What are your most anticipated games of next year? I’m pretty excited about Elden Ring, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Forspoken, Horizon Forbidden West, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Hogwarts Legacy and God of War: Ragnarok.
However, my number one anticipated title is Elden Ring. I got a taste of the game during the ‘Closed Network Test’ that ran from November 12th to the 15th and played it for roughly 10-12 hours. Now, I can’t wait to get my hands on the game officially.
