It is 2021, I will spare you from starting the article with the usual ritual phrase about how hard the past year was due to a certain virus which I will not mention. Rather, I ask the question that many of you have already asked (consciously or not): now that Cyberpunk 2077 is out, what awaits us in the future?
In this article we propose a list of all the titles that are expected to be released in 2021 and that we believe are worth keeping an eye on, organized by month of release and with a brief description. Those currently without a release date or month will eventually be listed in a separate category (spoiler: that's a lot).

Select the Date: 18 March
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
The first and foremost feature of any remake is that it looks modern compared to the original work, a concept Ubisoft clearly didn't understand (the announcement trailer was awful, and I'm taking it slow). Nonetheless, we can only be curious to see how it will turn out, and hope for the best.

One of the many victims of the 2020 effect, which caused the game to be postponed to a later date.

If you want to nitpick, the most interesting thing about the game is the presence of the actor Giancarlo Esposito as the antagonist.
Hogwarts legacy
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series
