Are there any games you are EXCITED for on the horizon?

Don't think anything is releasing this year which has me excited. I was initially looking forward to Elden Ring Neightrein but it sounds like a miserable solo experience. However, 2026 looks better for me. Mainly eyeing up Onimusha and Phantom Blade Zero. Hopefully something from the Resident Evil series, too.
 
I wish Bungie would clean release a new Destiny game where we're all starting at the same spot again. I haven't played it in years because I'm too lost now.

The bustling world
Probably the most ambitious game I have seen till date. It's pure sandbox. You can play as whatever you want. You want to be an assassin? Go ahead. You want to be a cop? Go ahead. You want to be a magistrate or a noble ? Go ahead. You can build homes, destroy other homes, kill NPCs, rob them, marry their wives, etc.

This looks real good, thanks for sharing!
 
Trails 1 remake!
 
Nah.. Not really excited. My backlog is gigantic, so whatever good comes, I'll learn it after the the fact and probably buy it much later at a discount.

As for "curiously on my radar" games, I'll say the following:
  • Judas
  • Exodus
  • Expedition 33
  • Hell is Us
  • Death Stranding 2
 
Nothing really. Today's industry has mad lack of good ongoing stories. Used to look forward to so many games just because of stories sake…. But now? Nothing.

Hope that at least RE introduces some interesting new arc with the next entry. I love the series and all but man has it been long since I cared for its story.
 
Mario Kart 9, Sakurai's next game, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Hades II 1.0, No Rest for the Wicked 1.0, Yooka Replayee.
 
Metal Gear Solid Delta - we longed for the Fox Engine pachinko version for years and this arguably looks even better. And it's built on the original game 1:1 so you know they can't fuck it up.

Ninja Gaiden 4 - it's not enough that it's the return of Ninja Gaiden, this is also Platinum Games giving us a pseudo-sequel to Metal Gear Rising. Looking like a very promising marriage of the strengths of both.

Death Stranding 2 - DS was possibly my game of the PS4 generation and DS2 looks like it's going to take the original concept to new heights. I've been blown away by the scale of the game in the last trailers. Couldn't really care less about the story given how weird it got by the end of DS but i'm still in it for the Kojima mindfuck. Nothing else like him in gaming.

Mario Kart 9 - I put an unholy amount of time into MK8, which was a stunningly feature packed game that pretty much perfected the kart racing formula. I'm wondering how Nintendo can mix it up now. If it's a Switch 2 launch title then of course i'll be picking it up when I buy the console.

Okami sequel - not much more really needs to be said about this. I just find it absolutely insane that Kamiya is now back home at Capcom and they are actually allowing him to do this. One of those childhood wishes like the Final Fantasy VII remake or a Shenmue 3 (errr) that actually came true.

Project Century - Yakuza is getting a bit long in the tooth and feels like it needs a reboot. After years of spin-offs and excessively leaning into the lolsozany side of the series, this new IP looks like it will finally bring back the grittiness of early Yakuza with a hint of Sleeping Dogs.

Project 007 - A James Bond game made by the Hitman developer is such a perfect match that I want to shake the hand of whoever pitched it. The 4 year wait since it was announced is getting unbearable.

Gears of War: E-Day - I did not give a shit about Gears since 3. Like Halo, the attempts to keep the story going after wrapping it up so succinctly just felt awkward. Now they are returning to its roots, abandoning all of that nonsense from the last couple of games in favor of a Reach-style prequel. Seeing old school Gears made in Unreal Engine 5 is a very exciting prospect.

Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake - This is a wildcard as Remedy have made some very questionable storytelling decisions in recent years. I really do not want them to change anything about the story. Really it should be almost impossible now that James McCaffrey has passed away. If they end up re-casting Max, i'm out. But if it's basically going to be the same story and voiceover, in their Northlight engine, with Max Payne 3 gameplay, then it could be incredible.
 
Only three games that come to mind...all are close to being released too (within 6 months):

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Doom: The Dark Ages
Hell is Us
 
Doom The Dark Ages
Borderlands 4
The Outer Worlds 2 with gray colors environment
Hunter x Hunter fighting game
Demon Slayer fighting game
Grand Theft Auto VI.
 
There are.

