GamesRadar+ debuted their digital event Future Games Show on June 13, 2020. It was hosted by acclaimed voice artists Nolan North and Emily Rose (well known for their lead roles in the Uncharted series) and featured more than 40 games spanning PC, console, and mobile platforms.
Here is our selection of the top 5 games from Future Games Show that got us hyped! Since gamers are already aware of popular upcoming games like Wasteland 3, Kena: Bridge Of Spirits shown during the PS5 reveal event, and Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, we will exclude them from our list.
Call Of The Sea
Drawing its inspirations from Firewatch and The Witness, this adventure puzzler set in 1934 puts you in the shoes of Norah – a woman in search of her lost husband who stumbled upon this lush forgotten paradise island in the South Pacific. Solve a variety of puzzles and occult mysteries in this emotional journey while soaking in the fabulous sights.

Get To The Orange Door
The game’s title is all you need to know. With retro synth blasting in the background, run, slide and dash across the levels at supersonic speed while fighting off enemies hell-bent on stopping you from reaching the orange door. Will definitely remind you of the frantic action of the Titanfall series.
