3.Hitman
Platforms: PC,
Xbox One, PS4
Release Date: March 11, 2016
MSRP: $15.99 (intro), $59.99 (full game)
Hitman goes back to its roots in this installment, as a bald man in a suit, killing his target with his guns, or whatever weapon is in the area. The Hitman games feature highly detailed environments, filled with deadly hazards and traps that seem innocuous at first glance. A stylized glass chandelier over a fashion runway may not be dangerous at first, but some clever tampering and good timing can transform it into the perfect tool for the job. Hitman will be released episodically; the first episode hits shelves this month.

7.Black Desert Online
Platforms: PC
Release Date: March 3, 2016 (NA, PAL)
MSRP: $29.99
This anticipated MMORPG received plenty of attention thanks to its absurdly detailed character creation system, but Black Desert has much more to offer than that. Set in a high-fantasy world of swords and sorcery, players are thrust into a conflict between two major nations. Combat is action-oriented, and a parkour system lets gamers explore cities and wilds in a way few MMOs allow. Dynamic day/night cycles and ever-changing weather keep the world fresh and varied.
