Releasing on: PS5 and PS4
Release date: February 18
“There’s no depth I won’t explore, no secret I won’t unlock,” says Aloy, in the breath-taking announcement trailer for the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. The first recreation was considered one of the highlights of the PS4, boasting a luscious world the place the future and the previous collide in a spectacularly distinctive method, and introducing a protagonist (aka Aloy) that we hope sticks round for many years to come.
In Horizon Forbidden West, we take management of Aloy as soon as once more – this time, exploring a publish-apocalyptic western United States. Horizon Forbidden West appears to construct on the formulation of its predecessor, whereas including new machines to take down (together with large robotic snakes), beautiful new environments, and new characters to encounter (hopefully most of these are pleasant).

Elden Ring
Releasing on: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox SeriesX/S and Xbox One
Release date: February 25
Developer FromSoftware seems to be persevering with its run of notoriously tough motion RPGs – or Souls-likes, as ubiquitous as the time period is now – with Elden Ring. Set in the fantasy realm of the Lands Between, gamers will hack, slash, dodge, and completely time their method by the realm with the hopes of changing into the Elden Lord.
If that appeared like uninteresting and customary fantasy fare, concern not. George R.R. Martin, the trendy-day bard himself, has co-written the story. After his world-constructing prowess in A Song of Ice and Fire, we all know we’re in secure palms. There’s an opportunity, too, that his title will encourage loads of non-players to soar into Elden Ring.
While we love to see everybody and anybody enjoying games, a phrase of warning for individuals who are maybe much less seasoned players: Elden Ring isn’t going to be simple. FromSoftware’s titles are notoriously difficult and, for some, that merely isn’t to their tastes – and that’s okay. But, what we’d say is, if FromSoftware’s earlier title Sekiro is something to go by, that problem signifies that each enemy you do take down, and each inch that you just progress, is exceptionally rewarding (maybe more so than in some other recreation)
Starfield
Releasing on: PC and Xbox Series X/S
Release date: November 11
It may be laborious to imagine that Bethesda is releasing a new RPG exterior of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, however right here we’re. Described by director Todd Howard as “Skyrim in space”, Starfield appears to keep on Bethesda’s custom of expansive motion RPGs, this time constructing a model new world amongst the stars (moderately than the Khajiits)
Initially, we have been simply relieved it wasn’t one other Skyrim rerelease. Starfield’s trailer, nonetheless – launched at E3 2021 – reveals that this actually is one thing to be enthusiastic about. Exploration has all the time been an enormous theme in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, and Starfield appears to be taking that to one other dimension. Quite actually. The trailer reveals an astronaut boarding his rocket, about to enterprise into the ultimate frontier.
We don’t know rather a lot about the gameplay but, however we’re praying for house battles. Either method, if it’s something like Bethesda’s earlier IPs, we’re in for floor-breaking stuff.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human
Releasing on: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One
Release date: February 4
It wouldn’t be a real 12 months of gaming with out a minimum of one zombie-slayer, and the sequel to 2015’s Dying Light appears to be our savior.
Set 20 years after the first recreation, Dying Light 2 sees you enjoying as Aiden Caldwell, an contaminated survivor, as he tries to unearth the secrets and techniques of his previous and find his sister amidst a ruthless, decaying world. Aiden’s search leads him to The City (the final remaining human settlement), the place it’s then up to the participant whether or not our protagonist focuses on his personal aim or decides to assist remaining survivors by rebuilding the settlement. Dying Light 2 has a deal with selection and consequence, along with your selections affecting the setting round you – in addition to the story itself.
The unique Dying Light took the parkour of Mirror’s Edge, blended it with a zombie shoot-‘em-up, and added a day-and-night variation system to boot. From what we’ve seen (and performed) of Dying Light 2, the sequel has turned this up to 11 with a bigger emphasis on stealth, parkour, and tweaked tools to traverse the setting (like gliders, pulleys, and new swinging hooks). With a map 4 occasions as massive as the first, affected by NPCs, aspect quests and challenges, Dying Light 2 is is unquestionably a recreation to keep watch over.
Breath of the Wild 2
Releasing on: Nintendo Switch
Release date: 2023 (TBC)
We couldn’t miss the recreation that gained “Most Anticipated Nintendo Game” at E3 2021: the (at the moment untitled) sequel to 2017’s Breath of the Wild. The first installment was itself an enormous occasion in gaming historical past, so it’s simple to see why everybody’s so impatient to get their palms on the observe-up. Only two trailers have been launched since 2019, which is a tease for these of us determined to return for a new journey in Hyrule.
Breath of the Wild 2 (as we’re calling it) was introduced in 2019, but there’s nonetheless so little we learn about it exterior of the snippets we’ve gleaned from the trailers thus far. We know that it’s a direct sequel, so it’s the similar Link and Zelda from Breath of the Wild, and the similar story is continuous. The two trailers have additionally revealed considerably darker themes, enigmatically displaying Link consumed by Malice, and (hopefully) Zelda as a playable character.
We additionally know that, in accordance to the series director, Eiji Aonuma, the improvement workforce has been strongly influenced by Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 – we’ll depart you to speculate on that one (though we doubt there will probably be lots of gunplay). However it seems, although, we’re fairly certain that the sequel to considered one of the biggest Zelda games – and certainly, games – of all time, is one thing to look out for in 2023.
