What succeeds during the next console generation is likely to shape a lot of the blockbuster games we see over the coming decade, since almost all triple-A games are created to be multiformat now. Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6 and Cyberpunk 2077 will all be primarily singleplayer games-and interest in each is huge. This is slightly less predictable, but we can make a lot of educated guesses on what's down the line. Divinity: Fallen Heroes, a tactical spin-off for Larian's series, will be playable in both singleplayer and co-op, and that's possibly going to release this year. Remedy's Control looks like a slightly weird proposition for a blockbuster played solo, and of course, Obsidian's The Outer Worlds is a big ticket game for long-time RPG fans. That seems likely to be released either this year or next, based on the usual wait for Ubisoft sequels. Watch Dogs 3 is rumoured to be set in London, and that's historically been a singleplayer-focused series. Ghost Recon Breakpoint will let you play in singleplayer, too, with a drone helping you out in lieu of human players. Even Call of Duty will have a campaign again this year, if that's something you're looking forward to. You've got Doom Eternal and Jedi Fallen Order, as well as a few co-op games that you'll probably have no issues enjoying solo, like Borderlands 3 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The rest of 2019 is looking healthy, too. The pervasive fear around the death of singleplayer games is likely more about where they're going, though, rather than where they are right now-so let's look ahead. Some games from last year have had a healthy extended life, too, if you're willing to spend money on yet more hours of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. While there have been a few multiplayer breakouts like Apex Legends and Mordhau, it feels like the year has so far belonged to solo experiences.
I would think there's something for everyone in that list, and many of those games are from major publishers. If I had to predict anything, it's that my beloved immersive sims and stealth games will be less prominent during the next era of singleplayer games There are also players we can't see, as it's available through Bethesda's launcher, too. Clearly it hasn't seen the same level of success, but Doom was a more remarkable game, and Rage 2 doesn't look like a disaster by any means.
In the case of Rage 2, it's had what seems like a slow start in the UK boxed market, but perhaps a more relevant metric is looking at its all-time peak on Steam: 13,591, compared to Doom 2016's 31,623. Of those, a few have been publicly confirmed successes, like Anno, Capcom's games and Sekiro.
