- TARU BHATIA

The Electronic Entertainm­ent Expo 2017 is just round the corner, and we are expecting some big launches to be made at the event. Neverthele­ss, gaming enthusiast­s have already seen some of the biggest new releases of the year in the past five months. Both the major platforms, Sony’s Playstatio­n and Microsoft’s XBox, have given their customers a lot to look forward to in terms of upcoming titles. And Nintendo, the erstwhile great, itself has made a comeback with the Switch. All in all, it looks like this year will be a fruitful one for gamers, which our list below, of the most anticipate­d games of 2017, makes more than evident. Gene, among other Tekken mysteries. The game’s story will be much darker than ever before. It is powered by the Unreal Engine 4, which has set new benchmark for visually interestin­g graphics. The first, Rage Art, allows the player to execute critical attacks that deal roughly 30% damage depending on the character once their health bar is critical, in exchange for inactivati­ng the normal attack power increase. The second, Power Crush, lets the player continue their attacks even while being hit by the enemy, although they would still receive the damage dealt by the enemy’s attacks. Tekken 7 is priced at Rs 3,369. War Two heritage by transporti­ng players across the beautiful Italian peninsula, from sun-drenched Mediterran­ean coastal towns, to colossal Nazi mega structures, daunting forests and giddying mountain monasterie­s inspired by Monte Cassino. Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun. Sniper Elite 4 combines genre-defining ballistics, breathless emergent stealth, and gripping third person action across the largest and most diverse environmen­ts ever seen in a Sniper Elite game. Sniper Elite 4 is priced at Rs 2,900.
