Over the past two weeks, we’ve looked back at io9 movies, showsand 2024 games and given to our individual pickups certain tendencies that took place this year. Now it’s time to think about what we can expect next, or more precisely, in 2025. Feel free to let us know what you’re up to. you Get excited (and hopeful) in the comments below.
Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX
upon completion Witch from Mercury in 2023, Gundam set yourself a high bar for the next show – and to see another come this close isn’t just a surprise, it has the potential to set high bars through the atmosphere and into the stars themselves. GQuuuuX‘s wildly assembled creative talent – from Khara Hideaki AnnoYoji Enokido, Kazuya Tsurumaki and Ikuto Yamashita on the writing, direction and mechanical design respectively? PokemonDo you accept character design? A story that plays with a very basic conflict, if leaks are to be believed Gundam himself? We’re looking forward to something that has the potential to be one of the franchise’s best efforts, let alone one of the best series of 2025. – James Whitbrook
M3GAN 2.0
If Superman’s if it’s a very useful option, consider another candidate for summer hero: a child-sized AI robot killer dance moves, killer fashion sense, killer instinctsand (probably) a murderous revenge drive in its sequel. M3GAN 2.0 is again directed by Gerald Johnstone and written by Akeela Cooper, and brings back Gemma (Allison Williams) and Cady (Violet McGraw), plus there will be a whole new cast of characters. We have every reason to believe that our best friend’s return will be as confusing, gory and scream-inducing as ever – and we’re counting down the days until June 27, 2025. – Cheryl Eddy
Bad: For good
The first It’s bad the movie blew the audience away, you prove that the movie is a musical by coming right out and saying it’s a musical. The continuationThere are rumors that the play will expand the second act and include more new ones original music and the events of L. Frank Baum The Wizard of Oz. We’re interested to see how Dorothy’s journey will tie in with Elphaba and Glinda. Also, we have room for more memories. – Sabina Graves
Avatar: Fire and Ashes
I think we can stop joking after two movies Avatar. The first movie was good the second movie was a lot ok, now we wait the third partis sure to be one of this year’s biggest hits. Moreover, in addition to exploring more The world of Pandorait’s always exciting just to see a new James Cameron movie. Especially with each of these sequences, it continues to push the technology bandwagon with dynamic, character-driven storytelling. – Germaine Lussier
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
The as a Dragon The franchise went from a crazy, niche series of open-world games to a household name thanks to its prequel title, Yakuza 0, and subsequent entries with an English soundtrack. while Yakuza purists turn up their noses at the concept, accessibility is essential and the language barrier is no different. That’s why the developer releases Ryu Ga Gotoku for three years Yakuza to announce a fourth game headed by the fan-favorite character (and) at the end of 2025 Yakuza 0 Goro Majima – a truly Kendrick Lamar-like sequence of events. Plus, the studio, which often uses tons of its highly detailed assets to create games (we love an honest developer), is righting the wrong Ubisoft’s long-delayed live-service pirate game hack. Skull and bones by making the pirate game he promised Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. We trust RGG. – Isaiah Colbert
Predator: Badlands
Predator It was a treat in 2022, and it was clear even before it was over Predator the franchise was aiming for a comeback. About details Predator: Badlands has been scarce, it should be noted for this alien star And Elle Fanning does double duty as the twin sisters. We’ll find out eventually Badlands under its hood and can’t wait to see what it brings to theaters on November 7, 2025. And it’s not even the only one. Predator whisk next year hits! – Justin Carter
Andor Season 2
Star Wars It’s had a bit of a rough time with itself lately, as the series struggles to chart a clear path forward by seeing what it actually wants. Star Wars to be But to demonstrate clarity of purpose, one of the rare moments of that anxiety has finally returned after a delayed wait: Cassian will eventually find us all. Andor’s second, final season On April 22. Once expectations are met incredible first seasonand every little tidbit we’ve ever teased makes us hope for something else Andor high can sustain us long enough to actually reach out to Lucasfilm and bring the movie back to theaters. – James Whitbrook
Sinduality: An Island Echo
Like an ordinary mourner Titanfall As a video game franchise, any notion of a new sci-fi mecha game that has the potential to be a spiritual successor while being anime-AF is catnip to gamers worldwide, and Bandai Namco’s Sydnduality: Island Echo he could fill those shoes. Its characters look cute, its mechs are even nicer, and its battle clips make every mecha fan itch to weave their giant robot through a flurry of oncoming missiles with the help of their clunky UI prompts. Let’s hope it lives up to the hype. – Isaiah Colbert
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
As we have seen Mario, Zelda, and more, Nintendo takes extra care with its OG titles. That is why the construction of the main line will take about twenty years Metroid a game that was announced almost a decade ago. And yes, Metroid Dread it was great. But Head 4 promises to be bigger and more ambitious. A true return to the Samus Aran world that players have been waiting for, in some cases their entire lives. – Germaine Lussier
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
The Xenoblade series has become one of my all-time favorite JRPG franchises, but one of its best entries was shut down on the Wii U for the better part of a decade. This varies by release Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition On Switch, that means more people can finally experience this fascinating refraction Xenoblade Jokes that the sci-fi series is usually excited about, Nintendo leans more into the past genre to deliver one of the best open-world RPGs ever. A game mechanic that really keeps you going away from the giant robots on the cover for the opening half of the game, X complements its relatively light narrative beats with a truly remarkable world to explore, rewarding players willing to explore with an incredibly rich environment. I’m looking forward to finally having every entry in one of my favorite series playable together. – James Whitbrook
Witch hat workshop
There has been a huge boom in fantasy anime with shows like last year Ice Cream: After Journey’s End and Delicious in the dungeon. To complete the trifecta of what is known as the Fantastic Three is the upcoming anime adaptation of Bug Film. Witch hat workshop. However Freeze it and Delicious in the dungeon flourished accordingly with character work and world-building, Witch hat workshop excels at both with its inventive magic system. Moreover, the series is full of themes similar to the notable themes of 2024 Look backdescribes the trials and tribulations of learning a new skill. Rather than rooting for everything Harry Potter Reward yourself by doing the slop Warner Bros. advertising is nauseating Witch hat workshop Anime to watch in 2025. – Isaiah Colbert

Jordan Twins playing against something supernatural in their hometown is too good to pass up and for once more interesting. the first trailer hit Add the inevitable incredible score by Ludwig Göransson and hell yes, sign us up Sinners. – Justin Carter
