We often write that in forecast articles like this one: “The coming gaming year will be the very best of all time!” But for 2025 – if all the expected titles actually come – this statement isn’t that far-fetched.
Of course, this is partly because a few games that should have been released in 2024 are being postponed until the new year. This applies, for example, to the medieval role-playing game, for which the Warhorse studio asked for a few additional months of development in the summer.
Alsois one such candidate: Actually, we should have been assassinating in Japan for a long time, but Ubisoft (sensibly?) chose onedecided.
28 days are not enough!
Anyway, February 2025! For a month with so few days, there are a lot of games coming out. In addition to the new Assassin's Creed and the aforementioned Kingdom Come 2, Civilization 7 is also launching. Like its predecessors, this promises to be a particularly high-quality hour-waster.
Colleague Martin Deppe was at the match date in August, we are even planning our own GameStar special issue for Civ 7 (as well as for Kingdom Come 2) at the beginning of 2025.
Great, but is it really happening?
Of course, compiling such a list is always like looking into the crystal ball. On the one hand, because even we can't reliably predict whether a game will actually be as good as expected. And on the other hand, because shifts can of course happen to us at any time - see first paragraph.
When it comes to Anno 117, for example, we reserve the right to be slightly skeptical - we haven't even seen screenshots of the build-up hope yet! GTA 6 is also such a candidate. This was announced by Rockstar Games (at least for consoles) for 2025, but it really wouldn't be the first time that a GTA has been postponed. And we're not even talking about the PC version, which hasn't even been confirmed yet (but is of course inevitable).
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- Genre:Role play
- Developer:Warhorse
- Release:February 4, 2025
If you want to know what event shook the world in March 1403, you can of course consult Wikipedia or a history book of your choice. Or you can play Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, because this event plays a big role in it.
Of course, we won't give any spoilers, but rather tell you that in the successor to the realistic medieval role-playing game you will once again slip into the role of the good Heinrich. He is now a bodyguard for his friend Hans Capon and actually leads a quiet life until... oh, we didn't want to give any spoilers.
After all, the story is one of the main attractions of the game, and the amount of text is correspondingly large: the makers promise 2.2 million words, which is enough for 100 film scripts or 25 novels. So there's a lot to hear and read, because this pile of letters probably also includes descriptive texts and in-game documents that are typically not set to music.
Good news for Denuvo critics: Warhorse wants to forego the controversial copy protection and DRM measures in general. Even if that means there probably won't be a preload.
Year 117: Pax Romana
- Genre:Building strategy
- Developer:Ubisoft Mainz
- Release:2025
It is the biggest jump in time in the Anno series: after the brilliant Anno 1800, it goes back 1,683 years to the Roman Empire. Ubisoft Mainz is still holding back with information and images, but we already know a few facts, also thanks to meticulous artwork analyses.
So it is clear that the game world is splitting up again: Lazio and Albion are two twin provinces. Unofficial images show neatly laid out Roman buildings, while in Albion everything looks more chaotic, slate, weedy and messy. No wonder, because Albion is based on earthly Britain, and the British still drive on the wrong side of the road to this day!
Cypress trees and lavender fields await you in Lazio...
What's also new is that you have more freedom of choice when it comes to leveling up your population. The first level in Albion are the so-called Waders, and as you move them up a level you can either Romanize them or have them follow the Celtic tradition. Then Waders become either Smiths (Celtic) or Mercators (Roman), each with their own requirements, for example when choosing clothes.
GTA 6
- Genre:Action
- Studio:Rockstar Games
- Deadline:2025
Just to clarify: No, there is no official announcement from Rockstar Games yet that the PC version ofwill be released in 2025 - so far only the console versions are being talked about. But on the one hand we are still looking forward to the game, and on the other hand the 2025 date for the consoles has to be met first!
But being the incorrigible optimists that we are, we assume the best case scenario. In it we drive through a modern version of Vice City with the gangster couple Lucia and Jason. Of course, that doesn't mean that Rockstar doesn't pull more characters out of the hat.
It will also be exciting to see whether and how the studio even wants to parody the current political situation in the USA. In terms of play, however, we don't expect a revolution. There are rumors of smarter NPCs, new interaction options and even destructible buildings, but Rockstar Games would be stupid to tinker too much with the established formula for success.
