The year 2025 could be a great one for gaming, with plenty of top-notch games on the horizon. From a multiplayer Elden Ring game to a sequel to Kojima’s Death Stranding, there’s more than enough for gamers to look forward to this year. And without further ado, here follows a list of the top 10 upcoming video games 2025.
1. Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring is one of the best games to come out of the mind of Hidetaka Miyazaki, the man who gave the world Bloodborne and Dark Souls. It was Game of the Year in 2022, so expectations are sky high for Elden Ring Nightreign, a multiplayer spin-off of Miyazaki’s action role-playing game. This lets up to three players team up to take on enemies on random maps, across a three-day period, with the game boasting a day and night cycle and impressive visuals as seen in the trailer below.
There are also fearsome bosses to contend with exclusive to Nightreign (the Nightlords) while players can choose from one of several classes to play as, such as the guardian and the duchess. It remains to be seen if this game can recapture the magic and fun of Elder Ring in a co-op multiplayer format when it launches this spring, even if players can still face the dangers of the Lands Between alone if they so choose in the game.
Release date: May 30, 2025. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
