Two games actually. Biggest Warhammer 40k titels this year, at least one is.

Dawn of war 4, planned release date 17.sept 2026. Hopefully a good successor to DOW 1 and 2. Though odd that they skipped 3.

Second one is Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 unknown release date as of yet. It's total war game with 40k skin, not much more needed for a good game.

War of the Worlds

One of my favorite sci-fi movies.

Hello Games' new Co-Op game Light No fire and Big Walk by House House.

It seems that Light No Fire is in development hell, unfortunately.

I guess GTA VI, too, but not really.

The Wayward realms!

It's supposed to be a spiritual successor to daggerfall made from some of the original elder scrolls team members, unfortunately one of which recently passed away.

Still have until the 1st to back their Kickstarter and get alpha access next month.

I'll probably catch some hate for this one, but also Squadron 42 from the not so loved star citizen devs. Seeing what star citizen can do when it's working though has me pretty excited to see what a single player game, that doesn't rely on servers that are perpetually on fire, will be like.

I know Paralives is in early access, but I'm watching it for now!

I'm interested to see how Wolverine is. And there's supposed to be a 2D Castlevania game coming soon that's looking good. I'm kinda interested in the Metal Gear collection, but I doubt I'll pay full price for any of these. Everybody seems excited about 007 and GTA6 but idk how much I'll care about those.

I usually discover games well after everybody has moved on from them. I don't really bother keeping up with gaming news anymore. I just get stuff on sale and enjoy them later. A lot of bugs are usually fixed by then too. I'm just now starting Star Wars Outlaws and it's fine. Only a couple of minor bugs so far, and it's fun enough I guess.

The heavily rumored Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2. Unfortunately Nintendo will probably find a way to screw it up.

Starseeker:astroneer expeditions

I was really looking forward to Transport Fever 3. Until they announced a publishing partnership with Paradox Interactive... I had trust in the developing studio and was prepared to look past some issues on launch but I just don't trust Paradox. So now it really depends on how the launch goes and whether they keep their promises.

I like a lot of types of games. But remedy games are probably my favorite. New control game coming out this year. Control resonate It's at the top of my list. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3669870/CONTROL_Resonant/

Moonlight peaks. Basically an animal crossing like game but spooky and you can hook up with the villagers.

Also waiting for Light No Fire. Same creators as no man's sky. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719590/Light_No_Fire/

The new Bendy game. Bendy and the ink factory. Really liked the first two though the 2nd gave me mad motion sickness. Super dark spooky theme , rubber hose style. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2613150/Bendy_and_the_Ink_Factory/?curator_clanid=44893488

Very much anticipating the new silent Hill snowfall game. I really liked the last two.

The creators of Soma have a new one coming out. Ontos.

Looks promising. Soma also gave me mad motion sickness. Hoping this new one won't. https://youtu.be/ll4ZPxUzPhc

Into the Unwell

I saw it at Summer Games Fest last year. I participated in the closed beta playtest. My body is ready.

Planet Zoo 2

My next favorite game is probably an indie I haven't heard of yet, but for publisher titles wolverine but I'll wait until it is on sale

Registration opens in less than 48 hours!

Factorio 2.1 was announced today, so that :)

I have become a big Brok The InvestiGator sucker, so I am absolutely looking forward to the spin-off survival visual novel Celsius Strays.

In Brok The InvestiGator, rats are known as squealers and are banned from Atlasia, where the game takes place. That's a very minor spoiler since they're mostly a nothing burger group you basically don't see at all after the first chapter.

But in this spin-off game, which has a playable demo, you play as the chief of the squealers. The whole entire plot is centered around you making choices to help your colony survive as the hot months are coming soon. Your choices can end up getting more food, more things like bedding and clothing, machine parts to fix a water purifier thing, and I think one other thing I can't remember right now. All supplies needed for the survival of your people.

There's also a plot featuring a mystery character that is brought in during the chapter 1 demo, so I am absolutely pumped to learn about this mystery fellow and how he plays a role in what happens in chapter 1 that really kicks things in motion.

The moment I found out about it, I immediately downloaded the demo and played through it. For the most part, it feels like it has a pretty dark story with some minor comedic relief so far, with a little lighthearted moment in the end of the demo.

I was looking forward to first light then it came out and while I'm still looking forward to it I can't justify $100 on a single player game when I can drop $15 and get three times the playability.

At Fate's End looks beautiful and if Spiritfarer is any indication, it's going to have a tearjerker story that warms the heart.

Other than that The Adventures of Elliot looks promising for a modern JRPG.

For announced games, only Dragon Quest XII and Monster Hunter Wilds Ultimate really.

Also looking forward to what Xenoblade developer Monolith Software is gonna do next, but I don't plan on buying a Switch 2 anytime soon so it'll probably be a few years before I can even play that.

Kingmakers if it ever comes out...

Still waiting for gloomwood (spiritual successor to Thief) to come out of early access. Probably will be a few years yet, tho.
