"




1. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Release Date: 18 January 2019
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
Developers: BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, Project Aces, Bandai Namco Studios

Bandai Namco's cult most loved series of flight sims is gearing up for a major comeback, taking the dogfighting action back to the alternate world of Strangereal for Ace Combat's present gen debut. The fast-paced aerial skirmishes look incredible whether you're steering from the first-person cockpit or a third-person view, and the campaign guarantees to contextualize the battlefield in the skies with a healthy dose of political interest and Top Gun-esque acting.  The person who owns a PlayStation VR headset gets the special reward of PS VR-exclusive missions that make you feel like you're really flying your very own fighter jet.



2. Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Release Date: January 25, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: Survival Horror
Developer: Capcom

Fans requested it, and Capcom has reacted in kind. The Resident Evil 2 remake takes you back to a survival horror classic. Reacquainting us with Leon Scott Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they battle for their lives in the infection tainted Raccoon City. And once the dust settled on E3 2018, it was clear that Resident Evil 2 Remake was one of the stars of the show. It's stunning to see how the Resident Evil 7 engine has improved the visual revamp of this 1998 classic: the very point by point zombies are covered in blood, slime, and rotting flesh, and the premonition environment look frighteningly lifelike. The third-person, over-the-shoulder camera should bring the gameplay more in line with modern expectations, making for some truly claustrophobic scares, and the reimagined cutscenes strive to be legitimately spine-chilling as they retell the original story. Put simply, this remake won't be for the faint of heart. 



3. Kingdom Hearts 3

Release Date: January 29, 2019
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: Action RPG
Developer: Square Enix

The Disney based game is at last set for a firm release date in January, and with it, a huge amount of new franchise are making their series debut in Kingdom Hearts 3. Confirmed to show up are characters and locals from Tangled, Big Hero 6, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., and Frozen. And plenty more that we've seen before, for example, Hercules and Pirates of the Caribbean. But the question is whether the gameplay of the PlayStation 2 period still holds up so many years later?



4. Crackdown 3

Release date: February 2019
Platforms: Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
Developers: Sumo Digital, Reagent Games, Cloudgine, Ruffian Games

4 years after its debut at E3 2014, we still have no clue what's in store from Crackdown 3. We got a new trailer at Microsoft's conference this year, and it gave off an impression of being comprised of in-game footage, yet we're still just as clueless as you are for the most part. Terry Crews presently gives off an impression of being a prominent aspect of the game. And keeping in mind that we love Crews, his VO work in the latest trailer can be depicted as over the top at best.

If you're willing to see how it look like then here's the latest short gameplay of Crackdown 3 by IGN.







5. Trials Rising

Initial release date: 12 February 2019
Genre: Racing
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows
Developers: Ubisoft, RedLynx, Ubisoft Ukraine

The physics-based motorcycle stunt series is back with Trials Rising. The Trials community will be able to make and offer tracks with different players over the globe in this rendition. And you'll likewise have the option to customize your racer and bike with a large number of various items including helmets, jackets and trousers. There are a plenty of landmarks over the globe that will have tracks dependent on them. A lot of modes are incorporated, some new and some old. Declared so far are Tandem Mode, 4-Player offline co-op, Contracts, Asynchronous Challenges, and of course Online Multiplayer. The game looks like a blast to play solo or with friends. 



6. Anthem

Release Date: February 22, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: Action Role-Playing
Developer: BioWare

Arguably a standout amongst the most exciting games slated for 2019 is BioWare's hopeful come back to form in Anthem. The game surprised when it appeared at E3 in 2017, and after a year, it's still high on people's wishlist. The title joins third-person shooting and action RPG elements within a shared open world. 

You play as a Freelancer taking part in third-person, Mass Effect-style shootouts, armored up in your Javelin exosuit to explore and eliminate within some gigantic alien biomes. Up to four players can adventure together within their customizable Javelin suits. The game is intended for a group, but single-player will be supported too.

