5 Slot Releases We Can’t Wait For in 2025

A Big Year in Slots

With half of 2025 done and dusted, this seems like the perfect opportunity to look at what the rest of the year has in store for us when it comes to providers and their new releases. Slots players get giddy at the mere mention of new slots.

To make life simple, the review team at Hideous Slots has dived into their bag of tricks to see what’s up with some of the best slots we’ll see over the summer of 2025!

Don’t make plans or book any holidays just yet – just kidding, you can play on your mobile! Game providers like ELK Studios, Nolimit City, Pragmatic Play, and others are lining up to bombard sites with new releases.

The team has compiled five online slots that are destined to make a huge impact among UK players in the coming months. What are they? Well, find out in this blog and learn more about these exciting titles!

Holy Hand Grenade 2: Dream Drop

 ‘O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade…’ The most sacred of holy relics and slots returns. Prepare yourself for another medieval adventure with the talented Print Studios. The creative studio cashed in on the success of the first Holy Hand Grenade – our Slot of the Year winner in 2023!

Their gift for fun online slots is backed up by their impressive catalogue that features the colourful Chomplings, Big Stack Lumberjack, and Dreadworks.

Holy Hand Grenade 2: Dream Drop hits slot sites in August. However, it's shrouded in mystery, and there’s a certain element of excitement among the slots community as to what it will have to offer.

So, for now, as we wait for the second coming. Let's see if Print Studios can top the success that they had with this fun slot and theme. For now, we’ll have to make do with the original Holy Hand Grenade slot.

Pirots 4 – ELK Studios

The 24th of July will see the Pirots crew begin a new adventure as ELK Studios prepares to launch the next episode of the Pirots saga with Pirots 4. The cool and collected ELK are playing their cards close to their chest with this one.

What we do know is, ELK Studios went into uncharted territory with the Pirots series and seemed to have struck gold with these loveable feathered rogues. On the other hand, these ELK slots have brought much more to the table.

The games have given players some brilliant but strange mechanics. It was ripping up the rulebook and giving players something new, which has led to the great appeal of these online slots. 

However, we believe that you can expect more of the above: the usual sharp graphics, exciting bonuses, and, like the other games in the series, fully optimised for mobile.

There’s great expectation surrounding Pirots 4; the series hit the ground running with the first Pirots slot. Then managed to raise the bar with Pirots 2 and Pirots 3 – both highly rated by players. Admittedly, there was a slight dip with the most recent game, Pirots X.

Indeed, it’s fair to say that fans will want big things from ELK Studios and Pirots 4. Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.

Pirots X Super Bonus Game

Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter

Pragmatic Play is hoping to sweeten the deal with players in July when the top game provider unleashes Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter. This slot with a candy theme, capable of striking fear into the hearts of all dental hygiene practitioners everywhere, is sure to capture the imagination of fans of the series.

The Sweet Bonanza Series has been built carefully by Pragmatic Play, and players are sure to find plenty more dynamic sugar-coated landscapes filled with lollipops and mountains of icing sugar.

If the other sweet slots are anything to go by, there’s likely to be more multipliers, free spins features, Pays Anywhere reels, and tumbling features.

Anyhow, there’s no need to panic, as Pragmatic always delivers slots that are the envy of other providers.

Tanked 3: First Blood 2

Finally, we have Tanked 3: First Blood 2. As one Nolimit City fan observed, ‘Tanked 3 is so good, it skipped Tanked 2’… So, it’s going to be a long wait until August for the next instalment of the Tanked slot series.

However, one thing is certain: none of the main protagonists found on the reels will have been studying The Art of War!

It’ll be fun to see how Nolimit outdoes themselves with Tanked 3. Will they better the features found on the first Tanked? Still, this is Nolimit City we’re talking about!

No doubt we can expect more of the same with this eagerly anticipated release from the provider who’s responsible for online slots like Highway to Hell, Home of the Brave, and Fire in the Hole 3. We can’t wait to see what shock and awe tactics Nolimit uses this time.

Tanked Mayhem Spins

Wild Swarm Triple Hive – Push Gaming

The end of July will see the release of Wild Swarm Triple Hive from Push Gaming. What’s the word from the hive? Following the success of the previous slots, Push has gone all in on this latest addition to their nature-themed series.

Overall, Wild Swarm and Wild Swarm 2 were charming slots that treated players to beautiful graphics, rewarding features, and fun soundtracks.

No doubt the third game will give us more of the same as we trip through the woods. Push Gaming's ability to craft a fantastic-looking slot with interesting narratives will be on show here for all players to enjoy.

There are bound to be wholesome-looking symbols and majestic backgrounds filled with dense woodlands and smiling bumblebees. This is going to bee another slot to look forward to!
