The recent airing of The Game Awards showed us some big games that are coming out in 2020, so we can make our own predictions about what the most anticipated games of 2020 will be with a little more precision.

It’s tantalizing to think about great games that are coming, and that’s why I make it a habit of doing this list each year. But some of the games are coming in 2020 because they slipped. In that category, we’ll include The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Doom Eternal. But we’ve also got some games that only recently came to light, such as Valve’s Half-Life: Alyx. And we have some games where we have to totally guess if they’re really going to happen at all.