7. Metro Exodus

Release Date: February 15, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Developer: 4A Games

Metro Exodus is the third game in this criminally overlooked post-apocalyptic FPS series, transporting you to the irradiated ruins of modern civilization, now abounding with mutated creatures, which some way or another still manage to look beautiful. The game begins off from Last Light's "Redemption" ending and continues with the story of Artyom as he attempts to escape the Metro in Moscow. The title will see Artyom and his wife Anna attempt to travel far east to start a new life. However, that journey will be more unsafe than Artyom or Anna know. 

Exodus will feature both sandbox environment and linear levels to progress the plot. The story will happen through the span of a year, with the game's dynamic climate and day-night cycle constantly showing signs of change regions dependent on the season.




8. Devil May Cry 5

Release Date: March 8, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: Action-Adventure
Developer: Capcom

Many conjectured that it would be Sony's E3 conference in which the much-rumored Devil May Cry 5 would make its appearance. But, no, quite an opposite in fact. Microsoft's E3 conference got the reveal of a game. And, fans of the series couldn't be more excited. 

Both Dante and Nero will return as playable characters in DMC 5. A third playable character is also introduced. It feels really satisfying when your game's hero is surfing rockets like a surfboard directly into an evil demon's face?

9. Tom Clancy's The Division 2

Release Date: March 15, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

10. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Release Date: 22 March 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: Adventure-Adventure
Developer: FromSoftware

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice comes to us from the same team that created Bloodborne for PlayStation 4. The game looks comparable in gameplay to Bloodborne and the developers' other outstanding work, the Dark Souls series. However, the game won't feature RPG elements nor multiplayer modes like the others do.

The setting is sixteenth century Sengoku Japan. You play as a shinobi named Sekiro as the character attempts to take revenge on a samurai who recently assaulted Sekiro and kidnapped his lord. The samurai has disjoined one of Sekiro's arms, consequently prompting an in-game mechanic in which Sekiro can install different gadgets and accessories upon his prosthetic and upgrade them all through his adventure. 

The most alluring feature spotted so far? A grappling hook, which could drastically change how we traverse the expertly made zones and arenas. Cool! Isn't it?




11. Mortal Kombat 11

Release Date: 23 April 2019
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch
Developers: NetherRealm Studios

Mortal Kombat has been one of the most popular fighters game in the world for decades. NetherRealm Studios announced Mortal Kombat 11 to the world in an official revealed trailer at The Game Awards 2018. Mortal Kombat 11 will release on 23 April 2019 for multiple platforms including PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch. The trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 was typically bloodier. With heads being removed from bodies and blood flowing freely. Also, the trailer seems to feature just how detailed the brutality zoom-ins will be in the new game. Preorders for both console and PC start on December 7, 2018, Although there's no word on when the game's beta access period will start.




12. Days Gone

Release Date: April 26, 2019
Platform: PlayStation 4
Genre: Survival-Horror, Action-Adventure
Developer: SIE Bend

The more we see of Sony Bend's Days Gone the more the upcoming title seems to impress. Gone are the days of thinking the project is "simply one more zombie game". Rather, it's demonstrated to give a convincing lived in world in which you constantly stumble upon environmental hazards. And because of 'not just any zombie game' it has been the most anticipated game for a long time, lastly, it will release on 26 April 2019.

13. Team Sonic Racing

Release Date: 21 May 2019
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows
Developer: Sumo Digital

Sonic and his numerous buddies are back for their third kart-racing competition - and before you ask, Sonic races in a car as a handicap because there'd be no challenge if he was running on his foot. Sumo Digital, the same developer behind the splendid Sonic All-Stars Racing games, is back for Team Sonic Racing, which focuses exclusively on the Sonic universe and places drivers in groups as they compete for a combined score instead of pole position. It's certainly a takeoff from the more conventional arcade racing of the past games, and the Sonic focus, unfortunately, avoids all that superbly obscure Sega fan service. But, the dynamic visuals and finely tuned fundamentals are still there, with all the boosting, item-blasting, and mid-air tricking you could seek after.



