Japan decides: the 10 most anticipated games of 2020 and beyond

The Square Enix title remains the leader and is already the most desired title of the year according to the readers of Famitsu magazine. This is the Top-10.

The latest issue of the weekly magazine Famitsu has included its corresponding ranking of the most desired video games by readers in Japan. In this case, the survey computes in the week of November 7 to November 13 and includes video games that will be launched in 2020 or in the next times except Project Sakura Wars.

These Famitsu surveys, like any other survey, take a sample that does not represent the entire population of videogame buyers in Japan; But it has been an approximate mirror for many years of what can happen at the sales level once each title is put up for sale. This time there are no surprises: Final Fantasy VII Remake is the most anticipated game.

The sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Bayonetta 3 don't forget

We already know its release date, March 3, 2020, and will do so exclusively for PlayStation 4. Square Enix's work has been in the top-5 for years; Now, however, there are few titles capable of subtracting votes for this long-awaited return of Cloud and company. One of them is Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch, this one for March 20, 2020.

The only title in the ranking that will be launched this year 2019 is Project Sakura Wars, a marvel in sales in those lands. The new installment of the series, planned for PlayStation 4 from SEGA, is in second place with a very high sales projection. We remind you that the game will arrive in Europe in 2020 with texts in Spanish.

Others close on the calendar consolidated in the top-10 most anticipated games are Tales of Arise, Nioh 2, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon and Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. For its part, works such as Bayonetta 3 and the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have about 300 votes each despite not even having a launch window, only platform, Ninteno Switch.
