Thank you so much for featuring Under a Rock! Hugs from the Nordic Trolls! We're working hard to bring Under a Rock to everyone as soon as we can.

[@LuckyGhost]

When you're ready for hands on, send me a key, and I'd be happy to cover it more! You can reach out any time on Twitter or my email. Good luck, it's looking great!

[@oneill6291]

I've been looking forward to it for a long time now. Can't wait to see what you guys have done!

[@vane.jaeger]

Since i first saw it i felt in love with it. Looks sooo beautiful and fun. It's one of the games i looking forward the most ❤

[@MBHacres]

That is the game I have been waiting on!

[@savysenpai491]

Looks great!

[@gowankommando]

I love that we are getting better versions of "Standed Deep" and "The Long Dark"

[@hrdhatlnchpail]

ARK 2 will probably never come out

[@bputty9322]

Yeah if vin diesel is it, then it’ll never come out

[@Joreel]

Project Castaways look like every other lost at sea survival game we've seen since 2015.

[@falseshepherd-490]

Then you haven’t played the old ones, or haven’t seen project castaway.

[@Joreel]

@falseshepherd-490 nope haven't played it, just an initial impression based off of gameplay videos and trailers. I've played older ones, I was just staying within the last 10 years.

[@Wyatt_Jones]

It doesn’t

[@MatthewP-Gr]

@@falseshepherd-490 I bought it, i played it and i abandoned it! The worst experience i had the last years. That game is full with bugs. It's almost unplayable (story line). If you know where to go you can "beat" the game after some hours of gameplay. There are dozens of games you can buy with less money and play hunderds of hours.

[@UnderARock_Game]

Thank you so much for including Under a Rock among so many great games! We really appreciate the support! 💙

[@pobnoonmunch2255]

Does look good

[@DenBlackburn]

I am looking forward to it, hope its as good as it looks, best of luck to you and the team ;)

[@denisejones1091]

I can’t wait for State of Decay 3, Under a Rock, and Atomfall! Although, now I am going to have to expand my wish list.

[@NickyByloo]

Some additions: Towers of Aghasba The Signal Across the Wonderlands Just Us Primitive Outbreak Island Primal Survival Wars

[@josiewoodrose7616]

Light No Fire is the game I am most looking forward to in the near future.

[@zxacxk]

Same, but they have not announced a 2025 release date as far as I'm aware, or that it will be pc only.

[@LuckyGhost]

Which one are you all most excited for?!

[@Vegathron]

Jurassic Park without a doubt! Hopefully its not too scary otherwise I'll have to force my partner to play for me XD

[@LuckyGhost]

@@Vegathron haha I like that plan!

[@thomasfryxelius5526]

under a rock!!

[@Jolarwar]

The next update from Enshrouded!

[@flopperstopper1]

Castaway looks like a mix of stranded deep and green hell

[@jeanvandercolff3802]

The demo was good, basically the same game just more fine tuned. A lot more options for crafting and building too.

[@golfRgod]

Project castaway looks cool, looks like the movie Castaway too. Always appreciate your game release vids! Thanks!

[@wizzle-]

Ooh, some of these I had not yet heard about. I am excited to see Light No Fire, Into The Dead and Atomfall. Maybe Terminator? Cheers Lucky.

[@kootermccoglin6915]

Post apocalyptic, post apocalyptic, post apocalyptic…These games look great but I’m starting to get tired of the post apocalyptic theme.

[@Snatesss]

Light no fire and State of Decay 3! YES PLEASE

[@ALLmasked]

i hope project cast away improves a lot compared to deep stranded. but i what i really want is to slay some rexes in jurassic park lol.

[@LuckyGhost]

couldn't agree more! both look really fun!

[@DESHPLEASE]

Under a Rock, Project Castaway, and Jurassic Park look awesome

[@HulkVahkiin]

All of these games look interesting af

[@DizConnected]

One of the 1st open world genre defining games Gothic is being remade with Unreal Engine 5 and I hope releases in 2025.

[@michaelcestero3168]

heads up, your videos at the end dont actually pop up on the screen. the rpg one did not and the 2 on the final screen were just blank.

[@LuckyGhost]

thanks for the heads up, sorted!

[@DenBlackburn]

Hello Games, ive never know a company work so hard and give so much after a bad start, a team that I would back to the end. Ive had light no fire on my wishlist from the day it was announced, even if the game has a rocky start, with Hello Games history, I wouldn't be bothered, lots of other companies have let us down, Hello Games are above and beyond. A few games there that caught my eye, Under a rock is high on my radar, I wish them a huge success, it looks like a cartoon ARK I could be wrong but I dont mind if it is, im looking forward to that and a few others there.

[@mickeyfrknmouse6673]

Like ive said before, TAKE MY MONEY!!! Game looks AMAZING!

[@bputty9322]

Sunkenland is a great game for anyone looking for an open world survival

[@rabeiabdallah6146]

not even close ark 2 to be in 2025 XD its a 2028 game

[@LuckyGhost]

Haha I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, those devs are infamous for running behind schedule. But hopefully they are close to their projected timeline this time!

[@dismaltimestamp5995]

@@LuckyGhost how long was ARK Survival Evolved in "early access" ?? Lets take that in to account also.

