2024 has certainly been off to a great start with successful releases like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Palworld already under its belt, and with others such as Dragon's Dogma 2 and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree still on the way, the year is far from over. However, 2023 set an unprecedented bar for gaming by being packed with some of the biggest releases in recent memory, many of them garnering significant praise. Now, although 2024 still has plenty of time left to prove itself, 2025's game release lineup already looks poised to be another 2023 in video games with heavy hitters such as Death Stranding 2 scheduled for release.