The technology should make big leaps forward; we expect realistic water physics, improved handling and impressive weather effects.
Gothic Remake
- Genre:Role play
- Developer:Alchemy
- Release:2025
The Spanish studio Alkimia apparently manages the almost impossible: transferring the 23-year-old Gothic, which is so loved for its rough edges and other things, into the present without sacrificing its charm.
We have thiscan now play for themselves. At least a version of the prologue made especially for the press. The world looks fantastic, the forest within the magical barrier is dense, full of animal noises - including the screams of ill-tempered scavengers.
At first it doesn't look Gothic at all, but lurking between the trees is the feeling of being out in the mine valley again. At the beginning with a real dullie who seems to trip over his own feet with almost every step. We're exaggerating, of course, but Alkimia wants to make the progress and development of the Nameless as noticeable to us as it was over 23 years ago.
While our hero initially clumsily swings his sword towards the scavenger, he later performs dashing pirouettes to get rid of his opponents. A lot of what we've already experienced reminds us pleasantly of the original: meat bug ragout on the fire, opponents full of arrows, the shooting maneuver that destroys the spinal cord. And the music comes from Kai Rosenkranz again.
Pioneers of Pagonia
- Genre:Construction strategy
- Developer:Envision Entertainment
- Release:2025
Settler dad Volker Wertich likes to go hiking, he once told us that on the sidelines of gamescom. Maybe that's one of the reasons why the workers have to work so hard in his build-up games. That's also inWell, here the workers traipse in the best settler style from raw material sources to production buildings to warehouses and back again - a real joy to watch.
You've actually been able to play the title since the end of 2023, because that's when the early access version started. It was already in a very playable condition, and new game elements have been added constantly since then. For example, in the summer there was the mining update in whichnow mines iron, coal, nickel, gold and silver.
So that it doesn't get boring, the update also brought the new enemy faction of the Scavs to the otherwise peaceful islands. You can now counter these heavily armored villains with the Blade Dancer, an experienced fighter. But if all this is too stressful for you, you can simply configure the game without any opponents and settle in peace.
Civilization 7
- Genre:Round strategy
- Developer:Firaxis Games
- Release:February 11, 2025
They dare to do something at Firaxis! Becauseoverturns some established game concepts or changes them drastically. For example, you now change people several times in a game: The game is now divided into three major eras, and with each change you can choose a different culture.
If you lead the Egyptians in ancient times, you might take over the Shawnee Indian people when you jump into the age of exploration - to give a glaring example. The last and third era is the modern era with another people. But you play your ruler throughout.
Every epoch change also changes your cities. As in real history, basic structures remain standing, but the settlements grow, more modern buildings become more important, a train station perhaps displaces the granary. So far we've only been able to try out the ancient ones, but this one toowas exciting. And a bit unusual because we played the Romans as Hatshepsut. But at its core, Civilization 7 remains a Civ!
Path of Exile 2
- Genre:Action role-playing game
- Developer:Grinding Gear Games
- Release:2025
Path of Exile went into Early Access in December and is already making a really good impression there. Varied classes and huge skill trees invite you to experiment. And although a lot of content is still missing, there is already an incredible amount to do.
The focus of Early Access is actually on the endgame. Unusual, but what has ever been ordinary about Path of Exile? The heart of the endgame is the so-called Atlas map, an infinitely expandable world that is partially permeated by corruption.
Your task is to cleanse this corruption, defeat powerful bosses and open up new areas. At the center of the map is the Ziggurat, an ancient Vaal relic that serves as a gateway to the endgame areas. To enter these areas, you need Waystones, which determine the level of your opponents and can be modified by yourself.
But since you failed in one area, you have to find another way to new areas. So that it doesn't get boring, the Altas map consists of many different biomes such as jungles or snowy mountains.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era
- Genre:Round strategy
- Developer:Unfrozen
- Release:2. Quartal 2025 (Early Access)
Rumor has it that an anonymous member of the GameStar editorial team, let's call him Dartin Meppe, was at the announcement ofdid a somersault. Because the new old Heroes game could be exactly what fans of Heroes 3 have wanted since... Heroes 3.
After all, everyone knows that it was the best part of the series! And the Unfrozen team is well aware of the big footsteps they are following. But instead of standing in awe and simply making a prettier Heroes 3, the developers are modernizing and expanding the fantasy turn-based strategy game in a meaningful way.
