After a quieter year for bigger releases in 2024 (though there was still plenty of great stuff overall), 2025 has the potential to blow the lid off things with a ton of blockbusters ranging from the unexpectedly delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI (which could also still get delayed—boo, hiss). A ton of major games still don’t have specific release dates, and some of the biggest potential releases—a new 3D Mario from Nintendo, for example— haven’t even been officially announced yet. For now though, and working with the ever-shifting video game release calendar as it’s currently constituted, here are Kotaku’s most anticipated upcoming games of 2025.
