First up, Hollow Knight: Silksong — this one been late longer than taxi driver promise come but always on wai (wait). Finally, Team Cherry confirm drop date is September 4, 2025. You want demo? Can try at Nintendo and Xbox booth at Gamescom. No more talk cock kosong about delay. This game move smooth like those crazy rooftop parkour guys in Kowloon. Fast, tight, damn zai!

Next big teeth here - Call of Duty Black Ops 7. Wah lau, this time not like usual shoot-shoot run run only. They add co-op campaign, can four players gang up and kill enemies together. You and your fellow flatmates no need each man cry alone. Story not only gun shoot, got deep brain stuff: identity, memories, consequence—full emo. Protagonist David Mason come back but he not perfect, got scars deep deep like people after wet market dispute. Release on November 14, mark your calendar, else I punch your buk6 gaai1 (ass)! Also got new PvE mode for you all to test if you really zai or just full talk.

For those who like blood and kicking ass, Lords of the Fallen 2 coming. Promising faster, more brutal combat, more boss battle. Sure make you throw controller in anger.

Then Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight returning. Not just kids toy lah, this one is open world Gotham. You can swing, glide and drive Batmobile all day long. Fight villains with your small gadgets, got hard mode for those think they best but still kena smack. Got Catwoman, Robin join also, easy win or easy lose, up to you.

RTS fans laugh ah? Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 4 dropping soon, four factions duke it out on crazy planet Kronos. Missions more than those people complain about work. Prepare your brain, do strategy, or get mashed like banana.

Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy XIV do strange dance with crossover event. More boss fight, more loot, more reason to ignore your girlfriend and say “busy playing”.

Don’t forget TV people, Fallout Season 2 dropping December 17 on Prime Video. Deathclaws and family drama all in one package, better than any HKTVB soap you watch.

More lah, got Onimusha sword fight, Resident Evil Requiem, World of Warcraft cinematic, and many indie games showing off like street vendors shouting for your attention.