For example, with sparingly dosed 3D effects, a deeper magic system that is less random-based, and more upgrade options for your troops, which in turn affects the beautifully tactical turn-based battles. The beautiful maps alone, full of flashing stacks of gold, tempting treasure chests and artifacts, bring tears of emotion to the eyes of Heroes fans. But only briefly, after all we want to bag it all, immediately!
Hades 2
- Genre:Action role-playing game
- Developer:Supergiant
- Release:6. May 2025
Admittedly, you can playnow, because the action role-playing roguelite has been available in early access since May 2024. And thanks to the very positive reviews there, you don't need to be a clairvoyant demigod to know that Hades 2 has hit potential.
This time, the young witch Melinoë is the new heroine taking part in action-packed battles against the henchmen of the Titan Kronos and his underbosses. Hades 2 makes generous use of its predecessor in terms of play: we start each adventure in Erebos (a part of the underworld) and go into battle there.
In addition to an evasive sprint and various magical weapons, it also includes the blessings of various Greek gods. For example, Hestia gives us fire powers, the Titan Seleste the power of the moon. There are also countless items, special powers, resources, tarot cards, etc.
All of this ensures an immense depth of play that you wouldn't expect from the brightly colored hustle and bustle. And if you fail despite all the equipment, you can simply start again with more experience - and hopefully new skills - just like a roguelite.
Manor Lords
- Genre:Construction strategy
- Developer:Slavic Magic
- Release:2025
Early Access, a blessing and a curse at the same time! Blessing because you – as in the case of– gets an early insight into a game and can increase the anticipation immeasurably. But curse, because it is in the nature of EA versions that they are not finished yet and at some point you have seen everything.
This is particularly hard at Manor Lords. Although it is a lot of fun to place the beautifully organic villages in the landscape, it is still quite monotonous and there is also a lack of variety in the cityscape. In addition, although there is already a sophisticated economic system, as early access economists we largely have to make do without useful statistics or other feedback.
But all of this is forgotten when you give your villagers weapons and send them into battle against rival princes. The battles are not as impressively huge as they were in Total, but they are very detailed and exciting. However, the EA is also noticeable here, the AI remains below its capabilities. On the other hand, all of this means that Manor Lords still has a lot of potential!
Judas
- Genre:Ego-Shooter
- Developer:Ghost Story Games
- Release:expected in 2025
If you approach the topic from the negative side, you can say without hesitation that Ken Levine can't seem to come up with anything new. Because, the game that Levine and his new studio Ghost Story Games have been working on for a few years, looks totally like Bioshock.
The level design, the NPC design, the enemy design, the weapon design. It literally screams Bioshock. But it's called Judas because the rights to Bioshock are owned by 2K and a Bioshock 4 has long been in the works.
In Judas we end up on a space station where - as is usual for space stations - something has gone really out of control. And apparently we in the eponymous role are not entirely innocent of it. In addition, the name Judas was of course not chosen as a joke, because as far as we know we are supposed to team up with others in the course of the plot in order to ultimately be able to deceive each other.
The goal is definitely to escape from the space station. If you approach the topic from the other side, then you can look forward to an intelligent shooter in an exciting setting that will definitely give you some food for thought. And of course we are initially kind enough to approach Judas from exactly the same side.
Doom: The Dark Ages
- Genre:Ego-Shooter
- Developer:id Software
- Release:2025
Who? InFor once, it doesn't go to some sci-fi future in which some researchers on Mars have opened the gate to hell. Instead it goes... into the Dark Ages. But of course not in one like we will find in Kingdom Come 2. Realism in a Doom? Of course not.
In Doom: The Dark Ages we are supposed to experience the origin story of the Slayer - in a techno-medieval period in which we fight against the forces of hell to save a kingdom. But let's be honest, the stories of the Doom games all fit on a beer mat. So everyone! On one! We just want to shoot demons back to hell with brash weapons to driving music anyway.
And the first scenes that id Software has published so far show exactly that. Cool variants of well-known weapons, cool variants of well-known enemy types and demons as big as skyscrapers! We'll also get some sort of flying lizard under our belts, with which we'll race through the incredibly impressively built levels. The little animal can also breathe fire, which could be particularly helpful against extremely large demons.
