2023 games all the new and upcoming release this year
From what we know so far, 2023 games new upcoming releases, 2023 is going to be a huge year for RPGs. A lot of major series with long-in-the-works sequels are targeting next year for release dates. Starfield’s delay put it in the early part of 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access is planned to end with a full release during the year, and both Final Fantasy 16 and Diablo 4 are scheduled to turn up too.
2023 games new upcoming releases list
2023 Games: January
Persona 3
Release date: January 19, 2023
Yet another Persona series game is making the jump to PC this year. After Persona 4 Golden and then Persona 5 Royale, Persona 3 Portable is the next to get an official port. This is of course another teen sleuths modern fantasy shindig, and one of the weirder ones of the series to boot. In P3, characters fire a fantastical “Evoker,” a thing which totally, definitely is not a gun, at their own heads to summon their Personas. Otherwise, Persona 3 is more of the time-management, mystery, and highschool hijinks from the rest of the RPG series.
Forspoken
Release date: January 24, 2023
Modern New York teenager Frey Holland winds up in the magical world of Athia and, of all things, parkour ensues. With a magical bracelet and some explosive magical abilities, Frey skates, jumps, and wall runs her way around Athia’s open world. Forspoken made a real impression based on its lovely looks when it was first revealed and a slightly less great impression with excessive banter in a later trailer. We’ll see how the two mix when it finally hits the streets.
Dead Space Remake
Release date: January 27, 2023
Motive is remaking the much-loved space horror shooter from 2008 and, based on the limited playtime we got a few months ahead of release in our Dead Space preview, it’s a pretty faithful recreation. “The new Dead Space will be a lot like the old one, except with modern graphics, fewer mid-2000s bugs, and a far more detailed Ishimura,” our executive editor Tyler Wilde said back in October. Severing alien limbs with a plasma cutter remains gruesomely enjoyable and the physics puzzles and no-HUD approach of the original both remain.
