New Games Guide: 2023 Most Anticipated Games and Platforms

New Games Guide: 2023 Most Anticipated Games and Platforms

December 31, 2022 Off By Ibraheem Adeola

2023 already looks promising for the gaming industry, as many big and exciting games are set to be launched. From new game titles to classic game remakes such as Diablo IV, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Dead Space, 2023 is ready for a big bang. While 2022 was hit with many delays due to developers’ complex workplace challenges, we hope 2023 will be different. Talking about game release dates, it could be challenging to predict as delays from previous years could lead to a crowded release schedule the following year.

Having said that, E3 is set to resume its in-person event model in mid-June of 2023. This will give us a clearer idea of what to anticipate from video games – over the remainder of 2023 and the following years. Whether you’re looking forward to playing any of the highly anticipated upcoming Xbox Series X games, PS5 games, or Switch games, the following list got you covered. Now let’s get the ball of the 2023 Most Anticipated Games rolling!

One Piece Odyssey

big and exciting games 2023

To celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, Bandai Namco is designing One Piece Odyssey to be the most ambitious One Piece game ever. The massive turn-based RPG will give players the control of Monkey D. Luffy and The Straw Hat Pirates as they navigate the larger One Piece world. If you’re already a fan, this one is sure to take your experience to the next level.

Release Date: January 13, 2023

Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC

Fire Emblem Engage

It’s been over three years since Fire Emblem: Three Houses was released, and Intelligent Systems is making waves with Engage. This next tactical RPG will bring back the rock-paper-scissors triangle of combat. Players will also have the ability to call and fight with Fire Emblem warriors from the past, such as Marth, Roy, Ike, Corrin, and Byleth. Each will aid you as you lead your troops to victory and engage in potentially deadly turn-based battles.

Release Date: January 20, 2023

Platform(s): Nintendo Switch

Forspoken

forspoken is one of 2023 most anticipated games

Ah, Yes – Forspoken! An instalment that follows the story of a young woman from New York, Frey, who found herself in the hostile world of Athia. Frey navigates the expansive world of Athia by gliding, parkouring, and wall running while using a magical bracelet and some powerful magical skills. You can expect the storyline of Forspoken to be impactful as you have well-established writers like Gary Whitta, Alison Rhymer, Todd Stashwich, and Amy Hennig on its case.

Release Date: January 24, 2023

Platform(s): PS5, PC

Dead Space Remake

dead space remake

Since the last Dead Space game of almost ten years, EA has finally decided to revisit the title that started it all. The remake is expected to rebuild from the original, but without loading screens or micro-transactions – it may even include some content that was cut from the original. Dead Space is notably one of the best horror games ever created. The remake aims to improve upon its visuals and mechanics, showering players with a new set of fears.
