What's your most anticipated game of 2021?
- Thread starter vivftp
- Start date
Halo Infinite. The next entry in gaming's best series. Double the development time as a standard Halo as well.
From what is still likely to hit:
1. Horizon Forbidden West
2. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
3. Buldurs Gate III (please!)
4. Kena
5. Returnal
6. Stray
7. FFVII Integrade
8. Little Devil Inside
9. The Ascent
10. Jett
In the unlikely event that GoW R or Elden Ring hit this year, they would also be way up there.

Monster Hunter Rise - hopefully is more balanced for 1P-offline play
Nier Replicant - came into the franchise with Automata. I have to know
RE Village - Don't really care for the franchise, but this might be their Bloodborne (a game that convinces people)
Deathloop - intrigued, but a bit worried about the design around that 2nd character
Ratchet and Clank - ready to feel again what Astro's Playroom introduced
Kena - these types of launch games usually feel rushed and with not enough depth... not this time. this looks really good and interesting
Ghostwire - My most anticipated

Deathloop, closely followed by Horizon Forbidden West.
Other than that, I also have Kena on my radar, and Swansong, I guess. That's it so far.

Halo Infinite for me. Obviously biased from being a massive Halo fan, but I have high hopes of Infinite returning Chief and the series to it's former glory days.
Confirmed?
Definitely Returnal or Space Hades, as some like to call it. The mix of Housemarque's trademark awesome gameplay tied to an intruiging sci-fi narrative with cosmic horror thrown in for good measure is incredibly alluring to me.

Deathloop has presented itself extremely well and the fact that it's currently two months away is the most exciting one for me. Like you alluded to in the OP, there's a bit of trepidation about anything releasing as intended because of Covid, so I'm waiting until we're less than a month away before I get tooooo carried away.
In a world where there was a 90% certainty that the games would hit this year, I'd talk to you about God of War and BOTW 2, but I don't have that confidence in those titles. So the game that I'm also very excited for - and believe will release this year - is Gotham Knights. As a fan of the Arkham games, I can't say I like all the changes that I've seen but a good single player story in Gotham has an immediate connection with me.

Halo
Kena and Returnal are making it mighty tempting to pick up a PS5. But Kena is a timed exclusive and I think I'll wait until the release of PSVR2 so the console might be a tad easier to get here in the UK.

Some of the ones I'm looking forward to this year:
Monster Hunter Rise (love that they've gona back to dowbloadable event quests)
Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville (been waiting for a offline version of those games ever since the first one)
Last Epoch (if it gets out of early access this year)
Binding of Isaac Repentance (still one of the best roguelikes out there)
Sifu (interestign setting and the combat system looks both satisfying and satisfying)
Resident Evil 8 (It's Resident Evil)
Back 4 blood (if it supports offline play)
Both Famicom Detective Club games (Love me some adventure games)
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (really excited about the change up to teh gameplayw ith third person and open world)

As a racing game fan its incredibly hard to be excited this year at the moment, especially as someone who prefers arcade racers. HOWEVER the fact there'll be a new Hotwheels game that could be good for the first time in 16 years (since Stunt Track Challenge on PS2) is a fantastic prospect, and that the new game will even have a track editor, which is something i love in games.. So yeah, Hot Wheels Unleashed is my most anticipated game at the moment.
Depends a lot of what actually makes it this year:
I'd love to play
BotW 2 and Elden Ring but I'm not sure either is gonna make it.
From the announced ones it's more likely I'll day 1 the Nier Remake.
It's always possible something comes completely out of the left field like Valheim, but this year is rather slim on the quantity of titles I'm looking forward to. The quality might be outstanding though.

there was no recent announcement that made me think "wow i really want to play that"
not even from companies i used to enjoy most games like obsidian. avowed did little for me.
guess i'm just coasting along and playing indies till i find something i like, i guess

It's between Psychonauts 2, Deathloop and Radio The Universe for me. Loop Hero comes out today so that's out of the list
