Fire Emblem Engage
Nintendo kicks off a busy start to the year with Fire Emblem Engage on January 20. The Switch exclusive introduces an all-new protagonist to the series in the red-and-blue-haired Alear. This latest mainline Fire Emblem allows players to summon, or “engage,” heroes from the series' past, including original protagonist and Smash Bros. staple Marth. When a past hero is engaged, Alear inherits their weapons and skills. Engage follows 2019’s excellent Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which earned a 9.5...
Forspoken
Following two delays in 2022, Forspoken is finally set to hit PS5 and PC on January 24. The new action RPG from Square Enix is worth keeping an eye on for several reasons, chief among them being its all-star writing team of Rogue One’s Gary Whitta, Uncharted’s Amy Hennig and Todd Stashwick (Uncharted), and Shadowhunters’ Allison Rymer. Forspoken’s isekainarrative concept sees protagonist Frey transported from modern-day New York City into Athia, a fantastical world of magic and deep mythology...
Dead Space
2023’s Dead Space is a ground-up remake of the 2008 survival horror classic. It’s fully rebuilt in EA's Frostbite engine with “all new assets, new character models, [and] new environments” based on the original designs. It’s still Dead Space at its core, though the team at EA Motive is keeping things fresh by introducing new systems such as Peeling, which allows players to shoot additional flesh, tendons, and bones off of Necromorphs. It’s both a visual treat for gorehounds and a clever healt...
Hogwarts Legacy
One of the most anticipated games of 2021 (and then 2022) is now one of 2023’s biggest third-party releases. Following two years of delays, Hogwarts Legacy is set to launch on February 10, fulfilling Harry Potter fans’ long-held wishes to live out their own Wizarding World fantasy. Players create a custom character and choose their desired house before beginning the game as fifth-year students at Hogwarts. The open-world RPG sets you behind your classmates, meaning you’ll have to complete que...
Wild Hearts
Wild Hearts is EA’s answer to Monster Hunter, an all-new game in which players hunt and craft across a fantastical semi-open world inspired by Feudal Japan. For Wild Hearts, EA partnered with Japanese development studio Omega Force, best known for its action series Dynasty Warriors. IGN went hands-on with Wild Heartsin October and, thanks to its challenging hunting, beautiful environments, and snappy building mechanics, we came away thinking it’s a legitimate Monster Hunter contender.
Atomic Heart
Excitement for Atomic Heart has grown considerably since it was announced four years ago, thanks to a steady stream of increasingly bizarre, sci-fi-heavy trailers showcasing a Soviet-set, BioShock-like first-person shooter. Atomic Heart has the potential to be one of 2023’s biggest sleeper hits. Whether that potential is fulfilled is another question entirely, though early impressions are promising: our first hands-on Atomic Heart previewcalled it “an engrossing world to get lost in, with dyn...
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the next action game from genre experts Team Ninja, the studio behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden. Wo Long is described as a soulslike set in a dark fantasy version of China’s Three Kingdoms period. In true soulslike fashion, Team Ninja promises Wo Long will be "an extremely challenging and demanding game." Where Wo Long differs from many soulslikes is in the breakneck speed of its combat, which we called “fantastic” in our Wo Long preview.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
Following the release of Bayonetta 3 in 2022, Nintendo and PlatinumGames are once again teaming up for a storybook-inspired prequel called Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. You’ll control both Cereza before she became known as Bayonetta and the titular Lost Demon Cheshire on a fully narrated quest to save Cereza’s mother.
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Spooky season comes early next year as, following Dead Space in January and Sons of the Forest in February, Capcom will release its ground-up remake of Resident Evil 4 in March. RE 4 Remake follows Capcom’s recent reimaginings of Resident Evil 2 and 3, retaining the original game’s foundational elements while adding updated gameplay and a visual update. The story also has been “reconstructed” to account for the series’ narrative progression over the last 17 years. The original 2005 Resident E...
Minecraft Legends
Following the success of Minecraft Dungeons in 2020, Microsoft and Mojang will release another Minecraft spinoff in 2023. Called Minecraft Legends, this latest spinoff is an action-strategy game that seeks to combine reasonably deep RTS mechanics with the brand’s family-friendly approachability.
