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.
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 🤩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.
Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can’t wait for this.
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
Silksong is coming out some day, probably.
Surely this year… Surely.
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.
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.
I’m looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn’t.
Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m waiting for
- Cyberpunk 2077 DLC
- Starfield
- Cities Skylines 2
- Kerbal Space Program 2 (1.0 release)
But before that I need to buy a new computer. Mine’s too weak.
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.
Baldur’s Gate 3 that’s (finally) coming out of EA in August.

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.
