Rainbow Six Extraction is kind of the Left 4 Dead of the famous Rainbow series. We work individually or as a team through the operators, leading the team and trying to survive against the parasites.

Aiming to present the purest of classical martial arts, Sifu isn’t trying to dazzle with flashy wall runs or impossible moves.

- Release Date: February 15
- Developer: Koei Tecmo
- Publisher: Koei Tecmo
Dynasty Warriors series, one of the popular games of Asia, dating back to ancient times and not very popular in the west, comes up with a new game. We can say that Dynasty Warriors, which has a very unusual gameplay on the west side, embodies the “one-man army” analogy in the game.

- Release Date: February 17
- Developer: SNK
- Publisher: SNK, Koch Media
King of Fighter series, which has a considerable place, although not as much as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, is one of the games that occupies a large place in the history of fighting games.

- Release Date: February 18
- Developer: Guerilla Games

Although Horizon Zero Dawn did not manage to leave a bomb-like effect on the market during its debut, it also managed to conquer hearts with its unique theme. Our game that reminds us of its name even though it has been 4 years since the release of the first game. With its strong main character and post-apocalyptic world, it seems like it will make players hunt robots again.
Elden Ring: Fully open world and fluid combat graphics experience
- Release Date: February 25
- Developer: From Software
- Publisher: Bandai Namco
Elden Ring was a game that we have been talking about for a few years and that made itself curious. Elden Ring, the highly anticipated new game of From Software, which has managed to bring the souls-like genre to the gaming community, finally has a clear date as February 25. Aiming to blend the success and experience it gained in Dark Soul and Sekiro in Elden Ring, From Software seems to have aimed for a different perspective, especially with its open world and more fluid combat dynamics compared to classic souls games.

- Release Date: March 18
- Developer: Koei Tecmo
- Publisher: Square Enix
Stranger of Paradise, which has a slightly lower hype train compared to the old games of the series, seems to create a different taste, especially with its direct action sequences instead of turn-based gameplay. Years ago, a game that went beyond turn-based gameplay was tried once again. But it didn’t end well. We hope that Stranger of Paradise does not suffer the same fate.

The Borderlands universe, which we know with its absurdities and absurdities, comes up with a brand new game.

- Release Date: April 28
- Developer: GSC Game World
- Publisher: GSC Game World
Stalker series, one of the oldest and quality RPG games of its time, seems to be on the rise again, although it has been buried in the dusty pages of history for a very long time. Getting the same treatment as Fallout when it comes to RPGs, the Stalker series calls up the hype train for action RPG fans with its new game, Heart of Chernobyl.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong: Will it regain its former popularity?
- Release Date: May 19
- Developer: Big Bad Wolf
- Publisher: Nacon
One of the most talked about game series of the time, Vampire: The Masquerade series has been trying to hold on to the market recently. The recently released battle royale game received a worse-than-expected response and was delayed to spring 2022 to re-release. Although Swanson is a more surprising game, Bloodline may be the game that will bring the series back to its former popularity.

- Publisher: Endnight Games
Named as the sequel to the famous survival game Forest, Sons of the Forest, although we do not know much about it yet, it is certain that it will have a somewhat disturbing atmosphere as far as Forest knows.

Saints Row: Be the boss of your own gang
- Release Date: August 23
- Developer: Volition
- Publisher: Deep Silver
The Saints Row series, which added a lot of nonsense to the crime-filled world of Grand Theft Auto and gained its own fame, is again in flesh and blood through Volition. As usual, we lead our own gang as the boss and turn the world upside down. Saints Row is planning to serve it in front of us by adding a pinch of today’s theme as well as the usual madness.
Starfield: Everyone will get enough of pretending
- Release Date: November 11
- Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
- Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Starfield, announced as Bethesda’s new franchise, seems to satiate everyone who plays, considering that Bethesda is in the background. Starfield, which has supported background stories, bloody wars and galactic mysteries with the videos it has released since its announcement at E3, always tries to keep the element of curiosity high.
