Release dates: every video game confirmed for 2020

3.5
Just looking at the sheer number of big, highly-anticipated games coming in 2020, there’s very little chance the year will disappoint.

2020 has kicked off, and as we do every year, we’re bringing you a round-up of all the video game release dates in one place. So many games originally shooting for 2019 got pushed back to the new year, to say nothing of the many other heavy-hitters aiming for launch in 2020.

The year will hopefully be one to remember, though we do hope the real world doesn’t screw things up too much.

June

The long-awaited Command & Conquer remaster kicks June off, before the illusive The Last of Us Part 2 – arguably June’s biggest game – finally arrives later in the month. No Straight Roads, Desperados 3 and the Switch port of The Outer Worlds will all be doing the business in June.
