Redfall
Arkane enters the fray of cooperative shooters, with a vampiric twist. The genre has become a little more crowded with 2022 having brought us Back 4 Blood and the sublime Warhammer 40,000 Darktide, but Redfall has a few extra tricks up its sleeves to potentially help it sink its fangs into the competition.

STALKER 2
STALKER was the original open world FPS and once wowed us with its unscripted skirmishes and distinctly Ukrainian brand of horror.

The Invincible
This retro-future science-fiction game, based on a novel of the same name, looks like it could be a serious sleeper hit next year.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
As the Gotham Knights fumbled their catch of the DC team-up ball, it's up to the Suicide Squad to pick up and run with this metaphor that should have ended several words ago. Interestingly, this game follows neither the movies (not the well-received James Gunn one, or the one with Jared Leto's 'Ooh, I'm mad, me' Joker), nor the comics. It's going to tell its own story, with its own version of the Squad.

Wild Hearts
Lush environments, fantastical creatures that can be harvested for loot, enormous beasts that are best tackled in a small team... it's easy to compare this to Monster Hunter with good reason.

Diablo 4
Regardless of whether you've been looking forward to this for the last three years or not, we can surely all agree that a game where one of the characters can turn into a bear is worth a second look.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
The success of Dark Souls and Elden Ring flew in the face of received AAA wisdom - proving that big budget games can be difficult, obtuse, and trusting of their players, yet still find a huge audience.

Starfield
The best bits of Bethesda RPGs don't demo well. At least, that's the self-soothing mantral repeated while watching Starfield's lacklustre summer showcase - 15 minutes of impactless shooting and Todd Howard in a leather jacket. A slight variant on Fallout 3's lockpicking system wasn't enough to shake the sense that it was still 2008.
