5 Games We’re Looking Forward to in August

The summer gaming lull is finally coming to a close next month, with a number of quality games coming to all major platforms. On that note, here are 5 games we’re looking forward to in August. Oh, and we won’t make you click through five pages to look at the entire list.

5 Games We’re Looking Forward to in August

Based on Bill Finger and Bob Kane’s Batman comic book series, Batman: The Telltale Series has players controlling both Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne. The game has a similar branching storytelling method as the studio’s other games, along with a number of investigative segments. We’re looking forward to exploring this original tale, which is not based on any comic, show, or film.

The first episode of Batman: The Telltale series will come out on all major platforms on August 2, 2016.

Itching for a fight? SNK and Atlus’ The King of Fighters XIV is here for you. Packing 48 characters (not including sub- and final bosses), players choose teams of three to duke it out with one another. We’re looking forward to diving into the complex mechanics the series is known for.

The King of Fighters XIV will come out for the PlayStation 4 on August 23, 2016.

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft continues to remain strong as the sixth expansion is set to come out in August. Legion allows players to level up to 110 in the Broken Isles, and also brings with it new changes to the PvP system. We’re looking forward to experiencing the changes made to the existing classes, as well as diving into the latest lore.

World of Warcraft: Legion will come out for the PC on August 30, 2016.

Set two years after Deus: Ex Human Revolution, Square-Enix’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided marks the return of the augmented hero Adam Jensen. Players can approach situations in a number of different ways, either sneaking their way through or engaging in combat. We’re looking forward to diving into its unique cyberpunk world.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on August 23, 2016.

Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky prides itself on giving complete control to the players. Built on the four pillars of exploration, survival, combat and trading, players can free explore a procedurally generated deterministic open universe with almost unlimited possibilities. We’re looking forward to exploring the game’s universe, which is bound to have some serious legs.

No Man’s Sky will come out for the PlayStation 4 and PC on August 9, 2016.

What we at Gamers Heroes are looking forward to the most:

All of the games this month are pretty solid, but we are looking forward to No Man’s Sky the most. It’s survival elements, along with its near-limitless world, could very well make it the next Minecraft.
