The year 2021 will end soon.

Time to look at next year's major game releases.

The gaming year 2021 had many highlights to offer: "Age of Empires 4", "Resident Evil Village", "Deathloop", "Returnal" and much more.

Even more exciting titles should have been published, but unfortunately there were many postponements on the part of the development studios.

It's now almost a habit for game releases to be delayed.

Among other things, the Harry Potter game "Hogwarts: Legacy" * has been postponed until next year, as has the next-gen version of "Cyberpunk 2077".

We already have two titles that we can look forward to in 2022.

You can find out which game highlights will be released next year here.

"Elden Ring"

If you look up the term “long awaited” in a dictionary, you will likely find “Elden Ring” alongside “GTA 6”.

The new game by the “Dark Souls” and “Bloodborne” developers is already the biggest highlight for fans for 2022. In November, a 20-minute gameplay video from “Elden Ring” was released.

This shows that the best of the previous From Software games has been combined and that new features such as

mounted combat or stealth have been

added.

In addition, the game offers a

large open game world

in which, as expected, countless secrets and difficult challenges have to be discovered again.

"Elden Ring" will be released on February 25th

on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One.

"God of War: Ragnarok"

“God of War: Ragnarök”

is without a doubt one of the most anticipated game highlights of the coming year alongside “Elden Ring”.

The sequel to "God of War" from 2018 - which revived the popular PlayStation series - will continue the action three years after its predecessor and delve

even deeper into Norse mythology

.

Of course, the focus is again on Kratos and his son Atreus, who oppose Nordic deities such as

Thor or Týr

.

Fans can look forward to a breathtaking experience full of brutal, action-packed battles and beautiful mystical landscapes.

"God of War: Ragnarök"

will be released exclusively for PS5 and PS4.

A release date has not yet been set.

There will also be a big highlight from Xbox and Bethesda next year.

The development studio, which is best known for the "Fallout" and "The Elder Scrolls" games, is releasing a brand new sci-fi franchise in 2022.

Not too much is known about "Starfield".

Bethesda's Todd Howard described the game as “Skyrim in Space,” which definitely sounds exciting.

Starfield should be at the top of the wish list for all Xbox gamers.

"Starfield"

will be released exclusively for Xbox Series X / S

and PC

.

The release date is

November 11, 2022

- eleven years to the day after the publication of "Skyrim".

"Zelda: Breath of the Wild" sequel

After Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo should of course not be missing. Probably the biggest highlight for Nintendo Switch next year will be the sequel to "Zelda: Breath of the Wild". A few months ago, Nintendo released new trailers for the game and gave a glimpse of what to expect. Nevertheless, much is still unknown. Among other things,

the official title of the game has not yet been revealed at all

because, according to the developers, it would reveal too much about the story. Fans can therefore be excited to see how the “Breath of the Wild” sequel continues the story. Certainly there will be plenty of new items, weapons, puzzles, enemies and dungeons for protagonist Link to explore.

The "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" sequel

is a Nintendo Switch exclusive.

A specific

release date has not yet been set

.

"Pokémon Legends: Arceus"

With “Pokémon Legends: Arceus”, Nintendo will have another highlight ready at the beginning of 2022.

The game is a further development of the popular "Pokémon" role-playing games, which have been one of the most popular Nintendo titles since the 1990s.

The gameplay of "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" remains largely unchanged, but it offers some interesting innovations.

Encounters with wild Pokémon do not trigger battles immediately, as in the previous editions.

Instead, players can sneak up slowly and throw a Poké Ball from under cover to catch the Pokémon.

Previous trailers for the game were very reminiscent of "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" due to the large game world.

"Pokémon Legends: Arceus"

will be released as an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch

on January 28, 2022

.

"Horizon Forbidden West"

"Horizon Zero Dawn" has won numerous fans thanks to its creative story, world and likeable protagonist Aloy.

In 2022 a sequel will be released with “Horizon Forbidden West”.

In it, players can expect an even larger game world, an improved combat system and many hidden secrets.

Another big innovation is underwater exploration.

In the sequel, Aloy ends up in well-known real places like San Francisco or Yosemite Valley.

In the second part, the slayer makes it her task to get to the bottom of a mysterious plague that kills anyone who is infected with it.

"Horizon Forbidden West"

will be released as an exclusive for PS5 and PS4

on February 18, 2022

.

"Marvel's Midnight Suns"

"Marvel's Midnight Suns" is an insider tip for Marvel fans.

"Marvel's Midnight Suns"

is a

tactical RPG

that explores the dark side of the Marvel universe.

The game is based on the comic "Midnight Sons", which appeared in the mid-1990s.

The story tells of a group of supernatural superheroes who fight against Lilith, the mother of demons.

Among others,

Captain

America

,

Iron Man

,

Captain Marvel

,

Doctor Strange

,

Wolverine

,

Ghost Rider

and

Blade are part of the party

.

Action-packed fights such as in "Spider-Man" or in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" game are not to be expected here.

Instead, “Marvel's Midnight Suns” relies on a tactical and turn-based combat system that is reminiscent of “Fire Emblem” or “XCOM”.

“Marvel's Midnight Suns”

will be launched

in March 2022

for Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PS4, PS5 and PC.

"Tiny Tina's Wonderlands"

"Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" is a spin-off from "Borderlands".

"Tiny Tina's Wonderlands"

is an offshoot of the popular loot shooter series "Borderlands".

The graphics are therefore very similar and use a rather colorful comic style.

Regarding the gameplay, players can expect what the "Borderlands" games made: shooting, looting, leveling and all over again.

The difference with "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" is that everything takes place in a crazy, but definitely creative fantasy world in which magic is also part of the game.

Of course, as in "Borderlands", there will be a co-op campaign with up to four players.

“Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

will be available

on March 25, 2022

for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One.

Tip for indie game fans: "OlliOlli World"

"OlliOlli World" is the third part of the "OlliOlli" games.

“OlliOlli World”

is not a blockbuster title like some of the previous games, but it is no longer an insider tip

either

.

After all, the “OlliOlli” series now has a lot of fans who are eagerly looking forward to the next part.

The principle of the game is basically very simple: With the

skateboard

under your feet, you have to drive different routes and achieve the highest possible high scores using combinations of

tricks

.

Therefore, the game is very similar to

"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater"

- however, it is characterized by its comic-like drawing style and pastel-colored game worlds.

“OlliOlli World”

will be available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One

in the first quarter of 2022
