Are the dragons in the dungeon with us right now?
Briefly

...Legend in the Mist uses a version of the tag-based system created for... City In The Mist game. Having crowdfunded over $855,000 in March 2024, Legend in the Mist purports to provide a D&D-like experience that prioritizes player agency and character development; rather than use a series of stats and ability scores, players use a shifting series of story tags that reflect their narrative priorities to add modifiers...
In a year where D&D is attempting to push its own updated edition amidst a series of shifting priorities... audiences seem to be looking to get their fantasy fix in other places. However, if this list is to be believed, they mostly want to go to somewhere they already trust.
Overall it seems to predict that 2025 will be a year of building on the foundations of a consumer base that wants a familiar TTRPG experience from someone other than Wizards of the Coast. The games on this list largely break down into three categories: new editions, IP adaptations, and fantasy heartbreakers.
