With the closure of Stadia Games and Entertainment giving Stadia at least the appearance of an uncertain future, Google is withdrawing its “more than 100 games” plans coming to Stadia in 2021, including nine games coming to the streaming platform in the coming years. months.
To help renew confidence in Stadia, Google decided to offer a closer look at what the next year has in store for players. In fact, the company said that “more than 100 games” will be added to the Stadia store over the course of 2021. Previously, Google had reported that it was tracking “400 games” in development for Stadia over the next few years. Today’s “100 games” number refers specifically to the 2021 launch.
For something more tangible in the short term, Google is presenting nine of these upcoming games today, including actual release dates for most of them.
First, on February 23, WayForward will bring two titles from the beloved series of platform games Shantae to Stadia. Specifically, the second game, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – director’s version – a remastered version of the original Nintendo DSi 2010 – and the fourth game, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition – director’s version – which includes all the original DLC.
Then there are a trio of games coming up in March, the first of which is Came from space and ate our brains, a top-down shooter about fighting aliens with up to four players co-op, arriving at Stadia on March 2. As announced last week, FIFA 21 will arrive at Stadia on March 17th. And it will arrive on March 26th is Kaze and the wild masks, a platform game inspired by the 90s and product of the Stadia Makers program.
On April 23, Stadia will win Judgment, a brave spin-off from Sega’s Yakuza series, in which you’ll play as a lawyer struggling – literally – to redeem yourself in a corrupt society.
Completing the list, the last three games are simply listed as “Coming soon”. Killer Queen Black is a multiplayer action and strategy platform game inspired by eSports, complete with cross-play with Steam and Nintendo Switch players. Street Power Football offers a more arcade-style football experience – or football in America – if FIFA realism is not yours. Lastly, Hellpoint is an action RPG in the style of Dark Souls set in an abandoned dark and mysterious space station.
None of these games can come as a surprise to those who followed the revelations located in rating systems like the ESRB, as recapitulated in our weekly series Stadia Changelog. However, it is good that Stadia has formalized all of these releases and even shared some release dates so that players can know a little bit of what to expect in the coming months.
