Heat Signature is a game all about breaking into spaceships. Zooming around the galaxy in a tiny defencelesscraft, it’s your job to complete randomly-assigned mission objectives such as ‘Steal this massive dreadnaught’ or‘assassinate this captain’. To achieve these objectives you’ll need to sneak up on some procedurally generatedships, dock with them, and then creep around their interiors trying to find their secrets.

It’s Treyarch’s turn to take up the Call of Duty reigns again, and this time will have the added freedom of thenew three-year development cycle Activision have adopted. Treyarch work within their own universe, but we’reexpecting them to move on from the Black Ops storyline to compete with the newness of Advanced Warfare.

worked in Black Ops II, but is a glimmer of innovation the series sorely needs.

Fallout 4

Todd Howard and his team from Bethesda have been suspiciously quiet since Skyrim released in 2011, so they’recertainly at work on something. That something is surely Fallout 4. It’s been six years since Bethesda resurrectedthe Fallout games with Fallout 3, and since then they’ve developed a new engine that’s been primed and testedby Skyrim and is now ready to power a filthy retro future. Rumours have circled around the web about a Bostonsetting and various attached voice actors, and even a trademark filed on the title “Fallout 4: Shadow of Boston”.Bethesda have done all they can to debunk these rumours, but considering the wait, the lack of output from theteam, and the logic of the Elder Scrolls/Fallout cycle, Fallout 4 is surely on the horizon.

Left 4 Dead 3

Valve quickly followed up Left 4 Dead with a sequel, but the wait for a third entry in the zombie co-op shooterseries has been longer than any of us would like. It’s been made worse by the odd tidbit of information that hasescaped Valve’s sealed doors. First we had screenshots of a presentation that showed Left 4 Dead 2’s Plantationlevel recreated in Source 2.0, and then later on in the year ex-Valve employee and Counter-Strike creator MinhLe claimed in an interview to have seen Left 4 Dead 3’s concept art.

Our best bet: Left 4 Dead 3 will be Valve’s Source 2.0 debut. The new engine needs to make an appearance soonsince the original version of Source is now a decade old. And with the lessons Valve have learnt from Dota 2, wecould well see a beta version of L4D3 in 2015.
