Everyone will shuffle their release schedules around to not release in the same window as GTA VI but GTA VI will get delayed into next year and everything will have to get reshuffled all over again.
Thereās that new Japan AssCreed coming out in like a week or something. I might play that at some point.
I am not up to date on whatās coming out this year.
Like itās already March and thereās GTA, Death Stranding and uhhā¦

I read that as a New Japan Assassinās Creed, as in the wrestling company, and was momentarily very intrigued.

The only ānewā game Iāve played is VF5:REVO. This year is mostly old fun so far
I went from Not Caring about New Games to froth for Tetris The Grandmaster Ominous Eye (Steam only 
) and Death Strander.
Hopefully this year we get the new game by the ex-Metal Slug that looks not good and Earthion by Ancient which looks fucking incredible.

Every time Koshiro posts another video, the froth froths even more froth.

The 10 seconds of footage they showed after announcing that Acquire is going to co-develop look pretty good, imo.

a half dozen games I like have already come out this yearā¦ thereās a bunch of unity stuff coming out that looks really good for the first time since like 2019ā¦ Iāll pay $500 for a new mario kart at some pointā¦ half life 3 is probably going to be announcedā¦ the whole year seems incredibly stacked with game releases I will like tbh
I forgot about Half-Life 3! That will be huge. I wonder if it will be PC only at first or if theyāll do console releases at the same time.
Steam VR2 exclusive probably

yeah I actually hope they use it to launch new hardware because Iām already holding back the windows 24H2 update to avoid deprecating my old Lenovo headset but I canāt do that past like October without going out of support iirc
anyway my list for this year is insanely long, Iām already playing Avowed, Monhun, Pirate Yakuza, the GTAV raytracing update, the PC ports of spiderman 2 and rebirth, and Split Fiction, looking forward to Skin Deep, Doom, Price of Flight, the poe2 full release, Rematch, new Sonic Kart, Shinobi/Ninja Gaiden sequels, Pathologic, new Robocop, deliver at all costs, promise Mascot agency, Fear FA 98, and thatās not counting GTA/Half Life/Switch 2/Death Stranding because those arenāt on platforms I can track yet

So far all I played this year is Falcom RPGs and this seems unlikely to change for the foreseeable future.
My god, what have I done ā¦

I took a screenshot of all the unreleased games in my Steam wishlist, at the end of the year we can forget to look back to see how many of them actually came out~
It feels like screenshot 1 is games I have posted about in this topic for years now, screenshot 2 is mostly games that have gone radio silent for a bit too long (the white gap is a game that actually came out but has 0 reviews, I liked its demo people are jerks >_> ), screenshot 3 is games that are very likely to release by the end of the year, and screenshot 4 includes at least one game thatāll likely release within the next month or so.
Iām pulling for the games in the first two categories to surprise me and exist

I need to come to terms with the idea I put significant time into like two games a year, at most

Death Stranding 2 sure looks like the kind of game I would buy a game console for, but Iām not going to do that.
I expect Wanderstop to actually be about something completely different than deconstructing cozy games. (wait this comes out in FIVE HOURS?)
Western games media trying to talk about 07th expansion in their Silent Hill f articles is probably going to kill me.
boy it sure would be nice for ONE of these thief/deusex/goldeneye style throwback FPS games to actually come out.

Iām not sure whatās more likely:
The New Story of Seasons trailer will show some innovative additions being made to the formula, resulting in backlash from The Fans, and they scale the deviation back to the point it might as well not exist.
or
I notice some minor action in a trailer, work out how thatās going to influence the gameās design, and know beyond a doubt that it will make the entire game experience miserable.

Iāll believe half life 3 and the new headset are real when I see either. And even then Iāll be skeptical until I have them in my hands.
After playing the demos, Iām looking forward to blue prince because I gotta see if it keeps cooking the whole way through, and The Dimhaven Enigmas which seems to be a maximalist myst-like from the folks who made the excellent Quern.
OH! Also development is starting up again on Khemia, the follow up to furry hunk-em-up VN Adastra. That said the pace those guys release at means we wonāt see it finished until 2027 at the earliest but a tigress can dream.

My actual guess is that if Half Life 3 is real, itāll be a flagship product for the new headset, but not like Alyx. A lot of the leaks for the new headset have centered it as a sort of steam deck with goggles, and the new controllers have de emphasized immersive expressive hand controls for a more conventional controller layout.
So my thinking is Half-Life 3 wonāt be an exclusive to VR but will be a thing they use to show off the āYOU CAN PLAY NORMAL GAMES ON THIS HEADSETā as the angle theyāre pursuing.
