Developer: Capcom
Release date: February 28, 2025

Monster Hunter Wilds is looking to be one of the best open world games heading our way in 2025. From the trailers that we’ve seen from the game across the latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast and Gamescom 2024, the upcoming title is going to be one of the most visually impressive entries in the entire series and give us a ton of new biomes and monsters to encounter and explore. Cooking mechanics in the game have also had an upgrade, and we can’t wait to explore the rest of the improvements and changes that Capcom has made here.

Developer: Two Point Studios
Release date: March 4, 2025

Curation proves to be an excellent platform for Two Point to continue their wry sense of humor poking fun at highbrow establishments. A follow-on from Two Point Hospital (a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital) and Two Point Campus, here you get to create the exhibits of your dreams… providing you can make it function as a business. Experts can roam the world on your behalf scooping up more treasures (in an ethically dubious manner), and require some engaging management.

Split Fiction

Developer: Hazelight Studios
Release date: March 6, 2025

If cozy narrative-driven adventures are your bag, Wanderstop is an upcoming PC game to keep an eye on. You play as Alta, a fighter-turned-forest-dweller who now spends her time gathering items from the magical woodland to brew a variety of tasty teas to sell and share in what sounds like a beautifully relaxing, moving story about change, connection, and sharing warmth with others. Sign me right up.

Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Release date: March 20, 2025

The next RPG entry in Ubisoft's beloved stealth-action series is Assassin's Creed Shadows. Of all the upcoming Assassin's Creed games currently in development, this feudal Japan-set adventure is one for the Ghost of Tsushima fans out there to sink their katanas into. Riffing off Ubi Quebec's work on AC Syndicate, we will also get the choice between two protagonists - Japan's first Black samurai Yasuke, and more stealth-focussed shinobi Naoe - as we navigate an overlapping historical adventure of political mystery. Oh, and did we mention grappling hooks are making a comeback?

Developer: Koei Tecmo
Release date: March 21, 2025

This might be the 26th game in the cutesy crafting RPG series, but worry not as this is a complete fresh start. Exploring in order to gather materials for alchemy returns, but now you're more deeply trying to unravel a mystery about the land itself. Unlocking ruins will require you to level up and brew new items from your cauldron, and you'll also have to use your powers to create new gear and items that you can boost to become more powerful. While this entry is aiming to tell a deep story, the fun vibes are still in full force, making this an RPG that really feels like an escape.

Atomfall

Developer: Rebellion
Release date: March 27, 2025

One of the most exciting new PC games coming out in 2025 is Atomfall, especially to Fallout fans who have been dying to see a post-nuclear setting outside of the US. Set five years after the real-life 1957 Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England, this is an action survival game where you’ll have to explore a fictional quarantine zone, craft, and uncover some intriguing secrets and conspiracies along the way. Atomfall looks very very cool based on its setting and the promise of interesting narratives involving cults and rogue government agencies. It doesn’t have a firm release date just yet, but we know it’s scheduled to come out sometime in March 2025. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we know more.

InZOI

Developer: KRAFTON
Release date: March 28, 2025

When it comes to new games like The Sims to keep on your radar, inZOI looks the most promising. The upcoming PC game has everything you’d want out of a realistic life sim: a detailed character creator, advanced-looking building options, and a community where your characters (or, in this case, Zois) can thrive and craft their own stories. Originally inZOI was aiming for a 2024 release. However, it's now been confirmed that the game will arrive in March 2025 as an Early Access title.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

Developer: Naughty Dog
Release date: April 3, 2025

Whether The Last of Us 2 even needed a remaster is a moot point when this is the only version PC is going to get, and it's about time too! Ellie fully takes the lead in this sequel, which revolves around a long and arduous journey, before the perspective then becomes flipped. While less focused than the fantastic original game, combat gets a huge, tactile upgrade that results in some of the best third-person shooting even committed to pixels. Plus, this enhanced edition comes with a solid run-based roguelike mode and other extra materials.

South of Midnight

Developer: Compulsion Games
Release date: April 8, 2025

After a year of no updates we now finally have a release date for South of Midnight. And, after a period of silence, this upcoming title came back swinging and has set itself as one of the most exciting new games this year. A new trailer introduced us to the folklore-steeped world of this deep South action adventure, filled with giant alligators and monsters. The We Happy Few developer seems to have a hit on their hands with this one!

