The next generation of gaming is imminent with the release of the new video game consoles (PS4 & XBox One) and the year of 2014 promises a brilliant future for the gaming history. The expectations are enormous but for now, nothing is for certain, since most next-gen titles are still under development. However, the panorama seems quite competitive with a huge amount of titles incoming – renowned developers, famous franchises and anticipated titles will struggle for popularity, users and awards.

One of the hottest genres lately has been the action-adventure role-playing category and the upcoming year promises a tremendous amount of choice and opportunity for this field. The acclaimed The Witcher and Dragon Age series will return and new names like Watch Dogs will certainly expand the world of next-gen role-playing. The upcoming spring will bring many surprises and players will most likely have a hard time sticking with just one title. Let’s take a look at the top 5 action-adventure solo games coming next spring.
