• The Most Exciting PC Games Coming In 2021

2020 has been a tough year for gaming – with many game studios switching to remote work, release schedules have slowed down, even to a standstill, in some cases. Even so, the game has thrived, providing much-needed solace to many uncomfortable with the year of heartbreak many of us have been through. Do not be afraid! 2021 is finally here, which means a fresh start and new PC games to see you through a hopefully much better year.

1. Elden's Ring

Elden Ring is one of the most anticipated PC games on this list, if not the most anticipated. An action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, it promises to be a mind-blowing collaboration between Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice and Fire writer George RR Martin. Elden Ring will be available on all platforms and will be released sometime in 2021. With such big and respected names behind it, we expect it to be close to perfect.

2. New world

Also highly anticipated, New World is an impressive fantasy MMO developed and published by Amazon Games. New World is a huge opportunity for Amazon Game Studios to redeem itself after its two failed titles Breakaway and Crucible left people wondering if Amazon should have entered the video game market in the first place. The MMORPG has elements of crafting, survival, as well as the usual quests, sieges, and PVP gameplay to expect. Scheduled for release on May 25, 2021, New World is now available for pre-order via Steam or Amazon.

4. Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert is a fantasy action MMO set to release in winter 2021, and it looks like it's going to be a visually stunning affair. It is the latest game from the developers of Black Desert Online Pearl Abyss, and it remains to be seen what will set it apart from other similarly styled MMOs like Black Desert Online. A big concern is how demanding Crimson Desert will be on people's platforms, given its cutting-edge graphics. There is concern that you need a powerful gaming PC to play games at a constant high frame rate. Pearl Abyss is still working on the title, so expect to see and learn more until its winter release.

Grinding Gear Games is back with another installment of its ever-popular free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile. Path of Exile 2 has a seven-act story, an improvement over the three acts of its predecessor, whose story picks up 20 years later. The skill system is undergoing a complete overhaul, with 19 new Ancestry to look forward to. If you unlocked any of the 19 from the previous game, you'll still have access to them in PoE 2.

7. Back4Blood

The spiritual successor to the much-loved Left4Dead franchise, Back4Blood is a cooperative first-person shooter brought to you by Warner Bros. Studios and developed by Turtle Rock Studios, who are part of the team that brought us previous Left4Dead titles. If you like Left4Dead, you don't need our recommendation to get excited about Back4Blood, as it features the same zombie-slaying action its predecessors are known and loved for. The cooperative story mode is still there, as well as the competitive multiplayer mode, and the visuals are impressive too! Back4Blood will be available on Steam on June 22, 2021.

8. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Fatshark is back with another title to add to its already impressive list of Warhammer games. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is, like its developers' award-winning Vermintide franchise, a 4-player cooperative first-person shooter. It's loyal to Warhammer in every way, capturing the gothic atmosphere of the universe, but really pushes the envelope with its dark horror themes. Visually, the game looks amazing and promises to be a great upgrade from the previous Vermintide titles. Darktide is available on Steam and while you can't pre-order it yet, you can add it to your Steam wishlist. It should be released in 2021.
