November 2022 could see three big exclusive releases: Breath of the Wild 2, Starfield, and God of War Ragnarok
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
I voted Starfield because it's Bethesda, but it could as easily have been BotW2. The main determinant there is that it's a game being developed for what will be five years old hardware when it comes out. I think Starfield is the only current-gen-only title of those mentioned, and I'm excited to see if the engine truly has been improved
I'll never play it, but Starfield is right up my alley and it looks really good. Xbox players seem to be in for a treat.
I have an OLED Switch and a PS5 but BotW did nothing for me and I'm not interested in the sequel. So second spot goes for GoWR. I enjoyed the 2018 game a lot and got the platinum. I'm sure the sequel will be fun as well, provided they've improved the boss fights.

Even as a mainly PC gamer, BotW is the most exciting thing here for me.
I really like Oblivion and Skyrim, but Bethesda's Sci-fi stuff like Fallout doesn't really click well for me. I don't think Starfield will change that, but i'm open to trying it at least.
God of War? Don't really care lol.

God of War: Ragnarok with Starfield close behind (though that could easily be switched if Starfield has "oh wow this is a truly current/next-gen game!" but from my first few hours of BotW I am not that impressed with it (which is my problem with a lot of open world games, is that they are not necessarily deep but takes ages to get in the flow iwth them).
Going foward Xbox is more about Eco-System Exclusivity than the traditional sense say 10 or so years ago. Sony will be transitioning to somewhere similar from now on.
I think Fallout is somewhat limited by post-apocalyptic setting than being Sci-Fi. That's my problem with all these focuses of post-apocalyptic (with the usual Trope of "humans are the REAL MONSTERS").
Starfield being a new IP is perhaps the most interesing, but I'm looking forward to BotW2 the most since it is the game I'm most likely to play at release. Whether or not it releases in 2022 is another story.
As long as Starfield releases on the microsoft platform steam store, i'm fine with that.
They don't give a damn where you buy it or how you try to name it, as long as you spend money to play it.
Starfield. I'll pick up and emulate botw 2 if they fix the god awful weapon system and actually add shit to do in the world. GOW: R I'll get on pc in a few years.
Of course, why would they?
But i care if i can buy it on steam or not.
Same day releases on Steam has been a great decision and kudos for them doing so.
BotW will sell a shit ton of copies I'm sure, more than the others combined probably. Anyway, 2 of those 3 are sequels ...
Give me the only original IP please.

Seems pretty unlikely given how much the last GoW and previous BGS games (Skyrim/Fallout 4) sold.
If it does it'll only be because people playing on Gamepass don't really count as "sales". Bethesda games are traditionally big sellers and the last GoW sold very well too.
It'll probably make more money tho because Nintendo games rarely decrease in price and continue to sell well years after release, despite the high price points.
We got numbers updated for both those titles recently, and God of War was at like 19.5 million and Breathe of the Wild was at 24 million. And that is not even including how much Bethesda games typically sell, so BoTW is unlikely to beat both combined. All three will sell extremely well, although BoTW 2 will probably sell the most.
I am not a big fan of open world games so both BotW 2 and Starfield don't interest me much. I will try both in hopes that they will hook me but I have never liked a Bethesda game so far and did not like BotW. Can't wait for God of War Ragnarok as I have loved every game in that series. Will be playing that one first for sure.
Technically, BotW2 wouldn't be delayed. Aonuma said they were aiming for 2022, not that it would release in 2022. Tricky wording for sure, but it gives them an out if they need it.
God of War by a lot. No idea when I'll get around to Starfield as fuck trying to get another console anytime soon and my PC sucks. And I'll get around to BoTW 2 eventually, but with a few big open world games next year I'll be very burnt out on them by November most likely.
God of War is coming to PC too, no?
PC is not inherently Windows. Proton/Steam Deck is a thing 😉
But both God of War and Fallout 4 sold over 20 million, just like BOTW (which sits at 24 mill currently). None of them are going to vastly outsell each other.
Yep, it's coming to PC also. There's probably a good chance Ragnarok will go to PC as well.
1. Zelda Breath of the Wild 2
2. God of War Ragnarok
I am very interested in God of War Ragnarok as I really like the PS4 reboot, especially after the series went kind of stale with 3 (I played all of them except Ascension) and it is one of my most wanted games for 2022.
That being said Breath of the Wild was fantastic so I seriously can't wait to play another entry in that series.
No interest in Starfield at all. Tried many Bethesda Games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3) and Fallout 3 was the only one I finished. They make good games but they are just not for me.

There is probably a chance you will be able to rip botw2 with a modded switch and play it on an emulator on PC. I guess none of these are exclusives :p
The whole on PC so not an exclusive is funny. You still pretty much have to be on a MS system be it Windows or Xbox.
BotW is my favorite game so obviously I'm looking forward to it, to put it midly. But Starfield is such a wild card, it's so exciting. I've loved their RPGs in the past but didn't care for Fallout 4, but their games are always like events and the sci fi angle they're going for has so much promise.
Also, I voted Starfield because it's the new IP of the 3. GoW will be crazy good, same with BoTW, and we know what to expect. Starfield is the dark horse in the sense where we haven't seen any gameplay and can be wowed by whatever direction they take the game.
At the end of the day 2022 is gonna be a good year for gaming.

Starfield I guess. BotW is a close second, I find myself not enjoying playing on Switch anymore.
Switch 4K or Switch 2 can't come soon enough.
Ragnarok will be great, but I feel like it won't be that much different to the first one. I kinda know what to expect already.

2 of these games aren't dropping in November 2022. Starfield is the only choice since it's the only one I'm confident will release.
I can wait on GoW. BotW2 may just end up being the same game that I didn't enjoy.
Starfield might be multi-planetary Skyrim. I imagine it as the next Mass Effect. 100% in.

Hence why I said Windows and not PC. Windows accounts for 96.14% of Steam users. Steam doesn't account for 96.14% of Windows users.
2.70% is OSX leaving 1.16% for Linux.
I'd say Windows is carrying Steam.
Starfield, mainly because it's a new IP and that's always more exciting. I also really like sci-fi settings and RPG's.
I don't think Zelda makes it next year.
Starfield: Waiting for reviews, but interested!
I really liked GoW but I have very little interest in the sequel.