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy

Developer: Too Kyo Games, Media.Vision Inc.
Release date: April 23, 2025

Stylistically a spiritual successor to Danganronpa, you're once again thrown into a school under siege, in which hyper-violent scenes butt heads with quirky anime antics. There's plenty of mystery to unravel when it comes to just what is going on. Between that pondering you'll have to deal with the titular "defense" part of the proposition, which takes the form of strategic, grid-based battles. The cast of students will have to hold out for a hundred days if they're to figure out the truth, but just how many of the fifteen will make it through to the end?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Developer: Sandfall Interactive
Release date:
April 24, 2025

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an exciting new PC games heading our way in April. We got our first proper look at the game during the Xbox Developer Direct 2025 showcase, and it seems like a visual treat. Taking inspiration form classic JRPGS and Belle Époque France you’ll get to explore a stunning world as you control a team tasked with destroying a powerful enemy known as the Paintress. Not only are there a ton of different builds available to play around with characters but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also combines turn based combat systems with real-time mechanics, giving us gameplay that looks like a JRPG and Elden Ring baby. This is easily one of the most unique looking upcoming games of the year.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Developer: SNK
Release date:
April 24, 2025

While The King of Fighters has returned now and then, and even Samurai Shodown got to slash back, it's been 26 years since we got our last full Fatal Fury game. All about fast-paced clashes and devious counters, all the fighters here have strengths and weaknesses you can bring to the table in order to get the most out of them for certain match-ups, enhanced this time through the REV system. This also jumps the pixel art series into 3D (though much of the roster have already been modelled thanks to their appearances in KoF), with a gorgeous art style to match. Flashy, frantic, this is a heck of a fighter.

Days Gone Remastered

Developer: Bend Studio and Climax Studios
Release date: April 25, 2025

Days Gone 2 may still be only a dream right now, but at least there is a fancy remaster of the iconic zombie game on its way! Revealed during the February 2025 State of Play showcase, the Days Gone Remaster looks breathtaking and includes some new exclusive features such as DualSense support and new accessibility features. While remasters are pretty hit or miss, this seems like a great April pick-up for all horror fans. However, before you run to your PCs to buy this one, if you already have the game on PS4 it will only cost you $10 to upgrade it to this new version there.

Metal Eden

Developer: Reikon Games
Release date: May 6, 2025

If you love playing all the top FPS games that Steam has to offer, then you'll want to pay attention to this new PC game. Metal Edan follows a Hyper Unit Aska, who are sent on a suicide mission to try and save their citizens. However, when they venture onto Moebius, an orbital city, they are met with carnage. From clips and trailers for this upcoming title, we've seen plenty of bright colors, cybernetic warfare, and fast gameplay on display. It looks like a wild, fun time and should be on your radar if you love blasting robots with guns.

The Midnight Walk

Developer: MoonHood
Release date: May 8, 2025

The Midnight Walk has been on our list of the most anticipated horror games for months now, and thankfully, we now know that it will be heading our way in May. This upcoming PC game is oozing with style, thanks to its striking art design that makes you feel as if you are venturing through a stop-motion nightmare. Seriously, it feels like a darker version of Coraline! With your lantern friend named Potboy, you'll have to light your way through a strange world and face monsters ready to pull you into total darkness. We love everything about the look of this game and personally can't wait to pick it up for ourselves come May 8.

Doom: The Dark Ages

Developer: id Software
Release date: May 15, 2025

Doom has some of the best FPS games in existence, so of course, we’re excited about the next entry in the franchise, Doom: The Dark Ages. The prequel to the Doom reboot and Doom Eternal, Doom: The Dark Ages, sees the Doom Slayer fighting for the Kings and gods in a fantasy-like setting (complete with demon dragons). During the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct, we learned of the May release date and also saw a series of trailers packed with shotgun blasts and a very intriguing skull gun. We're very excited to get back to slaughtering the forces of hell.

Dune: Awakening

Developer: Funcom
Release date: May 20, 2025

Arrakis is the perfect sci-fi location for a massive online survival game, and Dune: Awakening plays in that space well. From Funcom, the developer behind the criminally underrated Conan Exiles, this hugely ambitious entry likewise leans hard into all the unique elements the Dune universe can bring into the fold of the genre in order to avoid feeling like just a licensed reskin. We've been itching for this one for a long time, and it's just the thing to tide us over until the third Dune movie.

