Typically, December is a slow month for new game releases, as companies concentrate on selling games that are already out. But this year is different! A huge number of games are launching on all major consoles and PCs. The lineup includes both big-name sequels everyone’s been waiting for and smaller, creative indie games, meaning there’s something for every type of player to enjoy during the holiday season.

‘Marvel Cosmic Invasion’ (2025)

On December 1st, Tribute Games and Dotemu will release a new arcade-style fighting game for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

‘Kingdom of Night’ (2025)

Black Square created a retro-style action RPG set in the 1980s, launching on December 2nd.

‘She’s Leaving’ (2025)

Blue Hat Studio’s new game, launching December 2nd on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, puts you in the shoes of Charles Dalton, a detective revisiting a chilling cold case. But be warned – you’re also being hunted! The game emphasizes solving puzzles and carefully analyzing crime scenes – like blood spatter – instead of action-packed fighting. It’s designed to be a truly suspenseful experience, building tension through a creepy atmosphere and a story about a dangerous obsession.

‘Let It Die: Inferno’ (2025)

Supertrick Games is back with the sequel to their popular survival action game, launching December 3rd.

The story follows Beat, a young girl navigating a colorful but restrictive city.

‘Drywall Eating Simulator’ (2025)

Okay, so I just heard about this new PC game coming out on December 10th from Peripheral Playbox, and it sounds wild. You play as this super stressed-out office worker, but the way they deal with it is… eating drywall. Seriously! It’s a physics-based game, so you have to sneak around and secretly munch on walls without anyone noticing. Apparently, it’s all meant to be a funny take on how boring and frustrating modern work life can be. Sounds like a weird, but potentially hilarious, way to blow off some steam!

‘Mutant Football League 2’ (2025)

Digital Dreams Entertainment is releasing the latest installment in their arcade sports series on December 10th. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering even more intense football action.

This sequel builds on the first game with upgraded graphics and fresh gameplay modes, making for an even more chaotic and enjoyable experience.

‘Dadish 4’ (2025)

On December 18th, Thomas K. Young is releasing the latest game in his popular platforming series. It’s available on Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices (iOS and Android).
