After two long years of COVID and lockdowns, 2022 will finally see releases for some of the most anticipated games.
Unfortunately, the list of games for 2022 isn't exhaustive. Moreover, a good number of upcoming games are titles slated to be released in 2020-21 but were pushed back. Yet others are simply re-releases or remasters of older games.
But whatever the case may be, 2022 will undoubtedly be one of the best years for gaming in quite some time now.

3) Starfield
Marking Bethesda's departure from their staple Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, Starfield will take players on an epic galaxy-wide (possibly universal) quest.

4) God of War: Ragnarok
The long-awaited (about 4 years in the making) sequel to 2018's Norse entry in the God of War series, this game follows Kratos and his son Atreus (who is now more grown up) taking on the Norse gods.

5) Dying Light 2 Stay Human
After over 7 years of waiting, fans are finally getting a sequel to the open-world survival horror game that broke the first month's sales record of a new survival-horror IP. With more open world exploration and neat parkour mechanics, the decisions you make in this game will significantly effect the world around you.
Release Date: February 4, 2022
Publisher: Techland
Metacritic Rating: TBD
Get it here.
6) Hellblade Senua's Saga
Players will return to the dark and harrowing Norse world, taking control of a darker version of Senua, in contrast to the last game. With a mix of survival horror and hack-n-slash, this deep dive into Norse mythology is a welcome change from RPGs and FPS games.
Release Date: 2022
Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
Metacritic Rating: TBD
Get it here.
7) God of War (PC)
After over 16 years, Kratos is finally arriving on PC. The Norse outing of the series is one of the best entries yet for newcomers and veterans alike. Get ready to swing and throw the Leviathan again, but this time with a mouse and keyboard.
