Well it turns out 2021 was actually a lot more like 2020 than we all would have wanted, who could have seen that coming? Could 2022 be the year we finally return to relative normality? I can’t tell you that, but I can tell you about 50 of the most anticipated new games due for release in 2022. We’ve assembled them all into one big trailer compilation with no commentary and all the fat trimmed for your viewing pleasure. Or if that’s a little too hefty for you then keep scrolling for a more lightweight text-based version where clicking a game will take you to the relevant timestamp in the video.
Note that inevitably some of these release dates and platforms will have changed since this was first posted.
