The gaming industry is so lively this year, with a bunch of blockbuster games coming online. It’s a carnival year for players! It’s only been half a year, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Twin Shadows have already had a great start, raising everyone’s expectations. However, this is just an appetizer, and there are still a lot of great games waiting to be released! One of the biggest highlights is undoubtedly GTA 6, which has already taken the spotlight as the most anticipated game of the year .Today, let’s take a look at the 10 most anticipated games in 2025.
On April 24, there is a very interesting game called “Light and Shadow: Expedition 33”. This is a turn-based RPG game, but it is a little different. It has a real-time mechanism and is made with Unreal Engine 5, so the graphics must be good. It tells the adventure story of the protagonist Gustav leading an expedition to destroy the “Painted Mother” and put an end to the death painting. Unlike ordinary turn-based games, when the enemy moves, you have to be quick to dodge, jump or parry. Quick reaction can also trigger a super fierce counterattack.
On May 15th, players who like fast-paced shooting have something to look forward to, because “Doom: Dark Age” is coming! This time the classic fast-paced battles are moved to the Middle Ages. We have to play the role of the Doom Slayer, holding a super shotgun and various new weapons on a battlefield full of demons, fighting against the army of hell. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
On May 30th, two games were released on the same day. The first game was Elden Ring: Reign of Darkness. Although it inherited some enemies and weapons from Elden Ring, the gameplay was completely changed. It focuses on multiplayer survival, exploring mazes, fighting monsters and upgrading, and challenging powerful enemies. These are all the core fun of RPGs, and it must be super exciting to play.
The other one is our domestically produced “Lost Soul”, which took ten years to make. It is an action-adventure game with fantasy elements and realistic painting style. The combat style is fast and gorgeous. When fighting the BOSS, various weapons and skills are connected, which is very enjoyable to watch.
On June 5, the old IP released a new game”Mario Kart: World”. The biggest highlight this time is that it has been changed to an open world. All the tracks are on a large map, and you can freely shuttle between tracks. There are racing tracks, cities, deserts, ice and snow areas, and they will change with time and weather. The best thing is that it can support 24 people playing together, the most ever. Invite a group of friends to go online and have fun.
On June 26, Hideo Kojima is back with “Death Stranding 2”! Kojima’s games have always been known for their great plots, and this sequel continues Sam’s story, delving further into the themes of “connection” and “loneliness”. The huge open world is full of secrets, and the gameplay and challenges are also richer. Just for Kojima’s reputation, you have to give it a try.
On August 28, the classic remake is here, “Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake”. Although it is still the original plot and world view, the graphics and sound effects are directly pulled to the top level. The vegetation in the jungle has become super dense and super detailed, and the sense of substitution is stronger when sneaking. The textures of characters, ground, and rocks have also been optimized a lot, and the whole texture is different.
In the fall, the much anticipated “GTA6” is finally going to be released! As a new work in the “GTA” series, the open world is definitely bigger and more vivid than before, and the plot, graphics, and gameplay are expected to have major breakthroughs. This is a masterpiece that many players have been waiting for a long time.
There are two more models that have not yet been released, but they are also worth looking forward to.
One is “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond”, which still features the classic exploration and combat gameplay. The protagonist Samus is trapped on the mysterious planet “Bros” and has to fight enemies while scanning ruins to find a way out. Sci-fi fans should not miss it.
The other is “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra”, an action-adventure game set in Paris during World War II. Both Captain America and Black Panther can play, with movie-level graphics and immersive plot. Marvel fans just need to get ready and go!
