"Long-awaited" - synonym?

Hello guys,

I'm somewhat sure that there's a more commonly used synonym for "long-awaited" but I can't remember what it is. If we want to say, for instance, that a long-awaited video game has been finally released, what would be the most appropriate word to use here? I think there is anticipated or expected, but those do not emphasise the fact that the thing in question has been anticipated for a long time.

I think there is another word, but I can't remember what it is. I might be wrong, after all. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Louie.

I remember... I think "highly anticipated" is what I've been looking for. Not an actual phrase, but I guess it's how I've always seen it.
