10 Gaming Announcements We DON'T Want in 2025!

Please, No! The Most Hated Gaming Announcements We Might See in 2025 🚫

The gaming industry has delivered some incredible reveals over the years, but it has also given us some truly disastrous moments. As we head into 2025, excitement is high for massive releases, hardware upgrades, and long-awaited sequels. But with that excitement comes a fair amount of concern—because we all know the industry isn’t immune to bad decisions.

From potential delays of GTA 6 to ridiculous $100 game price tags, there are plenty of worst-case scenarios that could turn 2025 into a year of frustration instead of celebration. Will we see more live service cash grabs, another botched launch, or gaming trends no one asked for? We certainly hope not. Here are 10 gaming announcements we absolutely DON’T want to see this year.

1️⃣ GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 🚔

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ The hype is unreal—players have waited over a decade for a new GTA.
✅ Rockstar’s silence is concerning, making some fear a delay is coming.
✅ A rushed release would be worse, but waiting another year? Brutal.

📌 Most Likely? Maybe. Rockstar hasn't confirmed a release date beyond "Fall 2025." If we hear "We're delaying to 2026", it will break the internet—for the wrong reasons.

2️⃣ More Live Service Games Nobody Asked For 🛑💰

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Oversaturation—2024 already had way too many failed live service launches.
✅ Devs waste resources trying to make the next Fortnite, instead of good single-player games.
✅ Helldivers 2 proved you can make a great online experience without forcing a battle pass grind.

📌 Most Likely? Unfortunately, yes. The industry refuses to learn its lesson. Expect at least a few big publishers to double down on the live service dream (and probably fail).

3️⃣ Fantastic (The Day Before Devs) Announce a New Game 💀

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ They already burned all trust with the Day Before fiasco (asset theft, bad marketing, total failure).
✅ Their Kickstarter for a new game was instantly exposed as shady.
✅ The gaming world does not need another disaster like this.

📌 Most Likely? Hopefully not, but if they try to make a comeback in 2025? Instant red flag.

4️⃣ Bloodborne 10th Anniversary Comes and Goes With NOTHING 🩸😡

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Fans deserve a remaster or sequel—not just a social media post.
✅ Bloodborne still doesn’t have a PS5 upgrade for 60 FPS.
✅ Sony ignoring one of its most beloved games? Painful.

📌 Most Likely? Sadly, yes. While fans pray for a remake or PC port, Sony seems uninterested in reviving the game.

5️⃣ More Big Games Skipping Xbox ❌🎮

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Black Myth: Wukong already skipped Xbox due to Series S limitations.
✅ Monster Hunter Wilds is rumored to favor PlayStation.
✅ If this trend continues, Xbox players will miss out on major titles.

📌 Most Likely? Yes, but not completely. Microsoft needs to convince devs that Series S won’t hold back development.

6️⃣ Nintendo Switch 2 is Underwhelming 🔋

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ The original Switch is old—fans expect a big power jump this time.
✅ If it’s weaker than a PS4, third-party games will struggle to run on it.
✅ Nintendo needs to prove they can compete with modern hardware.

📌 Most Likely? Somewhat. While it will be stronger than the Switch, there’s worry it might still be underpowered at launch.

7️⃣ Ubisoft Announces More NFT Games 🚫📉

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Ubisoft already launched 2 NFT games in 2024—and they flopped.
✅ The NFT gaming trend is dead, but Ubisoft keeps pushing it.
✅ Instead of investing in good games, they waste time on pointless blockchain experiments.

📌 Most Likely? Sadly, yes. Ubisoft still believes in NFTs, even though gamers don’t.

8️⃣ No News on Marvel’s Wolverine 🦸‍♂️

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ PlayStation barely had first-party exclusives in 2024—they need a big reveal.
✅ Wolverine was announced in 2021, and we still don’t have a real gameplay trailer.
✅ Fans are starving for an update from Insomniac.

📌 Most Likely? Hopefully not. With Spider-Man 2 behind them, Insomniac should be ready to show more Wolverine soon.

9️⃣ Xbox Abandoning Hardware & Going Third-Party 🤯

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Xbox Series X/S is only a few years old—they shouldn’t give up yet.
✅ If Xbox goes full third-party, there’s less competition in gaming.
✅ Phil Spencer’s comments suggest big changes are coming.

📌 Most Likely? Probably not in 2025—but the rumors aren’t going away.

🔟 $80-$100 Standard Game Prices Become the Norm 💰🎮

Why It Would Be a Disaster:
✅ Games already cost $70—pushing it to $80 or $100 is insane.
✅ The fear is that GTA 6 will set a precedent by charging more.
✅ Once one big game does it, others will follow.

📌 Most Likely? Not immediately, but some publishers may test the waters—especially with massive releases like GTA 6.

🚨 Will These Disasters Actually Happen?

Some of these worst-case scenarios seem likely—others, we hope never see the light of day.

✅ GTA 6? Probably safe—but delays are always possible.
✅ NFTs & live service oversaturation? Guaranteed. Some publishers never learn.
✅ Bloodborne Remaster & Wolverine? If PlayStation doesn’t deliver, fans won’t be happy.
✅ $100 game prices? A terrifying possibility—let’s hope it stays a bad idea and not a new standard.