Elden Ring Nightreign

Developer: FromSoftware
Release date: May 30, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign is set to bring us back to the Elden Ring universe in a standalone multiplayer co-op action-adventure. In either team of three or solo, you'll have to try to survive on an ever-changing map with a day and night cycle. At the end of each night, you face a big boss battle, and the further your progress, the more challenges will await you.

Date Everything

Developer: Sassy Chap Games
Release date: June, 2025

Ever had the urge to romance your fridge? Ever wanted to confess your love to your couch? If you answered yes, then the upcoming dating sim Date Everything was made for you. By putting on magical glasses you’ll see random household objects transform into hot 2D characters for you to woo and get to know. There’s a 100 different characters to discover, the game is fully voice acted, and it looks chaotic in the best kind of way. There’s also multiple endings, so you’ll be easily entertained by this title for the rest of the year if you really get into it!

Tales of the Shire

Developer: Weta Workshop
Release date: July 29, 2025

Have you ever wanted to step into the shoes of a hobbit? Your dreams of second breakfast, elevenses, and plenty more hearty hobbit meals will be yours in Tales of the Shire. As a cozy life sim that leans heavily on its cooking minigames, you can expect to spend a lot of your new Middle-earth life to be built around mealtimes. You only need to check out our Tales of the Shire preview to see what all the fuss is about, and thankfully, we don't need to wait much longer to get our hands on this upcoming PC game.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Developer: Konami
Release date: August 28, 2025

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the long-awaited remake of Metal Gear Solid 3. According to the developer, it's going to be a faithful story recreation but offer players evolved gameplay and visuals. However, looking at some of the screenshots so far, it's a pretty faithful portrayal of some of those original environments, too.

Borderlands 4

Developer: Gearbox Software
Release date: September 23, 2025

After years of waiting, we finally have news that Borderlands 4 will be heading our way in September 2025! That's right, more looter shooter action is coming. However, this time, we won't be traveling around Pandora. It's been confirmed that there will be a new alien planet for us to explore in the upcoming PC game, so if you were expecting a repeat of the best Borderlands games, sorry, but this is going to be a fresh experience. We can't wait to learn more!

Directive 8020

Developer: Supermassive Games
Release date: October 2, 2025

Everyone knows that October is officially spooky season, so what better way to celebrate than with a new scary interactive story? That's right, Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology developer Supermassive Games has another horror game in the works. However, this time, we'll be flung into a sci-fi spooky take with a story reminiscent of some of the best horror movies like The Thing and Alien. In this new PC game, a crew wakes up from stasis unexpectedly, only to find that their ship has been invaded by an alien who can mimic its prey (where is Kurt Russel when you need him, right?). Like all other Supermassive Games experiences, the main objective is survival here, and we can't wait to see more of the title's gameplay.

Release date: TBC 2025

With Ark 2, Studio Wildcard is building on the success of Ark: Survival Evolved and delivering a massive sequel with heaps of potential. The campaign is set to star noted Ark superfan Vin Diesel, while the game itself will feature a larger play space, more dynamic world events and dinosaur AI, and overhauled progression and survival systems. With Ark 2 being built with Unreal Engine 5, this could be one of the best-looking games of 2024 and easily a new addition to our best dinosaur games list – now we're just waiting on a release date.

Release date: Q1 2025

Trapped on a far-flung planet, Jan Dolski can only rely on himself to make his escape. His many, many shelves. Thanks to cloning equipment, he can replicate himself in order to get more hands on deck to get everything needed to get free. Able to tweak his own history to alter the resulting clone, he plays with the many choices he made in life to create versions more suited to certain tasks. Yet, all these choices may make co-existing difficult. How do you settle conflicts with your own selves?

Developer: inXile
Release date: TBC 2025

One of the coolest-looking upcoming PC games is Clockwork Revolution, a steampunk action adventure that resembles BioShock Infinite. There's no official release date just yet, but what we saw at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase gives us reason to get excited. Right now it's expected to launch sometime in 2025 or later, so watch this space...

Crimson Desert

Release date: TBC 2025

If gritty third-person action is your vibe, you'll love Crimson Desert.

