Many gamers lovea good, eerie, adrenaline-racing zombie game.It might seem strange during the time of a pandemic, but post-apocalyptic games do well on the market regardless.

Fortunately, some of these titles are set to be released this year. From the highly anticipatedDying Light 2to the spicy rumor ofResident Evil 4: Remake, here are the top ten horror games we're looking forward to seeing in the second half of 2020.

It's been two years since Techland announcedDying Light 2during E3 2018. Set roughly fifteen years after the firstDying Lightgame events,Dying Light 2will let players control Aiden Caldwell, an apocalypse survivor with over-the-top parkour skills trying to survive the dead city.

Unfortunately, followingthe sexual misconduct allegationsagainst Chris Avellone, the game's lead writer, Techland has parted way with him, leaving the development ofDying Light 2in limbo.

As the game title suggests,Remothered: Broken Porcelainis a straight sequel to 2018 award-winningRemothered: Tormented Fathers.Set in Ashmann Inn,Broken Porcelainwill center around the rebellious boarding school girl Jen trying to connect the dots to reveal her manor's gruesome history.

After all,Broken Porcelainis the missing link we all need toTormented Fathers. If you enjoyed navigating Dr. Richard Felton's mansion and diving into its secrets, look out for this game on October 20, 2020.

Up to this writing, Capcom has released two remakes of its classic horror hits:Resident Evil 2andResident Evil 3. With that being said, it's no surprise if they're working onResident Evil 4. This is all supposition on the part of players, but with some promising rumors abounding.

Unfortunately, as the team is gearing up forVillage, there aren't too many details to be told about the remake. So, fingers crossed.

Following the lackluster acceptance ofResident Evil 6, Capcom made a comeback to the franchise's original horror roots withResident Evil 7: Biohazard, and it was a massive success.

Its sequel,Resident Evil Village, is set to see a 2021 release. With an update coming, fans are more than amped forResident Evil Village, even though our favorite BSAA hero Chris Redfield will likely take more of an antagonistic role.

Remember the highly anticipatedDead Island 2? It's not your fault if you don't because the game has seen a plethora of shifts along the way. First, Techland worked on developing it back in 2012 before the Polish video game company set its focus on developingDying Lightinstead. Since then,Dead Island 2has moved from one developer to another, from Yager Development to Dambuster Studio.

However, Yager's leak of under-developedDead Island 2gameplay surfaced online in June this year. This has given fans a bit of faith, so, here's hoping.

Although this may not be classified as a straightforward 'zombie' game,Little Hopehas all the similar elements to spook its players. The sophomore title ofThe Dark Pictures Anthologyseries and the sequel toMan of Medanwill be set around four college students and their professor as they're stranded in the fictional dead city of Little Hope.

Just like its predecessor,Little Hopewill have branching storylines with plenty of endings to discover. If you're hyped already, be prepared for its release on October 30.

Remember the good old days ofLeft 4 Dead? Turtle Rock, formerly known as Valve South, took toTwitterlast July to share the first concept art of the upcomingLeft 4 Dead-inspired game,Back 4 Blood.

Although the release date for this game hasn't been revealed so far, expectBack 4 Bloodto be released for PS4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows platforms.

Not to be confused with Telltale'sThe Walking Dead, VR-supportedWalking Dead Onslaughthas an entirely separate graphic style and storyline than its spiritual predecessor. It will center the story of five different survivors with only a few moral lines left to cross: Rick, Daryl, Carol, Michonne, and Eugene. It was set to release back in 2019 but was later delayed until September 2020.

A recentHalloween update leakforRed Dead Redemption 2has led many fans to theorize there will be anotherUndead Nightmare.On top of that, the recentNaturalistupdate didn't sit right with most fans, and Rockstar's only way out to make big bank off RDR2 could be anUndead Nightmare 2.

Still, there is not ground to confirm anything about this expansion pack, but there is nothing wrong with hoping for it with Halloween coming soon.

Set several years in the future after the events of the Rainbow Six universe,Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Quarantinewill be a tactical co-op shooting game that promises a brand new, more radical experience of survival.

Up to this writing, there is no other information about the game's exact release date except that it is potentially between now and March 2021.
