Now thatMicrosoftowns Bethesda, Starfield quickly shot to the top of many people’s list with the space action RPG undeniably being Xbox’s biggest exclusive. Development has been ongoing since 2015, something that made the ambitious project said to feature over 1,000 explorable planets. That should keep us busy untilThe Elder Scrolls 6andFallout 5.
Starfield is scheduled to launch on Xbox One Series X/S and PC in the first half of 2023.

Cal Kestis returns inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, a sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2023.
Dead Space

Few horror games have left the legacy that Dead Space did, so it’s no surprise really that EA decided to remake the 2008 release for new consoles. Set in the 26th century, engineer Isaac Clake investigates a distress call from the USG Ishimura that leaves him no option but to take arms against mutated human corpses as he searches for his wife.
Dead Space is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on January 27th, 2023.
Final Fantasy 16

I’m sorry, what! Two Final Fantasy games in one year? Oh yes, Final Fantasy 16 (or Final Fantasy XVI) is the next mainline entry in the series, this time set in the mountainous land of Valisthea where six factions are on the verge of war. The main protagonist, Clive Rosfield, will venture on a quest for revenge after a “great tragedy”.
Final Fantasy 16 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 in the summer of 2023.
Street Fighter 6

Hadoken! Ryu, Chun-Li, Jamie, Kimberly, Luke and Guile are all back for another round in Street Fighter 6. It’s staggering to think that the competitive fighting game has now been going 35 years with the seventh entry in the mainline series set to introduce real-time commentary and take advantage of the gorgeous graphics engine that has helped the Resident Evil series shine in recent years. Speaking of which…
Street Fighter 6 is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/ S and Microsoft Windows in 2023.
Resident Evil 4

Capcomhas been on stellar form in recent years, now remaking arguably its most popular game ever for a new generation in Resident Evil 4. Players will once again control US agent Leon Kennedy on a mission to rescue the president’s daughter from an infected violent cult in a remote Spanish village, although the narrative is interestingly being changed up a little bit.
Resident Evil 4 is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on March 24th, 2023.
Hogwarts Legacy

Aside from the Lego games, I’d argue the Harry Potter series has never reached its full potential in video game form. That’s why the excitement forHogwarts Legacyis palpable. Imagine being able to live out your fantasies, explore the halls of Hogwarts, visit the town of Hogsmeade and get lost in the Forbidden Forest. Set in the 1800s, players will control a fifth year student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear down the wizarding world in this open-world action adventure from Avalanche Software. It’s going to be magic.
Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows on February 10th, 2023. Those on Nintendo Switch will also receive a version of the game at a later date.
Pragmata

Sticking with Capcom for the second, Pragmata is a sci-fi action-adventure steeped in mystery that is set to be the studio’s first original franchise in eight years. Giving off Death Stranding vibes from the opening trailer, players will find themselves located on a near-future dystopian world on the moon and will experience a “profound story” with visuals that are designed to take advantage of next-gen hardware. Little else is known about the exciting project – it definitely has our attention, though.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Two Spideys for the price of one? Oh, Insomniac, you are too good to us. That’s right after the major success of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the sequel will have players acting as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they square off against Kraven the Hunter and Venom. Black Spidey suit incoming!
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 in 2023.
There you have it. 12 monumentally exciting games that will no doubt (barring delays) help 2023 become one of the best years in video game history. We knew you’d be convinced.
