Or maybe something else! What are you hyped for?
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!
He does more updates on twitter @ConcernedApe but it’s still sporadic. Last update was in April and he said he’s taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on the new SDV update.
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 🤩
Baldur’s Gate 3 that’s (finally) coming out of EA in August.
I’m looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn’t.
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.
That’s definitely my biggest one
Oh man that recent gameplay footage that came out looked 10/10. I haven’t been this excited for a new ip in awhile
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.
Silksong is coming out some day, probably.
Surely this year… Surely.
Hades II.
I’m going to add Earthblade and Silksong to the list as well
Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can’t wait for this.
Path of exile 2 if it comes out this year. As well as life by you to finally give a sims competitor.
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

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.
Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.
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.
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.
Super excited for Elden Ring and Cyberpunk DLC
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.
Life by You
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.
