5 Games Supposedly Coming Out in 2025 That Still Need A Release Date

by

In the year of 2025, several eagerly awaited video games have secured their launch dates, including “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2” and “Hollow Knight: Silksong”. These announcements bring an end to fans’ prolonged waits for these titles. However, it isn’t all positive news, as highly anticipated games like “GTA 6” have been pushed back to 2026, while the details about “Elder Scrolls 6” continue to remain a secret. Furthermore, there are certain games slated for a 2025 release that still haven’t confirmed their launch dates.

Anticipated indie titles and some big Nintendo first-party games are slated for later in 2025, according to reports. However, as weeks pass without official announcements, some fans speculate that these releases might be delayed. Here are some of the highly anticipated games still expected in 2025, although they don’t have a specific release date yet.

5. Hades 2

While Supergiant Games hasn’t formally announced a 2025 release date for Hades 2, there’s been a lot of buzz among fans that we could see the game or at least an official release date this year. This anticipation is largely based on the fact that the last update was said to be before the 1.0 release and the game made an appearance in the first-ever Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, which might indicate a soon-to-be full release.

As of now, the exact release date for Hades 2 has yet to be announced. However, given that the final update before the game’s official launch is behind us, it seems reasonable to anticipate a late 2025 release. Fingers crossed, we’ll soon learn more about the expected release date for this roguelike sequel. Given its current state and assuming there are no last-minute adjustments, the game appears set to launch shortly.

4. Witchbrook

For the second time, I find myself expressing my apprehension – the lack of a confirmed release date for Witchbrook is causing me concern. This enchanting cozy magic school game has been eagerly awaited by many, and it made a much-anticipated return from a prolonged silence earlier this year. Since then, it has consistently hinted at a winter 2025 release, but we’re still waiting on the specific date to be announced.

Considering Chucklefish didn’t provide an update on their game after the initial announcement, it’s not entirely unexpected that a release date hasn’t been announced yet. Although there’s no complete silence on Witchbrook’s social media accounts, where new details are occasionally shared, significant opportunities like the Nintendo Showcase have come and gone without any word about the game’s release.

3. Slay the Spire 2

In 2024, it was announced that the follow-up to the cherished indie roguelike game “Slay the Spire” was on its way, with a preview trailer unveiled at The Game Awards. Since then, the game has been aiming for a release within the year 2025. However, as time goes by, the expected release window seems to be shrinking more and more, without any updates from Mega Crit regarding the game’s official status.

This year, Mega Crit’s social media activity has been relatively lowkey, but they haven’t vanished completely. However, information about Slay the Spire 2 has been scarce, suggesting that the sequel might not be dropping soon. Despite this, their profile on platform X still reads “Slay the Spire 2 coming in 2025,” which means a release for the game is still planned, assuming no changes. Among the games listed here, it seems that a delay in the release date for Slay the Spire 2 is most probable, due to the limited information available about the upcoming game scheduled for this year.

2. Metroid Prime 4

One of the eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 games rumored to be in development is the highly anticipated title, “Metroid Prime 4.” Although there’s been much chatter and speculation, Nintendo has yet to disclose an exact release date for Samus’ return in the fourth installment. However, their official website indicates a potential 2025 launch, so it appears that “Metroid Prime 4” might be arriving this year as per current information.

The game “Metroid Prime 4” is one of several anticipated titles for the Nintendo Switch rumored to launch this year, but as of now, we don’t have a definite release date. If whispers are correct, a Nintendo Direct event in September 2025 could be when they finally announce the game’s debut. However, there’s still a chance it might get delayed, although it’s not very probable at this point.

1. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

One notable addition to our list from Nintendo is the game titled “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Lock-up.

Ever since the hints about Witchbrook, it feels like the Winter of 2025 is just around the corner, although it’s yet to be officially confirmed. As for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Nintendo hasn’t given us a specific release date as of now. It might be one of those titles they’ll unveil during the September Nintendo Direct, similar to other games that are still awaiting their release dates. Frankly, I’m hopeful there won’t be any delay for this game, but in today’s world, surprises can happen. The longer we wait for an official release date, the slimmer the chances of it arriving within the 2025 window become.
