Every week, numerous games launch on Xbox One, but which ones truly stand out? Here are some of the biggest and most anticipated titles launching across Microsoft's platforms next week. We have a few new "AAA" releases Xbox One, but there are still a few surprises here and there. Notably, Mortal Kombat 11 is finally launching on the console, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis continues the story of the game. With that in mind, here are all the best games launching next week, between April 22 and 26.
Most anticipated Xbox One games for 2019 and beyond
Mortal Kombat 11
Mortal Kombat 11 is the continuation of the acclaimed franchise. Not only does this iteration look better, but it also features new mechanics that allow you to customize your fighter like never before. It's unclear if this is a direct sequel to Mortal Kombat X because the story seems to feature time travel. Then again, Mortal Kombat is all about beating up your opponent, and not really about what's happening in the world.
Mortal Kombat 11 should launch on April 23, starting at $60. The game features Xbox One X enhancements.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis
Ever since Assassin's Creed Odyssey launched, players have been asking Ubisoft to let them explore the lost city of Atlantis. Atlantis plays an important part in the story, and you should be able to explore is really soon. The Fate of Atlantis begins the second story arc for the title, and it promises to reveal all of the mysteries of the city. Hopefully Ubisoft will let players explore the area as an open-world setting instead of a linear experience.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis should launch on April 23. The expansion is part of the season pass and features Xbox One X enhancements.
Other experiences like UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure and Unknown Fate should also release next week.
These are the biggest games launching soon, and many of them seem like absolutely thrilling experiences. Be sure to check out Mortal Kombat 11 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis because they appear to be the most unique games out of the lot. Which titles are you interested in?
