Prioritize franchise follow-ups and remasters if you want to start with familiar worlds (examples include long-running series and the Tomb Raider IV–VI remaster).
Use the list as a planning baseline—since it’s not guaranteed to be fully comprehensive, keep an eye out for additional announcements as 2025 approaches.
