20 Upcoming Games WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:34Marvel's Blade opens the list, with Baldino examining prolonged silence and uncertainty around Arkane Lyon.
- 3:13The Knights of the Old Republic remake's troubled development includes a move from Aspyr to Saber Interactive.
- 5:21Kingmakers delayed its medieval-meets-modern warfare premise to allow more time for polish.
- 12:41Star Citizen illustrates how far a development timeline can stretch beyond an original target.
- 26:03Little Devil Inside's long wait includes a Kickstarter campaign and a later move to Unreal Engine 5.
- 31:40Baldino adds a newly recorded update to the closing Mass Effect segment.
Jake Baldino has to add an update before his countdown is even published. Near the end of "20 Upcoming Games WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT," he explains that he recorded the original segment only a few days earlier. For a video about uncertain development, that interruption is rather fitting.
The list ranges from Marvel's Blade and the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake to Kingmakers, whose time-travel premise drops modern firepower into medieval warfare. Baldino examines prolonged silence, changing studios and projects that keep asking prospective players for patience. The upload reached roughly 1.3 million views, making it the most watched of gameranx's eight releases this week.
The comments turn announcement fatigue into a conversation of its own. Viewers discuss whether games should be revealed closer to release, remember Little Devil Inside and ask after Jurassic Park Survival. One particularly specific counterpoint comes from a viewer who says Kingmakers has occupied their gaming thoughts ever since the channel introduced it.
There was plenty to actually play, too. "Phantom Blade Zero - Before You Buy" drew a larger first-day audience than the worries countdown. Its companion tips video now has the channel's strongest daily momentum, followed by "10 Grindy Games So Addictive You'll LOSE Track of Time" and the review itself. That grind list explicitly looks beyond microtransactions, bringing Monster Hunter, Diablo 2: Resurrected and Gran Turismo 7 into the same conversation.
Across the channel, the catalog added about 11 million views over seven days. Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing stayed close to its usual level. Among nearby gaming commentary channels, videogamedunkey is running above its normal daily pace; GameSpot is quieter than usual.
The week's other practical question took Before You Buy somewhere different: "iPhone Duo - Before You Buy" tests Apple's foldable phone as a gaming device, rather than treating the folding screen as the whole story.

What viewers say
I’m old enough to remember when games were announced and released during the same console generation.
@vection2249See it on YouTube5:23 “Do you remember this one?” Jake, Kingmakers has been the only thing I’ve thought about regarding gaming since you guys put it on my radar.
@franktothemaxSee it on YouTubeI also thought I was the only person who remembered Little Devil Inside. So weird how it just vanished out of thin air.
