The best new games of 2021 (out now and coming soon)


Gaming, along with Amazon and whoever makes hand soap, was one of the few industries to emerge relatively unscathed from 2020; in fact, things appear to be looking up, with two gleaming new consoles and a virtually captive audience. We have yet to see what the PlayStation 5 and new Xboxes are capable of, which makes this year extra exciting.


This is our list of the best games released so far in 2021, as well as the ones to look forward to in the coming months. Some of these titles will eventually be delayed beyond 2021, but we'll keep this list up to date with the latest updates and releases.

Hitman 3

An amoral assassin with a gleaming head? Check it out. A plethora of ever-more-improbable disguises? Check it out. There seem to be no limits to how you can kill your targets? Check it out. Agent 47, gaming's most professional assassin, is back for another innovative bloodbath across sprawling sandbox maps. This time, there are only six of them, but the quality has been prioritized over quantity: parachute into Dubai's tallest building or stealth through a Berlin nightclub. Whether you went in guns blazing, accomplished silent killer, or failed the mission by hurling a saber in the wrong person's head, Hitman remains a wonderful watercooler game.

Release Date: January 20

Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

It Takes Two

Hazelight Studios, a Swedish studio known for making cooperative games, is back with a new one called It Takes Two, which is entirely co-op. The art style is reminiscent of Pixar: a couple is transformed into dolls and must race through wacky levels together in order to escape, a metaphor for enhancing their ailing relationship. With the companions sliding down icy slides and avoiding giant Venus fly traps, the gameplay appears to be rapid, enjoyable, and diverse. It appears to be a cross between Fall Guys and 3D Sonic, and it should bring some joy to these dark times.

Release Date: March 26

Platforms: PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One

Monster Hunter Rise

The Monster Hunter series had been a hit in Japan for years, but it shot to international fame with the release of Monster Hunter World in 2017, which went on to become Capcom's best-selling game of all time. On a sprawling fantasy island, you chase monsters, find better gear, and then hunt harder monsters. Let's see if they can get the winning formula to Switch. Thankfully, the graphics are fantastic.

Release Date: March 26

Platforms: Nintendo Switch

Resident Evil 8: Village

The initial E3 trailer for Resident Evil 8 hinted at a major shift in the series' direction, with supernatural forces like werewolves. In the most recent trailer, the player is attacked by a slew of Zombie-like enemies. The game's principal antagonist appears to be a witch. Will there be more harrowing chases like those seen in the recent remasters with Mr. X and Nemesis? We can only hope for the best.

Release Date: May 7

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, PC

Deathloop

Arkane Studios, the developers of the underappreciated steampunk game Dishonoured, have returned with a new world. Deathloop looks fantastic, especially when compared to the plethora of sci-fi-themed games that are currently available. With two immortal killers locked in lethal acrobatic combat, the trailer looks like a 1970s blaxploitation film. If we're imprisoned again next summer, Deathloop might be the book to help us get through it.

Release Date: May 21

Platforms: PlayStation 5 and PC

Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart

The Playstation Classic is back, and it looks incredible – a true next-gen title built from the ground up to compete with Bluepoint's Demon's Souls Remake. The game is reminiscent of Rick and Morty, in which a cutesy duo leaps through vast rifts in space and time into vibrant worlds teeming with alien life. Insomniac Games had been a little evasive about release dates (which was expected last year), but we now have a date in June.

Release Date: June 11

Platforms: PlayStation 5 In addition to these games above, you can try these best steam games for 2021.
