Best Upcoming Games Of 2025 For Xbox, PlayStation And Nintendo Switch

2025 has already delivered standout games like Clair Obscur, Blue Prince, and Elden Ring: Nightreign, impressing fans worldwide.

Even with these hits, the most anticipated and promising upcoming games of 2025 are still just around the corner.

We have listed some of the best upcoming games that players need to keep on their radar for the rest of 2025.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater remakes the 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3 with modern graphics and gameplay.

This game is set in 1964, and its story follows Naked Snake as he rescues a Russian Scientist and destroys a Soviet nuclear weapon.

He will also confront his former mentor, “The Boss,” while he is completing his missions.

Players control Snake through jungles and enemy bases using stealth, weapons, and survival tools.

The remake keeps core stealth and survival mechanics from the original but adds modern features like crouch walking and third-person aiming.

It also introduces real-time body damage, dynamic camouflage effects, updated controls, and platform-specific minigames.

Silent Hill f

Silent Hill f is the latest entry in the popular Silent Hill series, offering a fresh take on horror.

This game is one of the most anticipated upcoming horror games in the second half of 2025.

Unlike previous games set in the foggy town of Silent Hill, this installment takes place in rural Japan during the 1960s.

In this game, you play as Hinako Shimizu, a high school student struggling to survive in the eerie town of Ebisugaoka.

Japanese artist Kera’s monster and character designs add a unique visual style to the game, creating a more immersive experience for players.

Lastly, the shift to a Japanese setting also brings a fresh cultural perspective to the series’ horror elements.

Hell Is Us

Hell is Us is a third-person action game where players control Remi, a soldier fighting supernatural creatures called Hollow Walkers.

The game’s combat focuses on melee weapons like swords, polearms, and axes, each with distinct styles and speeds.

Remi can also use a drone to distract enemies. Players must carefully manage Remi’s health and stamina.

Stamina regenerates over time but depends on current health. Further, exhaustion leads to weaker attacks and greater vulnerability.

The game takes place in a semi-open world of Hadea, where players gather clues to find Remi’s parents.

Finally, the game avoids waypoints and maps, requiring players to listen to conversations to locate objectives.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Pokémon Legends: Z-A features real-time combat instead of traditional turn-based battles, to raise the player’s rank from Z to A.

Players choose from three starter Pokémon: Chikorita, Totodile, or Tepig. Pokémon can move, dodge, and time their attacks during battles.

The game includes the Z-A Royale, a nighttime battle event where trainers can launch pre-emptive strikes and stun opponents.

Further, players earn points by completing side quests called bonus cards and by defeating trainers.

These points unlock rank promotion battles, allowing the player to advance from Rank Z to Rank A.

Battles take place in Battle Zones across Lumiose City, and the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde appears during the story.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D action platformer where players control Hornet, not the Knight from the first game.

Hornet moves faster and uses acrobatic combat skills, with the ability to heal instantly.

The game takes place in a new kingdom called Pharloom, where Hornet must climb to the top of a citadel while uncovering secrets about her past.

Players will explore a large world with over 100 benches to rest at and fight 165 new enemies.

Finally, Silksong also adds a quest system with tasks divided into four types, given by NPCs or quest boards across the world.
