Most Anticipated Games of 2027 So Far
2027 already looks packed. Dates move and some of these are only windows, so this is accurate as of Oct 16 2026.
Q1 2027
Metroid Ravenous (Switch 2, Jan 28). It’s Nintendo’s first new 2D Metroid since Metroid Dread, revealed in the Sept 9 Direct.
February’s big five (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and more, Feb 4 to Feb 23). Metro 2039, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, God of War Laufey, Persona 4 Revival and Fable all have February dates. I’m covering them in a separate post.
Lords of the Fallen II (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, PC, Q1 2027). CI Games moved it from fall 2026, and there’s no exact date yet.
Spring 2027
Exodus (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Apr 7). It’s a sci-fi RPG from Archetype Entertainment, a studio founded by former BioWare developers.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, PC, Apr 8). It closes out the remake trilogy and launches on every platform at once.
Kirby and the World Beyond (Switch 2, spring 2027). It’s a 3D Kirby game shown in the Sept 9 Direct, with no exact date.
Sometime in 2027
Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves (Switch 2, 2027). Both are Switch 2 exclusives with an open world and a new region. There’s no month yet.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, 2027 at the earliest). Amy Hennig’s game has already slipped from 2025 and then early 2026, and it has no date.
Not 2027
The Witcher 4 (platforms TBA, 2028 target). CD Projekt Red says it’s targeting 2028, so don’t plan around it.
A note for a computer from 2017
My computer from 2017 can’t run new games, so most of this list is a no. The Switch 2 and PlayStation games are out entirely, and I’ll keep playing older, lighter stuff.
Which one are you saving money for?