I am hyped for:


Khazan The Last Berserker
Elden Ring Nightreign
Ghost of Yotei
Death Stranding 2
Phantom Blade Zero
GTA6
The Witcher 4


I am also interested on:

AC Shadows (I hope it doesn't suck as much as I think it might)

Expedition 33 (I used to love turn based rpgs, but eventually I got tired of them, so I hope I can enjoy this one, the art style seems great)

South of Midnight (I will definitely check it out on gamepass, it seems unique)

Lost Soul Aside (I like action games, this one seemed cool a couple of year ago when it was announced)

Ninja Gaiden 4 (I like NG a lot... But current Platinum... I hope for the best)

Hell is Us (Seems cool... But also seems a little boring)

Intergalactic (I need to see the gameplay of the combat and exploration)

Crimson Desert (I am hoping for a demo)
 
As a Wii U owner, I have been waiting for Mario Kart 9 for years. I really hope it's day 1 launch.

Also, GTA 6 is the only other thing. Every thing else could be held off till next year if that comes out.

I am interested on more but it's a wait-and-see for everything else.
 
The rest of 2025 is looking pretty dry for me unless Nintendo starts announcing stuff (hopefully Switch 2 stuff).
Otherwise just Capcom Fighting Collection Vol 2 in May and then Borderlands 4 in September.
A little FF14 sprinkled in here and there when new patches drop.
 
Several for me.

  • DOOM: The Dark Ages
  • South of Midnight
  • The Last of Us Part II PC release
  • Mafia: The Old Country
  • Fable
  • Grand Theft Auto VI
  • Perfect Dark
  • Mario Kart 9
  • The next 3D Mario (has to be right around the corner)
  • Gears of War: E-Day
  • Marvel 1943
  • Judas
  • Intergalactic


I dunno, I just love games man. I don't really understand all the negativity around gaming over the last few years.

If you asked me this question a year ago I would have said GTA 6. After the disappointing trilogy remaster came out my optimism had me put GTA 6 on a back burner (I really don't know if it will be as good as the culture is hyping it to be. It's not Red Dead 2). For me currently it's Metroid Prime 4. I am just super excited to see Prime 4 finally come out. Any Metroid game that comes out through development hell has got me thankful that we are going to play and experience it. Prime remastered was awesome so I can't wait to jump into Prime 4. And my runner up is a tie between Death Stranding 2 and whatever Nintendo has cooking up for the Switch 2 Launch! It's going to be a good year for games and we are just getting started.

MGS3 Delta. I've replayed MGS3 a dozen times atleast. Just a graphics overhaul is fine by me.

Same.

I have the steelbook version from the UK pre-ordered. Day 1 for sure

AC Shadows
Death stranding 2
Mafia Old Country
Ghost of Yotei
Battlefield (if it even comes out this year)

I mean..maybe GTA 6, sorta a ok game /s lol MEGATON! GTA6 will date and define the generation the year it releases. I hope this year, but could be 2026 for sure.
 
Off the top of my head:
Doom TDA, Metroid Prime 4, Stellar Blade (PC),
Judas, GTA 6, ER Night Reign,
Onimusha, RE 9, MGS3 Delta, FF IX

I want to throw Gears EDay in there but I just don't trust that studio to make the game I want.

The lack of hype in this place is insane. Greatest trilogy in all of gaming finally gets a sequel after 18 years, and it's here in a few months. 6+ years in the making, it is going to be glorious.

Is that official art? Why is Solaire reflected in Samus' visor?

Only thing that can do is the next 2d mario. They just need to tune down the magical shit from wonder and just make it more 2d mario 3. i wish they went back to pixels
 
I rarely get excited but if this Oblivion remake rumour were true, I'd probably get a little twinge.
 
In terms of AAA?

Atomfall
Doom DA
MGS 3 Delta

Theoretically hyped for Gears prequel, but the writing room at The Coalition leaves A LOT to be desired. Wish we had some assurances everyone involved with the storyboarding and dialog of Gears 4 and 5 has an active restraining order preventing them from coming within 500 feet of any game development tools.

This is Retro Studios. You don't have to bitch about your game every 3 months. They will once again deliver an outstanding game. They always do.

Looking forward to it, as well as Xeno X.
