Release Date Overview - January
January 3, 2008 1:24 am Recurring The year 2007 was one filled with an abundance of amazing PC games, but contrary to what you might expect after such a great year: 2008 doesn’t look to stop that trend. So while right now you might still be plowing your way through great titles like Crysis, The Witcher or Unreal Tournament 3 - game developers are already working on a new batch of stellar games. So start saving up boys and girls, you’ll need that cash soon enough!What follows below is a list of many PC games scheduled to hit stores worldwide in the coming year. Some games might not be included due to an unclear release date (Duke Nukem Forever, although Forever seems like it might be an indication of the development time) or no official announcement of the name of a particular project (GarageGames new Tribes-like shooter set for late 2008). Furthermore all release dates are for the European market wherever possible, which means they may not coincide with the release dates for other territories.
More importantly these release dates are likely to be subject to change from the very moment they’re posted. As any gamer will know; developers and publishers don’t always stick to their estimated release dates. Additionally some of these release dates are not official, but rather educated guesses. Fortunately I post a new release date overview every month, so you’re always up to date with the latest release dates. And if your game is lacking, all you need to do is sneak in a mail and I’ll try to fit it in there next month! Now, enjoy!

Happy 2008 Droniac!
Oh, and was that a Deus EX 3 I saw there?

Happy New Year gnome!
Yes, that’s a Deus Ex 3! Apparently Eidos Montreal is working on it, but development will take until late 2009 at least.
As far as I know none of the original project leads are working on it. So whether it’ll be as good as Deus Ex, or as bad as Deus Ex 2, remains to be seen. Fortunately it does appear to be PC-exclusive title, at least for now, so the console influences that plagued the sequel should be minimal.
