  • Counter Strike 2 (Summer - Exact date unknown)

  • Armored Core VI (August 25)

  • Baldur's Gate 3 (August 31)

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.

[–] FrozenLama@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Last update December 2021 makes me sad. I hope he has more updates soon!

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 🤩

[–] toofarapart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Silksong is coming out some day, probably.

[–] simple@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Surely this year... Surely.

[–] hallowlik@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I'm going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well

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.

[–] ConvertCoffeeToCode@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] HarvesterOfEyes@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] death916@lemmy.death916.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

That's definitely my biggest one

Path of exile 2 if it comes out this year. As well as life by you to finally give a sims competitor.

[–] simple@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Life by You looked pretty rough last time they showed it, I hope they've polished it up a lot since then.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] fouc@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Baldur's Gate 3 that's (finally) coming out of EA in Auguste.

[–] WooChooTrain@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

I don't think I could give an answer I wouldn't walk back on later, I'm just happy to see such an interesting and competitive year for the industry. Really hope this trend continues.

[–] Asimo@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't wait for Manor Lords.

Well I can wait because I think it'll be great after the demo.

[–] theAndrewJeff@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I’m so excited for Manor Lords. Looks like the type of medieval game I’ve been wanting for a long time.

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] fraenki@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I'm waiting for

  • Cyberpunk 2077 DLC
  • Cities Skylines 2
  • Kerbal Space Program 2 (1.0 release)

But before that I need to buy a new computer. Mine's too weak.

[–] SoggyPigeon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Super excited for Elden Ring and Cyberpunk DLC

[–] apolinariomabussy@lemmy.calvss.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] gingerrich@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not many for me as I've been off gaming for a while.

Star Trek Infinite.

Gord.

Manor Lords.

[–] dracs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Manor Lords looks soooo good

[–] gingerrich@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

The demo was great fun.

[–] min0nim@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] influence1123@psychedelia.ink 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] beforan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] fstrelok@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'm looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn't.

[–] Linuturk@lemmy.onitato.com 2 points 2 years ago

I'm excited for Homeworld 3

[–] WallCactus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.

[–] bloodsangre7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Fanghole@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] neo_is_the_one@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely Armored Core! And then the Cyberpunk dlc, when Im done with Armored Core

[–] dracs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Starfield is on my list. No pre-order here. AAA don't have the best track record these days ;) CS2 - Loved the first one. Excite for this release.

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

Which unfortunately gets released shortly after Starfield. I need to clone myself.

[–] brainjuicey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Assassins Creed! Love the series

[–] toofarapart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't played some of the recent games, but I liked the old format and look forward to Mirage's take on it.

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Starfield and BG3 - I doubt Starfield will run on my PC though, and there's still awful GPU and CPU shortages in Europe :/

[–] zaktmt@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

FFXVI, Armored Core 6, Starfield (after that presentation, was highly skeptical before), Mortal Kombat 1, Alan Wake 2, and Spider-Man 2.

I think all of them look great. FFXVI is my most anticipated overall. Ever since it was revealed in 2020 I've been sold on that game.

[–] nromdotcom@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Starfield and Armored Core VI in that order.

Been playing Skyrim for way to long and really hoping for a new game to scratch that itch.

[–] ramius345@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I'm hyped for Starfield. Let's hope it's not another fallout 76. I'm waiting for some gameplay reviews before buying.

I really want to try armored core.

[–] reverie@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Life by You

[–] nlm@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] flibbertigibbet@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] any1th3r3@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

FF XVI, Starfield, Spider-Man 2 and Hellblade II are on my "most hyped for" list.
I haven't played the demo for FF XVI yet and I'm trying to keep away from spoilers and media until release day

[–] Awa@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Corepunk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d2eSk5Etz7M

It was announced several years ago. The development team was based in Ukraine. Since the military conflict started, production has drastically slowed. Most of the devs migrated to Greece. Been getting updates, but sporadically.

I am still holding hope for its release. From everything I have read/heard about the game, I believe the developers are trying to make sure they release a quality product, therefore part of the "slow to release" aspect.
