Portal, please
Honestly every valve IP
Maybe not tf3 though, perhaps instead if it was a complete rewrite of tf2 and engine port that fixed all the jank
I wanted to see KOTOR 3 for years, but after seeing the writing in TOR and knowing Disney has bought the IP, I don't expect it, and I wouldn't be super excited if they actually make it.

Elder scrolls. It's been how long since the announcement of a coastline?
If it's not out within the next 4 years, it will officially be the case that more time has passed between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 than Elder Scrolls 1 through 5.
17 years between Arena and Skyrim compared to 13 years so far since Skyrim's release in 2011 (and counting, almost up to 14 years if counting from calendar year alone).
When Skyrim came out, Bethesda promised free new Bethesda games for life to parents of kids born on 11/11/11 who named their child Dovahkiin. Young Dovahkiin is almost in high school now, and of the promised free games, their parents have earned a whopping:
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Starfield
Hope it was worth it.
Same goes to Witcher 1 -> 3 to 3 -> 4 and almost Gta 1 -> 5 to 5 -> 6, and many more franchises. Why is it happening?
Demon Souls - DS3 to DS3 - Elden Ring wasn't too far off either.
AAA game development has gotten significantly more costly and time consuming, to the point where it is now basically unsustainable and headed for imminent collapse.
For the Dark Souls example, though, I think it's important to note that FromSoft still produced Sekiro in between Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring, leaving only a 3-year gap for Elden Ring to come out. Not to mention that the time between Demon Souls to Elden Ring is still less than the time gap between Skyrim and Elder Scrolls 6, so it's also orders of magnitude of difference.
And we got Armored Core soon after ER. FromSoft still puts out games reasonably often, while still being high quality. Some people may not like every game, but I don't think anyone can say they're putting out garbage like some other studios.

If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It's fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2's own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.
What I'm looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There's some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.
I'm also interested in Project Borealis, but that's untested for the moment.
No One Lives Forever
But as the games are in rights hell this will never happen.
A proper new Thief would also be nice. By someone who actually wants to make it maybe this time.

Titanfall 3. Iβm doubtful itβll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come itβll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots Iβd still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2βs campaign is in need of a follow-up.
In the same vein Iβd love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. Iβm not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that gameβs story would resonate well with most people nowadays.
Deus Ex
Hollow Knight
I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I'm still pumped for when they're ready to release it.
Before the release of DA veilguard, my answer would be Mass Effect 4. Now I'm not so sure.
Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I'd like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.
MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.
Lemmings
Ooh I have another one! Steamland, the game of my childhood. RTS with trains. Would be very cool if it had a sequel.
Deus Ex. There was supposed to be a third and then Eidos sold out to make the Avengers game that flopped.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
Black & White (with VR support).
Shattered Galaxy.
Crystalis.
Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
I'm not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves... Even the story was good and entertaining.
Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have "fun". I miss freelancer's simplicity and space fights...

I would love a new Mother game to be honest...
or another Super Lucky's Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.

I've been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn't mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.

I guess death stranding
At least that one is confirmed
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I'd rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.
The PokΓ©mon main line games. I really hope to see they'll improve and maybe even reach a somewhat okay level of quality. But let's be honest, they'll probably fuck up big time with the next generation as well
The things I care about have been getting stripped away every game, and they're selling more copies than ever. I suspect the next mainline game will be the first time since the Gold/Silver remakes that I actively choose to not buy a mainline Pokemon game.
Legends, on the other hand...

Days Gone 2 (not gonna happen though).
My favorite game, I wish so as well! But yeah, not gonna happen, Bend studios is dismantled and it's members moved on
Jak & Daxter. I'd even take a reboot. Precursor Legacy is damn near perfect but 2 and 3 could benefit from QoL improvements for sure
Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.
C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.
Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.
Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

Bloody Roar. The rights are held by Konami, so there's practically no chance of it happening.
Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i'm not hyped at all.
X-Com 3, but i'm extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.
I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.
Weβre about due for another game from my favorite series : Tomb Raider
Bushido Blade.
All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.
Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.
I've been saying this for YEARS.
I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn't quite get there for me. It's been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they've added more polish since then...
