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.
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.
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.
Assassins Creed! Love the series
EAFC, CP2077 Phantom Liberty, Spider-Man 2, Inazuma Eleven Victory Road, The Division Heartland, SW Outlaws, Rise of the Ronin
Hades II.
I’m going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dare I say Silksong? The first game was perfect in so many ways, I’m really excited to see in what ways the improve and build on it.
Silksong? There’s no such thing as a game coming out called that. It doesn’t exist. It is, and always has been, a figment of your imagination. There has never been a studio called Team Cherry. It’s all lies.
Yes! I cannot wait. I hope we get difficulty settings this time, but if not I’ll just have my SO get me out of any sticky situations like he did for Hollow Knight lol (like that one grub in queen’s guarden… omg so much spiky death)
Agreed! The other enemy that troubled me a lot of were these enemies in Deepnest.
Number 1 for me are the Duke Nukem Collections for Evercade coming in November.
I played tons of duke3d as a kid so I’m excited to revisit it. But even more, I never got a chance to play the original DOS side-scrollers, so I’m pumped to get the new remastered versions. Even cooler that they’re the first Evercade exclusives.
I never played duke3d but I grew up playing the side scrollers. I didn’t know they were remastering those. Never heard of the Evercade and unfortunately another handheld isn’t for me.
However the VS looks like something I could install into my cars headunit along with my Roku for when I’m just chilling, and less maint. than my raspberry. Thanks for this post. I have something to look into here.
I’m a big fan of Evercade. “Plug and play” is a big part of their philosophy, there is definitely less messing around with the VS than there would be for a Pi or any other RetroArch thing one might create themselves.
If you’re okay with using Discord, I’d recommend dropping into the Evercade Discord if you have any questions or just wanna hang out - lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks (about Evercade specifically, or retro games in general), regular high score competitions, and it’s just a good vibe. You can find the link in the Evercade website if you’re curious.
