10 Most Anticipated Video Games Still To Come In 2025

2025 has been one hell of a year for video games so far, with the likes of Split Fiction, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Blue Prince, and many more likely to dominate the Game of the Year conversation.

And yet, we're only barely half-way through the year, and so there's still a whole shedload of exciting games waiting to be released over the next six-or-so months.

And while it's tough to whittle the many dozens of intriguing upcoming games down to a list of just 10, these are the ones that are most certainly going to be on everyone's lips.

Though the list certainly contains its fair share of long-awaited franchise sequels, not everything here belongs to an existing IP - there are promising new games which could very well kickstart their own series, and also pure indie one-offs that will get in, do their thing, and get out.

Whether you're craving the next AAA behemoth to showcase your hardware of choice or a more low-key indie banger, these games are without question the most exciting intended to drop before 2025 comes to a close...

The fourth entry into Gearbox's beloved looter-shooter franchise shifts the action to the new planet of Kairos and focuses on a largely new cast of Vault Hunters who will do battle with the tyrannical dictator known as the Timekeeper.

Though the nuts and bolts of Borderlands 4's gameplay are very much what we know, Gearbox has promised that this will be the biggest and most open-ended Borderlands game to date.

Most impressively, they're also touting a "seamless" experience where Kairos' four zones can be explored without any loading screens at all. 

In addition to more comprehensive vehicular options - such as the ability to spawn cars at will - players will also now have a grappling hook to fling themselves around.

And as will surely be a considerable relief to many, the developer has vowed to cut back on the edgy toilet humour which some fans felt reached an exhausting excess in Borderlands 3.

Gearbox is certainly saying all the right things, so hopefully it'll transpire into a sequel that well and truly pushes the franchise forward.

Borderlands 4 releases on September 12.
