FPS games are a great way to relieve stress after a hard day at work or school and have the benefit of not actually doing this in real life (we hope!)
2017 looks like it’s going to be a great year for FPS games and we hope you enjoy the same games we’re looking forward to this year. If not, we’d love to see which games you’re waiting for in the comments below!
Farpoint
Farpoint is an unnerving VR space adventure set on a hostile alien planet. On a mission to pick up scientists studying an anomaly near Jupiter, a rupture from the anomaly transports the player and scientists to an unknown alien world.
Overload
Overload is a new six-degree-of-freedom shooter from the creators of Descent, currently under development. This Playable Teaser is an alpha-level demo of the game. Originally released during our Kickstarter campaign in March 2016, Version 2.0 is a complete overhaul and shows the game as it stands in March 2017.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2
Sorry, not much is known about this one yet, nor is there a trailer for you to enjoy.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson:
“Our next Star Wars Battlefront will be even bigger, taking players into more locations, and allowing them to play with more heroes and characters across multiple Star Wars eras,” Wilson said. “There will be new ways to play, including an all-new single-player campaign, and much, much more that we are excited to share with our players in the months ahead.”
