Upcoming Game Remakes and Remasters for 2020 and Beyond

Sometimes, it feels like the movie industry and the video game industry have a symbiotic relationship. Just as developers strive to make games feel more cinematic, filmmakers are always on the lookout for the next game franchise they can bring to the silver screen.

This industry influence extends to the philosophies of remaking old hits. Hollywood is littered with sequels, prequels, and remakes. And now, the video game industry is absolutely dominated by remakes and remasters.

Don’t believe us? Here are the best remakes and remasters to look forward to in the rest of 2020 and beyond.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered

Release Date: May 19, 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Switch as a digital release

PlatinumGames may have brought us Bayonetta, but do they have anything new to offer to the world of action? As it turns out: yes!

The Wonderful 101 put you in control of 100 heroes at one time, forcing you to find the right combination of powers and weapons to beat the bad guys. It’s an experience that is simultaneously slick and ambitious, and the remaster promises better graphics, speeder loading times, and higher frame rates.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered

Release Date: May 22, 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Certain longtime fans of Grand Theft Auto were disappointed at later games. That’s because much of the over-the-top silliness of previous games was replaced with attempts at realistic plots and action.

And that’s where Saints Row: The Third really shines. This franchise wasn’t afraid to fully embrace the “kid in a candy shop” craziness of a true sandbox experience. While GTA is the more polished series, Saints Row is definitely more fun.

Armed with enhanced graphics, this remaster is going to introduce the Saints to a whole new generation of gamers.
