Isonzo
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
If you’re a fan of tactical shooters and games set in the older times of history then look no farther, Isonzo will be the next game you’ll want to sink all your time into. Isonzo is the third entry in the WW1 games series focusing on the Italian Front and the conflict that raged between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The two forces battled in the mountains which is what players can expect to be a part of when it comes time to play. A new offensive game mode will pit players in an attacker versus defender game mode similar to Battlefield 2042’s Breakthrough mode, and there will be plenty of classes and load-outs to experiment with in order to give your side the edge they need to win the battle. Isonzo is targeting a Summer 2022 launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation 5.
Project Warlock II
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
Project Warlock II looks to give players an ambitious setup as players will take control of a Warlock who uses guns. The end. That’s pretty much what it’s going for. Project Warlock II is heavily influenced by classics such as Quake and Doom 64 putting players in vertical arenas filled with demons, magic, and plenty of heavy metal music. Over the course of three episodes and three unique Warlocks, face your demons with swords, quad barreled harvesters, sniper rifles and discover the many hidden secrets each level carries. As this is a sequel, the developers have spent plenty of time including features such as saving. Sounds crazy, but it’s the thought that counts. Project Warlock II is set to release in June 2022.
Redfall
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
Arkane Studios is looking to build off of the success of Dishonored and Deathloop with their newest title: Redfall. Set in the island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, vampires take over the town and hold everyone hostage. It’s up to a small group of survivors to fight back, and that’s where you come in. Take control of one of four characters, each with their own unique abilities, and cleanse the town of Redfall of the vampiric horde. Four-player co-op will be an option, and there will be an open world for players to explore following the Arkane style of games. Knowing Arkane and the expertise they have when it comes to world-building, expect there to be more to this game and its story than meets the eye. Redfall is set to launch in Summer 2022 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and will be a day one launch of Xbox’s Game Pass.
Boundary
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
If by any chance Isonzo doesn’t tickle your tactical shooter fancy, Boundary may be the game you were looking for all this time. Boundary is the next evolution of the tactical shooter genre as players will take control of astronauts duking it out in space in what seems like a more realistic version of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Across four different game modes, six playable “operators” with unique abilities, and with a mix of futuristic weapons and modern weapons, space combat will take on a new meaning. Developer Surgical Scalpels have been working on this title for quite some time so expect to see some new elements as we get closer to release. Be sure to practice your zero gravity movement; you’ll need it! Boundary is set to release sometime this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
Fans of Warhammer: Vermintide should feel right at home with one of the next entries in the 40K series: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Similar to Vermintide, Darktide will pit four players in a co-op setting as they look to fend off waves of AI-controlled cultists known as the Admonition. It sounds simple, but the amount of enemies on your screen ramps up quickly and, if you aren’t careful, you’ll find yourself overwhelmed very quickly. Team comps will be very important as you’ll need every edge you can get to survive the hordes. Not much else has been shared from the development team at Fatshark, but after a COVID-related delay, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is set to release on Sept. 13, 2022 for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Atomic Heart
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
Fans of the Bioshock series have been clamoring for a new entry since the series “ended” with Bioshock Infinite back in 2013. With the developers behind the series going silent, Mundfish has decided to take matters into their own hands with Atomic Heart. The game takes place in an alternate timeline of 1955 in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union made huge technological advances creating robots that aided labor and helped them turn the tide during the Second World War, and as a mentally unstable KGB agent, you are sent to investigate a facility that has gone dark only to find robots have gone completely rogue. You’ll have to take on the hero role and clear out the facility to find out what has happened using guns and unconventional weaponry ripped from your robotic foes. Atomic Heart was revealed back in 2018, and the game has seen a ton of progress with each new gameplay footage showing insane amounts of polish. If none of this gets you hyped then maybe hearing Mick Gordon, the composer behind the newer DOOM games will be composing the soundtrack . Atomic Heart is set to release sometime later this year with the developers teasing a release date in a month that ends with “BER” for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation 5.
RIPOUT
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
Developer Pet Project Team looks to do something interesting with their newest project: RIPOUT. RIPOUT will see a team of up to four players travel through derelict ships exterminating a hostile mutant force. While it seems simple, these mutants are capable of “reconfiguring” by having smaller aliens attach to them to make them stronger. As you travel through the ships with your team, you’re equipped with a weapon known as the “Pet Gun” that can either feed on your foes or blast them with deadly force. RIPOUT looks like a mix of Killing Floor with the horror elements from the Dead Space series, and that can be a good recipe for success. RIPOUT is set to launch sometime this year on Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2022)
Best FPS Games Releasing in 2022
It’s almost that time of year folks. The next entry in the long-standing FPS series will be here before we know it, despite heavy fan fatigue. This year’s title is being developed by Infinity Ward and has been confirmed as the sequel to 2019’s highly successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This year the game looks to do a couple of things differently as all the development has been done on a new engine by Infinity Ward, players will receive a new Warzone experience alongside the sequel, and it’ll mark the end of the yearly release cycle as there will be no new CoD title released in 2023. Not much besides the above information is known currently, but given this information was released back in February, Activision looks like they’re trying to build up hype after a rather disappointing year with Call of Duty: Vanguard. Have no fear PlayStation players, Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision will not impact CoD being released on PlayStation consoles this year.
