Every year, the team at TheGamerdoes a fantasy draft for video games.
It’s like fantasy football, but dorkier.
Then again, also less work, so maybe nerds will rule the world.
It doesn’t matter who wins, but since you asked, last year it was me.
It always gives mea fresh perspective on the year ahead, and 2025 is no different.
2025 is the year of Maybe, Baby.
That’s a lot of games.
But the draft never got that far, because there is so much Maybe in the air.
My perfectly constructed list of dark horse indies never came into play.
That’s not to say these games won’t be good.
That’s my whole point.
I knewTekken 8would score well.
I knewFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwould score well.
I knewLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthwould score well.
That’s not the case in 2025.

I’m personally rooting hard forGhost of Yotei, but withTsushimascoring 83, it’snot a sure thing.
Last year, not one of these games came out.
This editor has alsopicked Silksong first three years in a row - we fear for him.

The point is, this year there was a rush to pick unannounced games.
This is another way 2025 is a year of Maybe.
If they don’t, it will be bland and forgettable with a few standouts amongst the chaff.
It’s all Maybe, Baby.
We just have to wait and see.
