These are the top 5 games which will be released within the first quarter of 2017.There are some games which didn’t make the list, such as the upcoming South Park game (South Park: The Fractured But Whole) and the upcoming Mass Effect game (Mass Effect Andromeda). These didn’t make the list because we don’t have a confirmed release date which means it might not be released in the first quarter. The game I’m looking forward to the most is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Let us know down in the comments what you are most looking forward to.
