Dragon Age 4
This mysterious game leaves almost everything to the imagination at the moment. With very little known about the game or the release date, the developers are keeping many on the edge of their seats as they wait in anticipation for the next game in the Dragon Age series. There’s no doubt about it that this game has had its hiccups along the way as the developers failed with the past creation known as Anthem.

Rumoured to be available for both PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, we’re looking forward to testing them out and having a fair comparison.
Fable
No one expected a game from Microsoft in the new year but the announcement of the latest addition to the Fable series is a pleasant one. After taking the reins of the IP, Microsoft have decided to release a new game with very little information available to the public. This open-world RPG will be designed by Playgrounds Games which will hopefully bring them all the success they need after a long period of dormancy. Bring on 2021!
This game will only be available to Xbox owners due to the fact that Xbox Game Studios are the ones in charge.
