The 10 most anticipated games of autumn 2021
Coronavirus has made its own adjustments to the schedule, but autumn will still be hot for releases.
The year 2021 is not so rich in releases, and the pandemic is primarily to blame for this. I think that everyone has already missed the big blockbusters? So, you obviously shouldn't worry: despite the fact that many games have been postponed to 2022, you will have something to play this fall. Regardless of whether you prefer to play games on consoles or PCs, you will definitely be able to find something that will delight you until the end of the year. We have collected all the most powerful games that will be released after a rather empty summer.
Deathloop
Genre: action-adventure
Release date: September 14, 2021
Platforms: PC/PS5 (temporary exclusive)
Opens the top shooter from the authors of Dishonored. What could be worse than being stuck in a time loop on an island whose inhabitants have to relive the same day endlessly? In the role of Colt's hired killer, you have to break the time loop, and for this you need to kill eight seers responsible for its creation. On the one hand, everything is simple. You are dropped off in different corners of the map and set the task — to get to the targets and destroy them in different ways. And then the second player comes into play — Julianna, who has her own set of unique abilities. If you hunt the seers, she will hunt you. And both artificial intelligence and other users will be able to play her role.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Genre: action-adventure
Release date: September 21, 2021
Platforms: PC / PS4 / PS5
The pandemic has affected many long-term construction projects, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits is no exception. The fantasy action adventure was supposed to be released before the end of 2020, but due to the effects of the coronavirus, the game will be released only in September. We have to try on the role of a young counselor Kena and go in search of a sacred mountain sanctuary in an abandoned village that is inhabited by spirits. A big team is not working on the game and it does not have a big budget, but Sony liked it. The players were also delighted, praising the design and visual of the future title. The main thing is that the gameplay does not disappoint now.
Far Cry 6
Genre: First person shooter
Release date: October 7, 2021
Platforms: PC / PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series
The release of Far Cry 6 was postponed as many as three times. First, the game was supposed to appear in February of this year, then in April, and then in May. I think that it will not come to the fourth delay. And what's the point of that? This time should have been enough to properly polish and refine the game world. And its scale is really impressive.
How to sell a small idea to a big business
According to the authors, Far Cry 6 will have the largest map in the history of the series and the largest selection of weapons. "It was important for us to fill this world with content so that it would not feel empty and meaningless. So different types of activities, missions and mini-games - all this will be present in the game. For example, it will be possible to play dominoes in guerrilla camps," the developers say. Also, 49 types of firearms will be delivered to Far Cry 6, which can be customized and assembled as your heart desires. Put sights, silencers, turn one weapon into another, assemble a machine gun from a lawn mower or create completely insane copies. For example, a macarenamet shooting at enemies with CDs under the legendary Macarena track. The main thing is that the sixth part does not turn out to be a Cuban copy of Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5.
Battlefield 2042
Genre: First person shooter
Release date: November 19, 2021
Platforms: PC / PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series
Two and a half years have passed since the release of Battlefield 5. I don't know about you, but I've already missed the new grandiose online battles, explosions and destruction. And although there won't be a full-fledged story campaign in Battlefield 2042, you're unlikely to be upset. Because there will be so much content in the new "battle" that you simply would not have enough time to complete the campaign.
Firstly, now 128 players will be able to converge on one map at the same time. And to add realism to the battles, the authors screwed dynamically changing weather conditions. During the match, a part of the map will be able to hide an unexpected sandstorm or a sudden tornado.
Will the release of the new Battlefield 2042 be a triumph of Electronic Arts or the greatest lie?
Seven maps will be available on the release. Just imagine, the size of the largest map in Battlefield 2042 will be 5.9 square kilometers. This is comparable to the size of Vikendi from PUBG. And each weapon can be modified right in the middle of the battle, as in Crysis. For example, to change a long barrel to a short one, to install a collimator sight or to change the type of ammunition - in a matter of seconds.
And if you liked the old maps from the previous parts, then you can run on them already in Battlefield 2042 in a separate mode called "Portal". And not just to run, but also to set up the entourage and battle conditions yourself. I would call it a sandbox. Do you want tanks and planes of the Second World War and infantry of the future to converge on the same field? You are welcome!
You can talk endlessly about Battlefield 2042. I also kept silent about the Hazard Zone mode, which will combine elements of Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown. And if this content is not enough for you, then the authors have promised to support their project for several years. It will appear in seasons, three months each.
Call of Duty: Vanguard
Genre: First person shooter
Release date: November 5, 2021
Platforms: PC / PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series

