Welcome to the next level

After a stellar year in gaming that gave us such hits as "Zelda: Breath of the Wild," "Horizon: Zero Dawn" and the mobile powerhouse Nintendo Switch, what could 2018 possibly offer to raise the bar even further?

As they might have said in the 1980s: "Get your quarters ready."

From a new open world adventure in America's Wild West to an unlikely father and son journey through Norse mythology, the titles slated to arrive over the next 12 months are as beautiful as they are heartbreaking, dramatic and downright frightening.

Hit "continue" on the New Year as we look over some of the best in interactive, heart-pounding storytelling for 2018.
