It's sure to be the blockbuster gaming event of the summer, and I'm looking forward to immersing myself in yet another breathtaking fantasy world from the imaginative minds at Square Enix. It's the first mainline title to receive a Mature rating, and its trailers have drawn comparisons to Game of Thrones, but with the series' memorable monster summons taking center stage.

Square Enix Final Fantasy XVI features intense magical duels.įinal Fantasy XVI could be a return to form for the franchise while also taking the storied RPG series to new heights. James Mastromarino, Join the Game editor and Here & Now producer The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (May 12) It's sure to be gorgeous and gorey - and I hope it preserves the campy spirit of the original voice-acting too. I fell head over heels for the series' trademark schlock and mayhem over the pandemic - and I look forward to seeing the beloved Resident Evil 4 get the meticulous remake treatment that so improved Residents Evil 2 and 3. Give me more force powers! -James Delahoussaye, TED Radio Hour Producer Resident Evil 4 (March 24) The combat and exploration didn't quite hit the highs of the games that clearly inspired it ( Dark Souls and Uncharted), but Fallen Order laid a promising foundation for Survivor to build on. Plus, there will be co-op! - Justin Lucas, Director, Communications and Audience Relations Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (March 17)Ģ019's Fallen Order offered a great cast and story. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's trailer includes a nod to FromSoft's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and will likely build off of the Team Ninja's own Nioh titles (which may not have been GOTY material, but were very enjoyable). The success of Elden Ring will probably put wind behind other studios' Souls-like titles and I'm here for it. James Delahoussaye, TED Radio Hour Producer Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (March 3) If Call of the Wild can make you "feel" like you're in Horizon's robot dinosaur-filled world, then maybe PSVR2's $550 price tag might just be worth it. Horizon Call of the Mountain is a launch title for Playstation's VR 2, a headset that promises to go toe-to-toe with beefy hardware like the Valve Index. Sony Interactive Entertainment Horizon Call of the Mountain gives you a first-person view of its hulking dinosaur-robots.

With visual enhancements and other quality of life improvements, I can only hope this remake of Isaac Clarke's harrowing journey lives up to the original. Andy Bickerton, Senior Digital Analyst Dead Space (January 27)ĭead Space upped the game for space survival horror all the way back in 2008. Long story short, Forspoken has a lot going for it, and if it all comes together, I'll have a great time playing it. Amy Hennig, one of the main writers, lead the 150-person team behind the legendary Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Forspoken also gathered formidable writing and soundtrack talent, including Bear McCreary, who just won Best Score and Music at The Game Awards for God of War Ragnarök. It's developed by Luminous Productions, which was assembled from the team that worked on Final Fantasy XV - a game I loved for its beautiful environments, snappy gameplay, and overall charm. It's been a long time since Square Enix debuted a brand new IP, and I'm hoping Forspoken will bring a fresh twist to the action RPG genre. James Mastromarino, Join the Game editor and Here & Now producer Forspoken (January 24th) This entry looks more brash and candy-colored, but if it delivers the tactical depth and quality cast I'm hoping for, I'll be well-engaged indeed. I played Fire Emblem: Three Houses twice all the way through, savoring each character's dialogue and obsessively tracking their relationships with each other. Here are the games our staff most look forward to, in order of when they (should) come out. But that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild follow-up isn't the only massive title delayed by the pandemic to have a credible release date in the coming months. 2023 would be a notable year for video games on the strength of a Tears of the Kingdom release alone.
