10 Exciting Upcoming Video Games (You’ve Probably Never Heard Of)

6. Ghost Song

Built heavily around 'Metroidvania' type gameplay, Ghost Song will once again see players awakening on a desolate, unknown planet with unclear objectives at the outset. But while Outer Wilds will send you off in search of the "whys" of the world, Ghost Song wants you to seek out the "whats, whos, and wheres".

Players will spend most of their time on this mysterious, often dangerous planet alone, with the game demanding focus and determination if success is to be achieved. All is not hopeless, however, as there is other life to discover on this planet.

Along with an upgrade-able pet that you can raise to accompany you on the journey, there are various NPCs to discover and share stories with. Surviving long enough to find and interact with these other lonely souls will be the goal that drives you in Ghost Song, and the eerie music will engross you in the environment so well that you may just need to stop and call a friend for company every so often.
