The year 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in gaming, especially for fans who have been waiting nearly a decade for certain titles. Major releases like Silksong, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Routine are finally making their debut after years of anticipation. These long awaited games have faced delays, reboots, and extended silence from developers, but now, players can look forward to experiencing them on new platforms and with fresh updates.
After seven years of development, Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, has been confirmed for release on September 4, 2025. Fans have been eagerly waiting for news since its announcement, and the official launch date has created a surge of excitement. With its polished gameplay, intricate world design, and challenging combat, Silksong is expected to be one of the biggest indie releases of the decade.
Another title that has been in development limbo is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. First revealed in 2017, the game underwent a complete reboot in 2019 when Nintendo handed development back to Retro Studios. After years of silence, it’s now confirmed as a major title for the Switch 2. Though no exact release date has been set, fans can finally see progress on a game that has been described internally as “very challenged” during its creation.
Indie horror fans can also celebrate as Routine, a retro-futuristic sci-fi horror game first teased in 2012, is finally set to launch in 2025. Originally planned for release almost a decade ago, the game has resurfaced with updated visuals, new mechanics, and a stronger publishing team behind it. After years of delays, its upcoming release highlights the determination of developers to bring their ambitious visions to life.
