Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is meanwhile the overall sixth part of the worldwide popular action adventure game, even though having the number 4 in its name. In the successor, one assumes the role of the assassin Edward Kenway, who emerges rather as a pirate. Edward is additionally the father of Haytham Kenway, who we have accompanied during the adventure in Assassin's Creed 3. The scenario is set in the Caribbean - thus we have the pleasure of following our new hero through Cuba, Jamaica, the Bahamas and many other islands as well as villages. Actually, Edward is not an assassin - he becomes it during the course of the game. At the beginning, he is only a pirate and buccaneer, who becomes an assassin by working together with assassins.








5. Thief

Platforms: PC, PS3, Next-Gen
Booth: Square Enix, Hall 9.1


The Canadian development studio Eidos Montreal works on the fourth title and simultaneously on the reboot of the likewise named Stealth series.
Once more, the master thief Garret - and with him that mid medieval metropolis, which bears the plain name "The City" - are to the fore.
Antagonist in the upcoming part of the game series is not only the people oppressing despot Northcrest, but also a natural threat - the plague. Starting February 28 2013, according to the official date of release, one will be able to sneak through tight allies and to go buccaneering, although the hardened fronts between the nation and the baron pose a threat to you. "Thief" is without doubt a potential top hit of the upcoming year and will be in competition with other popular titles from this genre.










Developer and publisher Ubisoft brings out a breathtaking action-steal top class title with Watch Dogs. The game - which focuses mainly on the abilities of the player, how well he/she can break into digital infrastructures in order to destroy them or to steal data - has been initially revealed during an official press conference at last year's E3. In the open game world, you have to manage courses, to accomplish operations incognito and to take advantage of the whole environment. The eagerly-awaited title is said to be released on 22nd November in Europe, the Playstation 4 and Xbox One version will be available towards the end of the fourth quarter for all the thrilled people.










7. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U
Booth: Ubisoft, Hall 6.1


Several countries are threatening the USA with an attack in Ubisoft's most recent stealth action game "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" under the motto "Together we are strong!" At that provocation, the US-President conscripts a new special force called "4th Echelon" under command of Sam Fisher. With help of his new team, new gadgets and also weapons you embark on a journey around the world. It's up to you, whether you prefer to sneak or to make use of Rambo-tactics - these options are both playable quite well and also allow you to achieve your objectives in its own way. Thereby not only story mode, but also multiplayer with its Spies vs. Mercs mode have become a real eyecatcher. Those who are looking for a good alternative for coming games as Battlefield 4 or Call of Duty: Ghosts, should be in good hands with this one.










Mad Max is an open world action game in third-person perspective, which takes place in an apocalyptic scene and which is based on the same-called movie series. However, everything revolves around Max and especially his car, as this game is all about a very rarely seen genre - which is to say - fighting cars. His faithful device appearing under the name "Magnum Opus" takes the main role in this game. Fighting with engine at standstill - not at all, as nearly every fight is decided while driving. Common firearms like pistols or rifles won't be of much help, because battles can only be won by ramming maneuvers and pushing.








9. Need for Speed: Rivals

Platforms: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Next-Gen
Booth: Electronic Arts, Hall 6.1


And one more Need for Speed - year after year, EA reveals another title of this series and therewith expands it continuously, which is the case this year as well. This time it comes with Frostbite 3 Engine; its content remains the same. You can keep on escaping from the police during exciting car chases or also drive normally on streets as a law-abiding citizen, explore the world and in this way accept and get through numerous challenges. Just like in any Need for Speed, one is not able to escape races - thanks to the AllDrive feature it is possible to participate in action-loaded races in multiplayer mode as well. Buying, selling and unlocking new rides is of course possible and tuning those might bring joy as well in this year's Need for Speed edition.










This year, developer EA again puts forward a new football simulation. The "FIFA" series is changed each year in favour of realism since 1993, which is the reason why it could establish itself that well. Coming "FIFA 14" won't depart from mentioned concept - that's why the developers focused on behaviour and intelligence of the virtual football players. By more intense work on ball physics, movements and dynamics, gamers should be able to have a unique experience as never seen before. There is also a new career mode, where searching for talents - with help of the scouting system - will play a huge role and where making use of it is promoted. This sports game is going to get released on September 23 2013.












The 2 new consoles must be put to the proof as well:


1. Playstation 4

Booth: Sony, Hall 7.1

The long-awaited PlayStation 4 must - of course - not be missed at this year's Gamescom.
