Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: First-person shooters have notoriously been identified as some of the most exhilarating gaming experiences over the last several decades. This fact will remain true in 2025 with several exciting games on the horizon. While we await news on the next Battlefield and Call of Duty slated to arrive later this year, here is a quick look at 6 upcoming first-person shooters that should be on your radar now.
Skewed and Reviewed took their time with the latest DOOM entry and found it to have impressive action and graphics while repetitive gameplay.
MonsterVine: "Combining Steamboat Willie-style animation, detective noir atmosphere, and first-person shooter chaos, Mouse: P.I. For Hire made a quirky and memorable showing at Summer Game Fest 2025."
Splitgate 2 is following the same path as XDefiant, fighting an endurance battle with Call of Duty as the new CoD Killer. Will it last?
An astounding misinterpretation of the creators quote. This isn't a "CoD-killer". Splitgate plays nothing like CoD. The dev doesn't even say he's trying to compete with CoD, and in fact it's the opposite. In the quote this writer uses IN THE ARTICLE, he says he's tired of playing the same FPS style every year. Obviously he's trying to offer an alternative, not directly compete.
Yeah, the author here is taking a lot of liberties here. Proulx was obviously saying that people needed different types of games than the draw of the annual CoD. He was not saying it was a CoD Killer, only something that wasn't trying to recreate what CoD is doing.
All true👌 But when he directly targets CoD in his speech at SGF and then goes on sayin "Our game is f awesome" what would the community think of it? CoD is boring ours is good; there ya go, another game trying to beat CoD. They just need a better PR guy who doesn't pick fights with other FPS games/developers.
