After successfully delivering its fans with popular titles such as Quake Champions and Rage 2, id software is ready to rock 2020 with Doom Eternal.

Minecraft Dungeons is another upcoming game of 2020 set in the same block-breaking sandbox world as its predecessor.

In simple words, it will be the same as the Diablo 3 and Path of Exile with no loot boxes and microtransactions but in-game coins only.
Players will notice mobs like skeletons and zombies that behave the same as ones in the previous Minecraft game. The gear enhancements are also going to be the same.

Roller Champions
At last, we are going to tell you about the Roller Champions! It is a roller-derby-inspired game that will give you the very vibes of Alita: The Battle Angel. Developed by Ubisoft, Roller Champions will be having two groups comprised of three players. Both groups will be racing around the track and striving to keep possession of a ball.
The more laps your team will cover while holding the ball, the more chances of your win will get closer! However, the counter will reset if the opponents knock down all of your team members. This upcoming game will be free-to-play and available only on PC. It seems like Ubisoft has started to focus on the sports genre. Let’s sit back and wait for its release.
Release Date: Q1 to Q2 of 2020
Platforms: Microsoft Windows
Above are the top upcoming games of 2020 that are catching the attention of gamers already. All of the mentioned games will be requiring a modern PC with decent specs to play flawlessly.
