GNamer Fantasy Games League (And your Year Four winner is...)

Ubisoft announced in their financials they have 5 AAA games coming between April 2020 to March 2021.

Three of them will come out by the end of 2020.

Three of the AAA games seem to be Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, Gods and Monsters.

I'm really hoping those three are the three coming this year but if the one of the two unknown games is Assassin's Creed, I can't see Ubisoft not releasing it November 2020.

Unless it's a PS5 and Series X game, where Ubisoft think they'll do well in Q1 2021 as not a lot else would be available.

I could be done over Cappa with these counter picks, though.

It's all going downhill for Mas!

I just saw a tweet from the guy that runs the site - he's implementing an option to ban unannounced games moving forwards. Honestly, I like having them in. It's a huge gamble if you go for something like that, so I don't mind folks bidding on unannounced titles.

I've got my fingers crossed Ubisoft push Watch Dogs Legion as the big November game.

Unannounced games you say

Maybe one of Ubisoft's unannounced games is Paper Mario, reimagined as a third-person cover based online shooter. Licking my chops at the 78% OpenCritic score already.

Make sure to pick up the Paper Mario Battlepass to unlock some sweet badges and outfits for Mario and the gang.

Would it still be better than Nintendo's attempt at it though? The sad answer's probably yes.

Just the substandard ones, like Sticker Star, Thousand Year Door and Colour Splash. "The Unholy Trinity" of Paper Mario games.

Yep, that's too obvious even to talk about interacting with...

...wait. NOOOOOO

I noticed there's a box under the leaderboard on the Fantasy site now that shows when the next games are due to release for the League - handy!

It is but when I looked yesterday seemed to show last years pickers like my name next to Ori.

Anyway I picked up the unannounced Call of Duty for 2020, which now gives me three unannounced games with two of the three being total guesses as least COD will come out. If those both don't come out even dropping one, still taking 0 for the other.

I do only have two spaces left, and I was looking at Outriders as it's a launch game for PS5 and XSX that might review well, also was looking at Dreams as I'm hearing great things but could see it getting 10's but also 3's due to it being more of a application.

Least I've got plenty of money that I can bid like $90 for Spider-Man 2 or whatever gets announced.

Weird - it shows the right person for the 2020 league next to the upcoming releases for me.

I reckon it's a bad idea to fill up your line-up as much as you're planning at this stage. We've not had any Nintendo Directs, State of Plays and E3 looms in the distance too. I think it's a big gamble.

Why I have held off Outriders and Dreams, especially now knowing I can bid like $90 for a big game and not miss out on Links Awakening like last year

I heard a rumour COD is sitting out 2020.

Dreams is on 96 but looked, couldn't have got anyway because of early access which is a relief as would have been annoyed if I had missed out.

Good, because I haven't. At all. I forget this exists half the time, which doesn't help.

I was listening to a podcast earlier on which said that Jason Schreier of Kotaku, who's spot on with his scoops, confirmed that the other two are Far Cry and Assassin's Creed. So, there you go.

Nope - Activision have it sitting in Q4 2020 in their report to investors, so it's definitely happening.

I just really hope Assassin's Creed is Match 2021 then.

Sorry I thought I was in the Kirby's Rumour Buffet thread when I mentioned COD.

Even worse. You know we only allow 100% true and verified rumours in that thread.

Spotted Andy picked up Outriders. I definitely think we need a big Direct or State of Play to help flesh out some of our rosters at this point!

Has he dumped Dying Light 2 yet? Also Outriders looks really generic but might do well as it's a launch game then again these live service game's normally don't start out that great.

I take the lead but can't see it lasting long as looks like there's about 6 games we've picked coming out between now and the end of the month.

I'M ON THE LEADERBOARD GUYZ

Solid draft pick there, Balla! It looks like your time atop the leaderboard may be short-lived though as Ori looks like it'll be pulling in a ton of points for Andy.

I picked up Amnesia: Rebirth on the sly yesterday.
