And we're back with the Multiplatform 2025 OpenCritic Prediction League! This year the Prediction League will be taking place in a combined format as I had hinted at previously mainly to make my job easer not having to keep track of multiple threads and participant lists, I hope people are cool with this change which should also make it easier to keep track of things. The hope is to include the biggest/most noteworthy 1-3 games per month regardless of platform except perhaps January and December which are always a bit light on releases, but since releases are rarely evenly distributed across the year and most of the release dates we know at the moment are all in February we'll just see how that goes.
As before you don't have to predict for all games if you don't want to though of course that will reduce your chance to top the esteemed leaderboard (coming soon). The list of games is further below but first I'll throw in the rules for anybody new:
The Rules:
- When you place at least 3 predictions, I will add you to the list of participants which will be written in the same order for each game. I’ll tag all the participants if more games are added later on. You can still throw out 1-2 loose predictions without entering, but I won’t write you up in that case.
- Points are tallied at the end of each quarter using whatever scores the games from the last quarter are sitting at at that point. If a game releases right at the end of a quarter I might push it to the next quarter to give it time to settle.
- You can change or post a prediction up until the first reviews show up. Make sure to make a new post if you want to change a previous prediction.
