Dune Awakening
Dune Awakening is a survival MMO that is set in the wonderfully harsh world of Frank Herbert's Dune series. There is a twist here, though: Paul Atreides was never born, he would never go on to become… well, we won't spoil anything here, but suffice to say that things are more up in the air than they are in the original story. There is so much potential on Arrakis without Paul, which is where you come in. Fight to survive, then fight to thrive. Craft and build and carve out a corner of the desert planet to call your own. Closed betas are ramping up, and have even crossed over into a persistent nature, which, to us at least, spells that Dune Awakening is coming sooner rather than later.
- Dune Awakening release date: June 10, 2025
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
It's been nearly 19 long years, but we finally have a sequel to the cult classic bloodsucking RPG. The sequel takes us to Seattle, but the land of coffee and grunge has been given a coagulated coat of crimson as you unravel another rich mystery. Several years after it was first announced, we got a look at an extended gameplay trailer showing the game in action, and it was worth the wait.
While the original is remembered fondly for its engrossing narrative, it remained rife with bugs and disappointing combat. Luckily, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2's gameplay plunders immersive sims such as Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex to make its vampiric fisticuffs just as engaging as its story. Following a switch of developers, the release date has been pushed back, but we're more than ready to sink our teeth into it when it finally arrives.
Hades 2
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who didn't enjoy the first Hades; a pin-sharp action roguelike that saw you trying to escape the underworld. It had responsive, satisfying combat, fleshed-out characters, and some of the most gratifying boss fights we've ever seen. Well, Hades 2 looks to double down on what made the first so great, only this time you play as Melinoë, a daughter of Hades, and you are gunning for the god of time itself: Chronos. Players can get their hands on the Hades 2 early access right now, otherwise, you may have to wait until 2025 at the earliest. Take a look at our Hades 2 review if you are keen to know more.- Hades 2 release date: 2025 (early access)
Grand Theft Auto 6
The long and short of it is, while we've seen leaks of this hotly anticipated action game, we still know very little about it. We do know that it's been pushed back into 2026, has a Vice City setting, and its two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia, have a Bonnie and Clyde relationship, but that's it. For everything else we've spotted so far, check out our comprehensive guide linked below.
- GTA 6 release date: May 26, 2026
Skate 4
Skate 4, actually just named skate. to represent a series reboot rather than a direct sequel, is the long, long-awaited revival of the Skate series of games, over a decade on from Skate 3. The latest skateboarding game has been a while in the making, but developer Full Circle, part of EA, hasn't been quiet about the development process, keeping us in the loop as far back as early alpha footage. While there is no release date for skate. just yet, we do know it's set to arrive in Early Access sometime in 2025.
- Skate 4 release date: 2025 (early access)
2XKO
2XKO is a 2D fighting game set in the League of Legends universe, as the likes of Ekko and Darius go head-to-head in a champion brawl format. Naturally, the 2XKO characters are the star of the show, and their movesets and signature abilities should be very familiar to LoL fans. However, it's not just a one-on-one fight to the death. 2XKO matches are shaped by its team-based 2v2 tag system, which allows your chosen dynamic duos to take point and assist one another, pulling off last-minute combo-breakers to disrupt your opponent. Riot has also confirmed that 2XKO is free to play, and we expect its monetization to follow in the footsteps of League of Legends.
- 2XKO release date: 2025 (early access)
The Alters
How well can you manage different versions of yourself? That's the unique premise behind the space survival game The Alters. You'll need to scavenge resources from the planet you're stranded on to make clones of yourself but with minor tweaks based on the main character's history. Finishing your degree may mean that your Alter is more adapted to brainier tasks, while not leaving your hometown makes you more streetwise and tougher. You'll need a whole crew to flee certain doom, but there's no guarantee that everyone will get along. It's your job to find the right balance and survive.
- The Alters release date: June 13, 2025
The Outer Worlds 2
Obsidian's hit retro-futuristic role-playing game is getting a sequel. The initial teaser trailer didn't tell us much, simply showing off exotic alien landscapes and futuristic combat, but its wry, self-aware voiceover told us "the developers haven't finished the [main character's] design, or finished the story, or finished any gameplay that's actually ready to show". At least it's honest. Fortunately, a gameplay trailer, alongside a release window, arrived at the 2024 TGAs.
- The Outer Worlds 2 release date: Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Earthless
A sci-fi, roguelike deckbuilder? Yes, please. Earthless is a unique deck builder in which your cards will help (or hinder) your journey through space on a mission to save mankind. The space game will be released into early access, so if you want to be part of the Earthless development, you can wishlist now.
- Earthless release date: TBC
Soulframe
The Soulframe release date hasn't been announced yet, as we know Digital Extremes was focused on getting the next Warframe expansion, Dante Unbound, out of the way first. With that release date locked in for March 2024, hopefully, the team is now full steam ahead with Soulframe development. That said, there has already been some serious progress on the new game, set in a new fantasy world and inspired by real-world environmental issues, as well as Princess Mononoke and The Neverending Story.
Marvel's Blade
If you missed the glory days of Blade, back when Wesley Snipes portrayed the legendary Daywalker, you're in luck as Arkane Lyon is bringing the series back. In this single-player game, players assume the role of Eric Brooks, the half-man, half-vampire who has no problem confronting problems head-on with his sword equipped. Blade is a third-person game, marking a big change from Arkane Lyon's last games, Dishonored and Deathloop.
The Elder Scrolls 6
Bethesda finished its E3 2018 conference in the best way possible by announcing the upcoming PC game we all wanted: The Elder Scrolls VI. With only a teaser trailer of some rocky hills, ruined castles, and coastlines to go on, we're still waiting on a setting and a launch window. With Starfield now in orbit, we can assume (from Todd Howard's previous comments) that attention turns to Elder Scrolls 6 as the next Bethesda game to see the light of day. Just when that will be, though, is still a mystery.
The Witcher 4
The Witcher 4 is slated to be the first installment of a brand-new saga, so there's a high chance it won't actually be called The Witcher 4. While The Witcher 4 is likely years away, we can't wait to experience the follow-up to one of the best PC games of all time.
Haunted Chocolatier
The next game from Stardew Valley developer Eric 'Concerned Ape' Barone has been announced, and it's set in an enchanting fantasy town with plenty of spooky goings-on. It shares Stardew Valley's charming pixel-art style, though the gameplay focuses on combat rather than farming. As the eponymous chocolatier, you'll be tasked with fending off slimes to harvest ingredients for intricate chocolate creations, which you can sell and display in your own chocolate shop. Unfortunately, there's been no further word on when we can expect to get our sticky hands on Barone's upcoming game, but one thing's for sure: the day we open our chocolate shop can't come soon enough.
That's a lot of games to get excited for - luckily, our anticipation levels are boundless already. I mean, there are life games, RPG games, pirate games, and so much more on this list. Of course, it's tough to keep up with games as they come out, let alone remember the games we should save for. If you're not looking to break the bank, we list the best free PC games you could be playing while you wait.
