On the Radar
Upcoming coverage
This isn't a release calendar — it's the shortlist of upcoming games we actually plan to review, retrospect, or write about. Priorities shift as the year moves; this page moves with them.
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Confirmed full review on launch. A retrospective on the first Hollow Knight is already in draft to run alongside it.
Franchise hub →Grand Theft Auto VI
Rockstar's first mainline GTA in over a decade. Planned review + a broader feature on what GTA has become as a cultural artefact.
Franchise hub →Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Expected review alongside a retrospective on MGS3 and a franchise-hub update covering the remake's place in the series.
Franchise hub →Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Review planned. Legends: Arceus was the most interesting Pokémon game in years — whether Z-A holds that line is the question.
Franchise hub →The Witcher 4
Too early for firm coverage plans, but a retrospective of the Witcher trilogy is in draft for whenever the first real reveal lands.
Franchise hub →Monster Hunter Wilds — major updates
Already-covered game, but meaningful title updates (new monsters, endgame shifts) trigger short follow-up pieces rather than new reviews.
Franchise hub →Final Fantasy IX Remake
Coverage is in the news section until it's confirmed. If and when it's real, expect the full review + retrospective treatment.
Franchise hub →Assassin's Creed Shadows — post-launch
Launch review already on the radar, plus a broader franchise retrospective on where Ubisoft has taken the series.

Where coverage gets announced
When a title goes from “on the radar” to “actively being worked on,” it shows up first on YouTube, then here as a full piece.
