Hades II.
I totally forgot this was announced and now I can’t wait
I’m going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well
Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can’t wait for this.
Haunted Chocolatier for me… The same guy who made Stardew Valley is making a new game. I look forward to it more than I am looking forward to Starfield.
Last update December 2021 makes me sad. I hope he has more updates soon!
He does more updates on twitter @ConcernedApe but it’s still sporadic. Last update was in April and he said he’s taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on the new SDV update.
I just recently got into Stardew Valley so this had not passed my radar yet, looks really promising from the early gameplay video!
Seems to be a more “active” game while retaining a lot of the charm, which I’m all for 🤩
Armored core 6! I’ve been waiting ages for a new installment. I’m so hyped for it that I took some vacation days for it.
Oh man that recent gameplay footage that came out looked 10/10. I haven’t been this excited for a new ip in awhile
That’s definitely my biggest one
As someone who played the first one back in the original Playstation, I’m beyond excited to get back into it. The trailers and gameplay details that came out recently are a huge part of that, too.
City Skylines 2! The trailer looked good and they are including more in the base then CS1, plus it seems they have responded to some feedback on cars and including parking for the amount in the game
I knew I was forgetting something important in the post, thanks for reminding me that we have a release date for it!
Silksong is coming out some day, probably.
Surely this year… Surely.
Path of exile 2 if it comes out this year. As well as life by you to finally give a sims competitor.
Life by You looked pretty rough last time they showed it, I hope they’ve polished it up a lot since then.
Assassins Creed! Love the series
I haven’t played some of the recent games, but I liked the old format and look forward to Mirage’s take on it.

It was announced several years ago. The development team was based in Ukraine. Since the military conflict started, production has drastically slowed. Most of the devs migrated to Greece. Been getting updates, but sporadically.
I am still holding hope for its release. From everything I have read/heard about the game, I believe the developers are trying to make sure they release a quality product, therefore part of the “slow to release” aspect.
Just played the demo of FF16 and yep, I’m sold. Can’t wait for next week now!
Excited to get to BG3 at some point too. I love the bioware games and people speak very highly of Larian.
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were ones that I always enjoyed trying to play when I was younger, but never seemed to be able to survive for more than a few minutes. So I’d give up in frustration. Maybe I should give them another go before 3 comes out.
You can get both of them for your phone for a few bucks as well. That’s how I played them for the first time and had a blast.
I don’t think I could give an answer I wouldn’t walk back on later, I’m just happy to see such an interesting and competitive year for the industry. Really hope this trend continues.
Talos principle 2. The first one was amazing. It’s also kind of funny to me that croteam pretty much only made boomer shooters, and then threw out one of the most philosophical puzzle games I’ve ever played. It’s like if after the transformer movies, Michael Bay decided to make 2001 a space odyssey, and then went back to making mindless transformers movies.
Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.
The new Hellblade and the Cyberpunk DLC most of all. Talos Principle will be interesting at well even though I didn’t finish the first one, something got in the way
Great list. And the first Talos principle was great (DLC less so). Also the ending had a great build up to the end, but the actual end cutscene was a little meh.
Dare I say Silksong? The first game was perfect in so many ways, I’m really excited to see in what ways the improve and build on it.
Silksong? There’s no such thing as a game coming out called that. It doesn’t exist. It is, and always has been, a figment of your imagination. There has never been a studio called Team Cherry. It’s all lies.
Yes! I cannot wait. I hope we get difficulty settings this time, but if not I’ll just have my SO get me out of any sticky situations like he did for Hollow Knight lol (like that one grub in queen’s guarden… omg so much spiky death)
