2025 looks set to be an extraordinary year for the world of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs). On the main international communities like Reddit, there is a sense of enthusiasm and excitement: fans discuss, list and analyze the RPGs coming out in the next months. We have scoured these discussion threads to understand which games, according to the voice of the community, are the most anticipated. Here is our detailed overview.
By analyzing many comments, some titles clearly dominate the conversation. Some are reboots, others are brand new, and others still are the natural evolution of already beloved game lines.
Mythic Bastionland
The new project by Chris McDowall, already known for Into the Odd, is one of the most frequently mentioned. It promises a “weird” medieval setting and innovative mechanics for those who love the Old School Renaissance.
Legend in the Mist
There’s a lot of talk about this title for its narrative energy and the promise of immersive sessions. Enthusiasts are intrigued by its approach to mechanics and are eagerly awaiting official news.
Grimwild
A dark fantasy adventure with the FitD (Forged in the Dark) system, Grimwild is positioned as a valid alternative to D&D 5e for those looking for more challenge and a grittier ruleset.
Cosmere RPG
The RPG that officially brings Brandon Sanderson’s novels to the table. For many, this title is already a “must have,” both for the richness of the setting and for the innovation promised by its game system.
Daggerheart
With a close connection to Critical Role and massive media attention, Daggerheart blends participatory storytelling and fantasy tradition, cementing its place among games ideal for long, engaging campaigns.
Starfinder 2e
The new sci-fi edition from Paizo is among the most highly anticipated releases, especially among Pathfinder fans looking forward to compatibility and optimized new rules.
Draw Steel
An indie game already attracting attention for its setting and design, perfect for those seeking something different and strategic.
Dolmenwood
The return of dark English folklore: finally, an official print edition of one of the most beloved OSR settings.
Other popular titles
Beyond the top anticipated games, many others are generating buzz and speculation:
Heart new edition, Coriolis: The Great Dark for “space opera” fans, Pendragon 6e for lovers of Arthurian tales, Ashes Without Number (sci-fi/OSR shades), The Broken Empires, Perilous Voids, Fabula Ultima (new modules), Household Vol. II, Monty Python RPG – just to name a few!
Why does the community await these games in particular?
Reading through the threads, a clear trend emerges: a desire for novelty, flexible systems, blends of storytelling and oldschool, and original or lorerich settings. Experimentation, rule variety, and updates to renowned lines like Starfinder and Heart are appreciated.
Forums also show interest in mechanics compatible with major classics (like Pathfinder) and a strong pursuit of immersive experiences for both one-shots and long campaigns.
The near future of role-playing games looks vivid and diversified: among indie titles, big licenses, and cult returns, the international scene is constantly evolving. We are truly living in a “golden age,” with record-breaking Kickstarters, public playtests, and communities increasingly influential in game development.
I built this overview by analyzing real threads and discussions from international platforms, Reddit above all. 2025 will be a testing ground for new systems, new settings, and above all, for the creativity of the communities. What are you most looking forward to? Write it in the comments!
