Top 5 Anticipated Games 2024/2025

Recently, I asked Reddit users about upcoming games they're excited about. As someone who's been playing video games for many years, especially Path of Exile and the GTA series, I was curious to see what others thought. Here are the top five games that got people talking, along with their latest known release dates:

1. Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a sequel to Hollow Knight, a game where players explore a world of insects. Team Cherry, a small group of game makers from Australia, is creating this new adventure. In Silksong, players will control Hornet, a character from the first game.

Many fans are eagerly waiting for news about when they can play it. The game promises new areas to explore and new ways to move and fight. People love the hand-drawn art style and challenging gameplay of the first game, and they hope to see more of this in Silksong.

Release Date: No official release date yet.

2. Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI)

As someone who has played many GTA games, I'm really looking forward to this one. Rockstar Games, known for making big, detailed game worlds, is working on GTA VI. These games let players explore large cities, complete missions, and often tell stories about crime and society.

While we don't know much about GTA VI yet, people think it might be set in a city like Miami. Some say it might have the series' first main female character. Whatever they do, I'm excited to see how they'll make the game world even more interactive and alive.

Release Date: No official release date yet.

3. Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds is a new game in a series about hunting large creatures. Capcom, a well-known game company from Japan, is making it. In Monster Hunter games, players work together to track and fight big monsters, then use materials from these monsters to make better equipment.

This reminds me of when I was younger - a classmate tried to get me to play Monster Hunter, but I never did. Now, seeing how popular the series has become, I wonder if I would have enjoyed it back then. Monster Hunter Wilds looks like it will have beautiful natural settings to explore and new ways to move around the world.

Release Date: February 28, 2025

4. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is set in a world where a disaster happened at Chornobyl. GSC Game World, a team from Ukraine, is creating this game. Players will explore a dangerous area called The Zone, facing strange creatures and other hazards.

The game mixes shooting with survival elements, creating a tense atmosphere. It's known for letting players choose how to approach situations and for its eerie, realistic setting. The developers have faced challenges due to real-world events, but they're working hard to bring this game to life.

Release Date: November 20, 2024

5. Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 is a sequel to a free game where players fight monsters to get better equipment. I've been playing Path of Exile for 10 years now, and I'm really excited about this new version.

What I love about Path of Exile is how it lets you create unique character builds. You can get as powerful as you want, and there's always something new to try. The game has so much content from years of updates, and it's always fun to come back to.

Path of Exile 2 promises improved graphics, a new story, and new ways to play. But it's keeping the things that make the original great. As someone who's spent a lot of time with the first game, I can't wait to see what new adventures await in the sequel.

Release Date: December 6, 2024 (Early Access)

These games come from different parts of the world and offer various types of adventures. Some let you explore alone, while others encourage playing with friends. Whether you like solving puzzles, telling stories, or improving your character, there's something here that might interest you.

What makes these games exciting is how they build on ideas from earlier games, adding new twists. They show how game creators from around the world are always trying to make new and interesting experiences for players.

Which of these games sounds most interesting to you? The answer might depend on what kinds of games you usually enjoy or what new experiences you want to try. As for me, I'm looking forward to all of them, but especially Path of Exile 2 and GTA VI!

It's interesting to see that while some games have specific release dates, others are still keeping us guessing. This mix of known and unknown release dates adds to the excitement and anticipation surrounding these titles.
