It also includes a handful of titles from last year’s list that were delayed beyond 2020, which is to say that nothing’s guaranteed when it comes to video game release dates. In other words, it includes FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, Nintendo’s sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Blizzard’s Overwatch 2, highly anticipated games that don’t have confirmed release dates, but which we’ve known about for years. Our look forward at the games of 2021 includes plenty of optimism. But 2021 promises some wonderful games too, including many we hoped we’d be playing already.

If you’re reading this, congratulations: You made it to 2021.