Avowed
- Genre:Role play
- Developer:Obsidian Entertainment
- Release:February 18, 2025
Mushrooms aren't that common in games. There might be Toad from Nintendo's Mario universe. Or even the opponents from The Last of Us. In Obsidian's role-playing game Avowed, we ourselves are one of these mushroom heads. Because divine blood pulsates in our hero's veins, and that apparently leads to mushroom infestation.
Although you can set what exactly the mushroom farm looks like in the character editor, it is always equally important to the story. Because we are the victims of a plague, the scourge of dreams, which inevitably leads to a bloodlust. But it's not that far yet, but many of the opponents are already in the final stages.
It all sounds pretty crazy. We explore a huge game world, have a lot of dialogues with the residents, complete tasks and fend off various opponents from time to time. The fights still lacked a bit of “pressure” when they were previewed, but the makers still have a few months left. However, Avowed will be released in the highly competitive February and thus in direct competition with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Good luck!
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Genre:Action-Adventure
- Developer:Ubisoft
- Release:February 14, 2025
We don't know whether those responsible at Warhorse and Ubisoft have somehow agreed to stop the battle for audience favor between Kingdom Come 2 andto specifically move from autumn 2023 to February 2024. Good for our hit list here, but difficult for us players who then have to decide which title they want to invest time and money in.
Unimpressed by such profanities, the Shadows heroes Yasuke (samurai) and Naoe (ninja) will plunge into another assassin adventure to take down an evil daimyo. The strong Yasuke is more likely to hit it, Naoe prefers to sneak with tools like a grappling hook or reed snorkeling.
With the exception of a few story missions, you can freely choose which of the two characters (and therefore which approach) you play; you can change at any time. This option was last available in Assassin's Creed Syndicate (2015). We're excited to see whether Shadows will be a massive monster like Odyssey or Valhalla again, or whether Ubisoft will be more oriented towards the manageable, but denser Mirage.
Monster Hunter Wilds
- Genre:Action role-playing game
- Developer:Capcom
- Release:February 28, 2025
And another February game because it's so nice right now, albeit on the last day of the month. Eleen was already able to visit the developers in Osaka and play for five hours, which she reports on in the video above. What's particularly surprising is that there hasn't been this much story in any part of the series before. But fans should still feel comfortable:
Once again you go out as a monster hunter to hunt and ideally kill ever larger wild animals. Because actually every Monster Hunter is a series of tough boss fights. Among other things, it is important to master the 14 weapons in the game, which enable powerful combos.
You can always take two of these tools with you into the huge, lively open world and switch between them as you wish. In the hunters' base camp you can also equip yourself with various items (traps, bombs, potions, etc.) and perhaps even find human companions for the hunt - Monster Hunter Wilds, like its series predecessors, is probably most fun in co-op mode.
Together, the open world playground with its terrain and weather effects can be used even better; the behavior of the many animals in particular (driving herds in front of them as bait, etc.) plays a major role.
Little Nightmares 3
- Genre:Adventure
- Developer:Supermassive
- Release:2025
Little Nightmares was a little surprise hit from Sweden in 2018 that hardly anyone expected. The extremely popular Little Nightmares 2 was also released via Bandai Namco in 2021, although the Tarsier development team had long since fallen into the arms of the Embracer octopus.
THQ Nordic is currently working on a game called, funnily enough, just as goodcould be called, but the latter is now being created at Supermassive Games because Tarsier has obviously transferred not only the publishing but also the trademark rights to the series to Bandai Namco.
So now Tarsier and Supermassive are each working on a co-op adventure in which small children have to free themselves from a nightmare world. Little Nightmares 3 is pretty dark, as were its predecessors, but Reanimal can be described as downright repulsive in places.
In any case, we are very excited to see which game will ultimately be the most popular: the official or the unofficial third part. In any case, they both seem to be becoming nightmares. Hopefully in the best possible sense.
Dune: Awakening
- Genre:Online role-playing game
- Developer:Funcom
- Release:2025
Arrakis aficionados are currently doing really well: After the two bombastic films, the successful (at least according to the first episodes) prequel series “Dune: Prophecy” about the origins of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood is currently running. And at the beginning of 2025 there will be an online role-playing gameagain on the desert planet.
