Potential Launch Games For Next-Gen Xbox 720

It seems as though each week that goes by, we are starting to learn more information in regards to the launch of the follow-up to the Xbox 360, the next-gen Xbox 720. Due to this fact, we thought it would be fun to take a look at potential launch games for the next-gen console.

The Xbox 720 launch is rumored to take place during the holiday 2013 shopping season.

This is going to put it head-to-head with the launch of the follow-up to the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo Wii U.

There has yet to be any confirmed launch titles, obviously due to the fact that the system has not even been formally introduced to the public.

Insiders believe that the Xbox 720 is going to make its debut at this coming CES, and this is going to then open the door for a series of announcements including improvements to Xbox Live, next-gen launch games, and so on.

With that said, we have a list of 5 top-notch games that could possibly be ready for the launch of the Xbox 720, whenever it takes place.

5. Star Wars: The Old Republic Online - The PC world is ready for the next-gen Star Wars MMORPG, as it is set to release in December of this year. The console market has evolved from an online-gaming perspective, and this could easily be ported and ready for an Xbox 720 launch.

4. Call of Duty Next - We have labeled this one Call of Duty Next simply because we do not yet know which Call of Duty we will receive next. Taken into account the wild success of the game on the Xbox 360 though, even as a launch title with Call of Duty 2, and this one is a surefire bet for launch day.

3. Fable Next - The next iteration of Fable has already been confirmed to be in development and the expectation is that the game is being geared up for a launch-day release.

2. Grand Theft Auto 5 - The next Grand Theft Auto release was recently unveiled, and there are already rumblings that it will end up as an Xbox 720 launch title. We could not think of a game with more mass appeal than GTA to launch a next-gen system to hardcore gamers.

1. Halo 4 - The Halo franchise is the reason we all know and love the Xbox. Without Halo, we may have never even seen the release of the Xbox 360. Simply put, the Xbox 720 must launch with the next version of Halo.
