Expedition 33

I think this actually looked really cool, turn based RPG combat with more than a shoestring budget.

Release platforms: Xbox via Game Pass day one, PC, and PlayStation 5

Releases in 2025, anyone else thinking this could wind up being pretty damn good?

Looks right up my alley.

This looks great, liking the creepy vibe.

Definitely a promising trailer. Fingers crossed.

A bit different, kind of looks like it was inspired by the original BioShock Infinite concept (which fully existed as a playable game) before they completely changed the game.

I wasn't aware they changed Infinite around!

Does give off some Bioshock vibes but very different combat system for sure.

Yeah combat system is quite different. There is a better video but I can't find it from quickly searching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJHaP3Ovjcc they built an almost complete, very different, game for BioShock Infinite and then completely discarded it. In style and some concepts quite close to this. Can't see any developer crossover from a quick search of the people behind this game though.

Looks like it's worth keeping an eye on. I wouldn't go beyond that with my excitement levels just yet though.

Fair to say that of any upcoming game.

I had built my hopes up for Starfield and Forza Motorsport, pre-ordered both, and, well, fair to say I won't be doing that for any game ever again.

Yep it's a tale as old as time lol. Many 'a E3 I have been caught out getting hyped for a game only to be gutted a few months later.
