2018 has been a great year for survival games. The genre is among the most diverse in gaming, and 2018 have allowed players not only to explore the vastness of space with games like No Man's Sky Next, but also the depths of the ocean with Subnautica, a brutal fantasy world like in Conan Exile and so on.

　　2019 is setting out to be an incredible year for survival games. Whether it's surviving a hard and unforgiving environment, a zombie invasion of a futuristic warzone, fans of the genre have a lot to look forward to. These are our most anticipated survival games launching this year on PC and consoles.

Astroneer (February 6th)

　　In the game, players can work together (cross-play between PC and Xbox One is enabled, too) to build custom bases above or below ground, create vehicles to explore a vast solar system and shape the planets to their liking. Astroneer truly allows players to let their creativity go wild, so it will be very interesting to see what they will be able to come up with once the game finally exits the early access phase on February 6th. Check back closer to that date to find our full review.

Left Alive (March 5th)

　　Left Alive tells a story of survival from the perspective of three different characters during the devastating invasion set in war-torn Novo Slava in 2127. All three characters can be swapped on the fly, which will create some interesting gameplay dynamics. All three will also have to deal with mechs and armored vehicles, encounters that will make players truly feel the difference between man and machine. Multiple story paths and decisions will also be featured in Left Alive, making the Square Enix game rather unique as far as survival games go.
