Grand Theft Auto VI

One of the most anticipated games in recent years, GTA VI, is tentatively set for release in 2025. Rockstar Games will introduce a sprawling open world that spans multiple cities, including the iconic Vice City. Promised features include advanced NPC interaction mechanics, a unique weather system, and an updated multiplayer mode that will replace the current GTA Online.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the few modern RPG franchises that immerses players in a realistic medieval setting, rich with authentic historical details from the 15th century.

The first game offered a brutal world where the protagonist was merely a pawn in a vast stream of events. The sequel promises to surpass the original in every way.

The open world will be twice as large, and NPCs will respond to player actions more realistically. Gameplay will also be diversified with the introduction of primitive pistols and crossbows. Expected on all major platforms on February 11.

Marvel's Wolverine

Insomniac Games, the developers of Marvel’s Spider-Man, continue to expand their superhero game lineup. This time, the spotlight is on Wolverine — one of Marvel’s most popular characters, especially following the hit Deadpool and Wolverine.

The game promises cinematic combat akin to Spider-Man, a deeply developed storyline, and the dark, adventure-filled atmosphere characteristic of this hero. The game is slated for exclusive release on PlayStation 5 toward the end of the year.

Resident Evil 9

The yet-to-be-announced installment of Resident Evil is shaping up to be the most ambitious game in the series, in terms of both gameplay and story. Unfortunately, all information comes from leaks.

Insiders suggest the game will feature multiple main characters, including Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris, and Claire Redfield. The gameplay is expected to evolve, becoming more dynamic than in previous titles.

Capcom has fine-tuned its RE Engine while working on Dragon’s Dogma 2, and this technology will underpin the new Resident Evil. While the release date has been delayed due to development challenges, the game is still worth the wait.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

After the smaller spinoff Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the series is returning to a vast open world. Developers are sticking to the tried-and-true formula of the RPG trilogy: skill trees, numerous side quests, and a nonlinear storyline. However, a new feature includes two controversially discussed playable characters with different combat styles.

Fans are particularly excited about the setting, as they’ve been waiting for a feudal Japan-themed Assassin’s Creed since the first part. Let’s hope their patience pays off.

Shadows was initially planned for November but was postponed for further refinement. The release is scheduled for February 14.

DOOM: The Dark Ages

The release of a new Doom installment is always a major event for shooter fans. In The Dark Ages, the backstory of the Doom Slayer is expected to unfold.

Set in a world reminiscent of medieval Europe, the game will feature new weapons such as a shield-chainsaw and a shotgun firing skull fragments. The protagonist will also have the ability to ride a dragon and pilot a giant mech. With these features alone, anticipation is at its peak, though the release date remains undisclosed.

Death Stranding 2

Hideo Kojima returns with the sequel to his ambitious project. Death Stranding 2 will delve deeper into the concept of human connections in a post-apocalyptic world. The game promises new mechanics, a gripping narrative, and stellar performances by Norman Reedus and Léa Seydoux. The title will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive for the first few months.

Avowed

A new RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, often referred to as the "long-awaited competitor to Skyrim", will release on February 18. Set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, the game will feature a first-person perspective and a focus on combat magic.

Avowed is expected to deliver a deep story, a vibrant world, and extensive player choices, living up to its reputation. We can’t wait!

Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom is preparing a new installment in its legendary series. Monster Hunter Wilds will offer players even more expansive open worlds, improved hunting and crafting systems, and new monster species.

The game’s standout feature is its living, breathing world. Monsters will change their behavior based on whether they’re in a pack or alone, while weather changes will affect not only resources but also NPCs, forcing them to adapt to the conditions. The game will be available on all platforms on February 28.

Ghost of Yotei

A new project from Sucker Punch transports players to feudal Japan, this time to Hokkaido. Ghost of Yotei will continue the spirit of Ghost of Tsushima but with some changes.

Gameplay will emphasize survival, weather, and interactions with wildlife. Developers aim to enhance graphics and make the world feel even more alive. The protagonist, Atsu, will wield single-shot rifles, pistols, and dual swords. The game is slated for release in Q3 2025.

The year 2025 will delight gamers with a variety of genres, ambitious projects, and the return of iconic franchises. Whether it’s RPGs, action games, or adventure titles, each of these new releases has the potential to become a highlight of the year. Countless hours of unforgettable gaming experiences await. New worlds are on the horizon!
