7 Hottest Games Still Coming in 2025 You Need to Know About
Here are some of the biggest games still coming your way this year.
2025 has already been a bumper year for gaming, but things are only getting started. The remainder of the calendar is full of some horror-packed adventures, sword-slashing action, and some sneaky infiltrations to round out the year. We’ve highlighted some of the biggest games heading your way for the remainder of 2025.
Cronos: The New Dawn
Release date: 5 September 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
Heavily inspired by Dead Space, Cronos: The New Dawn is a pulse-pounding, third-person survival horror game where time is your deadliest weapon — and your worst enemy. Players have to survive a brutal future, dive back in time, and stop nightmarish creatures from merging into unstoppable abominations.
Borderlands 4
Release date: 12 September 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
As a bit of a palette cleanser to the less-than-good Borderlands movie, Borderlands 4 from Gearbox Software throws players back into the zany and colourful world of vault-hunting and never-ending randomised guns. It’s set on a new planet, so there should be a host of horrifying new enemies to take on, along with some surprising loot to hunt down.
Ghost of Yotei
Release date: 2 October 2025 (PS5)
Ghost of Tsushima is still easily one of the best games around, and the sequel arrives in 2025 to deliver some more samurai action to gamers. Set in 1603, you play as a new samurai-assassin named Atsu, who sets out on a journey in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, an area filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers.
Dying Light: The Beast
Release date: 21 August 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
The Dying Light series has mastered the parkour-zombie-survival genre at this point, but things get shaken up with the spin-off/sequel, The Beast. You play as the original game’s protagonist Kyle Crane, who, after more than a decade in captivity, finds himself in a world that’s changed, and not for the better. Players will need to use the survival skills that kept you alive all those years ago to save even more innocent lives.
Mafia: The Old Country
Release date: 8 August 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
Coming from Hanger 13, the fourth long-awaited game in the Mafia franchise takes players back to early 1900s Sicily, where the origins of the original mafia began. This is set to be a big, cinematic single-player experience like previous Mafia games, full of shootouts, backstabbing, family drama, and more. We cannot wait.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Release date: 28 August 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
One of the most beloved Metal Gear Solid entries is getting its remake this year with Snake Eater getting a ground-up rebuild from Konami themselves. Like the original, the remake is set in 1964 and follows a FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake (who becomes Big Boss) who has to infiltrate a secret base hidden deep in a Soviet jungle. The remake features modernised gameplay mechanics and current-gen visuals using Unreal Engine 5, but will utilise the original (and admittedly great) voice acting.
Silent Hill F
Release date: 25 September 2025 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)
The next mainline game in the Silent Hill series takes gamers to 1960s Japan and follows a young girl named Shimizu Hinako. Set in the secluded town of Ebisugaoka, Hinako finds her home consumed by a sudden fog, with the town turning into a haunting nightmare. Hinako must navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to survive. The game will follow the third-person horror formula of games in the franchise, requiring you to use melee weapons primarily against the horrors that await.
