Vote in the poll, state your reasoning, or post a game that isn't listed.

Edit: Added these to the poll

Missing:

Mass Effect 4 by BioWare (2020)
Splinter Cell Remake by Ubisoft (2021)
Marvel 1943 by SkyDance (2021)
Iron Man by Motive (2022)...Arkane's Blade(2023)

I feel like the max payne remakes should be on that list aswell...they were announced years ago.

 

[GrayChild]

Half-Life 3.

This time for real.

 

[GymWolf]

Is that pic of little devil inside made with AI? I dont remember the big monster in any trailer...

It could be. I'll switch it out with a different image just in case.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Other. Where is new Portal? Oh, and Minecraft 2/Minecraft 4k with raytracing.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

None of them besides state of decay will probably be shown

Half-Life 3.

Never revealed so I never posted it.

There were some I skipped over because it has been too soon, like Okami 2 which was revealed in 2024, or others like Elder Scrolls 6 because everyone knows that initial reveal was just a logo and nothing else.

 

[Skifi28]

No.

 

[Fbh]

My guess:

Beyond Good and Evil 2 - Dead / Never Releasing
Judas - 2027
Kingdom Hearts 4 - 2028
Kotor Remake - Dead / Never Releasing
Light No Fire - 2027
Little Devil Inside - Dead / Never Releasing
Squadron 42 - Donate $10K to learn the release date
Bioshock 4 - 2028
Riot MMO - Dead / Never Releasing
The Last Night - Dead / Never Releasing
Wolf Among Us 2 - 2027
Star Wars Eclipse - 2028
Jurassic Park Survival - 2027
DecaPolice - 2027
Dragon Quest 12 - 2028
Project Awakening Dead / Never Releasing
State of Decay 3 - 2027

 

[Hyet]

I'm fully convinced The Last Night doesn't exist/it's a part of a money laundering scheme.

 

[analog_future]

Honestly I don't feel great about anything in this list, lol. But I'd say these 3 are most likely to be seen w/ a release date:

• Jurassic Park Survival
• DecaPolice
• Dragon Quest 12

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Light no Fire when? =(

 

[Boss Mog]

Don't forget Tides of Annihilation. It's supposed to release this year but we don't even have a release date and the year is almost half over.

 

[Arsic]

None.

 

[HYDE]

Not interested in a single game listed.

 

[March Climber]

Don't forget Tides of Annihilation. It's supposed to release this year but we don't even have a release date and the year is almost half over.

Too soon from reveal. It was revealed in 2025 so they have breathing room for delays.

 

[intbal]

I'm fully convinced The Last Night doesn't exist/it's a part of a money laundering scheme.

He took to AI like a pre-teen to pornography. I'm guessing he has no time to work on the game.

 

[Sethbacca]

It feels like BG&E2 has been rumored since the PS3 era at this point. I'm not even a fan of the series, but the story has been out there forever.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Youtube's just thumbnailed a fan blurb on Little Devil Inside.
I'll bet a small diet Dr Pepper that it show up again this year with a 2027 release date.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Projekt Awakening won't show up because they morphed it into Eve Frontier.

CCP Games Renames Project Awakening to EVE Frontier

CCP Games announces EVE Frontier, a blockchain-driven space survival game within the EVE Online universe. Explore, survive, and shape economies in a player-driven sandbox.

games.gg

 

[StueyDuck]

of the list the only ones i can see viably coming out this year is deca police and light no fire.

the rest will have that AAA troubled development going for it.

SoD3 is in like super early closed testing so i don't see that, unless it goes really well but the way the spoke of it they are still figuring things out.

Judas is a maybe, but i wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

[Hypereides]

Beyond good and evil 2 might as well be vaporware at this point. That game should've been released a long, long time ago. Its probably become a victim of Yves' GAAS obsession which got the better of them plus some friction among the dev team. The project has probably sunk multi millions into it by now.

Wrong Project Awakening. I remembered there were two of them and that's why I made sure to put 'cygames' up front lol.

CCP Games Project Awakening
Cygames Project Awakening

Cygames trailer:



These are the Japanese developers of the recent Granblue Fantasy Relink game.

 

[Hyet]

He took to AI like a pre-teen to pornography. I'm guessing he has no time to work on the game.

