1. Elden Ring: Nightreign
Back in 2022, Elden Ring won the Game of the Year award at the TGA and in the 2024 event, we got an official teaser for its sequel. After its explosive release, FromSoftware’s masterpiece got a successful DLC as well. But now, we finally have confirmation of the next grand adventure, Elden Ring: Nightreign. It is set to be a massive expansion that promises to elevate the dark fantasy universe even further. The gameplay trailer teased new gameplay mechanics, deeper emphasis on storytelling, and an improved co-op experience.
2. The Witcher 4
CD Projekt Red’s announcement was undoubtedly one of the most hype moments of TGA 2024. After years, we are finally getting a new instalment for the Witcher franchise. The Witcher 4 is a new saga that puts Ciri as the protagonist, a bold move away from series favourite, Geralt. The trailer for the game showcases an impressive action packed sequence and a tone that meets its setting. Although the release date remains under wraps, anticipation for The Witcher 4 is already through the roof.
3. Borderlands 4
Gearbox Software’s software upcoming Borderlands entry is apparently the “most ambitious Borderlands game yet”. Borderlands 4 is set to release sometime next year with a new quirky adventure and the iconic style. New mechanics, next gen fidelity, and the beloved co-op experience return in 2025, so fans of the looter shooter genre should definitely look out for this one.
4. Outer Worlds 2
2025 has a stacked lineup of highly anticipated announcements, with Obsidian Entertainment’s new title being one of them. The Outer Worlds 2 got an official trailer, bringing a sequel to the acclaimed indie exploration game. We can expect the latest instalment to feature new and improved graphics along with a deeper narrative and refined (and fresh) gameplay experience.
5. Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Capcom had a surprising announcement during TGA 2024, but it was one that I am the most excited about. Having played the third entry over a decade ago, I can’t wait to see what Onimusha: Way of the Sword has to offer. The franchise never got the love it deserved and this reboot will likely bring in new fans. After two whole decades, the iconic samurai action adventure game returns with next gen graphics. Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be releasing in 2026.
