Video game enthusiasts have several good reasons to be excited about because as far as video games go, there are a lot to be enjoyed in 2016. Tom Clancy games are making a huge step forward and others like "Mass Effect" are also going in the right direction, making a lot of gamers giddy with excitement. 

First on the list is Ubisoft's "The Division," a video game based on the storyline written by Tom Clancy. So far, the game's trailers are giving away clues on its graphics, gameplay, and feel. Initial impressions are very positive. Gamers play the role of a super-secret unit of tactical agents who are basically on their own on a very dangerous free-for-all environment. The Division is tasked to prevent the fall of society in the midst of the chaos of a deadly disease. Set to be released on March 8, this game will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. 

For "Mass Effect" fans, next year will be an exciting one as "Mass Effect 4" is coming, now with a new name, "Andromeda." Developed by BioWare and still under the Electronic Arts cover, this game is a highlight game from EA, meaning players can expect it to be very good. Anticipation is justified because two major changes are confirmed for this game: first, Commander Shephard is not the lead for this one; and second, multiplayer option is available. "Andromeda" will be coming in the last quarter of 2016 and will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Another Tom Clancy game is coming in 2016 (exact date still unavailable), "Ghost Recon: Wildlands." This game boasts an open-world environment and will likely have some influences from "Just Cause 3" and "GTA 5." Set in modern times, the variety of environments for this game is numerous which can only mean one thing – a massive map to the delight of avid gamers. This will be available for  Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