You only need to check out our Crimson Desert preview to see how much this open-world has to offer, from combo-based combat encounters to a sprawling world to explore and conquer.

Developer: Team Jade
Release date: TBC early 2025

Described as the love child of Battlefield meets Call of Duty, one of the best-loved FPS series is returning for more cover shooter shenanigans in Delta Force (formerly Delta Force: Hawk Ops). With a new developer at the helm, Delta Force puts a fresh spin on the extraction shooter series that saw massive popularity back in the late '90s and early 2000s, throwing the player into either a massive map battle royale or narrative-led campaign mode with an arsenal of powerful weapons at your disposal. What's more? It's fully movie-licensed for all your Black Hawk Down fans. It's yet to receive a firm release date, but with testing continuing through October and a release window aiming for the first quarter of 2025, it feels like we don't have too long to wait for more Delta Force.

Digimon Story Time Stranger

Developer: Media. Vision Inc.
Release date: TBC 2025

Who needs Pokémon when we have a new Digimon game to look forward to this year? Sorry, Nintendo, but our monster-taming sights are firmly set on the upcoming PC game Digimon Story Time Stranger for now. In the upcoming JRPG, you'll have to discover the mysteries surrounding the collapse of your world, kickstarting an adventure that will send you across parallel dimensions and into different realities. While we don't have a solid release date for Digimon Story Time Stranger just yet, we do know that it will be heading our way sometime this year. So, stay tuned for updates!

Fable 4

Developer: Playground Games
Release date: TBC 2025

Playground's upcoming RPG, Fable 4, will be the fourth ever game in the series, but the very first under the new developer after Lionhead Studios folded six years after Fable 3. We'd originally thought it a long-awaited sequel, but more recent cinematic sneak peeks from Playground Games have revealed Fable to be more of a series reboot. It's still set in the glittering medieval fantasy kingdom of Albion, and still features that crass tongue-in-cheek British sense of humor we loved about the original trilogy, but the new Fable game is set to bring it into the 2020s with style. There's still no word yet on when the game might launch, but we're keeping an ear to the ground for this one.

Little Nightmares 3

Developer: Supermassive Games
Release date: TBC 2025

Bandia Namco's unnerving horror-platformer series is back. We heard from Little Nightmares 3 developer Supermassive Games at Gamescom 2023, where they told us all about what it's like to be spearheaded the third instalment. We know the first chapter takes us through the arid plains of Necripolis, with the horrifying Monster Baby chasing down our two new protagonists Low and Alone. LN3 will also be the first in the series to go the multiplayer route, with it being an optional game mode if you want to play the game with friend via local couch co-op.

Ninja Gaiden 4

Developers: PlatinumGames Inc. / Team NINJA
Release date: TBC 2025

Grab your masks and get ready to hide in the shadows because Ninja Gaiden 4 has been announced and will be heading our way sometime in 2025. If you are unfamiliar with the Ninja Gaiden series, these are the games to play if you are after a ninja hack-and-slash experience. The series is iconic, and now the story is being expanded to usher in a new generation. In Ninja Gaiden 4, you'll get to play both the legendary Ryu Hayabusa and the new protagonist Yakumo. From what we've seen so far, the action looks incredible. Now, we just need to wait for a firm release date!

The Outer Worlds 2

Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Release date: TBC 2025

The Outer Worlds 2 is bringing us to Arcadia for new adventures with a fresh colony that's said to have "skip drive" technology. Promising to carry on the first entry's signature sense of humor, Obsidian's follow-up will introduce a new cast of companions with their own dreams to fulfil - and we can choose whether or not we help them. Taking on the role of an "Earth Directorate" agent, we'll investigating dangerous rifts and be presented with choices that will let us shape our own sci-fi-shaped journey.

Tears of Metal

Developer: Paper Cult
Release date: TBC 2025

Tears of Metal screams “Freedom” as its clans descend on the battlefield in a roguelike co-op hack n slash. The almost comic-book art style hides brutal skirmishes between legions of medieval Scottish fighters, but there’s a common enemy afoot. A fiery meteor has crashed into a distant island, and our battalions are facing an oncoming invasion like no other. It’s not all stabby stabby, though, the trailer gave us a first look at some interesting management and strategy mechanics that will serve each run as well. Tears of Metal is due to land in 2025 on Steam.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Developer: The Chinese Room
Release date: TBC 2025

It's been two decades since the first game, but Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 is intended to launch in early-2025. The much-anticipated sequel to a cult classic RPG, Bloodlines 2, has emerged from a rocky developmental period with tons to show for it, including post-alpha gameplay, four playable vampire clans upon release, and plenty of planned DLC to boot.

