Upcoming Android Games of 2020

1) Dauntless

This free-to-play, action-packed, monster-slaying RPG is soon to receive its mobile version with release dates not yet confirmed or announced. For now, the game is available for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

In Dauntless, you will be playing as a fearless slayer that takes down monsters known as behemoths, either solo or you can team up with up to three slayers and conquer the demons together in co-op battles. The fallen behemoths provide crafting materials that you can use to create stronger weapons for tougher behemoths to come.

The Android version certainly won’t be any less intense but may require a constant internet connection for smooth gameplay.

2) Apex Legends

The latest battle royale game, Apex Legends from Respawn Entertainment is set to take the mobile platform and give Fortnite and PUBG a good competition. However, there hasn’t been any solid announcement regarding the launch date. So far we have March 2021 to work with, which comes from EA’s latest financial briefing.

The popular FPS battle royale games saw certain tweaks in its mobile version, so whether Apex Legends will come with a twist for its mobile game or stay loyal to the original remains a mystery.

3) Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal, Blizzard Entertainment’s second console game will be hitting the Android phones soon but there’s a catch. Unlike the usual drill of mobile versions being identical to the original PC or console games, Diablo Immortal is not.

The storyline is built between the events of Diablo II and III; where Archangel Tyrael is assumed to be dead with Worldstone shattered into fragments. These segments are what encouraging evil creatures to get hold of the stone’s power to conquer the land.   

The game allows you to choose your warrior from six classes, each having 12 skills that you can use to defeat the creatures. These classes are named: Barbarian, Monk, Wizard, Crusader, Demon Hunter, and Necromancer.

Although the game is listed in Play Store; the release date is still yet to be officially announced. Until then, hold your gaming spirits.

4) Warhammer: Odyssey

This MMORPG game set in the Old World takes players to some of the most iconic locations in Warhammer lore; from Marienburg and Drakwald Forest to The Wasteland. This Android game is still in the works and allows you to fight off agents of Chaos with your choice of character that includes Archmage, Warrior Priest, Engineer, Shadow Warrior, Slayer, or Witch Hunter.

This visually stunning game with impressive details will take you in a different world altogether, one which the fans of Warhammer Age of Sigmar must be excited about. For now, you can pre-register on the official website while this mobile game gets a closed beta test this month.

5) Path of Exile Mobile

Another MMORPG like Warhammer: Odyssey makes it to the Android games list for 2020. The game itself was released back in 2013, has finally taken the plunge to release a mobile version of the game.

The mobile version is quite similar to that of the PC version but developers have tweaked the game to be mobile-friendly; that is, to allow mobile controls.

Much like any top MMORPG, the Path of Exile has interesting lore to keep the gamers interested. As exciting as this may sound for role-playing-lore-loving gamers; this game is listed as an ‘experimental’ title. Meaning, the Path of Exile Mobile may never see an official release. Hopefully, that may not be true and we get positive updates as time passes.

6) Genshin Impact

Combine your love for manga and anime with an actual open-world action role-playing manga video game and you get Genshin Impact. This particular game is set to launch on major platforms like Android, iOS, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
