Keeping track of every new video game release is a nearly impossible task. Ggames are constantly being announced, delayed, rereleased on new platforms, remastered, canceled — you get the point. With the upcoming games lineup constantly shifting on PC, Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and mobile, it can be hard to find games to look forward to playing (and to budget for) in the coming months.

Despite the herculean task of tracking an entire year of video game release dates, we're giving it our best shot. Check out this month-by-month schedule of new video game releases. We're focusing mainly on highly anticipated titles with concrete release dates, but will also include little-known indies and keep an eye on launch plans for up-in-the-air titles like Grand Theft Auto 6 or games that are still very early on in development like Hogwarts Legacy 2 or The Last of Us Part 3. If you're looking to get a quick glance at the future of video games, this is the place. We'll keep this list updated and as accurate as possible at regular intervals.

The most intriguing game in its lineup, though, isn’t a glitzy game from a pre-existing franchise; it’s something entirely new.

South of Midnight is the latest game from We Happy Few developer Compulsion games, and the studio’s first project since being acquired by Microsoft in 2018. The action-adventure project, set to launch in 2025, is unique in two key ways. For one, it has a unique visual style that makes it look like a playable stop-motion film. It’s also a video game set in a place that few big-budget games have ever deeply explored: America’s deep South. It’s a magical realist story inspired by Southern gothic literature and folktales from the region.