You start the adventure as a prisoner of House Harkonnen, who somehow escapes and then has to make his way in the barren Arrakis desert. Developer studio Funcom promises strong survival elements: We collect raw materials and use them to build a base and even a sand bike.
We get water – in the best Fremen style – from the bodies of defeated enemies. We kill them in close and long-range combat or even use quasi-magical abilities. The latter gives us the drug Spice, which in return is addictive and which could also be sold lucratively.
Politics and diplomacy will be added as game elements later in the game. But you never meet the Kwisatz Haderach Paul Atreides, Dune: Awakening takes place in a parallel universe, so to speak, without the Fremen Messiah.
Crimson Desert
- Genre:Action-Adventure
- Developer:Pearl Abyss
- Release:2025
Who else remembers?? At the beginning of 2021 you were able to read about the fantastic plans that Pearl Abyss (the team behind the MMO Black Desert) wanted to complete for a full-fledged medieval fantasy spectacle by the end of 2021. Yes, Crimson Desert was originally scheduled to release in the fourth quarter of 2021. Worked great!
Don't worry, the single player experience around the hero named Kliff will finally appear in 2025. And wow, what the game looks like! At least if all the shadows work as they should, which doesn't always seem to be the case, as recent videos from Crimson Desert show.
But oh, shadow! As long as the story works and the Koreans at Pearl Abyss haven't hidden any strange design decisions from us. What we don't find quite as successful is that boss fights are occasionally interrupted by cutscenes in which we are then condemned to just watch or - even worse - have to pass a quick-time test.
Apart from that, the banging sounds incredibly dynamic, also because of the successful music. Oh yes, our hero Kliff can probably fly from point x in the plot. Well, not really flying, but sailing down high cliffs. With an incredibly cool black cape.
Delta Force
- Genre:Ego-Shooter
- Developer:Team Jade
- Release:2025
For everyone who has missed it so far: The new oneNot only is it supposed to be a brutal multiplayer shooter à la Battlefield, it also comes with a single-player campaign. And the two couldn't be more different in terms of setting.
While we plunge into large battles as an elite soldier in the multiplayer in 2035 and gradually unlock more and more diverse pieces of equipment, in the solo experience we fight in Somalia in 1993, which was discussed in the film “Black Hawk Down” and later in the game Delta Force: Black Hawk Down.
We haven't seen anything from the campaign yet, but we have already played the multiplayer. After initial enthusiasmthat Delta Force lacks its own ideas, the balance is still a problem and the playable characters are just as annoying as the Specialists in Battlefield 2042.
But Delta Force still has time to develop before the final release and many of the problems mentioned do not affect the campaign. In this respect, we are still excited to see what the developers deliver in the end.
Mafia: The Old Country
- Genre:Action
- Developer:Hangar 13
- Release:2025
Origin stories have their own charm: they shed more light on a well-known game world, explain the motivation of well-known characters and, on top of that, create a nostalgic flair. WhetherTo be honest, we can't confirm that all of these buttons are pressed yet, because little is known about the action game yet.
What is certain is that we are traveling to Italy in the 1900s and witnessing the emergence of the mafia there. We expect usual mafia tasks such as protection rackets, smuggling and robberies. And all this while the many rival criminal clans of southern Italy come together to form a large organization.
The open world elements of The Old Country are likely to be rather meager. On the one hand, because winding Italian towns aren't really suitable for chase scenes. And of course also because cars were not particularly common in this era. The head of the development studio Hangar 13, Nick Baynes, also speaks of a “deep, linear narrative with the feeling of a classic mafia film.”
Subnautica 2
- Genre:Survival game
- Developer:Unknown Worlds
- Release:2025 (Early Access)
takes the well-known strengths of the original and expands them with exciting innovations. A strange, even deadlier underwater world awaits to be explored. The focus is on survival, exploration and crafting, but this time with fresh tools and a dynamic genetics system that adapts to the harsh conditions.
The biomes should become more vibrant and threatening: towering cliffs, bioluminescent forests and abyssal deep-sea trenches are full of secrets – and dangers. With better equipment, you can advance into previously inaccessible regions in Metroidvania style; the map helps you stay oriented.
