There’s never been a better time to be a fan of pop culture, superheroes and their villainous counterparts, D&D, fantasy books, and just general nerd culture. That’s because some of the world’s most popular licenses are making their way to consoles and PCs this year. These games promise to give us new ways to interact with some of our favorite media franchises like DC, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and more. 

What’s more is that each of these games is not only unique in license, but in gameplay too. That’s because these titles aren’t straddled to just one genre. Hogwarts Legacy is a third-person magic-casting RPG, while MultiVersus is a platform fighter. This list of games covers all kinds of genres and all kinds of licenses, and we can’t wait to check them out sometime this year. Here are Game Informer’s most anticipated licensed games of 2022, listed chronologically by release date. 

Lego creates some of the most unique and fun takes on beloved licenses such as The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel/DC Comics, Harry Potter, and of course, Star Wars. Traveller’s Tales is returning to what is undoubtedly its most popular series with Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and this bundle promises to give us our best (and blockiest) journey through all nine Star Wars films yet. It features beautiful graphics, a fully-voiced cast, new gameplay mechanics, multiple planets to explore, and so much more.

How the hell does a modern Evil Dead: The Game not already exist? A multiplayer shooter (and surely slasher, right?) set in the world of Evil Dead, this title promises to bring all the groovy and gory action combat you’d expect out of anything that puts “Evil Dead” in its name with a fun four-player spin.
