In the world of gaming, the term “Year of Dreams” often gets tossed around. With that in mind, I believe 2025 is shaping up to be a serious contender for the best year ever. Just take a look at some of the potential Game of the Year contenders: Ghost of Yōtei, Fable, Elden Ring: Nightreign, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Grand Theft Auto 6, to name a few. However, for me, one game stands out above the rest: Assassin’s Creed Shadows. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this game since before it was even announced. Originally slated for a 2024 release, Ubisoft decided to give it more time for polish, and I can’t wait to see the results.
So, why is Assassin’s Creed Shadows my most anticipated game of 2025? To explain, I need to address why other upcoming games don’t excite me as much. It’s actually pretty simple: too much is either unknown or overly predictable.
Take Rockstar’s GTA 6, for example. Many people tout it as their most anticipated game, and it even won an award for that at The Game Awards recently. While GTA 6 is highly anticipated for me as well, we’ve seen very little of it so far....
