The actual release date of Splitgate 2 is yet to be confirmed, but if we have to guess, mid-2025 will be on the safe side. Just a few months ago, the developers of 1047 Games gave fans a sneak peek into the revamped gameplay and new features via a small trailer.
While Splitgate 2 may lend you a feel of the blended feature of Portal 2 and Valorant, it does not provide a traditional single-player campaign. In addition, there is a stronger narrative undertone. The story follows three factions, each related to the overarching lore of the Splitgate universe.
Ascendant Infinity

Set in a post-apocalyptic world shaped by a catastrophe called The Cascade. Imagine yourself in a future where biotechnology has advanced to the point of integrating with daily life and warfare.
The gameplay heavily emphasizes a blend of battle royale and team-based shooter mechanics. It is a squad-based tactical first-person shooter that combines biopunk aesthetics. At its core, the game offers 3v3v3v3 battles to secure bio cores. These bio cores are the most important element to survive and progress in the game.
Borderlands 4

The latest released Borderlands movie didn’t exactly hit the mark with fans, falling short of the high expectations set by the series. That certainly means Borderlands 4 has a lot riding on its shoulders to win back the trust of the franchise’s dedicated fanbase. So far, we haven’t seen much about the gameplay mechanics, but it’s safe to say Gearbox will stick to the classic formula: shoot, loot, repeat.
Speaking of which, Gearbox recently revealed a teaser showcasing new planets, more vault hunters with unique abilities, and the series' signature mix of over-the-top combat, co-op gameplay, and, of course, a massive arsenal of weapons.
Dune: Awakening

For those who don't know, Dune: Awakening is inspired by the lore of Frank Herbert's novels but introduces an original story set in Arrakis. Interestingly, unlike the narrative-focused Dune adaptations, this MMO expands the universe, which simply means offering players the freedom to carve their own plot line. The game emphasizes survival mechanics, requiring players to manage resources, build bases, and form alliances to thrive in the harsh desert environment.
Players can develop their characters with unique skills and equipment. Gear and weapon upgrades are essential for progression, allowing players to tailor their playstyle.
Ark 2

Ark 2, first revealed in 2020, is more narrative-driven than its predecessor. The game is set after the events of ARK: Genesis Part 2 and takes place on the alien planet of Arat.
The story follows Santiago, a skilled warrior and survivor played by Vin Diesel. He, along with his daughter and tribe, must traverse the dangerous landscapes of Arat while fighting dangerous creatures and rival tribes. When the game arrives in early 2025, fans of the original can look forward to a deeper, more challenging experience.
Monster Hunter Wilds

After its exciting reveal at The Game Awards 2023, one thing is clear: Capcom has been steadily building this franchise into one of gaming’s giants, and with Wilds, they’re pushing things even further.
Furthermore, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an immersive ecosystem where weather changes, monster behavior evolves, and even the environment itself seems alive. And let’s not forget multiplayer. Teaming up with friends has always been core to Monster Hunter’s magic, and in Wilds, co-op remains a 4-player experience, now enhanced by shared world events that can pop up at any moment.
Ashfall

As per the plot, Ashfall is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which humanity has been knocked to its knees after an AI rebellion and a nuclear war. Once a thriving civilization, the world has become a desolate wasteland of crumbling cities and haunted creatures lurking around the city.
If you are a fan of games like Fallout, The Division, or Days Gone, you should be excited for Ashfall too.
Grand Theft Auto VI Online

Needless to say, Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA 6, is undoubtedly the most anticipated game of 2025. After years of rumors, leaks, and fan theories, Rockstar finally confirmed GTA VI, promising a huge step forward for the franchise. Set to be released in 2025, this next installment will redefine open-world gaming again by fusing cutting-edge technology with Rockstar's trademark storytelling and freedom.
You’ll play as Lucia, one half of a Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired duo. Alongside her partner (rumored to be named Jason), the story is expected to center around their rise in the criminal underworld in Los Santos.
That’s all for now, but rest assured, there are even more exciting titles lined up for 2025 that didn’t make it into this list. Some of them are:
- Sniper Elite: Resistance (PC, PlayStation 5/4, and Xbox Series X/S)
- Gears of War: E-Day (PC and Xbox Series X/S)
- Den of Wolves (PC)
- Terminator: Survivors (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S)
