What video games are there to look forward to in 2022? There are some older favourites being re-released on new platforms, a lot of exciting new games to look forward to, and some more under-the-radar titles that we're excited for.
Among them, we have the much-anticipated Elden Ring in February, and Starfield in November (we hope), as well as an abundance of indie titles and re-releases to keep players entertained throughout 2022.
Here, we have listed all the video games and their release dates during 2022 by month, and we have also noted which platforms they're going to become available on. Additionally, there are plenty of games expected during 2022 that don't have a release date scheduled just yet; you can find them under 'TBC'.
