Game of the Year Awards 2024 - Most Promising RPG

Here are the games our members and editors look forward to most in 2025:

Gamers' Choice and Editors' Second Place: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

The medieval RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a very popular title among Watchers, so it's no surprise the we all want a sequel. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has a very good chance to become the GotY 2025 here.

 

Gamers' 1. Runner Up and Editors' First Place: Gothic 1 Remake

RPGDot was and RPGWatch is still a homebase for Piranha Bytes fans, so it is no surprise that like last year the editors and members are eagerly waiting for the Gothic Remake.

 

Gamers' 2. Runner Up  and Editors' Third Place: Avowed

Like last year many Watchers are still waiting for the action RPG Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment.
