2025 is shaping up to be an absolute banger for gaming, with everything from post-apocalyptic courier adventures to the return of the mafia. We’re here to walk you through the top 10 most anticipated games of 2025. Whether you’re itching to hunt down monsters, tear up the streets in a stolen car, or wax nostalgic for the days when Snake was sneaking through jungles, there’s something here for everyone. Let’s get into it!
1. Monster Hunter Wilds
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: Mid 2025
Capcom is back at it again with Monster Hunter Wilds, promising bigger monsters, more lush landscapes, and endless “oh crap, it’s seen me” moments.
This time, we’re heading to the Wilds (hence the name), an open world with dynamic weather that changes monster behaviour. Imagine fighting an angry Rathalos during a lightning storm—good luck with that.
If you thought previous Monster Hunter games were addictive, this one’s likely to devour even more of your free time. A seamless open world and new monster types have us foaming at the mouth. Take our money, Capcom.
2. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Platforms: PlayStation 5, PC
Release Date: Late 2025
Hideo Kojima is back to making us scratch our heads and re-watch trailers trying to make sense of it all. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach brings us more of Norman Reedus delivering packages but with extra “WTF” moments, weird babies, and some existential dread thrown in for good measure. The beach motif? No idea. It’s Kojima. We’re just here for the ride.
Death Stranding is a cult classic, loved for its weirdness and breathtaking visuals. Expect DS2 to be even stranger and even more emotionally confusing. Get ready to cry over cargo—again.
3. METAL GEAR SOLID: SNAKE EATER
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: TBD 2025
Konami is remaking one of the best games of all time, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, now with a fancy triangle (or delta) in the title. It’s the Cold War, it’s the jungle, it’s Big Boss before he becomes the world’s most infamous villain. Fans are stoked to see the survival mechanics, camo, and CQC in stunning new-gen graphics.
Two words: Snake Eater. If you know, you know. This game helped define a generation of stealth-action lovers, and we’re praying the remake does it justice. Please don’t screw this up, Konami.
4. South of Midnight
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: TBD 2025
Southern Gothic meets magical realism in South of Midnight. You play as Hazel, a young woman navigating a strange, eerie version of the American South. Expect strange creatures, soulful blues music, and a mysterious art style. It’s giving indie darling meets True Detective vibes, and we’re here for it.
We still don’t know much, but the game’s teaser trailer was enough to make our spines tingle. If you like Southern spookiness with a touch of magic, this one’s got your name on it.
5. Fable
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: 2025
The iconic RPG is back. Fable is being revived by Playground Games, and we’re all holding our breath. Quirky British humour? Check. Moral choices? Check. Heroism, chickens, and fart jokes? Double check. This one’s set to revive the beloved series with a shiny new engine and modern RPG mechanics.
Fable was always a special kind of series, and we can’t wait to see if they keep the same cheeky charm. Plus, there’s nothing quite like deciding between being a saint or kicking chickens to vent stress.
6. Grand Theft Auto VI
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: (Likely) 2025
Yes, it’s finally happening. GTA VI is real, and it’s coming. Rockstar has been working on this bad boy for what feels like decades, and the internet is collectively losing its mind. Set in Vice City (and maybe more), expect the usual open-world insanity, heists, and an online mode that will siphon even more of your bank account.
It’s GTA VI. The wait is nearly over. Do we even need to explain why people are ready to sell their souls for a pre-order?
7. Mafia Old Country
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: Late 2025
The Mafia series heads back to its roots in Mafia Old Country, set in early 20th-century Sicily. Expect family feuds, mobsters in sharp suits, and all the betrayal. Open-world with a tight-knit story and classic mafia drama? Yes, please.
Mafia games are known for their cinematic storytelling, and going back to Sicily feels like a homecoming. It’s like The Godfather meets video games, and we’re ready to pledge our loyalty to the familia.
8. Clockwork Revolution
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: 2025
Clockwork Revolution is a time-bending, steampunk adventure. Think BioShock Infinite meets Dishonoured, with a little Victorian London flair. You’ll manipulate time, explore a dystopian city, and face off against robotic enemies.
For one, it looks visually stunning, and the steampunk genre doesn’t get enough love. The ability to alter time could make for some really interesting gameplay. Who doesn’t want to break the rules of physics now and then?
9. Phantom Blade Zero
Platforms: PlayStation 5, PC
Release Date: 2025
Fast-paced sword fighting and stunning visual design are at the core of Phantom Blade Zero. Set in a mystical, dark fantasy world, you’ll be slicing through hordes of enemies with a katana in one hand and serious vengeance in the other.
The combat looks nuts. If you love the quick, tactical fighting in games like Sekiro, this is right up your alley. It’s sleek and stylish, and we’re ready to swing some swords.
10. Hell Is Us
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release Date: 2025
Hell Is Us is a third-person action game that focuses on exploration and brutal combat. It is set in a dystopian world overrun by mysterious supernatural forces. The game aims to blend combat with meaningful narrative choices, so you’re not just fighting enemies but understanding them.
If you’re into dark, mysterious worlds with a side of introspective storytelling, Hell Is Us could scratch that itch. Plus, the promise of moral ambiguity always keeps things interesting.
With all of these new games on the way, you will need the hardware to keep up with them. We have you covered. From next-day systems to Hyper Liquid powerhouses, CyberPowerPC UK has everything that you could want.