For the first time, you can also experience the adventure in co-op with up to three friends. Build bases, explore ruins or master Leviathan attacks together. The dark story tells of an AI that drives you and a world that is out of balance. Subnautica 2 remains familiar, but also breaks new ground.
Vampire Bloodlines 2
- Genre:Role play
- Developer:The Chinese Room
- Release:2025
After a turbulent development and multiple postponements, daresfinally a release. The original is considered a cult classic with an unforgettable atmosphere and deep role-playing systems, but the question remains: Can the sequel really continue this legacy?
The new Seattle looks good: a modern, dark and glittering backdrop for intrigue and action. But first impressions show that the focus is more on polished gameplay and action-heavy combat, which might make fans of the narrative depth skeptical. Dialogues and decisions remain central, but whether they achieve the same narrative power as the predecessor remains to be seen.
The clan system returns and promises many options for customizing your vampire, although modern customizations and simplified systems may offer hardcore fans a little too little complexity. Bloodlines 2 has potential, but it remains to be seen whether the mix of nostalgia and innovation can live up to high expectations - or whether the bite will ultimately be toothless.
Revenge of the Savage Planet
- Genre:Action-Adventure
- Developer:Racoon Logic
- Release:May 2025
Journey to the Savage Planet was a small, fine action snack in 2020. Wonderfully over-the-top, brightly colored and maximally self-deprecating, it was around 15 hours of action-packed action on the eponymous Savage Planet (which is actually called ARY-26). The successorNot only does it now double in size, but it also switches from a first-person to a shoulder perspective.
A right decision, because it means you can see more of the nameless hero's funny animations. He has to repair his crash-landed spaceship and is constantly improving weapons, tools and his jetpack. With more equipment, he can then reach previously inaccessible areas in Metroidvania style.
These now also include underwater levels, and a new map helps with orientation in the sometimes very vertical (jetpack!) levels. Cool: You can use the slime cannon to distribute mush throughout the levels, which can be used as glue or a slide, depending on the color. Even cooler: There will be a co-op mode in which you can even explore the Savage Planet in split-screen mode.
Slay the Spire 2
- Genre:Strategy
- Developer:Mega Crit
- Release:2025 (Early Access)
145,000 positive Steam reviews can't be wrong, that's how many the deck-building roguelite Slay the Spire has accumulated since its release in 2019. It makes you wonder that the Mega Crit development studio won't be releasing its successor until 2025arrives.
Especially since two of the classes from the predecessor – Ironclad and Silent – are being recycled. But there will also be new classes like the Necrobinder. No details are known about this yet, but rumor has it that he can add enemies he has already defeated into his repertoire. What is certain is that Slay the Spire 2 sticks to the tried and tested roguelite principle, so be prepared for many, many playthroughs.
With the switch from the Unity to the Godot engine, the makers promise significant graphical improvements. While Part 1 was rather static, there are now lots of small animations and effects. The change should also make it easier for Modern to program for Slay the Spire 2. The early access phase will start in 2025, but how long that will last is anyone's guess.
Battlefield 7
- Genre:Ego-Shooter
- Developer:Dice
- Release:expected in 2025
The rumors and information aroundsound promising for long-time fans of the series: DICE and EA want to avoid the mistakes of Battlefield 2042 and take the franchise back to its roots. Instead of the unpopular Specialists, there should be anonymous soldiers with classes again, and the maps should offer more tactical depth, similar to the fan favorites Battlefield 3 and 4.
These steps could regain the trust of the community. But despite the positive outlook, skepticism remains appropriate. After Battlefield 2042's rocky launch, EA is under pressure to really deliver this time.
Critical points such as the implementation of a server browser, stable content updates and the return to an immersive battlefield atmosphere will determine success or failure. The number of players also remains an issue: While 128-player battles sounded impressive on paper, in practice they often resulted in chaotic and untactical matches. A focus on 64 players could help here.
It is still unclear whether EA can regain the trust of fans in the long term. But one thing is certain: after the low points of the last few years, the series doesn't have a second chance for a failed release.
This is what awaits us in 2025
Based on this outlook, you are probably sure: 2025 will be a big year for computer games. Long-awaited sequels to some of the biggest game franchises and exciting new brands are (probably) celebrating their release. But there is also a lot to discover outside of the big blockbusters. Sören introduces you to 15 insider tips with great potential in the article above.
