Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is set to dominate 2025, but it might not have the year all to itself.
While Rockstar’s game has generated massive hype, there’s a surprise contender that could challenge its throne: Crimson Desert.
GTA 6: The Giant of 2025
GTA 6 has been building anticipation for over a decade. Its first trailer has already racked up over 227 million views, and its release is expected to be one of the biggest events in gaming history.
With GTA 5 still a massive success, Rockstar is poised to take over the gaming world once again.
Crimson Desert: A Surprise Threat
However, Crimson Desert, a fantasy RPG, is looking to steal the spotlight. Combining elements from The Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, and Dark Souls, it offers a unique mix of exploration, combat, and fantasy.
This could appeal to a wider audience than GTA 6, which focuses on modern-day crime and action.
The Battle for 2025
While GTA 6 will likely remain the top seller, Crimson Desert is a strong competitor. With its fresh take on open-world gameplay and a fantasy setting, it could be the game that surprises everyone in 2025.