[@redemption9938]

@@LuckyGhostit’s going to be graphically obsolete by the time it rolls out😂 these devs spend so much time on graphics and take to long to release games that by the time they get them released we are 2-3 generations of gpus old and pc users with older cards can’t get the full experience. This is where console gamers try to claim superiority but have never played a game above 40fps lol. Great video btw!

[@hrdhatlnchpail]

Probably never even come out

[@littlemilli5218]

Are these all multiplayer games?

[@richardbellamy-l4y]

100% getting this game Atomfall

[@DESHPLEASE]

And Terminator Survivors looks like it'll be terrifying if it's done right!

[@LuckyGhost]

yeah absolutely!

[@LesSoeursMaurice]

the ark saga is a banger so im hyped to play ark 2

[@dadabok]

I think some of these will be also open world: Stalker 2 (loved Call of Pripyat) and Exodus. I watched yesterday the Exodus Mara Yama trailer with matthew mcconaughey and it was genuine horror, like Alien 1 (the movie).

[@RealJungle18856]

light no fire is gonna be a good 1

I’m drooling like a dog with a bone in his mouth for Light No Fire and Outward 2. I would also get Ark 2 but I don’t think that game is ever going to be released. 😢

[@braydendougherty]

Just the same game over and over anymore. We had stranded deep for like half a decade and project castaway is being praised.

[@dismaltimestamp5995]

Hey Lucky loved this video, 2025 has a full slate of survival games here's hoping it isn't too saturated. Atomfall - Love the Fallout series, so looking forward to another interpretation of the theme. Project Castaway - getting some Stranded deep vibes on this one Jurassic Park - Loved the original movie and loved Ark SE, so 'should' be pretty good definitely following this one. Polkyaris - Long dark vibes Outward 2 - loved the first one looking forward to this one too. Rooted - seems to be a good one to follow post apocalyptic is almost over done but with how this one is going with nature has started reclaiming the environment sounds good will be keeping an eye on development with this title. Terminator survivors - Robocop Rouge City was done well so here is hoping that same quality if not better gets put in to this title. T1/T2 are staples in sci-fi movie history, and hopefully that theme gets translated in to this game as well. Light no fire - Hyped for this one just with the track record and turn around on how No Mans Sky did. It's almost as great as a videogame recovery as FF14. Should be a fun play. State of Decay 3 - Been a fan of the series its more of a niche zombie survival series with a roller coaster of dev and playability but the devs have never lost sight of their true vision of the series. Dune Awakening - has my eye on it for being Dune. Hopefully the devs can get their story told proper in this title. it looks promising. Ark 2 - I was hyped for it when it was first announced what seems like years ago. It had promise but like you said, the dev is known for delaying. Also I wouldn't be surprised if this thing is way over budget too.

[@illuminatiolofsson5674]

You forget subnautica 2

Outward 2!!!

"Project castaway" looks like a copy of "Stranded Deep".😂

Unfortunately, the title "survival game" is often misused. For a game to be a survival game, it must have the need to eat and/or drink or you will die.

"Border between Norway and Russia" What?

open a map brother

[@MarketingGuy024]

Ark 2 this year!! lol right...

[@christianogaard2185]

Won't be playing Ark 2 as they never fixed all the bugs in Ark 1 The hit boxes are still broken and it is still glitchy as crap. I bought it in early access first week and reinstalled it a few week ago to see if they fixed it and NOPE IT'S A DUMPSTER FIRE OFF A GAME!

Is it bad that i still think conan exiles and 7 days to die looks bettet then all of theese games?

I just wanted a good PVP survival game, I don't know why they invest so much in PVE games, these pieces of crap don't even last 1 month while PVP games last decades, yet they insist on releasing crap.

[@jonhobbs5113]

Is death and destruction supposed to be entertaining?? I am revolted by how these companies prioritize mindless violence over creativity and meaningful storytelling. They relentlessly pump out games that glorify annihilation and chaos, stripping away any semblance of purpose or positive engagement. It’s abhorrent to see the gaming industry sink into this cesspool of brutality, ignoring the vast potential to inspire, educate, and uplift players. Such a nauseating obsession with destruction not only devalues the art of gaming but also perpetuates a toxic culture that glorifies aggression. This blatant disregard for meaningful content is utterly contemptible and a shameful stain on the industry!

[@Official_McStoven]

Plenty of games in today's market showcase creativity and storytelling. The games displayed in this compilation may not have done that, but that doesn't mean they're bad games, that's just not their desired gameplay loop. Not every game needs to be the same. Keep looking and I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy. I hope that helps!

[@jonhobbs5113]

@@Official_McStoven Next time, I’d love to see a compilation of games that truly empower creativity and inspire players to explore boundless possibilities. Think of games that encourage artistic expression, foster positive mental engagement, and allow players to create, innovate, and experiment freely. These could include titles where players are immersed in music creation, world-building, storytelling, and designing their own characters, quests, or narratives. Highlight games that celebrate artistry, whether through crafting, visual design, or composing soundscapes, and that offer tools for creativity without limits. A list like this could inspire gamers to see how limitless and empowering gaming can really be! Thanks in advance!
