In the past two years, affected by the epidemic, many game companies always like to use the objective factor of the epidemic as a shield when announcing the jump ticket of the work, and there is a feeling of "it is not that I don't want to work hard, but I really can't come up with something". It may be harmless to postpone a work, but when many works are piled up to "jump tickets", the results for the entire game industry are disastrous. For example, the two next-generation consoles released in 2020 did not have a decent escort masterpiece until half a year later. So it's no wonder that players who bought next-generation equipment at a premium were dissatisfied: the latest machine can only play the egg fried rice of the previous generation, and who can be happy?
However, in the case of the prevalence of ticket jumping, perhaps Lao Ma himself did not expect that the sentence "no one will remember the garbage games released on time" by himself could become an excuse for all his peers. Even the major manufacturers themselves may not have expected that under the influence of the epidemic, they would "jump" 2022 into a game year.
But by 2022, will these vendors really be able to release on time when they have announced their release date? I don't believe it. To this end, I have specially selected some big works that may be possible to jump tickets next year, and in terms of the situation of the studio and the problems they face, they are in no particular order, and the jump tickets will always come.
Can you press the plate without jumping the ticket? This is a Polish factory!
The first is Gone With The Light 2. This work, which was supposed to be the finale of the previous generation, actually went straight into 2022 under one operation in an attempt to make a good start for this year with a hundred flowers. But can it really be opened? Hardly.
Although Techland has sworn to the outside world that it has finished pressing, CDPR, which is also a large Polish manufacturer, has staged a good play of pressing plates and jumping tickets, and Techland's guarantee is not so convincing. In addition, the developer of this game, Techland, first terminated his contract with the discredited and well-known screenwriter Avalon in May 2020, and then said goodbye to the artistic director and screenwriter Pavel Salinger in January 2021, and bid farewell to the two powerful story writers, can the development of "Gone With the Light 2" in a messy state still hear Crane's voice of the night devil in the fading ruins of the sunset and feel the feeling of this game? This has to be marked with a question mark. Based on this, can "Fading Light 2", which has been dancing for two years, really be successfully launched on February 4 next year? I think it's likely that I'll do it again, but I'll definitely be able to play it in the first half of the year.

The first true Sony AAA masterpiece is coming
When Horizon: Desperate West released its first promo in June 2020, I always thought it would be Sony's first AAA triumph of the next generation, and it might be available to players by the end of 2021. The game gives me the feeling of being a benchmark Microsoft's "Horizon" killer of the year, and although the types of games vary dramatically, the internal resources and player voice they get are actually on a horizontal line. Until Herman, the boss of the PS studio group, confirmed the jump ticket information on the blog, my personal expectation of the PS platform's 2021 game of the year was finally delayed to 2022.
To be honest, Devil's Souls: Remake is relatively niche, Ricky & Tinker bells: Time And Space Jump is not yet up to the strength of escort, Cosmic Robot: Wireless Controller User Guide is really good but not 3A, PS5 is one year old but belongs to its top escort masterpiece "Horizon: Desperate West" has not yet appeared. So from this point of view, whether it is a player or a financial report, Sony needs a shot in the arm, and in 2022 there is a first-hand bomb of the B Society, in my opinion, Horizon: The Desperate Situation of the West can no longer jump because the political task on it is too heavy.

The old thief is so stable, the ticket jump does not exist
When I heard that "Eldon's French Ring" was postponed to February 25, 2022, frankly, I once suspected that Martin, the procrastinator, had damaged Hidetaka Miyazaki and dragged the plot draft and refused to submit the entire construction period for a month.
In fact, although most of the creation cycle of the game production process has been in the middle of the epidemic, with Miyazaki Hidetaka's personal control of the team and the recent lack of negative news about the departure of The FromSoftware creator, this means that the team's development progress and personnel management are relatively stable. I really can't think of any reason for Eldon's Circle of Law to jump the ticket again.
There is no doubt that each of Miyazaki's games carries its own strong personal imprint. A one-liner story, a mysterious description, a brilliant level design, and a malicious but challenging combat experience are all reasons why Airden's Ring of Law has won two consecutive TGA Most Anticipated Game Awards. And this is a good proof of what players and the media expect from it. Will it still jump tickets at this last moment? I personally think it's unlikely.

Does Kazunori Yamauchi have an end to his quest for perfection?
"I hope to develop a virtual world that is more real than reality itself."
This sentence of Kazunori Yamauchi may have become the shackles of GT Racing 7, you know, in the entire PS4 generation, only one GT Sport has been launched, and there is not even a canon with a digital serial number. Personally, I think this is not that Yamauchi Ichinobu learned from Yoshihiro Fuken and did not do the right thing, but with the performance of the new generation of hardware, the screen performance became more and more realistic, which multiplied the workload of making a "GT", and also made the game have the possibility of being closer to or even beyond reality. At the same time, Yamauchi grew up in the era when Japanese automobile culture was at its peak, and he had a craftsman-like dedication to automobile culture, and in the face of better pictures and technology, he wanted the moon in the sky, not the sixpence on the ground.
But Sony is commercial, if he is not the vice president of SIE, Sony can not tolerate the entire PS4 generation without a "GT" canon, next door "Forza" has produced three canons, two sequels. Will GT Racing 7 be postponed? I think it will, at least until the second half of 2022. When pressure from Sony's top brass defeats Kazunori Yamauchi's pursuit of perfection in detail, GT Racing 7 will be officially launched.

