After a disastrous year for the video game industry, 2025 looks to be a much brighter and busier year — if only because Rockstar Games is planning to release Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025, with Nintendo promising to deliver a successor to its wildly popular Switch console and a slew of modern games to release alongside it.
These aren’t the only highly anticipated sequels coming in 2025. Video game fans can also look forward to Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, Death on the Stranding 2, Doom: Dark AgesNew Fairy tale, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Monster Hunter Wilds, Pokémon Legends: FORAND Destroy Spire 2In addition to the sequels, there are a few other gigantic bets on the 2025 calendar, such as Marvel 1943: Rise of the Hydra, PeepholeRiot Fighting Game 2XKOAND South of NorthSuffice it to say that right now it looks like this year is going to be very, very crucial.
Video game release dates are constantly changing, so Polygon’s guide to modern video games coming in 2025 will be updated regularly with modern titles, release dates, and (inevitable) delays.
