Or maybe something else! What are you hyped for?
I’m looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn’t.
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.
Hades II.
I’m going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well
Path of exile 2 if it comes out this year. As well as life by you to finally give a sims competitor.
Oh man there’s a lot of games I’m looking forward to lol… Probably half of my Steam wishlist are just upcoming or Early Access games
Some of them include
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Cities Skylines 2
- Frostpunk 2
- Anvil Empires
- Elysian Eclipse
- Like a Dragon 8
- Stormgate
- Life by You
- Avowed
- Manor Lords
Cautiously optimistic about Starfield as well
Baldur’s Gate 3 that’s (finally) coming out of EA in August.
Ever since I watched the presentation about Starfield, I’ve been absolutely eager to see if it’s really as good as it comes across in the presentation. I am a long-time Assassins Creed player and of course I am looking forward to the new Assassins Creed. I hope that the story has a bit more content again and above all that everything is more historical and less magical. But I’m actually looking forward to the Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 the most. Despite all the justified criticism of Cyberpunk 2077, the game captivated me immensely and I had a lot of fun playing it.
I’m excited for Homeworld 3
Can’t wait for Manor Lords.
Well I can wait because I think it’ll be great after the demo.
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.
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.
Oh man that recent gameplay footage that came out looked 10/10. I haven’t been this excited for a new ip in awhile
Silksong is coming out some day, probably.
Surely this year… Surely.
No one has mentioned them here yet, but I’m really excited for Payday 3 to come out. Especially with how well they’ve supported Payday 2 throughout the years. I’m also hoping they bring back Overdrill so I can go for it this time around.
On a more indie scale, I’ve been waiting for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to release since I finished playing Jet Set Radio Future.
Not many for me as I’ve been off gaming for a while.
Star Trek Infinite.
Gord.
Manor Lords.
Manor Lords looks soooo good
The demo was great fun.
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.
Starfield and Armored Core VI in that order.
Been playing Skyrim for way to long and really hoping for a new game to scratch that itch.
I’m hyped for Starfield. Let’s hope it’s not another fallout 76. I’m waiting for some gameplay reviews before buying.
I really want to try armored core.
