As is traditional, The Game Awards 2024 didn’t just hand out fancy-looking prizes to the best games of the last 12 months, it played host to plenty of new announcements and trailers.

There werea fair few big sci-fi titlesshown for the first time, but also several from the other side of the fictional coin too – fantasy. It seems we have plenty of sword and sorcery software treats to look forward to in the next couple of years.

Here then are my five picks of bunch, which will release onXbox Series X/S,PS5, Switch and/or PC in 2025 or beyond.

Slay the Spire 2

The sequel to one of the best deck building RPGs around,Slay the Spire 2looks to feature much of the same, but with (slightly) higher production values and more variety in location and monster types.

We don’t yet have the entire platform list, but it is guaranteed to be coming for PC at the very least, thanks to a pre-registration page on Steam already.

The Witcher 4

One of the biggest games to appear at this years Games Awards,The Witcher 4trailer centres on Ciri rather than Geralt, although the latter will undoubtedly appear in the final build.

CD Projekt Red will certainly want to take its time over this sequel considering it had to spend more than a year patching the console version of Cyberpunk 2077 before it was considered of a high enough standard.

That means it is highly unlikely we’ll see the game in shops anytime soon. Still, we can get excited nonetheless.

Shadow Labyrinth – Reveal Trailer - YouTube

Bandai Namco’s Metroidvania action-platformer is a touch odd, especially as it stars none other than Pac-Man,

You still get the puzzles and hack-‘n-slash shenanigans of a Castlevania kind of fantasy setting, but crossed with… well… Pac-Man. There’s even a “maze” to escape and dots to gobble up, just not in the way you’d expect.

It’ll be released in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Solasta 2

As withSolsta: Crown of the Magister, the sequel will be more of a tactical role-playing game – emulating tabletop equivalents that have been popular since the 80s.

It’ll be available in early access on PC first. And while there’s no word yet on a console release, the original is available for Xbox and PS5, so fingers crossed.

Game of Thrones Kingsroad

Perhaps somewhat surprising considering HBO’s Game of Thrones finished more than five years ago,Game of Thrones: Kingsroadis a new, open-world action-RPG set during the events of the original series.

The game will put you in the shoes of a new character but also feature some of the big names, such as Jon Snow and Jamie Lannister.

It’s not yet clear which platforms it’ll be released on – onlyiOSandAndroidhave been mentioned so far – but I’d imagine we’ll find out more about it in the coming months.
