5 Exciting Xbox One Games Still Coming 2015

2015 has brought with it a pretty steady stream of Xbox One games from all kinds of game makers. Massive Chalice and State of Decay arrived for players who need something less than the average spring blockbuster game through Microsoft’s ID@Xbox program. Ori and The Blind Forrest captured imaginations with great story telling and stunning visuals, despite being another platformer like dozens of small games before it. Big studios delivered Evolve, Battlefield Hardline and Batman: Arkham Knight.

With the amount of releases we’ve already seen this year, you’d think that new Xbox One games would be slim for the rest of the year. Fortunately, there isn’t some huge shortage of Xbox One games coming in 2015. Microsoft has a huge slate of titles of it’s own debuting exclusively for the Xbox One. Those titles will act as a hook, a convincer being released so that users chose an Xbox One console instead of a PS4 to put in their living room. Then there are the Xbox One games coming from third-party developers with huge budgets. Strictly speaking, these titles are meant to sell well on their own and don’t have to prop-up a video game console release. That being said, Microsoft hasn’t been shy about patterning with third-party developers to bundle these games with Xbox One consoles too.

5 Exciting Xbox One Games Still Coming 2015 – Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars Battlefront came out of nowhere to become of this fall’s most anticipated release. In fact, it’s safe to say that it may be just as important to the fall gaming season as Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. You see, Star Wars Battlefront is a sandbox war game. What’s more the game is set in the massively popular Star Wars universe. In videos we’ve seen so far, players start out as simple warriors fighting on the side of the Galactic Empire or The Rebel Alliance. Players will get 12 different environments to battle in and up to 40 different people can compete in a single match.

The AT-AT walker, X-Wings, Y-Wings and pretty much any other machine that you may have seen in the Star Wars movie series are featured in Star Wars Battlefront. So are all important characters like Fett bounty hunter and Darth Vader.