14. Rage 2

Release Date: May 14, 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Developer: Avalanche Studios, id Software

The infamous Walmart leak of 2018 spoiled the reveal of Rage 2 for the majority. Many people questioned the legitimacy of the retailer's listing, but when a franchise as obscure as Rage was confirmed just as the leak predicted, we realized it had to be legit. The game looks to be a fabulously frantic mashup of Doom and Mad Max. Which well makes sense considering id developed Doom and Avalanche developed Mad Max.

Players wander the game's apocalyptic open world after a giant asteroid devastates the majority of mankind, the survivors need to fight for themselves against armies of horrendous bandits and mutants with deadly tendencies. And also, Rage 2 brings back the deadly boomerang known as the wingstick, and amps up the firefights with a lot of dashing and an adrenaline-pumping, neon-soaked berserker mode.



15. Shenmue 3

Release Date: 27 August 2019
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4
Genre: Action-Adventure
Developers: YS Net, Neilo

The Shenmue series was never a huge commercial success, but thanks to some extent to Kickstarter and a large number of fans' hard-earned dollars, the project is completely in progress. In Shenmue 3, you'll play the job of a martial artist named Ryo Hazuki as he attempts to reveal who is responsible for his dad's murder. The game guarantees to have gameplay reminiscent of the past titles, enabling players to go up against enemies in hand-to-hand combat, upgrade combat abilities, and explore a living world loaded with towns, shops, and an active populous.


So these are the upcoming games of 2019 with confirmed release dates, We'll keep updating this list as soon as any other release date is confirmed, so stay in touch with the "Pro-Bros Arena"

Battlefield V - Review:

Battlefield V's (It's not Battlefield Vietnam which was released back in 2004) road to release hasn't actually been smooth, nor typical of an EA product. And to be honest, I didn't expected going in that playing Battlefield V's multiplayer would feel so much amazing and satisfying as Battlefield V doesn’t feel like a complete experience at the launch. Battlefield V creates the impression that there's a sizeable number of modes and significant bug fixes still to be delivered. In this article, you're gonna hear from us about the Battlefield V Review. 


Quick Facts:

• Initial release date: 15 November 2018
• First released: 20 November 2018
• Engine: Frostbite
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

Straight away, it worth focusing on that while Battlefield V is set during WWII, it doesn't feel outdated. Mechanically speaking, it's the absolute best-feeling Battlefield in quite a while. These short stories plan to tell the stories behind the soldiers that battled in the two world wars, with Battlefield V's selection highlighting some of the more dark records of World War 2. The three being referred to bring a profound jump into the British Special Boat Section, the Norwegian resistance during the German occupation, and the efforts of black West African soldiers in their offer to overthrow the Nazi reign in France. Additionally: for better and for more worse, the game doesn't retread familiar. ground. It spins around the period's lesser-known stories and settings, which can be at the same time reviving and a bit of disappointing, particularly for 1942 fans.

Over the majority of its current multiplayer modes, Battlefield V's default mechanics step toward the hardcore. Health recovery is limited, The time to execute is reduced, and the spotting system is almost entirely removed. And keeping in mind that a portion of these changes feel like a Band-Aid being ripped off, Battlefield V is a superior shooter as a result of them. All things considered, the revisions are more thoughtful than essentially adopting the majority of the hardcore rules. And, in lieu of the whole removal of 3D spotting, just a bunch of gadgets and certain battle characteristics would now be able to put that infamous red circle over enemies heads. This change will help you remain connected with Battlefield V's stunning surroundings instead of playing the HUD. In nutshell, these changes aim to underscore teamplay, fulfilling gunplay, and immersion and every one of them find their marks.

Here's an amazing gameplay by TheRadBrad.





