3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Feel like a weak year for games? (lemmy.world)

Seems like not a lot of stuff has come out this year, not sure if it's just me or what.

I wanted to make a list of upcoming titles to look for and it's kind of dire. Found this:

and this:

Looking at April:

Maybe Grounded (PS5, Switch) - April 16 if they do a physical edition, which I believe they are.

Stellar Blade (PS5) - April 26

After that...

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 (Xbox Series X|S, PC) - May 21

System Shock (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) - May 21

I guess we'll have to wait for whatever announcements are going to happen in June when we would have had E3 to see how the rest of the year looks...

The problem you've got is that the two lists that you're looking at are ones with concrete release dates, and we're currently in the period of the year where the release dates are the hardest to come by. Basically everyone's either just started their fiscal Q1 and so have a completely clear slate, or like Microsoft have just started their Fiscal Q4 which means all they've got left on the slate are the delayed stragglers.
