With some truly creepy monsters, the trailer for the new installment of the Silent Hill series is enough to scare you. We hope the game is no less scary. It has the influence of Japanese horror films like The Grudge. The project feels closer to Fatal Frame than to the previous installments of the series. Let us remind you that its action will take place not in the foggy city from the original trilogy, but in Japan in the 60s of the last century. The release will take place on September 25, 2025.

The third part of the Nioh series was announced. The original diology was a soulslike in a Japanese setting. Judging by the trailer, the new game will retain the advantages of the first two. At the same time, the scenery, combat style and animation are subtly reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

IO Interactive decided to take a break from the Hitman series — their new game will be dedicated to James Bond. 007 First Light is not connected to a specific film and shows its story of an agent in the service of Her Majesty. Judging by the trailer, we will be offered not only stealth missions, but also open combat with the use of firearms, as well as chases in sports cars. The atmosphere of the project is closer to the recent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle than to the usual films about Agent 007. We are looking forward to the details that they promise to share soon. The game will be released in 2026.

In the cinematic trailer Ghost of Yotei we saw the main character and a wolf, who, apparently, will play an important role in the plot. But the gameplay will be shown to us only in July. The release will take place on October 2, 2025.

The new Thief will be a project for virtual reality helmets. We will have to return to the city familiar from the fourth part of the series. You will have to play as a thief known as Magpie.

I wonder if the VR format will be able to make the usual stealth action more exciting than usual? We will find out this year.

They showed action gameplay of the remake third Metal Gear Solid — shootouts on motorcycles and battles with bosses. The game looks modern, but at the same time, recognizable. The reissue is being developed without the participation of Hideo Kojima. It will go on sale on August 28, 2025.

They demonstrated the gameplay of the sci-fi action game Pragmata from Capcom. The action system is a bit reminiscent of Dead Space with shooting at vulnerable points. However, the levels are light, and robots act as enemies. The girl on the main character's back, apparently, will be responsible for special abilities. The game will be released in 2026.

A naval action game with pirates and sailboats that is vaguely reminiscent of Sea of ​​Thieves. If you miss battles involving 18th century ships, check out Sea of ​​Remnants. You will find treasure hunts, adventurous adventures, and even encounters with mermaids. The game will be released in 2026.

A new project by Goichi Suda (Suda 51), known for such crazy games as Killer7, No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw, has been announced. He remains true to his principles — we can expect a slightly strange action game, with bizarre monsters, blood, dismemberment and ridiculous jokes. And the cut scenes make us remember the surreal cartoons of the 80s. The release is scheduled for 2026.

Connoisseurs of the first Mortal Kombat will be able to purchase the re-release of Legacy Kollection. It includes the original trilogy, as well as the fourth game in the series.

A prequel to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been announced, a metroidvania in the spirit of the first parts of Castlevania. Judging by the trailer, we can expect the same stylish action platformer with a high-quality combat system, the ability to use cold weapons and magic, as well as huge bosses. Battles and exploration of the world are tailored for the interaction between two characters. The game will be released in 2026.

They showed a story trailer for the new part of the Digimon series and announced the release date — October 3, 2025. As before, you will be able to raise your own pets and arrange fights between them. It turned out to be a kind of analogue of Pokemon, only from Bandai Namco.

This is a reissue of the classic Final Fantasy Tactics from 1997.

The game is a turn-based tactics game, and its action takes place in the universe of the twelfth part of the series. It will go on sale on September 30.

The eccentric walking simulator Baby Steps received a release date — September 8, 2025. Here you need to carefully measure each step, otherwise the character will not stay on his feet and fall. At the same time, you are required to make very complex movements, for example, to walk on a log over a deep hole. The project will certainly appeal to those who like games with non-trivial controls in the spirit of Surgeon Simulator.

A 3D platformer where you play as an origami figure. To overcome local obstacles, you need to change your shape, for example, turn into a ball or a bird that can fly. The project deserves praise for its clearly maintained style. It seems that we are inside a giant paper craft. Hirogami will be released on September 3, 2025.

Tides of the Tomorrow is an adventure action game with vast underwater locations and unusual multiplayer.

It sounds intriguing, but it is not yet clear how this will be implemented in practice. The release will take place on February 24, 2026.

And this game is worth paying attention to for fans of Journey. Thanks to a special item that resembles a fantasy skateboard, the main character slides on any surface.

A fighting game has been announced, in which the heroes and villains of Marvel comics will fight each other. The developers are Arc System Works, known for the Guilty Gear series.
