2017 is proving to be a stellar year for video game releases.

Release dates: every game confirmed for 2017

2017 is shaping up to be a bumper year for new video games, kicking off with Resident Evil and ending with more big hitters, from Destiny 2 to Call of Duty: WW2 and beyond. In between there’s the return of massive franchises such as Mass Effect, console exclusives like Detroit: Become Human, and the continued vibrancy of cool releases from the indie scene.

We’ve put together this list of games for every title confirmed for PS4, Xbox One and PC over the coming 12 months, as well as the addition of some of the more interesting or high-profile releases on other platforms, including those for Nintendo’s new console, the Switch.
