Bold statement: sci‑fi fans, the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted packs a punch with fresh looks at High on Life 2, Remnant Protocol, and a wave of spacefaring adventures—and it’s shaping up to be one of the year’s most buzzworthy showcases.
But here’s where it gets controversial: not everyone agrees that a single event can competently preview 50+ games, including big-name sequels and indie surprises. Still, the lineup promises enough trailers, behind‑the‑scenes peeks, and announcements to spark plenty of debate in the comments.
What to expect: PC Gamer hosts the annual Most Wanted countdown, highlighting the 25 PC titles that editors and industry insiders are most excited about. The show airs December 4, 2025, at 12:00 pm PST / 3:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm GMT / 9:00 pm CET and streams live on PC Gamer’s YouTube channel.
Key highlights from the lineup include:
- A new trailer for Rogue Point, Team 17’s four-player co‑op shooter.
- An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at High On Life 2, the latest sci‑fi action-adventure from Squanch Games, with a release set for February 13.
- A fresh trailer for Cairn, the stylish survival‑climber from the creators of Furi and Haven.
- Tripwire Interactive revealing a new trailer for Killing Floor 3, their upcoming FPS.
- Soulmask unveiling gameplay for the ancient Egypt DLC “Shifting Sands,” featuring more God-themed masks and a desert outlook with airborne ships.
- A new trailer for Witchspire, the open-world adventure from Envar Games.
- A brand-new trailer for space flight sim Remnant Protocol, which blends cockpit dogfighting with strategic gameplay.
- News and previews from developers and publishers such as Dotemu (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion), Lightbulb Crew (Othercide), and Playstack (Balatro, Mortal Shell).
As longtime fans of the first game, there’s particular anticipation around High on Life 2. Its Rick & Morty‑style humor isn’t for everyone, but many remember the original as a refreshing, old‑school adventure that set a high bar for its follow‑up’s ambition.
Remnant Protocol also looks compelling: a spaceflight simulator that puts players in the cockpit for fast-paced dogfighting while layering in strategic systems—ship construction, tech research, and base management—so you can operate from behind the scenes to undermine a galaxy‑spanning oppressive regime.
While the exact Most Wanted lineup isn’t fully unveiled here, the Space.com team expects a strong slate of sci‑fi titles and hints that recognizable franchises like Gears E‑Day, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Saros, and Dawn of War 4 may surface.
For up-to-the-minute rocket and space‑flight news, this event is a reliable hub of trailers and announcements.
