5 most anticipated game releases in 2023

Here’s our take on the top 5 most anticipated game releases in 2023.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

  • Platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
  • Release Date: TBA 2023 

Hollow Knight’s 2D Metroidvania style gameplay coupled with the fantastic art direction and beautiful soundtrack made for an unforgettable indie gem. The game has a strong fan following that has been patiently waiting for Team Cherry to release Silksong for a long time. 

Silksong will be set in a mysterious unexplored kingdom and will feature one of the side characters from the first game. Join Hornet as she unravels the threads enveloping the kingdom and confronts new dangers.

Dead Space

Dead Space

  • Platform: PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
  • Release Date: January 27, 2023

The original Dead Space was one of the most iconic survival shooters in the market and made for a heart-racing horror experience. Many games have since tried to recreate this experience, but none has been as successful as the original.

This remaster has been in the making for more than a decade, and we’re all looking forward to the kind of experience the team can craft using modern videogame technology in this most anticipated game release.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

  • Platform: PS5
  • Release Date: Fall 2023

Although it was launched as a Sony-exclusive title, Marvel’s Spider-Man saw everyone’s favorite web-slinger crawl into the hearts of millions, making the game a massive success and one of the most popular exclusive titles Sony had to offer. With a great combat system and a city that’s as impressive to look at as it is to explore, the game nailed the Spider-Man experience.

After the success of the Miles Morales DLC, the game is set to have a sequel in 2023. It will feature both Spider-men and a brand new story featuring iconic villains like Venom. We’re also curious to find out how the PS5 will help Insomniac Games shake up the classic Spider-Man formula.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi Survivors

  • Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows
  • Release Date: March 17, 2023

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a pleasant surprise for most people. A narratively rich game with interesting characters that also borrows elements from Soulsbourne combat without much of the frustration involved. It was a perfect blend both for casual and hardcore gamers.

Fans have good reasons to be excited to see Cal Kestis’s story again, along with all the technical improvements and new features the game has to offer.
