As we approach Christmas and the New Year, video game developers have already announced a mixture of brand-new games that are set for release in 2023. Due to this, we thought we would bring to you the five most anticipated games, which we are thoroughly excited about and can’t wait to play when they are released next year.
If there are any games you are excited about, please do not hesitate to let us know in the comments section!
Kerbal Space Program 2
Perhaps one of the best niche games ever created, Kerbal Space Program was often described as “the perfect blend between science and slapstick.” Elon Musk spoke about it via his Twitter account, and several NASA employees spoke of their admiration of the game. We are therefore delighted to state that Kerbal Space Program 2 will be released in 2023!
Unfortunately, the team behind Kerbal Space Program is yet to give a date when the new game will be released, but you can catch the trailer here via their official site. Should you decide to purchase the game, you can expect new and innovative ways to build different spaceships and explore a variety of galaxies. As usual, we hope that the game will be just as challenging as the first game so that successful missions really generate a great amount of satisfaction.
Kerbal Space Program 2 will be released on PC and will be available via the Steam Store as well as from other retailers.
Alan Wake 2
The second game on our list features another sequel game. Alan Wake 2 is set to be an action-adventure game like its predecessor. The original Alan Wake game was released 12 years ago and played like a thriller-television series.
The game consists of six episodes which the gamer must play through in order to complete the game. The original Alan Wake was later released for Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
We expect Alan Wake 2 to be similar, although we are unsure where the game will begin. Spoiler alert – the first game ends with Alan stranded in the Dark Place. The reveal trailer for Alan Wake 2 was released at the 2021 Game Awards.
We are more than ready for another psychological thriller game that we can play through. We expect it to be just as dark and spooky as the last one, and we are expecting some amazing graphics.
Alan Wake 2 will be released by Remedy Games on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Final Fantasy XVI
Expected to be released in the Summer of 2023, Final Fantasy 16 has been confirmed for PlayStation 5 and will be an action RPG. The producers behind the franchise have already stated that the franchise is struggling, and there is a lot riding on the 16th installment.
Although not a lot has been revealed as of now, we will let you know the things which we do already know. The game is set in the fantasy world of Valisthea. However, it has been revealed that it will not be an open world. The player will play as Clive Rosenfield, and like Final Fantasy XV, his companions will be controlled by the AI.
One certain difference from the previous installment is that companions will join and leave your party depending on where the story goes. We hope that this will ensure that players can have different experiences with each playthrough.
Immortal Romance 2
The original Immortal Romance is widely regarded as one of the top 10 most successful online slot games of all time, so as you would expect, we can hardly wait for the sequel to be released. The original game consisted of a vampire theme with an accompanying spooky soundtrack.
We expect that Immortal Romance 2 will offer some of the most modern features available, which include cascading reels, sticky wild symbols, respins, and loads of huge multipliers. We expect new slot games in 2023 to keep getting better and better, with more ways to win and superior graphics to slots from 2022.
Immortal Romance will be released in early 2023 and will be playable at most UK online casinos. Microgaming is the developer behind both games.
Starfield
Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, Starfield will be set in a space-themed world in the year 2330 and will be released in the first half of 2023. The game takes place 20 years after the Colony War, which saw a huge battle between the United Colonies and Freestar Collective. The gamer will assume the role of a customizable character who is a member of an organization of space explorers.
Starfield has been described by its director as “Skyrim in Space.” The studio behind Starfield was also the creator of highly popular games, including Skyrim and Fallout 4. You can watch the Starfield gameplay reveal here. Players will be able to utilize a variety of different futuristic space-age weapons and explore a variety of facilities and planets.
The first-person shooting gameplay reminds us of Call of Duty, but players can also play in third-person mode too. The lock picking, which is a key feature of Skyrim, will feature in Starfield too.
We are really excited about Starfield, and we hope that there will be plenty of opportunities for role-playing, exploring, and various ways in which to play and become successful at the game. We expect Starfield to be the best video game in 2023 and inspire plenty of other video games for the next decade.
Final Words
Of course, this will just be the tip of the iceberg, as hundreds of games will be released in the first month of 2023 alone. However, we feel that our top 5 list includes five of the games which are likely to win awards come to the end of the year.
Thank you for reading this The Hake guide, and we hope you will join us again next time!
