You know what it is like initially of a brand new yr. You’re all excited concerning the many tens and a whole bunch of latest video video games popping out over the following 12 months, and also you go and make a giant record of all those you are actually trying ahead to. We did precisely that again in January of this yr, arising with an inventory of our 43 most anticipated video games of 2022. Lately, although, it appears we won’t go a single day with out phrase of one more sport being delayed, whether or not it is simply by a few months, or that it has been taken off the calendar solely.

It received me pondering. How a lot of these 43 video games are even nonetheless on the desk this yr? And, extra importantly, what does that imply for RPS as we head into the back-end of 2022? Well, I went again and counted, people, and it isn’t nice studying. At time of writing, simply over half that quantity – 27 in whole – are nonetheless slated for a 2022 launch proper now, though with many nonetheless listed as a really imprecise ‘2022’ or ‘Coming Soon’ on their Steam pages, I would not be stunned if that quantity fell additional. Needless to say, I’m unsure 2022 will go down as one of many nice gaming years… 2023, then again? Wow, that is trying rad.