Also Read: Overkill's The Walking Dead - Review 

Most important of all, the gun handling is fluid. Combat feels misleadingly easy, yet it's sufficiently layered to liberally reward skillful play, thoughtful strategies, or more all, teamwork. The maps are generally magnificent and advance shifted playstyles, from the flowing fields of Arras - a moment classic - to the omnipresent, all-knowing bridge of Twisted Steel. Wonderfully, every character class is impactful and enjoyable.

The incentives for coordinating with your four-person squad are borderline coercive. Lost health no longer again recovers past a specific point without a medkit, and ammo reserves are less abundant - most weapons are sustained by just two additional magazines to begin, making a Support partner an exceptionally welcome ally.

But there are many flaws which can't be neglected and need to be fixed as soon as possible like, at launch, Battlefield V was suffering from an unusually high amount of bugs and glitches which can possibly ruin a match. We've read reports of much further issues, but we ourselves have suffered with animation glitches that make pointing from turrets an impossibility, and the act of your weapon isolating from your character meaning you can't aim properly because the butt of your rifle is in your face as opposed to the iron sights. In addition, geometry in some cases neglects to stack in, leaving a church's bell tower suspended in mid-air, while trees and rocks don't show up properly, making them look like pixelated messes. The wonderful finish, however, was the point at which the 'Return to combat area' warning inaccurately showed up on our screen, which means we were killed following eight seconds for absolutely no reason. All of these issues is in all likelihood a basic fix via a patch, but they start to add up after occurring consecutively match after match to make an experience that you can't completely depend on to be reasonable nor stable.

An amazing video showing some funny glitches in Battlefield V by IGN.

Battlefield V: Maps And Modes

Battlefield V offers eight maps at launch, and I felt all the maps to be quite enjoyable. Fjell 652 happens on a high-altitude Norwegian mountain overlooking the total of the Norvik map and is liable to exceptional and atmospheric snowstorms. Twisted Steel is built around a huge bridge that serves in as both a fabulous milestone and a functional mechanism to add a straight path to the map's familiar open environment speckled with rural villages.

And coming to modes, Shorter game modes, for example, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Frontlines make up the numbers to give a multiplayer experience that will feel exceptionally familiar to returning players. Instead of update any of its online mechanics, Battlefield V refines and makes minor enhancements to the chaotic and tremendous battlegrounds it is known for. Despite everything you'll have those great Battlefield moments as you hold out against axis forces while your ticket counter drops to an alarming number, explode a rooftop to cut the rubble down onto your opponents, or you swoop in from the air and take out a target from a plane's gunner seat. There's no enormous disclosure to reveal, rather a stunningly better Battlefield experience to find.

Battlefield V: Company Coins?

Perhaps Battlefield V's greatest takeoff from what it's known for comes as its customization and cosmetic capabilities. Your Company enables you to kit out the four classes of assault, medic, support, and recon to your correct taste, with class particular weapons for each and a preposterous measure of customization to whack to finish everything. Specializations enable you to affect the stats of a weapon, choosing four of eight unique upgrades to better your odds of survival. And in addition that, you can give it an extension and add decals in five distinct territories, and after that, each weapon has its very own level progression to work through. And afterward, there's your soldier themselves, who can be kitted out with various headgear, outfits, and face paint to truly make them look like it. It's an astronomical measure of customisation, and it's everything fuelled by the in-game currency named Company Coins. 


Earned by leveling up and finishing day by day orders, the money can be spent on cosmetic items for either your solider or skins for your weapons. This extends the visual abilities beyond basic unlocks via progression and enables you to pick what you need when you need it. There is no real way to buy Company Coins by means of microtransactions, however, EA has expressed that a different paid currency will be introduced at a later date.

The Verdict:

Battlefield V is going to be an extraordinary game, of that we're certain, but because of various glaring omissions at launch and one an excessive number of glitches, the final product isn't there just yet. The good news is that fixes are already taking off, and with a year or a greater amount of free maps and modes on the way, Battlefield V can just show signs of improvement from here.

