#GamingBytes: Five most anticipated horror games
What's the story
Horror is one of the most subjective genres in gaming. Players must find a game which interests them, without being too scary. The next 6 months will see several quality horror games coming out; some have been available as part of early access. Spanning from zombie survival to cult horror remakes, gamers will be spoilt for choice. Here're five most exciting horror games.
Sinking City
That is not dead which can eternal lie
Frogwares is best known for its Sherlock Holmes games. However, the Ukrainian studio turned heads with the trailer of Sinking City. The game will release on March 21, 2019. Influenced by horror-master, HP Lovecraft's mythical creature Cthulhu, the game is set in the 1920s. Frogwares has stuck to its strength and players have to solve the supernatural mystery in this promisingly chilling game.
Resident Evil 2
Cult classics did it well, remakes do it better
Capcom's decision to remake Resident Evil 2, the 1998 cult classic horror game was met with all-round enthusiasm. The game will return with Raccoon City and favorite protagonists Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. However, the developers have introduced an improved shooting system. More importantly, the third person over-the-shoulder camera will increase the element of horror. The game will release on January 25, 2019.
World War Z
Flight not fight is the name of the game
World War Z will come out in 2019 and it promises to deliver a different experience than the usual zombie games. Saber Interactive has assured that players will face up to 500 zombies at a time.

Out of the sewers into light
