On the SteamDB auxiliary service, one can view a ranking of the most anticipated games. The resulting picture surprises some and impresses others. However, everyone expected the title Black Myth: Wukong to top Steam's most wished-for games list.

After the release of Hades 2, the game about the Monkey King confidently took the first place, with 318,000 users adding it to their wishlists. Its release is scheduled for August 20, 2024.
