A list of 10 games that caught my intention in alphabetical order. A few are expected this year but the way things are going in the games industry it possible that that only some of these will even be completed.
Blade (Arkane/Bethesda)
Everyone's favourite daywalking dhampir is getting his own 3rd person action game with lore from the Marvel comics as opposed to Wesley Snipes movies. It'll be 2026 before we see anything about this game after its reveal in late 2023.
DOOM: The Dark Ages (Id Software/Bethesda)
The third installment of the 2016 rebooted DOOM franchise.This is touted as the "epic cinematic origin story of The Slayer's rage". I get worried when id use the word "story" for a DOOM game but we'll see this year.
Exodus (Archetype Entertainment)
From Archetype Entertainment who were formed by ex-Bioware personnel, Exodus is being advertised as Sci-Fi action adventure RPG which looks to the the spiritual successor to the older Mass Effect games with a heavy dose of concepts explored in Christopher's Nolan's Interstellar, they even have Matthew McConneghy on board with some voice work. The promotional work being done here is some of the best I've seen.
Iron Man (Motive/EA)
EA has the license for an Iron Man game and have tasked Motive to develop a game we know little about but expect it to be a single-player action adventure and have an open world judging by some job listings last year. I'm a major fan of Iron Man and I hope they use lore from the Marvel comics as opposed to the MCU. If there was a side game mechanic to manage Stark Enterprises, prevent your heart stopping and battling alchohlism as well as being a superhero it just might be perfect.
Mass Effect 5 (Bioware/EA)
With Dragon Age: The Veilguard not exactly inspiring too much confidence in the studio, Bioware remain committed to working on the next Mass Effect which will be developed with Unreal Engine 5. If we see this before 2028 I'll be shocked.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (Konami)
An Unreal 5 remake of Metal Gear Solid III for current gen consoles, but more importantly - the PC! It's just a remake so hopefully it's gone smoothly without Hideo Kojima on board. We should find out this year.
Project 007 (IO Interactive)
Hitman developers IO Interactive are working on a James Bond game. I'm assuming a third-person action game but I guess we'll see in due course.
Star Wars: Eclipse (Quantic Dream/Lucasfilm Games)
PR embattled Quantic Dream's games have always intrigued me by how different from other games they are. I'm fascinated by how this could be applied to Star Wars even though it's set in the High Republic era.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 (The Chinese Room/Paradox Interactive)
