I will try Path of Exile 2
And it may be tricky to avoid Soul Reaver

Other than that, I will keep a look out for deals on my wishlist.

If I had VR I would definitely have been interested in the Alien game.
 
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind
Taito Milestones 3
Turbo Kid - the pre-order window closes December 25th.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

I'll probably give Indy a go seeing as I have GP. Already locked in for POE2.

Might also give Marvel Rivals a shot but never been a fan of Overwatch so I doubt it'll be to my tastes.

Indiana Jones, maybe Soul Reaver remake. Also keeping an eye on Fantasian. First holiday season I can remember when I haven't given Sony a dime.

EDIT: oh yeah, I'm definitely pick up Fantasian. That's The Gooch and Uematsu's game, I'm in. I keep getting it mixed up with Metaphor Refantazio, which I decided to steer clear of.
 
Hoping Schildmaid MX Switch and the 3.0 update arrives this year, otherwise it's just going to be some post-Christmas pickups if Santa comes through with a Meta Quest 3 … I was a pretty good by this year :)

Fantasian NEO Dimension. Been waiting years for that game to leave Apples store.

Likely Path of Exile 2 based off reception

Ditto Indiana Jones, though lower priority then those two.

Technically, none.

However, I'll know I get evercade version of blood omen legacy of Kain from GF
 
Definitely PoE2, maybe the Soul Reaver remasters since the Blood Omen games got released on PSN and updated on GOG recently. Otherwise waiting since Q1 of most recent years has been far more interesting than the Q4 releases. Lots of classic RPGs being remastered early next year (Freedom Wars, Tales of Graces f, Suikoden 1/2, Lunar) and I know Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and maybe Monster Hunter Wilds will eat up a ton of my time.
 
Okay, I feel like I need to update my list now as I get more info on December releases:

Fantasian Neo Dimension - I just recently realized this is a game from the father of Final Fantasy. MUST HAVE!
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind
Taito Milestones 3
Turbo Kid
- the pre-order window closes December 25th.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered
Cho Aniki Collection
ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 1
ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 2
YEAH! YOU WANT "THOSE GAMES," RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!
- Yes, this is actually the title of a video game

Everything above except Power Rangers I will be picking up physically. Hopefully, they announce a physical for Power Rangers.
