10 Most Anticipated Video Games Still To Come In 2025
8. Hell Is Us
And now for a fantastic-looking new game that's an entirely original IP, even if its aesthetic and gameplay influences absolutely speak for themselves.
Hell Is Us is a third-person action-adventure game set in the war-torn country of Hadea as UN Peacekeeper Rémi abandons his post to seek out his missing parents.
As he traverses a post-apocalyptic semi-open world, Rémi will face off against supernatural entities called Hollow Walkers.
The game has been relentlessly compared to both Death Stranding and Dark Souls, and you'd need only watch a few seconds of gameplay to appreciate why.
Intriguingly, though, Hell Is Us will distinguish itself with its minimal HUD, lack of map and compass, and all-around refusal to hold the player's hand. You'll be left to study the world and its environmental cues to figure out where to go next.
This is a game that clearly drips atmosphere from its every pore, and if it lives up to the hype this could very well be one of the year's most acclaimed, truly original titles.
Hell Is Us releases on September 4.
