LEGO Marvel's Avengers / LEGO Marvel's Avengers Has A Release Date LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is coming to North America on January 26, 2016, and Europe on January 29, 2016, for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, 3DS, and Windows PC. If you’re looking to pre-order, GameStop customers have the option of an exclusive Silver Centurion Iron Man LEGO minifigure. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers comes with the usual suspects, and a few surprises. For a start, players will be able to play as both Sam Wilson’s Captain America and America Chavez. If that’s not interesting enough, you’ll also be able to play as the Stan-buster, which is essentially Iron Man’s Hulk-buster suit as if it was built by Stan Lee. The Stan-buster takes its cues from both the original source material and, obviously, Stan Lee. It even has Stan’s trademark mustache on the helmet, and his glasses.

The countdown to 2017’s big game releases has already begun… Release dates: every game confirmed for 2017 2017 is shaping up to be a strong year for new releases, book-ended by a new Resident Evil in January and ending with a new Red Dead Redemption sometime later in the year. In between there’s the return of massive franchises such as Mass Effect, console exclusives like Detroit: Become Human, and the continued vibrancy of cool releases from the indie scene. We’ve put together this list of games for every title confirmed for PS4, Xbox One and PC over the coming 12 months, as well as the addition of some of the more interesting or high-profile releases on other platforms, including those for Nintendo’s new console, the Switch. We’ll also note all major DLC updates for the biggest games too. We’ll update this throughout the year, juggling dates as games are announced and delayed, and as others are nailed down to specific months of the year. Now, what are you looking forward to playing?
January starts strong with the return of Resident Evil, while the end of the month includes DLC for Infinite Warfare, the full release of last year’s Hitman episodes and our first look at Conan: Exiles. Ubisoft’s co-op online brawler For Honor shows promise for February, along with Xbox One exclusive Halo Wars 2 and the bombastic return of Sniper Elite. Some of us are holding out for Night in the Woods too. March is going to be the month that Nintendo launches a brand new console onto the market. There’s a lot we don’t know about the Switch, but hardware launches are always exciting times so we expect a pretty lively month as publishers confirm their games for launch day. If that’s not your bag, Ubisoft is dropping new Tom Clancy spin-off Ghost Recon: Wildlands. As the year rolls on we’ll be able to define these titles by month when publishers confirm their release dates, but in the meantime these are all pegged for the first three months or “early 2017”.
Expect some to be pushed back. We’re holding out for Mass Effect: Andromeda around this time as the big release in early 2017. The mad platform antics of Yooka-Laylee has been piquing our interest for long enough, so we’re glad to see this project from ex-Rare staffers is nailed down for April. Persona 5, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 and a remaster of Bulletstorm won’t go unnoticed, either. Namco’s Little Nightmares leads the releases during a quiet period, but we’re also intrigued by Sonic Mania, Cuphead and the release of Lego City Undercover around this time. There are a lot of releases due between summer and the end of the year, but it’s a little too early for publishers to nail down dates in most cases. So as much as we’re expecting big hitters like Red Dead Redemption 2, Dawn of War 3, Crackdown 3 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2, we’re treating them all as fluid and would expect some on this list to slip into 2018. Delayed and announced for 2018 We’ve only just started 2017 and we’re looking at games coming out 2018.
