Buying an actual new release is very rare for me.

Unless I have forgotten about any imminently upcoming games, my next
day one purchase will be Borderlands 4. I am genuinely looking forward
to that one.

Doom: The Dark Ages is on Gamepass, but I have very little appetite
for it. Doom 2016 was a shock for me because I thought it would be my
'go to' game for a least a few weeks. I got bored with it after around
6 hours cumulative over a few weeks. I really thought I liked it, and
then, I didn't after a while.

I had the same experience with Doom: Eternal. I got bored with it very
quickly. Those games should have been automatic likes for me, but they
just didn't hook me in any meaningful way.

I can't think of any other games on the immediate horizon that I wish
for.

I tell myself that I would really like to see a Half-Life 3 soon, an
Unreal 3, or a Tiny Tina's Wonderlands sequel.

I think the first and the third are coming. But Unreal seems to be a
dead and buried franchise.

Further in the distance is Hellgate: Redemption which is supposedly
being made by some of the original Flagship Studios team. That is
another game that I will willing pay good money for on day one.
