2024 was an incredible year for roleplaying games (RPGs), and 2025 is shaping up to be just as exciting. Whether you’re eager to explore new worlds, revisit familiar settings, or enjoy revamped classics, the coming months are packed with thrilling adventures. Here’s a look at some of the most anticipated roleplaying games of the year.
Our top RPG picks
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a surprise hit, drawing players into a realistic medieval world. Set in 15th-century Bohemia, the game tells the story of Henry, a blacksmith’s apprentice, and delivers an immersive experience like no other.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, players will return to Bohemia with a game that promises to improve on every feature of its predecessor. Expect more ways to complete quests, smarter NPCs, an upgraded combat system, and a game world twice the size of the original. This sequel is set to keep fans hooked as Henry continues to shape his destiny.

Avowed
Obsidian Entertainment is known for creating some of the best RPGs, such as Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity. Now, they’re expanding the Pillars of Eternity universe with Avowed.
While initially described as Obsidian’s take on Skyrim, Avowed focuses more on storytelling and character development. Players will explore the Living Lands as an envoy of the Aedyr Empire, battling the Dream Scourge plague. With recruitable companions, a unique combat system combining magic and weapons, and rich exploration opportunities, Avowed looks to be another hit from the studio.

Elden Ring: Nightreign
FromSoftware amazed the gaming world with their award-winning RPG Elden Ring, and now they’re back with Elden Ring: Nightreign. This new entry takes a different approach, blending co-op gameplay with procedurally generated areas.
Players will team up with friends to survive for three days in a shrinking area filled with challenging bosses. With its mix of battle royale, co-op, and roguelite mechanics, Nightreign offers a fresh take on FromSoftware’s signature formula.

Fable
The beloved Fable series is making a comeback, with Playground Games taking the reins. Fans can expect to return to Albion, a world of magic, nature, and Shakespearean charm.
While details are limited, the game will likely feature the morality system that lets players choose between being a noble hero or a more sinister saviour. Whether you’ve been a fan since the early days or are new to the series, Fable promises to deliver an enchanting adventure.

Monster Hunter Wilds
Following the success of Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, CAPCOM is raising the stakes with Monster Hunter Wilds.
This entry offers massive open-world maps teeming with life, dynamic weather conditions, and thrilling hunts. Players can craft gear, build unique character setups, and use new gameplay mechanics like Focus Mode to target monster weaknesses. With its blend of exploration and action, Monster Hunter Wilds aims to be the biggest and best in the series.