If Battlefield goes into the setting of the near future, then its permanent rival, on the contrary, returns to the world of World War II. The game will have a full-fledged story campaign, and this is a big plus, considering that there will be no such campaign at all in Battlefield 2042. Players will be able to participate in full-scale military operations that will unfold in North Africa, on the Eastern and Western fronts, as well as in the Pacific Ocean. Gamers will have to try on the role of a sniper girl from the USSR Polina Petrova, Lieutenant Lucas Riggs, British Sergeant Arthur Kingsley and Captain Wade Jackson. Each of the characters has a real prototype and unique abilities.
What is known about Call of Duty: Vanguard - Stalingrad before the war, destructibility and the rear of Berlin
Players complain about pipelining and self-replays. That, they say, nothing has changed globally in this series for a long time. But if you look at sales, I wouldn't take these words seriously. In the end, there are not so many dynamic online shooters in this setting to become a bore.
Forza Horizon 5
Genre: Racing simulator
Release date: November 9, 2021
Platforms: PC / Xbox One / Xbox Series

The genre of racing simulators is in a state of slight stagnation. If there are good games, then, as a rule, these are continuations of already proven series. Forza Horizon is one of them, and a new adventure awaits us in November. This time we will travel through Mexican cities, deserts, jungles, beaches and canyons. We will even be able to ride along volcanoes and feel dust storms and tropical storms on our hull. If you thought the world of Forza Horizon 4 was huge, then the map of Mexico will be even bigger. Twice, to be exact.
If it was raining in the fourth part, then it was raining not in one place, but all over the country. In the fifth part, everything will be different. If snow has started on the top of the volcano, then it can be hot on the coast at this time. Otherwise, it will be the same Forza with excellent world detail and amazing drawing of cars. You will be able to customize literally everything — your own modes and cars, as well as create drivers with prosthetic legs. And all this splendor will be seasoned with a hundred of the greatest cars - from the Chevrolet Camaro to the Porsche 911 Carrera S.
Dying Light 2
Genre: survival horror / action RPG
Release date: February 4, 2022
Platforms: PC / PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series
Dying Light 2 was announced back in June 2018, but only recently got a release date. It is known that the game will be released on December 7, and the action of the second part will unfold 20 years after the original. This is a tooth-crushing zombie action game with a branched narrative, cool parkour and sophisticated action. As before, we are expected to encounter both living people and disgusting zombies. The number of animations of jumps and somersaults will double, there will be a lot of tasks and various activities. No romance and calm gameplay - Dying Light 2 is clearly not about that. And yes, be prepared for severed limbs and excessive cruelty.

Halo Infinite
Genre: First person shooter
Release date: December 8, 2021
Platforms: PC / Xbox One / Xbox Series
[Update from August 30] The game received a release date after the publication of the article. The shooter will be released after the first winter week, but this is not such a big gap to remove it from the text.
[Original text] Another good reason to take a closer look at the Xbox Series X/S if there is no powerful computer at hand. Initially, the game was supposed to be released in the fall of 2020 at the same time as the launch of new Xbox consoles, but something went wrong. The reason for the transfer was the uncertainty that occurred inside Microsoft. Marketing ran ahead of the locomotive, while programmers asked not to rush with the release of new materials.
