We all live for new game reveals, trailers, and surprise announcements.

We love whenNintendoshows us the future of their latest platform in a 45-minute stream.

Give us all those inside looks at the most highly-anticipated games of the year.

Half-Life

We are constantly hungry and need to be fed.

Which is why we also love the leaks and rumors that fill in the gaps between major game news.

But if you think weve learned our lesson, guess again!

Below, are the hottest gaming rumors you better know for this year.

And of course, remember to approach all this scuttlebutt with a grain of salt.

The question is, what will these new Mario and Zelda games look like?

Or is it finally time for thatWind Wakerremaster Nintendo fans have been clamoring for since the Switch first launched?

(That surprise game was actuallyNinja Gaiden 4.)

While that one didnt turn out to be true, others persist.

Another report alleges that the remake will be out this June.

Years of rumors and supposed leaks have left even the most optimistic of us exhausted.

But this mightfinallybe the year Valve announces a proper, non-VR sequel for its most famous game series.

See you in the new year.

Well, perhaps thats now!

Wait, one more bit of speculation before we move on.

Fast-forward a few years and Valve is all about its Steam Deck handheld and the SteamOS that powers it.

Whats a great way to get more companies and gamers into SteamOS?

Any further and its hard to make the call.

Rockstar is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish.

this month thatGTA VIwould get pushed to next year.

I expect that it will slip to 2026.

Capcom has alsoconfirmedthat it is indeed working on the nextResident Evilbut stopped short of saying it wasResident Evil 9.

But I found it, and to be honest it feels substantial.

I cant share any details just yet, but I hope youre excited for the day I can.

Take that with a grain of salt for now, though.

We know to expect it, whether weve had our fill of the current installment or not.

According to Henderson,Call of Duty2025 is a sequel to the futuristic section of 2012sBlack Ops 2.

The new sequel will allegedly be set in 2030 and feature remastered multiplayer maps fromBlack Ops 2.

Which is why, until very recently, the idea ofHalogames on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms seemed so unbelievable.

What a time to be alive.
