Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Let's dive into the most anticipated video game releases of the year.
January 2025
For a different kind of carnage, Sniper Elite: Resistance (January 30th) continues its tradition of long-range sniping and… well, let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. Available on all major platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, and PC).
February 2025
On the same day, Sid Meier's Civilization VII launches across various platforms (including Linux, but excluding mobile initially). Need we say more? Another entry in a legendary 4X strategy series.
Romance and stealth intertwine on February 14th with Assassin's Creed Shadows, set in feudal Japan and featuring dual protagonists, available on current-gen consoles and PC. For a less historically accurate, more hilariously absurd Valentine's Day experience, there's Date Everything!, a sandbox dating sim with a cast of 100+ anthropomorphic inanimate objects. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.
Embrace piracy with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (February 21st), starring Goro Majima on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
Finally, February 28th sees the release of Monster Hunter Wilds on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. Capcom aims to refine the core experience while introducing new features for both veterans and newcomers.
March 2025
For a more tranquil experience, Tales of the Shire (March 25th) offers a cozy life sim focused on the daily lives of hobbits. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.
Also on March 27th, The First Berserker: Khazan, a single-player action RPG based on the Dungeon Fighter Online universe, launches on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
March 28th brings inZOI, a visually stunning life simulator for PC (with console versions planned later), potentially a strong contender to existing life simulation giants.