Dead Island 2
Following an eight-year development journey across three different studios, Dead Island 2 will finally see the light of day in 2023. It may be hard to believe but given the amount of gameplay shown toward the end of 2022, it appears Dead Island 2 will actuallybe released on April 28. Based on those videos, Dead Island 2 will give you countless gruesome, gory ways to slice, dice, mash, and smash the undead.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to Respawn Entertainment’s Jedi: Fallen Order set five years later. The game continues the story of a more mature and more rugged Cal Kestis, who remains on the run as the Empire’s most-wanted fugitive. Expectations are high for Survivor, as its predecessor is the second best-selling Star Wars game of all time in the U.S. and number two on IGN’s list of the best soulslike games.
Redfall
Redfall is the first of two highly anticipated Bethesda games due out in 2023. It’s an open-world vampire shooter from Prey developer Arkane Austin that sets you and up to three friends loose in the quaint island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, where vampires, human cultists, and ‘twisted’ vampire gods run loose. Arkane says Redfall shares the same creative values as its past games, including narrative-rich spaces and immersive movement, though on a bigger scale: the developer said just one s...
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Among the dozens of big games due out in 2023, none is bigger than The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo’s follow-up to what IGN crowned the best game of all time. Nintendo has been careful not to show too much of Tears of the Kingdom, perhaps in an effort to preserve that same sense of awe and wonder that made Breath of the Wild so special. What Nintendo has shown is an expanded traversal system that sees Link exploring the lands of Hyrule and the vast skies above it. We can’t...
System Shock Remake
Another genre-defining game being remade for 2023 is System Shock, the 1994 first-person action-adventure game that inspired the likes of BioShock and Deus Ex. System Shock puts you in orbit around Saturn aboard the Citadel Station. You play as a nameless hacker attempting to shut down a rogue, maniacal AI named SHODAN who’s overtaken the station. After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016, we finally got hands-on with the remake in 2022 and came away impressed by its “haunting sci-fi at...
Street Fighter 6
Street Fighter 6, the series’ first new entry since 2016, introduces a robust character creatorfor its World Tour mode, allowing your custom fighter to take on Street Fighter legends and master their moves. Among the 18 fighters at launch are series staples Ken, Ryu, and Chun-Li, as well as newcomers Jamie and Kimberly. Those skeptical about Street Fighter 6 following the many troubles of its predecessor have good reason to be optimistic: IGN’s fighting-game expert Mitchell Saltzman called St...
Diablo 4
Blizzard’s legendary action-RPG series returns in 2023 with Diablo 4, the series’ first-ever crack at an open world. Diablo 4 taps back into the franchise’s darker roots with a story centered around the big bad Lilith. Former game director Luis Barriga described it as gothic, medieval, and "a bleak and shattered hellscape bereft of hope and beset by demons." After 12 hours with Diablo 4, we said it’s “absolutely crammed with story, content, beauty, character customization, and so much more.”...
Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 16 is one of the year’s biggest third-party games and takes the series to Valisthea, a fantastical land set against the backdrop of medieval Europe. FF16 trades in the open world of its predecessor for area-based design akin to semi-open-world games like Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Producer Naoki Yoshidasays this decision was made to give “players a better feel of [the game’s] truly global scale." Players control protagonist Clive Rosfield through real-time, fast-paced combat, whil...
Ark 2
Ark 2 builds on the survival gameplay of its hit sandbox survival predecessor with soulslike third-person melee combat and an expanded story led by Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel, who also serves as Studio Wildcard’s President of Creative Convergence on the project. Ark 2 makes improvements to getting around with the ability to mantle, free-climb, slide, swing, and yes, ride dinosaurs through its primeval world.
Hades 2
Hades 2, the sequel to IGN’s 2020 Game of the Year, hits Early Access sometime in 2023. In Hades you play as Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld; in the sequel you’ll play as his sister, Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld. Like its predecessor, Hades 2 is an action-heavy roguelike with an emphasis on replayability. It further explores the Greek mythology developed in the original while weaving in “its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft,” according to developer Supergiant Games. It’s a...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Along its long road to release, STALKER 2 has been canceled, re-revealed, delayed twice, and now, 13 years later, the finish line is in sight. Some developers at Ukraine-based GSC World were forced to work in cramped spaces due to the threat of bombings from Russian invaders, while others stepped away from the development to join the Ukrainian defense forces. It’s an extraordinary behind-the-scenes story and we’re hopeful the end result will be fruitful for the development team and gamers ali...
