2023 is shaping up to be one of the best years for gaming in ages. From Tears of the Kingdom to Diablo IV to Street Fighter 6, it's already been a pretty great year, with quite a few big-budget releases coming later this year

  • Final Fantasy XVI (June 22)

  • Pikmin IV (July 21)

  • Counter Strike 2 (Summer - Exact date unknown)

  • Armored Core VI (August 25)

  • Baldur's Gate 3 (August 31)

  • Starfield (September 6)

  • Mortal Kombat 1 (September 19)

  • Party Animals (September 20)

  • Assassin's Creed Mirage (October 12)

  • Lords of the Fallen (October 13)

Or maybe something else! What are you hyped for?

I totally forgot this was announced and now I can't wait

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same, I got back into Hades recently because I just can't wait for this.

Ever since I watched the presentation about Starfield, I've been absolutely eager to see if it's really as good as it comes across in the presentation. I am a long-time Assassins Creed player and of course I am looking forward to the new Assassins Creed. I hope that the story has a bit more content again and above all that everything is more historical and less magical. But I'm actually looking forward to the Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 the most. Despite all the justified criticism of Cyberpunk 2077, the game captivated me immensely and I had a lot of fun playing it.

Silksong is coming out some day, probably.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Surely this year... Surely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Haunted Chocolatier for me... The same guy who made Stardew Valley is making a new game. I look forward to it more than I am looking forward to Starfield.

City Skylines 2! The trailer looked good and they are including more in the base then CS1, plus it seems they have responded to some feedback on cars and including parking for the amount in the game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I knew I was forgetting something important in the post, thanks for reminding me that we have a release date for it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Talos principle 2. The first one was amazing. It's also kind of funny to me that croteam pretty much only made boomer shooters, and then threw out one of the most philosophical puzzle games I've ever played. It's like if after the transformer movies, Michael Bay decided to make 2001 a space odyssey, and then went back to making mindless transformers movies.

I'm waiting for

  • Cyberpunk 2077 DLC
  • Cities Skylines 2
  • Kerbal Space Program 2 (1.0 release)

But before that I need to buy a new computer. Mine's too weak.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Assassins Creed! Love the series

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't played some of the recent games, but I liked the old format and look forward to Mirage's take on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Armored core 6! I've been waiting ages for a new installment. I'm so hyped for it that I took some vacation days for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Super excited for Elden Ring and Cyberpunk DLC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Path of exile 2 if it comes out this year. As well as life by you to finally give a sims competitor.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Life by You looked pretty rough last time they showed it, I hope they've polished it up a lot since then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

FFXVI, Armored Core 6, Starfield (after that presentation, was highly skeptical before), Mortal Kombat 1, Alan Wake 2, and Spider-Man 2.

I think all of them look great. FFXVI is my most anticipated overall. Ever since it was revealed in 2020 I've been sold on that game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Armored Core 6 is the only thing on my mind.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Dare I say Silksong? The first game was perfect in so many ways, I’m really excited to see in what ways the improve and build on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely Armored Core! And then the Cyberpunk dlc, when Im done with Armored Core

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm excited for Homeworld 3

[–] Bongoo117 1 points 1 year ago

Starfield got me hyped, but I can't wait to play Like a Dragon: Gaiden in November!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That sequel to terratech that was recently announced looks interesting. Cities skylines 2 is a maybe for me, I liked the first one but never got that far into it. Armored core also is a maybe, I played AC2 a lot as a kid so I have a certain amount of nostalgia for it, but at the same time it's a bit different from the games I like to play these days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not many for me as I've been off gaming for a while.

Star Trek Infinite.

Gord.

Manor Lords.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Manor Lords looks soooo good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The demo was great fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Starfield is on my list. No pre-order here. AAA don't have the best track record these days ;) CS2 - Loved the first one. Excite for this release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were ones that I always enjoyed trying to play when I was younger, but never seemed to be able to survive for more than a few minutes. So I’d give up in frustration. Maybe I should give them another go before 3 comes out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can get both of them for your phone for a few bucks as well. That's how I played them for the first time and had a blast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

Which unfortunately gets released shortly after Starfield. I need to clone myself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think I could give an answer I wouldn't walk back on later, I'm just happy to see such an interesting and competitive year for the industry. Really hope this trend continues.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for Manor Lords.

Well I can wait because I think it'll be great after the demo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Starfield and BG3 - I doubt Starfield will run on my PC though, and there's still awful GPU and CPU shortages in Europe :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Number 1 for me are the Duke Nukem Collections for Evercade coming in November.

I played tons of duke3d as a kid so I'm excited to revisit it. But even more, I never got a chance to play the original DOS side-scrollers, so I'm pumped to get the new remastered versions. Even cooler that they're the first Evercade exclusives.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm really hyped for Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 really liked the first one and hope the second is just as good or maybe better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cities: Skylines II. But I am very cautious. All the recent games I looked forward to were disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The new Hellblade and the Cyberpunk DLC most of all. Talos Principle will be interesting at well even though I didn't finish the first one, something got in the way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Great list. And the first Talos principle was great (DLC less so). Also the ending had a great build up to the end, but the actual end cutscene was a little meh.
