2022 GAMES: THE BIGGEST UPCOMING GAMES

Image

God of War | January 14
Kratos and son are finally making their way to PC in a port of the much-loved action hack-and-slash. You'll be able to take on the Norse realms in all the gorgeous 4K, with all the power inside your PC.

Image

Dying Light 2 | February 4
The sequel to Techland's zombies and parkour action game is finally arriving in 2022 after multiple delays. It's bringing a bigger map, double the parkour, and the return of the dangerous nights that will have you stealthing along rooftops and through Infected nests.

Image

Total War: Warhammer 3 | February 17
This is the final game in Creative Assembly's trilogy, bringing the last of the tabletop wargame's armies into digital form. At launch, four daemonic factions will be joined by the human nations of Kislev and Cathay, with the Ogre Kingdoms as DLC. In short: bears battling daemons.

Image

Elden Ring | February 25
FromSoftware is returning to the Dark Souls formula we're still craving more of, now in an open world with a lore written in part by George R.R. Martin. From what we played in the 2021 network test, it's basically Dark Souls but bigger, which is exactly what a lot of us were asking for.

Image

Final Fantasy Origin | March 18
This is the next Final Fantasy game we're getting before FFXVI. It's actually a pseudo-remake, "new story inspired by," the original Final Fantasy game from 1987. This one follows Jack and the Warriors of Light, using a mashup of the Final Fantasy 7 remake's team combat with Team Ninja's action-oriented Nioh series fighting.

Image

Saints Row | August 23
Volition is rebooting its wacky action series with four new young and witty protagonists. As the new Boss, you and four friends launch a criminal empire in the American southwest-inspired Santo Ileso. The new Saints Row is aiming to be of its own time, a contemporary story about feisty young folks that leaves the old Boss in the past.

Image

Starfield | November 11
Bethesda Game Studios' first new series in years is headed out into space. We're expecting it to be more than "Skyrim in space" but Todd Howard has confirmed that it is, in some ways, Skyrim in space. We're expecting tons of exploration in the Settled Systems with dangerous spaceflight and various factions.

Image

Company of Heroes 3 | 2022
A turn-based campaign has joined the arsenal of Relic's latest entry in the World War 2 RTS series, which is set in Italy and North Africa. Other new features like a tactical pause system for single-player and dynamic cover—where destruction just changes the type and location of cover—are both exciting and welcome.

Image

Gotham Knights | 2022
Four members of the Bat Family are watching over Gotham in Batman's absence in this diversion from the Arkhamverse timeline. In solo or two-player co-op, you'll tackle the big bads of the Court of Owls as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood.

Image

Kerbal Space Program 2 | 2022
The delightful misadventures of the Kerbonauts in building a space program will be continued in the second half of 2022. Now, you'll be able to establish colonies, create interstellar travel, and continue to spectacularly explode innumerable spacecraft before the horrified and fascinated Kerbal people.

Image

System Shock | 2022
Shodan is coming back in a neon-drenched remake of the classic fps. You'll wake up from a coma onboard the orbital research station and have to take on the hordes of mutants and cyborgs that the killer station-AI has created. System Shock's cyberpunk pedigree is unmatched, and we're hoping this will nail it.

Image

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide | 2022
Fatshark is branching out with a new '-tide' game set in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40k world. The co-op fps formula looks to be firing on all cylinders, and with meaty melee combat returning—chainswords in hand—with a new cast of four, this may be the pinnacle of games to get your group into in 2022.

Image

Baldur's Gate 3 | 2022?
Baldur's Gate is back and it's now in the hands of Divinity: Original Sin's developers. Larian has already launched the first section of the game in early access while adding new features and classes prior to the official launch. Like D:OS, Baldur's Gate 3 is often a wacky, anything-goes take on digital D&D.

Image

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 | 2022?
The sequel to this World Of Darkness setting RPG has been oft-delayed and handed off to a secret new developer. We don't even know for sure if it's launching in 2022, but we're still hoping for some excellent vampire sandbox action set in Seattle.

There's a lot of Dark Souls DNA in Elden Ring, but its open world makes for a very different style of exploration. You can strike out in any direction to find weapons and abilities that support your play style without waiting hours for the right crafting materials.
