The most talked about releases are Grand Theft Auto VI. Set in the fictional Florida-inspired themes, the game follows crime partners Lucia and Jason, promising players a sharp satire of modern America. Anticipation is sky high ahead of its scheduled November release.
Another most anticipated is 007 First Light, developed by IO Interactive. As the name suggests, the story revolves around James Bond.
