The Tokyo Game Show is one of the great video game events of the year, so it is not surprising that many gamers worldwide have been following the goings-on at the Makuhari Messe convention centre in Tokyo. This is because some of the top games of the moment were previewed in a show that hit record attendance levels.
Video game fans got to take a sneak peek at upcoming games like Ubisoft’s For Honor and the eagerly awaited Final Fantasy XV, getting to see some of the most eagerly anticipated games of the year in action. Here follows a list of the top 5 video games previewed at the 2016 Tokyo Game Show.
1. For Honor
Ubisoft fans were disappointed by the lack of a major Assassin’s Creed game this year, but it seems the French company is looking to make up for it with the release of For Honor. This game focuses on melee combat and sword duelling, and will feature three playable factions: the Vikings, the Knights and the Samurai. Each have their own character subclasses, which play differently and have specific moves and bonuses in combat.
The Tokyo Game Show trailer below focuses on the Samurai, who are fearsome in combat and deadly with their katanas. As we’ve seen in earlier trailers, moves such as beheading opponents are possible in Ubisoft’s game… Another novelty is that For Honor’s campaign can be played cooperatively in split-screen mode, plus this will feature large battles, epic boss fights and fortress assaults according to Ubisoft. And this could end up being one of the year’s most interesting releases when it comes out in early 2017, no doubt.
