  • Counter Strike 2 (Summer - Exact date unknown)

  • Armored Core VI (August 25)

  • Baldur's Gate 3 (August 31)

  • Starfield (September 6)

Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can't wait for this.

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.

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 🤩

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's definitely my biggest one

Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.

[–] [email protected] 4 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Silksong is coming out some day, probably.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Surely this year... Surely.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Metal Gear Solid Delta and Mortal Kombat 1

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Cities: Skylines II. But I am very cautious. All the recent games I looked forward to were disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm waiting for

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm excited for Homeworld 3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Assassins Creed! Love the series

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Super excited for Elden Ring and Cyberpunk DLC

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I knew I was forgetting something important in the post, thanks for reminding me that we have a release date for it!

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Remember that you always have the option to buy used parts, usually they run perfectly fine. I've seen used 3060s go for pretty cheap.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Manor Lords looks soooo good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The demo was great fun.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't been excited for a game in years, but that Xbox Showcase actually got me, and it finally gave me a reason to upgrade to the Series X. But the games: Starfield, Star Wars: Outlaws, Fable, and Avowed. There were a bunch of others, but those are the main few. Cautiously optimistic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 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.

I'm really hyped for Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 really liked the first one and hope the second is just as good or maybe better.
