God of War Ragnarok broke the internet with its latest trailer, showing Kratos and a much bigger Atreus facing family strife as they take on Freya, Thor, and the impending Ragnarok. Eric Willaims has taken over directing duties from Cory Barlog, and the story will see father and son travel to new realms like Vanaheim, Svartalfheim, and Asgard and meet new characters like Angrboda and Odin. This will be the final part of God of War's Norse saga.
6. Nightingale
Platform(s): PC
Release date: TBC 2022
Nightingale comes from former BioWare boss Aaryn Flynn. First revealed during the Game Awards 2021, Nightingale is described as a "shared-world survival game" that takes place in a Victorian fantasy setting. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? You'll be able to play the survival adventure solo or with friends and other players you meet in the world. According to the official site, testing is set to go live sometime next year, so it looks like we can expect to see a Beta at some stage.
7. Starfield
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC
Release date: November 11, 2022
Bethesda's first new IP in 25 years, Starfield, is so wrapped up in mystique and profundity right now, that we're not even sure if it'll be releasing on this generation of console hardware. Here's what we do know: it's set an open world RPG set in space, and Bethesda has been working on it for years. Sorry, but that's about it for now, but at least the studio was kind enough to confirm its existence after so many whispers amongst the industry. Given Bethesda's pedigree, Starfield is now one of the most promising titles of the future, and I can't wait to play it, even if it might not launch until we get our hands on next-gen consoles.

The famous blue hedgehog is back for a new adventure where you'll experience what is described as "open-zone freedom". Taking on powerful foes as you make your way through Starfall islands, you'll find yourself speeding across forested areas, desertland, and more. The debut cinematic trailer which was showcased during the Game Awards 2021 gave us a look at some of these landscapes, with towering structures and vast waterfalls.
10. Pokemon Scarlet And Violet
Platform(s): Nintendo Switch
Release date: Late 2022
There's another Pokemon game coming in 2022, and it's a duo. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are arriving towards the end of the year and will deliver a truly open-world adventure. Building on what we got with Pokemon Legends: Arceus, this will be a world with no borders, allowing you to explore freely and catch Pokemon. It'll also introduce the Gen 9 Pokedex, and be based on Spanish / Mediterranean cities.
