Which game studio is it finally time to see a reveal from in 2025?

[Lauren Morton]

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log, this week Mollie and I called in Morgan Park to talk about which developers we want to hear from in 2025. It's not lost on us that this episode went up right before The Game Awards on the same day so we were prepared for some of our predictions to be immediately proven or disproven. I'm proud of myself for managing to call Hazelight sharing their next game before that got confirmed for TGAs.

Which studio do you think it's finally time to hear from in 2025?​

One of my personal predictions that didn't get picked up at The Game Awards so I'm hoping to still see in 2025 is a proper reveal for the next game from Playdead. I'm a big enjoyer of Limbo and Inside and I really want to see where that studio is headed next even as I enjoy some of the creepy sidescrolling puzzlers in its wake like Planet Of Lana or Tiny Nightmares. I said it last year and I'll keep saying it every year: show us James Bond, IO Interactive!

I guess HL3 is out of the question?

Team Cherry should give us some gameplay and proper release time for:

Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steam

Discover a vast, haunted kingdom in Hollow Knight: Silksong! Explore, fight and survive as you ascend to the peak of a land ruled by silk and song.

store.steampowered.com

Valkyria Chronicles 5, where are you!? If the story is played out, then do some other setting with the same combat system!

Should be getting an announcement for a new Horizon game next year.

Getting late for a new NieR game. Wasteland 4 is past due, too.

I guess HL3 is out of the question?

You can do that if I can wonder where Myth 4 is. Or, to really go old school, where the next Alternate Reality game is.

I thought last year's Cocoon was from Playdead but apparently it was only from one of the developers.

I'm ready to see what's next from Cosmo D, Lucas Pope and Blendo Games!

@Lauren Morton I fell quite behind on the podcasts, so just been catching up on them all in the new year. Was late to hear about the podcast going on hiatus but hope both you and Mollie are able to enjoy the hiatus, and hopefully the pod will be back sometime soon stronger than ever 💪 I'll miss the chats in the meantime.

Thanks for always keeping up with us week to week! Clearly I did not stick the landing on having a thread for the final episode of the year 😅 Appreciate the kind words and you'll hear from us when we know what's next for PCG and podcasting.
