5) Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

White Wolf’s popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG series and its official clans are brought to life in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, an RPG that marries the core elements of a traditional RPG with the rich graphics, immediacy, and brutal combat of a first-person action game.

4) Hollow Knight: Silksong

Silksong is the epic sequel to Team Cherry’s award-winning 2017 action-adventure, Hollow Knight. The beautiful, hand-drawn, 2D world with a haunting, intimate background score by Christopher Larkin tells us of the majesty and sadness of a civilization brought to ruin.

The Metroidvania struck a chord with gamers of all ages and quickly became one of the most highly rated indies on Steam. Its success prompted the announcement of Silksong, and fans of Hollow Knight can’t wait to get their next fix in the imaginative and surreal world.

Initially announced for release in 2019, the game was delayed to 2022 due to the team’s small size. Seeing it in this Steam Summer Games Fest would bring a smile to many.

3) F1 22

The official video game of the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship by the masters of racing, Codemasters, is planned for release during the period of the Steam Summer Games Fest.

F1 21 was released to great reception last year during the same period and quickly became the premier online racing title for EA. Complete with a single-player storyline, community modding workshop, and extensive support for controllers, pedals, and wheels, the game offers a lot for motorsport enthusiasts.

Its popularity has paved the way for F1 22, with many new bells and whistles, such as being VR-supported. The fan-favorite two-player career campaigns and ‘My team’ modes (where users build entire crews from the ground up) are also being included.

2) Homeworld 3

The space RTS genre-redefining epic, Homeworld, is all set for a comeback with Homeworld 3.

The hugely popular franchise had already released a remaster for both initial titles back in 2015, and fans are waiting expectantly for the latest edition. Homeworld captured the imagination of gamers due to the incredible sense of scale, destruction, and wonder when it was released in 1999.

With modern technology, the timeless art style is reinvented. The visuals of strike crafts flying in formation between colossal battlecruisers against a backdrop of stars and nebulae are jaw-dropping.

Online battles were always a delight and still feature a co-op-enabled multiplayer mode that fuses the classic RTS style with a rogue-like structure. Christmas would come early for many if Homeworld 3 is announced for this Steam Summer Games Fest.

1) A Plague Tale: Requiem

From the developers who gave Microsoft’s Flight Simulator, Requiem is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Plague Tale: Innocence.

Innocence has players experience a heartbreaking journey through history’s darkest times with young Amicia and her little brother Hugo as they strive to survive a plague-ridden, deserted countryside. Being hunted by the Inquisition for unknown reasons, the siblings must take the help of fire to keep the swarms of rats at bay as they help other stranded children along their journey.

The mixture of horror, danger, and hopelessness is an excellent combination for mature gamers and tells an emotional tale of attachment and love against despair. Requiem has large boots to fill and is awaited by many.

Seeing it in this Steam Summer Games Fest would send users swarming to it!
