To help renew confidence in Stadia, Google has decided to take a closer look at what the next year has in store for gamers. The company has even shared that ‘more than 100 games’ will be added to the Stadia store over the course of 2021. Previously, Google had shared that they had ‘400 games’ in development for Stadia over the next few years. Today’s ‘100 games’ figure refers specifically to the 2021 launch list.
For something tangible in the short term, Google is presenting nine of those upcoming games today, including actual launch dates for most of them.
First, WayForward will bring two titles from the beloved Shantae series of platformers to Stadia on February 23. Specifically, the second game, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut – a remastered version of the Nintendo DSi original from 2010 – and the fourth game, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition – Director’s Cut – which contains all original DLC.
Then there will be three games in March, of which the first It came from space and ate our brains, a top-down shooter about alien fighting back with up to four-player co-op, coming to Stadia on March 2.

On April 23, Stadia wins Judgment, a gritty spin-off from Sega’s Yakuza series, in which you play as a lawyer who fights – quite literally – to save himself in a corrupt society.
To round out the list, the last three games are simply listed as ‘Coming soon’. Killer Queen Black is an eSports-inspired multiplayer action strategy platformer complete with cross-play with Steam and Nintendo Switch players. Street Power football offers a more arcade-esque soccer – or football, in America – experience if FIFA realism isn’t your shame. And last but not least, Hellpoint is a Dark Souls-style action RPG set in a dark and mysteriously derelict space station.
None of these games may come as a surprise to those who have followed the revelations spotted in rating systems like the ESRB, as summarized in our weekly Stadia Changelog series. Nonetheless, it’s good that Stadia has formalized all of these releases and even shared some release dates so players can know what to expect in the coming months.
