GameCentral presents the latest video game release schedules for the upcoming year, even if the first new release isn’t until next week.

The pandemic continues to make a mockery of release schedule plans but after all the delays last year it’s meant that 2022 is, potentially, off to one of the best starts in recent memory, with a host of promising looking titles for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

As was made clear last year, don’t take any of these release dates as guaranteed until you’re actually sat playing the game yourself but at the moment Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbidden West, and Elden Ring all seem pretty much locked into their winter and spring release dates.

It’s once things get further out than that where the worries start, but hopefully the likes of God Of War Ragnarök and Starfield will make it out this year as well. We update these schedules at least once a week, usually on a Thursday, so please bookmark this page for future reference and keep yourself up-to-date.
