00:00This world is full of wonders. Yet everywhere we go, we walk with death.

00:05Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're looking ahead towards exciting games that lie between

00:10indie and triple-a. These are our most anticipated double-a games of 2025.

00:18Suspect is now on foot. We need to end this now. He's running.

00:23But before we dive in, we publish new content all week long.

00:27So be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

00:32Kingmakers

00:42Sent back to Great Britain circa 1400 to stop a future apocalypse,

00:47Kingmakers has you side with England, Scotland, or Wales during a time of war.

00:53You also bring a variety of modern weapons and vehicles with you to help in each fight.

00:59Developed by Redemption Road Games and published by TinyBuild,

01:03the sandbox game will blend real-time strategy elements with third-person action.

01:08You'll be able to command troops and build defenses, but also barrel through enemy forces

01:13in a car and unleash all kinds of mayhem with shotguns, tasers, grenade launchers,

01:20even airstrikes from fighter jets. It looks like utter absurd fun.

01:26Kingmakers releases in early access in Q1 2025 and will hopefully bring the best of both worlds.

01:38The Altars

01:40When I took this job, I thought things would take a different turn.

01:45Stranded on a strange planet whose sunrise can kill you due to lethal radiation,

01:50this sci-fi survival game from 11-bit studios will task you with exploring,

01:55managing resources, and building a base that will eventually help you escape.

02:00While that sounds like a lot of games, The Altars has a unique element working in its favor.

02:05Your character will have help maintaining the base from several copies of himself.

02:10However, they really are alternate versions, created based on key decisions in his life

02:15that went differently, therefore having different personalities and skill sets.

02:20So players will have to choose which altar is right for which job,

02:24adding another layer to the gameplay hook.

02:27It's another one launching in Q1 2025, so survival fans will want to keep an eye out.

02:35Rematch

02:43If you, like many, have grown bored of traditional sports games,

02:47in this specific case FIFA, the upcoming rematch should definitely pique your interest.

02:53It looks to be a blend of football with the arcade-y style of Rocket League.

02:57It will place players in 5v5 matches, with less of the actual rules or recognizable teams,

03:04and more of a focus on the pure action of the game.

03:07It's being developed by Slow Clap, the same studio praised for its fluid movement mechanics,

03:12in the martial arts-centric Sifu.

03:15If the team can bring the same satisfaction we got from pummeling opponents into a competitive

03:20online sports title, we'll have another multiplayer game to soak up hours of our time come summer 2025.

03:27Eric Sholm The Stolen Dream

03:40With her brother being hunted by the city's police forces, Eric Sholm The Stolen Dream

03:45follows Hannah as she desperately searches for him.

03:48But, along the way, she'll uncover deeper, darker secrets at play.

03:52Published by Nord Current, it's the first release from developer River End Games,

03:57which consists of several industry veterans who worked on EA franchises

04:01like Battlefield and Mirror's Edge.

04:04The focus on stealth looks to make a puzzle out of each environment, accompanied by impressive

04:09production design and visuals that make up the 1900s, Nordic-inspired setting.

04:14The narrative teases already have us interested in the mystery, but we'll have to wait to learn

04:19more since only a Blanket 2025 release window has been given.

04:27Spine

04:39Another game focusing on a sister looking for her missing brother, and with a vague

04:432025 release window, Spine is otherwise entirely unlike Eric Sholm.

04:49Developed and self-published by Neki, it follows a street artist fighting against

04:53an AI regime in a cyberpunk setting.

04:56While dealing with run-ins with various gangs that have overrun the city.

05:00And she's able to do so through a sentient combat implant, the aforementioned Spine.

05:06The gun-fu gameplay looks quick, sleek, and brutal, in part thanks to the team's inspirations,

05:12the John Wick series, and the films of director John Woo.

05:16Additionally, early previews compared its combat to Sifu and the Batman Arkham series.

05:21That's a lot of name drops, and they each have us excited.

