FG - Most anticipated games of 2025

[Luseth 2,013]

When typing up one of my posts yesterday it got me thinking about the potential of games being released this year. One frustrating thing with today's long dev times is that big titles tend to all hit in the same time frame and then we have years of smaller indie titles and such.

 

So this thread is just to discuss what you are excited for in the gaming world this year and why?

The obvious game for most will likely be GTA 6.

 

There's rumours of a Bethesda remaster of Oblivion and/or Fallout 3. Which would be nice but not really necessary.

 

Escape From Tarkov is due to release the final map and come out of Beta. 

 

Elders Scrolls 6 would be nice but unlikely.

 

If I think of more I'll come back. I'm actually in a sweet spot right now game wise so I'm in no real hurry for anything tbh

There's Civilization 7, Monster Hunter Wilds and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 all coming out in the next several weeks. Nothing ground-breaking but it's something early on at least. There's also Mafia The Old Country, Death Stranding 2 and Doom: The Dark Ages plus the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. Kinda wish there was a new Resident Evil out this year or even a remake but that doesn't seem to be the case and I expect GTA6 will be good to go towards the end of the year. 

 

I just hope devs aren't scared off about GTA releasing in Q4 and it becoming really dry industry-wide with 2026 push-backs and calendar clutter. Also could mean other titles are rushed for release in the summer. There's probably more happening in Q1/2 this year.
