(SPOT.ph) Playing video games is always going to be one of the world's favorite pastimes—whether it's after a long day at work or after doing chores (or both, especially in today's quarantine set-up). Game developers have been busy despite the pandemic—which means gamers have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. Below, we round up 10 of the most anticipated games that we cannot wait to button-mash on.
We can't wait for these upcoming games in 2021:
Pokémon Unite
Release date: Late 2021

What if Pokémon tried the multiplayer online battle arena genre? You have your answer in Pokémon Unite. It’s a 5v5 game that feels like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang but with our fave pocket monsters. In the game, players pick one Pokémon each and must catch wild Pokémon in the arena to score points. The team with the most points after the time limit wins. At the same time, you can have your main Pokémon level up, evolve, and learn new moves by defeating wild Pokémon. Defend your base by duking it out against the other players. The best part is that cross-platform play between mobile and Switch gamers are supported!
Available on Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch.

Summoners Wars: Sky Arena is one of the most famous RPG games for mobile—which is why it’s a no-brainer for its game devs to expand the franchise with Summoners War: Chronicle. Chronicle is an MMORPG that features the events that occurred 70 years before Sky Arena. Party up with up to two other players in exploring new dungeons and killing monsters for rad and powerful loot. A World Arena feature is available for PvP and guild battle is said to be in the plans for the near future.

Say cheese! New Pokémon Snap is a sequel to the 1990s game that puts your photo-capturing skills to the test. You need to help Professor Mirror take pictures of different Pokémon in their natural environments as part of his “ecological survey.” The game judges the framing, angle, and subject pose of your pictures, so, the better pictures you have, the higher score you will gain. After taking a picture, you can modify its brightness, blur, zoom, and many other elements to improve its quality.
Available on Nintendo Switch.
