Here's something that I just thought of when looking at games coming out this year. 2019 looks like it could very well be a strong year for video games in general. Lots of major games like KH3, Devil May Cry 5, Animal Crossing and so on all appear to be shaping up to be huge critical and maybe financial successes when they release. However, there is one genre that I feel isn't getting much attention for having a stacked catalogue of 2019 games and that is strategy games. Not gonna lie there are already lots of promising looking strategy titles both turn based and real time that I think will developed cult followings or maybe become mainstream hits. For those wondering here is the list of strategy games currently slated for 2019 with a concrete date, month or quarter of release:
If anyone else here has anymore strategy games to post here that I missed out, please go ahead and leave a post please.
