What announcements and reveals do you hope to see in 2022?

Originality in the most part is over-rated as most people prefer the old and familiar instead of the new.

As for announcements, I want to hear any news regarding Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I thought we are supposed to have such news last year, so that means sometime this new year.

A new Deus Ex (or remake, not remaster)

A new Thief (or remake, not remaster)

A new IP from Respawn

More Star Wars game announcements. Ever since EA has had the license mMost are crap but once in a while we get a good one, so I figure it's just an odds thing so the mroe games we get the more likely we get a good one. Plus EA isn't exclusively holding the license anymore right?

I'd like to see an Alpha Centauri 2 from the Civ team. We don't need any more historical TBS/4X games for the foreseeable future, imo.

XCOM 3 would be awesome as hell, I am hopeful for Midnight Suns but comic book games don't do much for me.

We also have Xenonauts 2 to look forward to, sequel to the amazing but criminally-overlooked Xenonauts 1.

Would love to see a Titanfall 3 announcement. TF2 was most excellent.

They tried that with Civilization: Beyond Earth. I think EA might own the IP, hence why they couldn't make a full Alpha Centauri 2. Considering how they went with that, I'm not sure I want to see them try again either.

I did have my fun with Beyond Earth, despite its flaws. The main problem was that Beyond Earth seemed to have been an attempt to create a role-playing system within a Civ game. As a result, for example, while Alpha Centauri had distinct characters with well-developed ideologies and motivations, Beyond Earth had avatars that you could role-play into characters you want, which necessitated them being bland cardboard cut-outs. This contributed to the general blandness of the game.

I hope Xenonauts 2 turns out well. Hopefully they can do a better job than Phoenix Point, which was a bit of a disappointment.

@madrocketeer: yeah Beyond Earth was OK but not their best attempt. The DLC made it better.

Valid criticism; the role-playing systems within some TBS/4X games can be fun (I think Age of Wonders: Planetfall did this well) but sometimes it takes away from what attracts me to the genre. It's not about a single leader, but the whole civ/empire you build up, working together like a well-oiled machine.

Other than completely new stuff, I'd like to see:

Pikmin 4 (with 4 player MP)
Paper Mario TTYD sequel
F-Zero GX sequel
A proper Thief
New Quake
Valve stuff

I want to see a new Culdcept game on the Switch. Also a new Etrian Odyssey, and maybe a new Layton game.

Basically, I want a whole bunch of sequels to great 3DS games.
