It s a bit tricky to knock together a list of the best upcoming stealth games, because it s a bit tricky to say what a stealth game even is anymore. Stealth is more frequently looking like a playstyle or bulletpoint rather than the crux of an entire game. Even the best stealth games in recent memory – yer Invisible Incs, Ian Hitmans, Alien: Isolations – have all layered their stealth within towering trifles of genre mashups. And that s good! It just means we’ve had to flex the definition for this list.
Below, I ve gathered together a few of the best upcoming stealth games that I ve got my ridiculously over powered, patrol pattern-sensing eye on. Some of these aren t strictly genre adherent, but all offer stealthy play as at least core element. Do feel free to suggest your own upcoming games in the comments.
