Please join me in getting super excited for all the cool looking survival games coming in 2025 (and

Hey, you! Don't just stand there half-naked with your stomach growling. Grab a stick, pick up a rock, craft a rope from whatever the heck "plant fiber" is, and combine them to make your first crude axe. Then chop down some trees, build a mech suit (I may have skipped a few steps), climb in, and start running as fast as your sprint meter will allow.

The reason I'm rushing you is because right over the horizon are a bunch of exciting new survival games. The survival genre had a great year in [[link]] 2024, with original and diverse survival games like Pacific Drive rummy mars (singleplayer survival in a car), Abiotic Factor (co-op survival in a Half-Life-esque world), Frostpunk 2 (a survival city builder), Enshrouded (a survival RPG), and Soulmask (I didn't play it but it had souls and masks, I think?).

New survival games of 2025


Co-op | Early Access | Wet | 2025
Hype Level: 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Ask any five survival fans what their favorite survival game is, and four of 'em will say Subnautica. We can't wait to see what Unknown Worlds has lurking in the depths of its next open-water adventure.


MMO | Base-building | Thirsty | Early 2025
Hype Level: 💧💧💧💧💧

I'm not even an MMO guy but every time I take a look at Dune: Awakening, I get more excited to try its spicy blend of desert survival, base-building, sandworms, and moisture management.


Singleplayer | FPS | Blimey, guv | Mar 27, 2025
Hype Level: ☢️☢️☢️☢️

Phil called this alt-history survival action game [[link]] set after a nuclear accident "," and noted it's got a bit of Fallout built in as well. That checks a lot of boxes for me.


Singleplayer | Early Access | Woodsy | Q2 2025
Hype Level: 🧭🧭🧭🧭

PUBG creator Brendan Greene is giving you a map and shoving you into the uncompromising embrace of nature in his next survival game, which will generate a dangerous new world every time you play.


Co-op | Base-building | Cozy | Jan 15, 2025
Hype Level: 🌥️🌥️🌥️

This co-op sandbox survival game takes place in a world filled with floating islands. Explore, craft, and battle corrupted creatures with your friends. It looks both cozy and cool.


Hasta | La | Vista | Baby | 2025
Hype Level: 🤖🤖

It missed an October 2024 release date, but hopefully it's back on track for this year. I admit I don't have the highest of hopes, but a survival game where I fight Terminators? I gotta give it a shot, at least.

Upcoming survival games without release dates


Co-op | Fantasy | One big planet | TBA
Hype Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 + 🔥

Swapping a jillion worlds for just one, and sci-fi for fantasy, No Man's Sky developer Hello Games is turning you loose on a planet the size of Earth to explore, craft, build, and survive.


Fantasy | Difficult | Cool backpacks | TBA
Hype Level: 🧙🧙🧙🧙🧙

Outward is a personal favorite of mine and had one of the most interesting magic systems I've ever encountered in a fantasy RPG. I'm really looking forward to the sequel, but I don't expect it to arrive in 2025.


Co-op | Cold | Long | Dark | TBA
Hype Level: ⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄

It was only just announced and probably won't be along until 2026 or so, but I'm excited there's a sequel to the outstanding original survival game. This time you can bring your friends: it's co-op.


Dinos | Diesel | Graphics | TBA
Hype Level: 🦖🦖

We were expecting it in 2022, then 2024, and now… well, they haven't said. But the sequel to dino-riffic survival game Ark has Vin Diesel in it, so it can't hide forever. 2025? We'll see.


Co-op | Base-building | Big bugs | TBA
Hype Level: 🌟🌟🌟

Look, I don't love the name and the trailer was a bit stiff, but this is Creepy Jar, maker of the excellent Green Hell. I wouldn't bet against their new survival base-builder.


Co-op | Exploration | Bird buddies | TBA
Hype Level: 🦜🦜🦜

This procedural open world survival game is bursting with color and charm, and already looks like it could be a fantastic hangout game to build and explore with friends. No date yet, though.

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous. I especially love the daily free spins and deposit bonuses. They make playing even more enjoyable and increase my chances of winning big. The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
