The gaming year 2025 is approaching the hot months when it comes to exciting new releases for gaming enthusiasts. MeinMMO reveals which potential gems you can look forward to until the end of December.
Most summer events like the Summer Game Fest and the gamescom are fading into the rearview mirror, and thus many of the games that will accompany us through the remaining gaming year 2025 are now known.
But which small and big new releases should you keep an eye on? What potential highlights could shape 2025? MeinMMO answers these questions below, focusing on the games that actually have a final release date for the upcoming 4 months – Sorry, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Through our table of contents, you can jump to the sections of interest to you:
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Genre: Metroidvania | Release: September 4, 2025 | Platform: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, PC (Steam) | Developer: Team Cherry | USK: / | Model and Price: €19.99
Silksong is the sequel to one of the highest-rated games of all time (on Steam, almost 400,000 reviews boast a 97% positive rating). And since Team Cherry’s debut has been around for over 8 years, it’s no surprise that many fans are now eagerly awaiting the sequel.
However, Hollow Knight: Silksong has taken quite a long time to arrive following the official announcement. So long that at events like the Summer Game Fest, it became somewhat of a running gag to wait for the announcement of the release date.
This summer, everything suddenly moved quickly. First, there was a sign of life, then the release date, which was suddenly just around the corner, and if you’re reading this, you might already be able to download and play Silksong.
What awaits you is likely an atmospheric Metroidvania adventure that offers beautiful areas, challenging platforming sections, and hopefully another emotionally gripping story. At gamescom, one could already get a first impression: A player achieves a speedrun in Hollow Knight: Silksong even though the game has not yet been released
