Search data revealed that the most anticipated video game for 2022 around the world is God of War Ragnarök, with 737,000 global searches each month for the game. It’s the ninth installment in the God of War series and was due to be released last year, but it’s clear that people are still very excited about the game.
With the official gameplay revealed last week, it likely comes as no surprise that the Harry Potter open-world game, Hogwarts Legacy, ranks second for the most anticipated video games of the year, with 541,000 monthly searches around the world.
Two of the games featured in the top 10 rankings take place in the Batman universe but give users the opportunity to play as different characters other than the Dark Knight. Gotham Knights lets users play as characters such as Bat-Girl, Robin, Nightcrawler, and Red Hood, whilst Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League allows users to play as the DC villains.