Overkill's The Walking Dead - Review

Overkill's The Walking Dead is a sincere endeavor to convey a helpful adventure set in the notable Walking Dead universe, yet that effort feels somewhat like it's very little past the point of no return, as Overkill's The Walking Dead frequently doesn't feel like a shooter by any stretch of the imagination. It takes the rules built up by Robert Kirkman's comic series and its consequent TV adaption to heart in the wrong ways, forcing uneven decides on its missions that intensely restrict how you're able to play. Combined with a confounding combination of survival mechanics covered in unintuitive menus, useless customization choices, and non-existent incentives to enhance your gear, The Walking Dead feels foul and unfocused. 


Quick Facts:

• Initial release date: 6 November 2018
• Engine: Unreal Engine
• Developer: Overkill Software
• Genre: First-person shooter
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

 Overkill's The Walking Dead is a game about apparently thoughtless butcher with not very many plot strings drawing an obvious conclusion. There is no drama, there are no characters created crosswise over missions, and there is no nuance to for what reason you're killing people as promptly as you do the walkers. It has next to no to do with what makes The Walking Dead so incredible.

Overkill's the walking dead: Gameplay

The biggest enemy in The Walking Dead—besides, you know, the walking dead—is noise. Nothing floods the roads with zombies quicker than a noisy blast or a jukebox firing up a Queen track. most of the missions in The Walking Dead is a stealth mission. Basically, this makes the game fundamentally the same as Overkill's past co-op shooters, Payday and Payday 2. In those games, heists start out calmly until the point that an alarm gets activated and the best way to get out alive is to go loud.

Missions are diluted into more stealthy issues therefore, which can be somewhat engaging when you're working closely with teammates. As a major aspect of an efficient group you can keep noise to a minimum and dodge enemies completely, yet it generally just takes one player not sticking to the script to ruin a run. making the situation worse, there's no help for voice chat in-game nor some other approaches to communicate besides text talk, which is a huge bummer.

Check out this amazing gameplay from Polygon

Killing a couple of scattered zombies with baseball bats and blades is simple enough, however, in the end, somebody will make a noise calling for backup. Regardless of whether it's a gunshot, a blast, or a car alarm. If your group is messy, in the end the group will get too thick to battle at all, and the only wise thing left to do is run.

Even though fighting zombies is pretty simple, but you don't wanna get too close to them as they will grab you and will drain your health to a good amount as it takes some time to shove them off.

It's too awful that slaughtering zombies with melee weapons is so essential, though, because these weapons aren't much fun to use. There are machetes, baseball bats, and pickaxes, but they all feel clunky, and pretty much the same. And also fighting off thick crowds of zombies, again and again, becomes boring, but what satisfies me the most is the wooden tunk sound I get from smacking a zombie right in the skull.

Overkill's The Walking Dead: Characters

In Overkill's The Walking Dead, you take control of one of four new characters, each with their own uninvolved weapon specializations and one of a kind aptitudes. For instance, Maya is the medic and her unique ability is tossing down a med bag that can heal up anybody in your group. Aiden, on the other hand, gets streak blasts that can daze human enemies and distract zombie crowds.

Each character is fun in their own particular manner and, in spite of their strengths, anybody can utilize any weapon you discover, giving them a helpful adaptability. The distinction, however, is that they won't have the capacity to apply any of their skill upgrades or passive rewards to upgrade a weapon outside their wheelhouse.

But beyond that, the difference between the characters are for the most part detail driven other than a solitary unique skill. 





From its restrictive mission structures, unbalanced difficulty and baffling methods of progression, The Walking Dead struggles to justify the time it requires from you. It's a collection gameplay diagrams stacked upon each other without insightful thought on how they may durably cooperate, wrapped with a dull presentation and ordinary combat that once in a while energizes. The Walking Dead is a wreck of scattered thoughts and an absence of direction, and there's no reason to make sense of it all.

The Verdict:

It's fun when you cooperate with friends and escape the horde of zombies by sneaky ways. But, it's all wrapped with a package of various disappointments: Technical issues, unavoidable repetition, and dull shooting experience.