Will there really be a "God of War" in 2022?
Before talking about whether "God of War: Twilight of the Gods" can be listed in 2022, I would like to say a digression, Sony as a huge listed company its essence is profit-seeking, it needs to balance the annual financial statements, to obtain the maximum revenue, and the three first-party A-3 games in the same year to release this luxury of exhaustion, I as a player directly call Sony Dafa good, but Sony is not stupid, they need to make a sound release schedule. Because of this, whether God of War: Twilight of the Gods can be really finished in 2022, Sony has a chance to let Santa Monica go back and polish it, such as enriching the monsters in the game or designing the levels more elaborately.
The IP of "God of War" is not just a game for Sony, Kratos and Sergeant Major, like Mario, it represents the highest level of Sony's game industry, and when the PS5 has not yet reached sales of more than 30 million units, it seems completely unnecessary to release this king explosion so early.
It is worth mentioning that this year's voice of Christopher Judge said on Twitter that his injury problem caused the game to be delayed, and further confirmed that Cory Barlog was not the producer of God of War: Twilight of the Gods. Therefore, the new game director Williams's team run-in problems after taking office are also things that need to be considered. If you really want to experience this king fried in 2022, the only possibility is that "GT Racing 7" has been postponed again, and Sony has to pull a big guy to support the scene.

Although Ubisoft is my eldest brother, Avatar really can't come out
Ubisoft's games struggle to achieve an annual rating of 9 or more, but they don't fall below the OK standard of 8, and overall, Ubisoft's games always make a good impression in the first 20 hours. But the problem is that there are too many messes in front of Ubisoft now, such as the progress coordination of more than a dozen studios around the world, the work from home caused by the epidemic, and the exaggerated flow of people, etc. have made "Beyond Good and Evil 2" and "Blue Sea Black Sail" a fog. In addition to the games that are also being made, there are Assassin's Creed: Infinity, Star Wars, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake, Rainbow Six: Xenomorph, and more.
In addition to these "unfinished works" in front of it, Ubisoft also seems to lack experience in top film IP adaptations. Avatar is Ubisoft's second top movie IP adaptation since its 35th anniversary, and the last case was Star Wars, which was officially announced half a year earlier. What's even more frightening is that Massive Entertainment, the developer of "Avatar", also merged the task of making "Star Wars" at the same time, and the two top IPs were handed over to a studio at the same time, or the studio that just finished "The Division 2", Ubisoft is a bit big. So I think that in 2022, if we want to play any of these two models, we may be able to wash and sleep.
Link, do you remember Zelda on the shores of Lake Daming?
There is no doubt that the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness" refreshed the player's awareness of freedom when it first came out, but players may forget that this is a Wii U generation game, because the postponement accidentally became the switch's escort masterpiece. In addition, after the announcement of E3 in 2019, the sequel to Zelda Legend: Breath of the Wilderness has only announced two sequels to real-world demonstrations, but there is still no clear release time, IGN founder Peer Schneider Although he said that he can play this masterpiece in November 2022, this annual level game does not currently have an official external name.
According to the degree of polishing of the "double hat" by The old Ren, it is not impossible to use it as an escort masterpiece for the Switch pro. With a larger map, a richer environment, and a new Sika Slate skill, Link, who played flowers on the continent of Helaru, is not satisfied with the game but to save Zelda, after all, there are no hundred kinds of fancy play that shows the scalp and tingle, and the player will not be easily satisfied.

Under the stars is a wheat field or fermenting raw bread
The most sensational acquisition in the gaming industry in the last decade, apart from Microsoft's 7.5 billion acquisition of B, I can't find a second one. Speaking of Starry Sky, Todd, as a well-known RPG game producer, has his own ideas and deconstructs for open-world RPGs. I don't know where the upper limit of the game "Starry Sky" is, but Todd is its lower limit, and it is definitely not bad.
At E3 2018, Todd said that "Starry Sky" is currently in an internally playable state, but in terms of the strength of the game production and bug optimization of the B Society headquarters, the four-year cycle is not enough, not to mention that during this period, Todd was distracted and wiped the ass of "Fallout 76".
I don't think it's a good sign to announce the release time of the game a year and a half in advance, it's more like Microsoft pointing to the mountain of $7.5 billion behind it and saying, this pile of wheat is no longer made into a full seat. And "Starry Sky", a hardcore spacepunk game, if it is just to dredge the toilet for the colonel of Alpha Star, then Microsoft wants to pull the ass with a knife and open the eyes of the B society. So, will Starry Sky jump tickets?
epilogue
In any case, 2022 is destined to be a big year for games. In addition to the above-mentioned works, there are also such masterpieces as "Redfall", "Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl", "Hogwarts: Legacy", "Kirby of the Stars: Exploration and Discovery", "Forspoken" and other masterpieces are about to be unveiled, many of which may enter the annual game selection of major media at the end of the year. In this environment where game production is getting bigger and bigger, there seem to be more and more game jumping tickets. But as a player, I still very much hope that the major studios can successfully overcome the difficulties and release the game on time and in quantity. No more, you first out of a semi-finished product, the follow-up three years a year a season ticket can also be, do not learn "Half-life 3" and "Titan Skyfall 3", empty sad, white game teenager head.
