Top 5 upcoming video game trailers on YouTube in 2025:

GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) – Official Trailer 24,416,164 views
Blood Message – Official Reveal Trailer4,193,013 views
The God Slayer – Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer3,992,767 views
Black Myth: Zhong Kui – Official Reveal Trailer | gamescom 20253,699,414 views
The Witcher 4 – UE 5.6 Tech Demo | State of Unreal 20253,295,439 views

3/5 are upcoming Chinese AAA games, so lots of interest even outside of China.

The amount of views for "The God Slayer" is very surprising to me since the trailer only released a few weeks ago and it's made by a relatively unknown Chongqing studio using an entirely new IP, not even based on mythology. I guess people vibed with the Avatar-style elemental Kungfu.

I should clarify this is for the IGN YouTube channel only, which is the biggest channel for video game trailers. Many games will post on their own social media account, which this doesn't aggregate. But it still shows immense interest in upcoming Chinese games.

Here is also the top trending unreleased video games on TikTok (so global ex-China) for the past month. There are 4 Chinese games on the list (Arknights Endfield, Petit Planet, Ananta, Tides of Annihilation)

This list has more focus on F2P cross-platform Chinese games, which are also seeing great success globally in the past few years.
From my estimates, Chinese games have held the title for the highest grossing F2P game on PC/Console ex-China released in 2023 (Honkai Star Rail), 2024 (Marvel Rivals) and 2025 (Where Winds Meet). I predict Arknights Endfield will have a good chance taking this crown in 2026 and Ananta in 2027.
