The Last of Us Part II and it's not even close. My 2nd choice would be Halo Infinite. Curious to see what 343 make of it.
I'm only going to play two of those anyway and Cyberpunk is the more interesting of the two if only just so easy choice.
(the other is TLOU2)

The once that's a new IP.
I adore BotW but I played it already. There is no way the sequel can even begin to wow me as much as BotW 1 did. Don't care about Halo.

It's probably a toss up between Zelda and The Last of Us, for me. I'm not even remotely interested in Halo and as much as Cyberpunk looks cool I do wonder how much of the hype around the game is due to its quality and how much is because Keanu Reeves is in it.
Zelda being my number 1 series, I kinda have to vote that, but I honestly think Cyberpunk 20177 is gonna be the better game. I based this on nothing of course, but I just have the feeling BotW2 is not gonna be the ambitious sequel I want it to be.
The other 2 are whatever. TLoU was okay and I expect the same only prettier with part 2. Halo Infinite...I don't even like Halo so I'm probably not even gonna play it.

The arc of posts in these topics is always interesting to me; on the surface the thread is only about asking "Which game are you most excited for?" but many users take it as an invitation to say "Which of these games do you feel the need to put down," even to the exclusion of talking about their excitement for the titles they actually anticipate
For me the answer to the thread is Breath of the Wild's sequel. Zelda games are my favorite games, full stop, and we haven't had a new iteration of Ganondorf since 2006. Really eager to see how they shake up BOTW's formula.

I'm the most interested in seeing what Nintendo does to justify a rare direct sequel.
I feel like I have a good idea what The Last of Us 2 will be - the trajectory of Uncharted 4 & The Lost Legacy would suggest TLOU with more open world elements (like a hub town, or something).
Halo Infinite will be a stepping stone towards something more interesting 6 months or a year after release.
Cyperpunk 2077, similarly I think, will end up a game calling for a sequel. I doubt it will do full justice to the ideas it has on the first attempt.

I'm not overly bothered about any of these games just yet, but the one I'm most interested in would be BotW2.
It'll have to be be cyberpunk as I don't have any of the 3 consoles which kinda remove the other options (and not ready to wade into Windows store for a first time Halo experience)
Cyberpunk 2077>Halo Infinite>Last of Us 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BOTW2
Although I'm excited about Cyberpunk, Breath of the Wild was a breath of fresh air (sorry for that) in a sea of tired tropes in AAA games, at least for me. It was probably the first time in a long time when I was reminded why I fell in love with the medium to begin with - it was a feeling I hadn't felt in a very, very long time.
So, easy vote for me.

I really don't care about any of them. Halo lost me after 3, zero interest in a direct sequel to TLOU, CDPR ruined Cyberpunk by going first-person only, and unless BotW is MARKEDLY different than the first game I never want to go back to that world again.
So I guess the poll needs a "none of the above" option.

We haven't seen anything yet from BOTW 2 and Halo. Very little gameplay from Cyberpunk and almost none from TLOU 2. How could anyone make a choice?
If BOTW 2 turns out as good as the first then that's my choice.
Second would be Cyberpunk, I'm not a fan of TW3 but I could see myself enjoying it.
TLOU 2 would be next.
Not all that interested in the next Halo.

I went with Last of Us 2. Playing through BOTW (first ever Zelda game) now and just got my paraglider to descend of the first plateau. Really enjoying the gameplay but really do not care about the story or characters(so far). For me Last of Us was the best blend of story, character, gameplay and graphics (until God of War) and can not wait to see what happens in LOU2.
I'm probably not even going to play Cyberpunk unless I find myself bored and with some time that needs filled around it's release date.
Halo Infinite I'm intrigued by, I can take it or leave it.
But it's the closest race ever between Last of Us 2 and BotW2. Last of Us has one of my favorite narratives in gaming and I just have to see where this one goes, but Breath of the Wild is one of my favorite games to just actually play. I want them both for very different reasons.
I'm leaning harder on Last of Us 2 because I think I know what to expect out of a Breath of the Wild 2, if it's just more Breath of the Wild, I'd be okay missing it if I absolutely have to.

Halo Infinite.
I still have to finish TLOU. It is a game that I should really enjoy on paper, but I guess it doesn't help that I play it at a friend's place and he loves to talk a lot while I'm playing, which kind of ruins the immersion.
Also, it just didn't really feel as snappy as stuff like the latest Gears games, as far as TPS go.
That being said, I'm sure all four games will be great to excellent. Next year is gonna be great.

Cyberpunk. The Last of Us 2 would be a loss for me, but I have a feeling Cyberpunk will be the better game. I haven't played a Halo game since 3 and couldn't really care less about the series. I didn't like Breath of the Wild, so unless some serious changes are in store for Breath of the Wild 2, I'm not interested.
Final Fantasy VII Remake should be on this list. I'd pick that.
Otherwise, I'd go with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.

I want to say Cyberpunk, because it's the sexier answer, but went with BotW 2, because it'll be the better game.
This is gonna be a tough one for them as there's lot of Halo fans who love that stuff. Me included. To me, Halo 5 has the best gameplay of the entire series, hands down. They can get rid of the Spartan Charge, but I want the basics (dash, slide, clamber) to remain. It'd be open to removing sprint if they up the base movement speed though.
You're playing a Spartan after all, not some ordinary soldier. Halo 5 made me feel that way at last.
TLOU2.
TLOU is the only single player game I'd put above BOTW, no reason for that not to continue with the sequels.

- Cyberpunk is an easy pass, we know the gameplay will be mediocre.
- Halo could be cool, but I am not familiar with the series. Is it GaaS? If so then it's another easy pass.
- BOTW2 could be amazing, or it could be the same as BOTW, which I liked. I need to see more to know if it corrected the issues and will have a distinct personality.
- TLOU2... I can't think of any reason it would not be amazing.
Went with TLOU2 though I also really want to play BOTW2.

Well, I wasn't that big a fan of BotW, have barely even played a Halo game, and CD Projekt can fuck off, so that makes this an easy win for TLoU 2. Except I don't have the right console, so I guess I won't be playing that anytime soon either.
BotW 2 easily. I don't care about Cyberpunk, Halo lost me years ago, and while the first Last of Us is one of my favorites, I'm not convinced the sequel will live up to it.
Breath of the Wild 2 easily above the other three.
From there it because a harder decision for me. Next would probably be Halo for the multiplayer alone. Then TLOU2 for its multiplayer which was 10/10 for me, but the campaign was an 8. Then Cyberpunk because, while interesting, it might not be my particular cup of tea.

Surprised that BOTW2 is heavily favored :O ...Don't get me wrong, BOTW was absolutely amazing, but out of all of these it seems like its going to be a straight forward sequel that just builds on the greatness of the first. Whereas Halo is a soft reboot, Cyberpunk is looking/hoping to be revolutionary and Last of us part 2 looks bananas.
If BotW II is anything like the first entry the answer's easy. I beat the first game ages ago and I still find myself casually searching for missing dungeons from time to time.
