<\/a><\/p>\nThe original Mad Max<\/em> movies (including the recently-released Fury Road<\/em>) are jam-packed with vehicular carnage and massive explosions, and the forthcoming game is set to bring that to the table, along with a massive open-world that we’re desperate to explore.<\/p>\nAvalanche Studios have crafted a massive map\u00a0that will allow you to transition from on-foot combat to in-car destruction on-the-fly.<\/p>\n
Flipping cars, detonating opponents and punching dudes in the face\u2026 what more could you want?<\/p>\n
Just Cause 3 – Late 2015<\/strong><\/h3>\n(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/p>\n
![\"Open-world](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Open-world-Games-Just-Cause-3.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe adrenaline-inducing Just Cause 3<\/em> is one of the most exciting-looking games coming our way this year, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.<\/p>\nThe open-world action sequel sees returning protagonist Rico Rodriguez battle an evil dictatorship in his home country.<\/p>\n
Like previous games in the series, Rico\u2019s best friends are a grapple mechanic that allows him to hook onto nearly any object, a redeployable parachute and a new wing suit that lets him free fall at extreme speed.<\/p>\n
The title features a 400 square mile map covering three main areas, each of which will be explorable from the start.<\/p>\n
Rico can take command of Medici\u2019s towns and use them to fast travel, hideout or save vehicles that can be called in as supply drops. Expect big ‘splosions, big jumps and lots of guns when Just Cause 3<\/em> releases later this year.<\/p>\nThe Division – March 8, 2016<\/strong><\/h3>\n(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/p>\n
![\"Open-world](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Open-world-Games-The-Division.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nUbisoft Massive\u2019s ambitious, persistent online shooter is an enormous undertaking.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve seen developer walkthroughs, but now we want to get our hands on some new details, or even the game, to see its visually impressive Snowdrop Engine and glorious post-apocalyptic open-world set within New York.<\/p>\n
The Division’s<\/em> massive world will also be greatly utilised, as you can team up with other The Division<\/em> players across the map via online play.<\/p>\nPlayers can customise\u00a0their character, backpack and level up weapons, gear and skills.<\/p>\n
The game also features a dynamic, time based weather system\u00a0in the winter-swept NY, which players\u00a0can use for strategic advantage.<\/p>\n
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate – October 23
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/p>\n
![\"Open-world](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Open-world-Games-Assassins-Creed-Syndiate.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe next instalment in the much-loved Assassin’s Creed<\/em> series has piqued our interest.<\/p>\nAfter the somewhat underwhelming Unity<\/em>, the franchise is making a jump from Paris to Victorian-era London, which in the gameplay demos we’ve seen, looks alive and begging to be explored.<\/p>\nAs with real-life London in those times, the world will have different dynamics to the multiple areas of the city.<\/p>\n
From poor, crime-ridden boroughs to upper-class cobblestone streets will pave the way for some exciting gameplay.<\/p>\n
Carriages fill the streets, the buildings are taller than ever and dense crowds pack the sidewalks, meaning you\u2019ll need some help getting around the city.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where the introduction of the rope launcher comes in.<\/p>\n
A new addition to the Assassin gauntlet, the rope launcher will propel you to new heights at a faster pace or even let you create a zipline between buildings and avoid the streets altogether.<\/p>\n
Fallout 4 – November 10

<\/a><\/p>\nFallout 4<\/em> is undoubtedly one of the first games on everyone’s list when talking about upcoming open-world adventures.<\/p>\nThe post-apocalyptic franchise is taking things to new heights, with Bethesda claiming they are out to reinvent the open-world genre.<\/p>\n
The colossal map will be around 48\u00a0square kilometres, allegedly, which is double that of Skyrim’s<\/em> 23.5\u00a0square kilometres, and with a new engine under the hood,\u00a0there’s going to be a lot more open terrain worth exploring.<\/p>\nFallout 4’s<\/em> custom-built shelter option also makes us excited to explore the subterranean world of the game, and of course, see what the community comes up with.<\/p>\n
