Or maybe something else! What are you hyped for?

Hades II.
I’m going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well
I totally forgot this was announced and now I can’t wait
Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can’t wait for this.
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.
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.
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.
Oh man that recent gameplay footage that came out looked 10/10. I haven’t been this excited for a new ip in awhile
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.
It releases in early access, so they aren’t claiming that it’s a finished product on launch.
I’m sure the devs are very aware that it doesn’t look good visually. As long as they focus on the systems first that’s fine by me personally.
City Skylines 2! The trailer looked good and they are including more in the base then CS1, plus it seems they have responded to some feedback on cars and including parking for the amount in the game
I knew I was forgetting something important in the post, thanks for reminding me that we have a release date for it!
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were ones that I always enjoyed trying to play when I was younger, but never seemed to be able to survive for more than a few minutes. So I’d give up in frustration. Maybe I should give them another go before 3 comes out.
You can get both of them for your phone for a few bucks as well. That’s how I played them for the first time and had a blast.
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.
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.
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.
Baldur’s Gate 3 that’s (finally) coming out of EA in August.
I’m definitely cautiously optimistic for starfield, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too high.
In general I’m excited by how many unknown but potentially interesting games that will come to the game pass. There were a couple of games that looked interesting in the xbox showcase but that I probably wouldn’t want to pay for, but if they are in the game pass I’ll definitely try them.
I’m looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn’t.
Can’t wait for Manor Lords.
Well I can wait because I think it’ll be great after the demo.
I’m so excited for Manor Lords. Looks like the type of medieval game I’ve been wanting for a long time.
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.
