The moments set to shape video games in 2025


We preview the year ahead in video game discourse: the biggest moments, releases, anniversaries and announcements set to come in 2025 that'll define the medium.

There were, also, still a couple of big reveals, most notably Amy Hennig's new venture Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra at the show's annual State of Unreal conference, which is typically focused on the engine tech behind the games themselves. Nintendo likes to go pretty big on its anniversaries, and so it wouldn't be a stretch to expect news of some kind, even if it's just another theme park ride or a few more classic games coming out of the Switch Online vault.
