10 Anticipated Video Games You Forgot Were Coming In 2025
9. The Outer Worlds 2

With two highly anticipated games set for release this year, the coming months are an exciting time for Obsidian Entertainment. Alongside releasing Avowed (a fantasy RPG set in the Pillars Of Eternity universe) in February, this year will also see the arrival of The Outer Worlds 2.
While the first game was on the short side for an RPG, its razor-sharp comedy, memorable companions, and exquisite worldbuilding made it an instant hit with players and critics. Although there aren't many details about what to expect from the upcoming sequel at time of writing, the snippets of information that the developer have shared paint a promising picture.
In addition to the announcement trailer being brimming with the developer's signature humour, the sequel promises to be twice the size of its predecessor, which could alleviate the main complaints about the first game.
Players will be taken to a new star system with more locations to explore, more weapons to play with, and more enemies to encounter. It's more of everything that made the first game so great, and that's more than enough of a reason to make The Outer Wilds 2 worth the wait.
