Though it feels as though 2021 has been a barren year for releases, take a step back, dust off the negative energy and there are a strong slew of must-plays.

From top-tier slammers like Resident Evil 8, Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Hitman 3 to a smorgasbord of indie and mid-budget titles like Disco Elysium, It Takes Two, NieR: Replicant and Alba: A Wildlife adventure, the industry may feel closeted and confined, but it's faring better than most.

At this crucial juncture though, with one third of 2021 left to analyse - what do we actually have to look forward to?

It's no secret that the vast majority of titles have been pushed to 2022 - everything from Horizon Forbidden West to the thoroughly badass likes of Midnight Fight Express and Sifu - leaving behind a similar assumption of emptiness... that actually gives way to a stacked slate of releases instead.

Note: Obviously this isn't every game still to come, but all the moderate to high-budgeted releases you'll want to keep an eye on.