Everytime I read any of this guy's tweets and it's never about the game he's supposedly making I wonder who is supposedly funding it.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Only one for me, Splinter Cell Remake

 

[e0n]

Missing:

Mass Effect 4 by BioWare (2020)
Splinter Cell Remake by Ubisoft (2021)
Marvel 1943 by SkyDance (2021)
Iron Man by Motive (2022)

More recent major titles with no info, but may still release:

Project Robot (Team Ico)
Blade (Arkane)
Sega 5 Games - JSR/Crazy Taxi

 

[NeverYouMind]

Still waiting on Final Fantasy Versus XIII...

 

[March Climber]

Missing:

Mass Effect 4 by BioWare (2020)
Splinter Cell Remake by Ubisoft (2021)
Marvel 1943 by SkyDance (2021)
Iron Man by Motive (2022) ....Blade (Arkane)

Added to OP, thank you.

Project Robot (Team Ico)
Sega 5 Games - JSR/Crazy Taxi

Will leave these for now since they were revealed too soon.

 

[Fermbiz]

Squadron 42.

Believe.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Ceallach]

There had to be a near feature complete version of BG&E2 at one point. In like 2013 or something it was supposed to be released for Wii U or some shit.

That project definitely got sidelined by Ubi's push for GAAS and shit.

 

[SpokkX]

Hope for Light no fire

expect f***ing Kingdom Hearts 4

 

[Bartski]

The new PLAYDEAD game. Last seen in 2018




Judas 100% and State of Decay 3. I would love to see The Last Night, Little Devil Inside but those might never come out.

 

[yogaflame]

ILL and Judas. I hope too see both games on SOP

 

[GymWolf]

I feel like the max payne remakes should be on that list aswell...they were announced years ago.

 

[dgproject]

I doubt level-5 will release deca police anytime soon, looking at their latest level-5 vision 2026, their priority right now is to release fantasy live i mobile and the next layton.

 

[March Climber]

I feel like the max payne remakes should be on that list aswell...they were announced years ago.

Added.

 

[Sabejita]

Most of those were announced in 2019:

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Square HAS to get games out soon. They don't have the financial luxury of waiting for perfect, they have to settle for good enough.

 

[blacktout]

I think Dragon Quest 12 is about to be given at least a release year, either at the DQ anniversary stream or the next Nintendo Direct.

I also think there have been some rumblings about Kingdom Hearts 4 and it feels like it's about time.

I really want more info about Light No Fire, but unfortunately I think we still have a while to wait because it seems like a hugely ambitious project and I think Hello Games learned from No Man's Sky that it pays to wait until a game can deliver on its promises before releasing it.

 

[Gambit2483]

My guess:

Beyond Good and Evil 2 - Dead / Never Releasing
Judas - 2027
Kingdom Hearts 4 - 2028
Kotor Remake - Dead / Never Releasing
Light No Fire - 2027
Little Devil Inside - Dead / Never Releasing
Squadron 42 - Donate $10K to learn the release date
Bioshock 4 - 2028
Riot MMO - Dead / Never Releasing
The Last Night - Dead / Never Releasing
Wolf Among Us 2 - 2027
Star Wars Eclipse - 2028
Jurassic Park Survival - 2027
DecaPolice - 2027
Dragon Quest 12 - 2028
Project Awakening Dead / Never Releasing
State of Decay 3 - 2027

Yep, pretty much agree with most of those, except for State of Decay 3. That thing is Vaporware unless they prove otherwise.

 

[rkofan87]

I understand the last night but what the shit happened to the little devil inside??????????????????????

 

[YeulEmeralda]

The Last Night (first revealed 2017)

Oef this one missed the Cyberpunk hype.

 

[KanKamAndNob]

Don't forget Tides of Annihilation. It's supposed to release this year but we don't even have a release date and the year is almost half over.

That and DQ12 are the only games on this list I actually give a fuck about. Really hoping we see a release date for both.

 

[Ceallach]

DQ12 is the only thing I think on this list actually guaranteed to even still exist.

 

[kiphalfton]

I'm sure Kingdom Hearts 4 will come out, but at this point it is almost better it doesn't come out between:

- How woke Disney stuff is
- How big a role Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar stuff will play
- How overly stupid the story is

If it does come out, it's about time they focus more on the Final Fantasy aspect of the series.

 

[schaft0620]

I thought that KOTOR and Bioshock 4 were both canceled?

 

[rm082e]

I still hold out hope for Judas and Bioshock 4, but it sounds like neither is ready to talk about yet and need more work.

I have a tiny bit of hope that Squadron 42 will be something interesting, but if it sucks, I will forget about it immediately and not care.

 

[realcool]

Little Devil Inside (first revealed 2015)

 

[ADiTAR]

Hoping to see the Metroid Prime 4 from 2017.
