What games are the most anticipated for 2025?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. 2025 is finally here. Is this the year we get the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6? Will Silksong ever release? Will Avowed live up to the hype? Who knows? But we're about to spend the next hour talking about our most anticipated games of 2025. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he can't wait for the release of Dave the Diver. And he's pretty sure Redfall probably won't win Game of the Year this time. Maybe. It's Ryan.
Oh, come on. The Redfall. I was new. I was new, man. I was like, okay, that's a pretty good trailer. Like, I'm into it. And you guys are like, oh gosh, who's this guy?
I thought Redfall looked pretty good at first, Ryan. And then I went, oh no.
I will say you also just cost us another year for the game that should not be named.
You mentioned that earlier, by the way. Yeah. So you typed it out, which is even worse. And joining us... He's that beloved old game you boot up from time to time, but you can't quite remember where you left off or what any of the buttons do. It's Paul!
It's me! I'm here for another episode. And by the way, Josh, you should know by now, Silksong does not exist. It's not a real game.
The real question in this episode is going to be, is somebody going to wind up with Silksong? Silksong, $1, please. Oh, my goodness. It's like, you know, it doesn't work for other people, but maybe it'll work for us. Oh, we are here. It's 2025, gentlemen. Paul, thank you for joining us for this episode. We had to call in a favor. You owed us a couple. And you said, I'm a man of my word. I'll show up for this. Really, you just did it for the listeners because you didn't want to subject them to just me and Ryan doing this.
It's also very hard to do a two-person draft. It definitely helps to have that third person. And I love the format of this episode. This is one of my favorite things. I had to come back and do it. I'm so excited. It's a great way to break down the upcoming year, but to also throw in that extra twist and to have some fun with it.
Yeah, yeah. We're going to explain. Actually, I'm going to have you explain the rules here in just a second to everybody, Paul. But first, a touch of housekeeping. You know, by the way, we did have a lot of reviews, but this episode is going to be a long episode anyway. So we are holding those reviews. But for everybody that has left us a review and is waiting for your review to be read on the show, hang in there. We'll get to those, I promise. But we're going to focus on the upcoming games in 2025 on this one. But we do have a new supporter to thank. By the name of Fitner John, who signed up for legendary status. Legend! Fitner John has been a fan of the show. Actually, really, really awesome dude. We've been chatting in DMs a good bit. And then he just joined our Discord server this morning. And then lo and behold, five minutes later, baby, just legendary. So we see you. We appreciate you, Fitner John. Thank you, man.
John's a really, really good dude.
Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. He is. Yep. So. All right, Paul, I'm just I'm going to throw it to you because we're going to be talking about the most anticipated games of 2025. But just mentioning them would be too boring. That's not our style. We've got to turn it into a game. We got to turn it into a competition. We need to see who's going to be crowned the king of choosing games for a year. So, Paul, why don't you explain what this episode is and kind of how we go about it?
Okay, so we did this for the first time for 2024, and I hope, whether I'm included or not, that this continues every year here on out. The way that we do this is we all have a fictional $200 budget, and we are going to be doing an auction draft. If you've played fantasy football, you're probably somewhat aware of it. Basically, the way it works is one of the three of us nominate a game that is set for release in 2025. And then basically auction style, we can outbid each other. We keep going until going, going gone. You just got that game at that price point. All three of us have to draft a total of eight games. So for you math nerds out there like me, that's an average of $25 a game.
