Naturally,GTA VIis the year’s big headliner, but it’s far from being the only highly anticipated release.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII,Assassin’s CreedShadows, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds, Atomfall, Borderlands 4, Crimson Desert, Little Nightmares III,Death Stranding2: On The Beach, DOOM: The Dark Ages,Ghost of Yōtei, andPokémonLegends Z-Aare just a few of the year’s potential hits.

Personally, I am counting down the hours untilProfessor Layton and the New World of Steamis in my hands.

Today though, I’d like to highlight another game you should perhaps be keeping an eye on, particularly if you’re aPCuser.

More so if you’re a PC user who enjoys the likes ofElden RingandThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Let me introduce you toSoulframewhich has confirmed a 2025 release window.

Take a look atSoulframein action below.

When I first sawSoulframe, it very much reminded me of Studio Ghibli’sPrincess Mononoke, so I’ll throw that in as a bonus comparison.

“Washed ashore on the northern isle of Midrath, a new adventure begins. Omen beasts in Ode’n chain bellow in mourning. The voicing trees sag ‘long tortured streams. The worldflesh of Alca splits with rage,” a cryptic synopsis teases.

“Who will find the Silvern Seas and awaken our Ancestors? Who will learn the melodies of soul unbinding, and break the gaunting spellsong? Who will hold in their heart the wanderers, the wild, the world? You will, Envoy.”

There’s still much we don’t know about the game, but it has recently been confirmed that players will be able to team-up in co-op, withSoulframehaving a major focus in its story on players restoring the game’s world.

MyPrincess Mononokecomparison is actually bang on - a point to me - as devs previously confirmed the inspiration in a press release.

“WithSoulframe’s worldbuilding and thematic elements, we are really looking to go back to our childhood favourites likeNeverEnding Storyand those elaborate fantasy worlds,” it read.

“Our team has a fond love for Miyazaki andPrincess Mononokewhere there is this idea of nature and humanity colliding and we’ll be exploring a lot of themes around nature, restoration, and exploration in this new title.”

Soulframehasn’t confirmed a release date beyond a vague 2025, and there isn’t even a Steam page for you to wishlist the title yet, but we’ll be keeping an eye on its development.
