Really enjoyed the first Greedfall so looking forward to that one as well.

I recently replayed Outer Worlds and I am now much less hyped for Avowed.
Outer Worlds exploration was pointless and almost non-existent. The loot/item economy was filled with worthless junk and upgrades that did nothing to change or enhance the boring combat. And the quest design was always “choose good option A, bad option B, or secret middle option C.” Every. Single. Time.
If Avowed is just “fantasy Outer Worlds” then it’s a hard pass from me.

I somewhat expect Kingdom Come II to make this year, so that, followed by Gothic Remake and Avowed. Bloodlines is one of the best games ever made, but I have very little faith in the studio making it. I will still play it probably, unless it is total shitshow.
Thaumaturge looks very interesting. Banishers could be pretty good, as was Vampyr. Greedfall 2....Spiders need to learn some lessons from the first game to make a really good sequel and I have doubts they learned them.

Stalker 2 has to count because that list is not very good. I'm rooting for Avowed though.

Gothic Remake is the one I'm most hopeful for, but not confident about.
I'm also SOMEWHAT hopeful about Bloodlines 2 but the confidence about that is down the drain.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is relatively a safe bet, even if you could argue that classifying it as a "WRPG" is a bit spotty at best.
I'm expecting Avowed to be more or less on par with The Outer Worlds, which I was DEFINITELY not a fan of.
Past that, there's a bunch of minor, less known projects in development I'm interested in (like MENACE, from the developers of Battle Brothers) but they still have everything to prove.
EDIT: If we are going to count it as part of the genre (questionable, but ok) I wish I could say that I'm very confident S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 but in truth I'm not, given their incredibly spotty development history even BEFORE the team found itself in the middle of a war.

Hard to tell with outerworlds, literally a double A game thats incredibly dull and has shit quests, but i dont think the guy that made outerworlds has anything to do with avowed so there is hope

Well. Even Guerrilla is calling Horizon series an RPG, but I think we can have huge debate if if is an RPG.Devs themselves call it action RPG so agree to disagree.

Right, that's why I said agree to disagree on this one because I'm not trying to convince your one way or another. Just provided additional context on why I've added it to the poll since it's marketed as an action RPG.
