Video games you are looking forward to in 2023 - Is there anything to be excited by?

[Rome's rightful successor]

It's the year 2023 and are there anything anyone at Kwifarms is looking forward to in gaming?

The only thing I could think of is honestly Pikmin 4 and a few small indie games.

What are you looking forward to?

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

The Harry Potter one that's making the troons seethe.

Oh and Zelda.

Oh and Zelda.

It would be very interesting to see how many people will by it and play it.

 

[Action Orange]

I'm hoping that Hollow Knight Silksong comes out this year. Yes, I know that the fanbase is insufferable, but I really, really enjoyed the first one. After that Bloodstained game let me down somewhat, Hollow Knight 1 restored my faith in metroidvania/search action games.

 

[Lone Wandering Courier]

I'm kinda curious on whether Starfield will be as good as Skyrim or Fallout 4, but I'm not going to hype myself up in case it turns out to be a bad game.

 

[Peanut Butter in Peril]

It's been almost 5(?) years since Metroid Prime 4 was announced and all we've heard is that its development was halted and then given to Retro. I'm hoping to hear something about it or at least a port of Metroid Prime Trilogy to the Switch.

 

[Gone Ham]

Stalker 2 is the only game tbh

 

[Wormy]

Would be looking forward to Stalker 2, but got a bad feeling it'll burn down my comp.

Urban Strife, since it's showing a lot of Jagged Alliance 2 in it's DNA.

There's an interesting little brawler called Fading Afternoon too, comes off like a 2d pixel art Yakuza.

 

[Calandrino]

Too many to name ofc, what a time to be alive

 

[Muttley]

in no particular order aside from STALKER 2 being the one I'm probably the most interested in

STALKER 2
Xenonauts 2
Fatal Frame Project Zero
System Shock
Persona 3 Portable
Zeruda because obligatory

Spoiler: honorable mentions

Dead Space rebuild is probably necessary (but I have little interest in it unless it's nearly 1:1 the same)
COH3 maybe? but I have little faith in RTS these days and I was never into the COH / Dawn of War style of RTS, I'm more into like... macro style games like SC:BW or AoE2.
RE4 remake, again maybe (I still like the original just fine, if it's nearly 1:1 I'm in, otherwise no)
New FE game I know nothing about might be good (FE is a crapshoot sometimes)
Octopath Traveler 2
Advanced Wars 1 & 2 unless they are rebalancing it
Hollow Knight 2 <-not really my thing, but it'd be a real shame if it was bad
Pikman 4 <-again not really my thing, but I actually trust that it'll be a great game

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I'm technically interested in a lot of upcoming games but I'm keeping my expectations very low. Through sheer numbers, at least a couple of these have to be good:

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Rise of the Ronin
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Starfield
Pragmata
Resident Evil 4
Final Fantasy XVI
Like a Dragon: Ishin
Stellar Blade
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

There's lots more actually, but just smaller games and random stuff I wishlisted at a glance.

 

[Womble of Wimbledon]

Is Baldur's Gate 3 finally going to be finished? That might be OK. Starfield might be OK. It's sad that this is excited as I can get for new games in 2023.

 

[CuzinEd]

STALKER 2.

Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age if they release it in 2023. They have been working on it for a few years now.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I don't know if they're coming out in 2023 specifically, but Company of Heroes 3 (I really like that it's basically taking Ardennes Assault and massively expanding it, making it more like a theater-based modern Total War) and The Great War: Western Front (also turn-based strategic level with tower-defense like tactical battles).

 

[realitysurf]

I'm kinda curious on whether Starfield will be as good as Skyrim or Fallout 4, but I'm not going to hype myself up in case it turns out to be a bad game.

I hope they actually do base the combat on FTL: Faster Than Light like they said they would. I absolutely loved that game and I would love to see it's spiritual successor.

 

[Troon_Patrol]

The Last of Us Part 1 for PC, not to be confused with the original release, this is an updated version, I never played the last of us and I'm not paying for that tranny part 2, shit .

 

[Local Degenerate]

Zelda
FF7R (Fuck y'all)
Isshin
FFXVI
Disgaea 7
Starbound
Payday 3
Baldurs Gate 3
Sifu on PC

A shit ton of lesser indie shit, like Slay the Princess and Your (sic) Turn to Die, and the Harry Potter game will be a fun ride with the Mrs.

 

[Boss Hawg]

I haven't cared about a game's release since Fallout 4. I was so hyped and sucked into the cult of Todd's lies. It was ok but DID NOT met my expectations. That was a redpill about (((hype))) that I needed.
That being said. I am intrested in Starfield but I'll wait till 3 or 6 months after release to see the response to it.
Also, I don't know if Gran Turismo is coming to PC this year but if it is I'll buy it.

 

[Idiotron]

Alan Wake 2.
The 1st one was one of the last games I really enjoyed before I stopped being a gamor.
It's been 13 years but they finally made a sequel.
I've bought a new PC so it can actually run this game, maybe I'll get it.
I hope they didn't fuck it up.

 

[The Feline Solution]

Ishin, first and foremost, the Yakuza gaiden game after that. Jagged Alliance 3 looks good so far, same as Rogue Trader, gotta see if they make 2023 though. Tons of indie stuff, mostly autistic deckbuilders and turn-based strategy, i have my eye on, too. Darkest Dungeon 2 full release, already spend more than a hundred hours in the EA but told myself i won't touch it anymore until release.

I most likely buy Diablo 4 and will be immensly disapointed again, D3 made me quit vidya as a whole for almost a year. I don't know why i like to suffer. In the same vein, i will definitly be playing PoE 2 but i don't have high hopes for it, regarding the state of PoE in the last two years.

Urban Strife

Got my eye on that, too. Looks great.
