I’m going to keep this post short as Rachel Kaser is giving this topic the real treatment. I wanted to weigh in on my own list of the most anticipated games of 2025. The list is in reverse order and the No. 1 most anticipated game is at the bottom of this post.
While a lot of this is subjective, it’s always critical for the game industry to see ahead and retain its optimism about the future. These titles are a mix of small and big games that should inspire gamers and those working in the game industry.
