VGChartz’s Mark Nielsen: “While 2024 was by no means a weak year for games, it was a bit of a calm one when it came to big releases to established franchises. The same definitely cannot be said for 2025 – not, at least, as things look right now. Whether it’s the return of long dormant series, the first follow-up to a well-received title, or another entry in a series that’s been on a roll as of late, there’s a lot to look forward to in 2025; so much so that even the five esteemed games on our shortlist feel like they only cover a small piece of it.”