Bloodlines 2 is a "neo-noir thriller" that will see us step into the shoes of customizable main character Phyre, a recently re-awoken Elder vampire who finds themselves in the middle of a very different Boston Camarilla than they remember. As a powerful child of the night grappling with the newness of the modern world, this might just be the vampire RPG experience we've been waiting for since Troika Games' original.

33 Immortals

Developer: Thunder Lotus
Release date: TBC 2025

This Hades-like isometric roguelike is casting its net wide, as 33 Immortals is a 33-player hack slash action adventure where you rally against almighty power. But compared to Supergiant's intimate escape from the underworld, this will be a battle of massive proportions, as all 33 of you must work together to survive hordes of monsters before going toe-to-toe with the deities themselves. While Thunder Lotus planned to launch this in 2024, Xbox has since confirmed that we'll have to wait until later in 2025 to play this chaotic trip through the realms.

Windblown

Developer: Motion Twin
Release date: Q4 2025

One upcoming PC game currently in Early Access that we have our eye on is Windblown, a new rogue game in development from the studio that brought us Dead Cells. On its Steam page, Motion Twin describes it as a "lightning-fast action roguelite" where you "become the ultimate killing machine". That's pretty heavy stuff for a game that looks this cute and vibrant. Windblown will also support multiplayer mode on launch, making it one to watch for any hack n'slash fans who like to squad up.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Developer: Rebel Wolves
Release date:
TBC

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an exciting new RPG from newly formed studio Rebel Wolves - which is made of former The Witcher devs. Set in 14th century Europe which is rife with plague and conflict, you take on the role of Coen, a half human, half vampire, who sets out to try and save his family. Whether you embrace your vampiric powers or your humanity is up to you as you face various foes. Said to be the start of a new saga, this looks set to be one new RPG to watch out for.

Elder Scrolls 6

Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Release date: TBC

Ah, Elder Scrolls, just when we think it's over, you pull us right back in. However, five years after the announcement it was in the works, fans are still to see the Elder Scrolls 6 release. Don't worry, though; this game is still on its way, and now that Starfield has launched, we know that Elder Scrolls 6 is next on Bethesda's schedule before they start working on other titles like Fallout 5. Currently, the most likely release date is 2026, despite the game initially targeting a 2024 release. So, hang in tight because there is still plenty of waiting ahead of us, it seems.

Fairgames

Developer: Haven
Release date: TBC

Fairgame$ - as it's officially styled - is a new heist game from Jade Raymond's new studio Haven. It's been born from the gang's desire to create a PvP game with emergent sandbox gameplay, where you'll be breaking into forbidden locations dotted all over the world. Prize open safes and vaults, fill your pockets, and even discover billionaire's hidden plans for secret stuff along the way.

Haunted Chocolatier

Developer: ConcernedApe
Release date: TBC

Following the unbelievable success of Stardew Valley, developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has the freedom to work on whatever he wants to. Which is one reason why Haunted Chocolatier has so easily captured our attention. In this upcoming RPG, we'll be taking on the role of a chocolate maker living in a fantasy castle, and we're already in love with it. Spooky settings, a cool visual style, and a smart iteration of the core Stardew systems make this one of the most highly anticipated new PC games out there - even if we have no idea when we could possibly be seeing it.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Developer: Team Cherry
Release date: TBC

Team Cherry started out by developing DLC for Hollow Knight, one of the best Metroidvania games of the modern era, and the scope of the project quickly spiraled out of control. But will we finally see it in 2025? The long-awaited sequel will feature all-new combat mechanics, characters, and worlds to learn and explore, and despite all these years of waiting, we're still excited to jump back in. Never fear, if there's more concrete release date news, we'll be updating as soon as we can.

