Well, after years of wishing for it, Atlus has finally given the people what they want: a Persona 4 remake. Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025, we're going to be diving back into one of the best JRPG-infused murder mysteries around with Persona 4 Revival. From what we've seen so far, the story seems to remain largely untouched, and the turn-based party system is still in place. However, hopefully, we see some tweaks to the dungeons and enemy encounters in the future once a release date is announced. Stay tuned for updates!

ILL

Developer: Team Cloud
Release date: TBC

Hands down the gnarliest game of Summer Game Fest 2025 ILL is an upcoming PC game that looks to be skin-crawling in the best possible way. From developer Team Cloud, gameplay is action-heavy with gunshots galore and multiple gruesome enemies to slay. In the trailer for the game, we saw mutant creatures with four mouths, blood splatters, and even some zombie babies. What more could a horror fan want? No release date has been revealed just yet, so stay tuned for updates.

Fractured Blooms

Developer: Serenity Forge
Release date: TBC

Described at Summer Game Fest 2025 as Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill, Fractured Blooms looks like a first-person farming simulator with a dark twist. Its reveal trailer jumped from growing tomatoes to walking down dark corridors and jumping at self-slamming doors, all while ominous narration talks about preparing dinner and… eating legs? At this point we know about as much as you do – which is still more than we'd like to – but perhaps this psychological horror will be best going into without spoiling too much.

Felt That: Boxing

Developer: Sans Strings Studio, Stoopid Buddy Studios
Release date: TBC

It's odd to highlight the realism of some of the fuzziest puppets imaginable, but when you see Felt That: Boxing in action it really does just look like you're watching a recording of some actual pro puppeteering (it's made in Unreal). Putting you in the boxing gloves of Ezra 'Fuzz-E' Wright, "an unadoptable orphan", this mixes arcade action with comedic, crass storytelling to tell the tale of your rise up the ranks to master of the ring.

Killer Inn

Developer: Tactic Studio
Release date: TBC

What if Dead by Daylight had a baby with Cluedo? Meet Killer Inn, an upcoming multiplayer horror-mystery game from Square Enix where players have to deduce the culprit of an ongoing murder investigation – or do the killing themselves. You can set traps and find other means to survive against the hidden killer in this Among Us-like, but if solving crimes (or committing them) isn't quite your bag, escape is always an option. In a world of Wolves versus Lambs, it's kill or be killed – or die trying.

Ark 2

Developer: Studio Wildcard
Release date: TBC

With Ark 2, Studio Wildcard is building on the success of Ark: Survival Evolved and delivering a massive sequel with heaps of potential.

Elder Scrolls 6

Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Release date: TBC

Ah, Elder Scrolls, just when we think it's over, you pull us right back in. However, five years after the announcement it was in the works, fans are still to see the Elder Scrolls 6 release. Don't worry, though; this game is still on its way, and now that Starfield has launched, we know that Elder Scrolls 6 is next on Bethesda's schedule before they start working on other titles like Fallout 5. Currently, the most likely release date is 2026, despite the game initially targeting a 2024 release. So, hang in tight because there is still plenty of waiting ahead of us, it seems.

Spooky settings, a cool visual style, and a smart iteration of the core Stardew systems make this one of the most highly anticipated new PC games out there - even if we have no idea when we could possibly be seeing it.

Marvel's Blade

Developer: Arkane Studios
Release date: TBC

A standout moment from The Game Awards 2023 was the announcement that the upcoming Marvel game, Marvel's Blade, is in development. The teaser trailer lets on very little, save that the iconic vampire hero of comic book legend is to make his long-awaited return to video games at some point in the next few years. Being made in tandem with Xbox, it's not expected to load outside the Xbox Series X or PC platforms. It's a bummer for Sony fans, but good news for us PC players keen to sink our teeth into a dynamic single-player experience.

Tides of Annihilation

Developer: Eclipse Glow Games
Release date: TBC

Tides of Annihilation is an upcoming hack-and-slash fantasy adventure, set in the backdrop of London in ruins.
