[Let’s Talk] Most anticipated game of 2025

With 2024 wrapping up in just a couple of weeks, it’s time to think about 2025. Next year is looking like it could be a very exciting year for Nintendo fans for a few different reasons, including the expected launch of Switch 2.

As far as what’s confirmed, there are actually a number of Nintendo Switch games already slated for the new year. From Nintendo, we’re finally getting Metroid Prime 4: Beyond years after it was announced along with Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. From third-parties, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Guilty Gear Strive, Civilization VII, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, Shadow Labyrinth, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and Little Nightmares 3 are all on the way with even more planned.

Nintendo Switch 2 is obviously the wild card here. The new console is technically not confirmed for 2025 (only the announcement is), but is largely expected. By the time it comes out, it’ll be eight years since the release of the current Switch. A new console can bring all sorts of new experiences from Nintendo, but all of that exists in just a thought bubble currently.

So as we turn attention to 2025, what’s your most anticipated game – or games – of the year so far? Let us know in the comments.

I really hope the Okami sequel comes to the switch successor. I’d love to play that on the go! Okami was one of my favourite ps2 games when it originally came out.

Okami 2 is definitely the highlight. Finally another classic 3D Zelda?