Marathon

Developer: Bungie
Release date: TBC

Marathon is the revival of Bungie's shooter that was in development before Destiny. It's an extraction shooter, we guess in the vein of Escape from Tarkhov or Rainbow Six Extraction. We're already loving the art style, and with Bungie's shooting at the heart, this one is going to be one to pay attention to. Rumor has it the Marathon remake release date has been pushed to 2025, so it might be some time yet before we get our hands on Bungie's revival.

Developer: Arkane Studios
Release date: TBC

A standout moment from The Game Awards 2023 was the announcement that the upcoming Marvel game, Marvel's Blade, is in development. The teaser trailer lets on very little, save that the iconic vampire hero of comic book legend is to make his long-awaited return to video games at some point in the next few years. Being made in tandem with Xbox, it's not expected to load outside the Xbox Series X or PC platforms. It's a bummer for Sony fans, but good news for us PC players keen to sink our teeth into a dynamic single-player experience.

Developer: S-Game
Release date: TBC

Phantom Blade 0 is a hack-n-slash RPG that's "the spiritual rebirth of the original Rainblood". It's an Unreal Engine 5 creation, which is allowing it to be much larger and richer than the source material, without losing its core. Set in the Phantom World, you'll blend Chinese Kungfu, with occult arts, and other powers that make Phantom Blade 0 a little different. You play as assassin, Soul, who's been framed for murdering the patriarch of a powerful organization known only as The Order. Technically he's been brought back from the dead, but now only has 66 days left to find out who framed him in the first place.

Tides of Annihilation

Developer: Eclipse Glow Games
Release date: TBC

Tides of Annihilation is an upcoming hack-and-slash fantasy adventure, set in the backdrop of London in ruins. You'll play as Gwendolyn, the city's last survivor, and must face off against mystical bosses and enemies. Thanks to Tides of Annihilation's unique setting and stunning visuals, it's grabbed a lot of attention following it's trailer release during the February 2025 PlayStation State of Play showcase. It promises to be a grand adventure with fun combat mechanics, however we are currently still pretty light on gameplay details. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.

She Dreams Elsewhere

Developer: Studio Zevere
Release date: TBC

Thalia has found herself trapped within her own mind, having to face off against her anxieties and nightmares if she wants to stand any chance of freeing herself from a coma. Looking like a cross between Undertale and Earthbound, She Dreams Elsewhere has its own twists on combat, where you can customize your party members using charms. Building Connections with your pals will also enable you to learn more about them (which sounds a bit like Persona to us). We're already entranced by the sheer style of this one.

Skate 4

Developer: Full Circle
Release date: TBC

Skate 4 (now titled Skate) has been in the works for a while, since 2021, to be exact. But hey, most good things are worth waiting for. The iconic Skate series has let players explore on wheels and kickflip their way into stardom for years now. However, the new entry is going to change the game as we know it with its free-to-play format and fresh setting. While we still don’t have a release date for the upcoming skateboarding game, playtesting has been underway since July 2022, so it’s only a matter of time before we hear news. Stay tuned for updates!

Developer: Ghost Town Games
Release date: TBC

Stage Fright is the new co-op game from Overcooked developers Ghost Town Games. Promises plenty of its own blend of chaos for you and a pal to experience together, this two-player adventure sees you have to try and solve escape rooms, overcome obstacles, and get to the bottom of an ancient mystery. With a charming arty style, this is definitely one to watch if you're looking for something to play with a buddy.

Sword of the Sea

Developer: Giant Squid
Release date: TBC

You'd be forgiven if you thought this was Journey 2. It's close, and made by some of the same people. Sword of the Sea is brought to you by Giant Squid, which has delivered Abzu and The Pathless to date, and it sees you playing as a character called Wraith. You'll be zooming around an abandoned realm on a Hoversword (yes you read that right), exploring the Necropolis of the Gods, but also trying to avoid the leviathans that dwell there. It looks exceptionally beautiful and zen, and we can't wait to see more.

Witchbrook

Developer: Chucklefish
Release date: TBC

Will 2024 be the year we finally see Witchbrook, the new life sim from developer Chucklefish? We certainly hope so, as Witchbrook looks to be an utterly charming experience. You'll take on the role of a witch in training, and then be given the freedom to define your route to graduation. Stunning pixel art, deep progression systems, and smart expansions of everything Chucklefish learned working with ConcernedApe on Stardew Valley. Witchbrook looks like a magical adventure you won't want to miss out on.