05:26The Precinct

05:35Set in the New York-inspired Averno City in 1983, The Precinct puts you in the role of

05:41a rookie cop attempting to clean up his home.

05:44Developer Fallen Tree Games proudly wears its early GTA inspirations on its sleeve,

05:49but the game sounds like it has a lot more going for it.

05:52Players will be confronted by procedurally-generated crimes while delving into the city's darker

05:58corners.

05:59And they will have a multitude of ways to respond to any given event, as well as what

06:04resources to use.

06:05Meaning, your playthrough can go in entirely different directions depending on what you

06:10decide.

06:11That level of choice, coupled with the gritty neo-noir narrative, has us interested to

06:16investigate further when The Precinct releases sometime this year.

06:23Mandragora

06:28Technically, Primal Games Studio is an independent developer, but with funding from publisher

06:34Knights Peak, known for Pathfinder Kingmaker, and a grant from Epic Games, the studio's

06:39upcoming Metroidvania sits nicely in the AA space.

06:43While that genre has grown incredibly popular, Mandragora looks like one worth seeking out.

06:48The dark fantasy setting has bred some incredible visuals, especially in world and creature

06:54design.

06:54It's also infused with some Souls-like DNA to provide a nice challenge, will feature

07:00a branching narrative based on your decisions, and comes with several unique classes to master.

07:06We can't wait to unearth what fantastical horrors lie in wait, and it's the only

07:11game on our list with a definitive release date, April 17th, 2025.

07:19Showa American Story

07:32When it comes to zombie games, developers have to get increasingly more creative to

07:37stand out amongst the horde.

07:39Thankfully, it looks like NECCOM Entertainment is doing just that with Showa American Story.

07:45It's set in an alternate version of the 1980s, in which Japan became a strong economic

07:50and cultural influence over the United States.

07:53We'll play as a young stuntwoman who was murdered, only to be revived under unknown

07:58conditions to find a zombie apocalypse has broken out.

08:02There looks to be a nice variety in enemy types and ways to dispose of them as we trek

08:07across the continent in search of our sister.

08:09What's with all these missing siblings anyway?

08:12Those who grew up in the 80s will likely appreciate the nostalgia, though the ridiculous

08:16violence and mystery at its core should also make for a fun action RPG.

08:29Subnautica 2

08:35The original Subnautica and its follow-up Below Zero are great survival games.

08:40Unless you happen to have a fear of open water or gigantic sea creatures trying to

08:45swallow you up.

08:46The new entry, set to release in Early Access in 2025, looks to expand on everything the

08:51other games did.

08:52One way it will do this is by introducing co-op multiplayer for the first time, with

08:57the option of up to four players.

09:00Another way is through a mechanic that was cut from the original game, which will let

09:04you alter your DNA for new abilities.

09:06We can expect even more in-depth underwater biomes to explore, though what dangers the

09:12developers have planned for us when we get there has us giddy with anticipation.

09:24Claire Obscure Expedition 33

09:28And everyone of that age vanishes into nothingness.

09:32With jaw-dropping visuals, what looks to be a dense turn-based combat system, and a

09:38stacked cast that includes Charlie Cox, Ben Starr, Jennifer English, and Andy Serkis,

09:44you'd be forgiven for thinking that Claire Obscure Expedition 33 is a AAA game.

09:50But it was actually only made by around 30 people.

09:53Set in a dark fantasy world, it will follow a group going up against a powerful sorceress

09:58who, upon writing a number in the sky, magically kills everyone of that age.

10:04Developer Sandfall Interactive set out to create a high-quality turn-based RPG, citing

10:10neglectfulness from AAA studios and inspirations from Japanese releases like Final Fantasy

10:16and Persona.

10:17Everything we've seen has us craving more.

10:21It looks remarkable, the premise is enticing, and the reactive elements like dodging and

10:26parrying brings a level of excitement to combat.

10:29Whenever it releases this year, we'll be sure to check it out.

10:41What AA game are you looking forward to the most in 2025?
