With the inauguration of next-generation consoles, many studios have embarked on other types of adventures. We have seen the arrival of deliveries with an artistic style worthy of a Pixar movie such as Kena: Bridge of Spirits or more graphically powerful titles such as Avatar announced. Action-adventure sandboxes indeed take the concept to another level, offering worlds full of incredibly immense detail.
The open-world genre has almost become an industry standard. It is a way to keep the player glued to the screen with countless missions, many characters and secrets everywhere. Judging by the potential presented by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the studios are already showing off the breakthrough that both next-gen technologies offer with their games.
