2022 was a much calmer year for video games than everyone anticipated, despite a few blockbuster blockbusters and brilliant indies. Many of the most anticipated games of the year were ultimately postponed until 2023 as creators struggled with difficult workplace circumstances, lockdowns, and other difficulties as a result of the coronavirus pandemic's lingering effects.
While that resulted in a relatively quiet year for huge games, it also raised the profile of 2023, which is now crammed with important releases from the top video game studios in the world. Here are all the big games that are presently scheduled to release in 2023 as a taste of what's to come:
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Forspoken
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Wild Hearts
- Skull and Bones

Fire Emblem Engage
Release Date: 20 January 2023
Platform(s): Nintendo Switch
Another Fire Emblem game, another year. Over the past several years, this prolific franchise's popularity has skyrocketed, inspiring a number of sequels and spin-offs for Nintendo Switch. The fantastic Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which debuted in 2019, brought a sizable new audience to the long-running game. An alternate reality musou game called Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes was released in 2022. The core series will take the next significant step with the release of Fire Emblem Engage in 2023.
Playing as a bold new hero in Engage, you'll be able to summon and battle alongside legendary Fire Emblem figures like Marth, Roy, Ike, Corrin, and Byleth. You may lead your troops to victory and fight in potentially fatal turn-based battles with the aid of each.
Forspoken
Release Date: 24 January 2023
Platform(s): PlayStation 5, PC
Forspoken is a brand-new IP from Square Enix and Luminous Productions that appears to be competing for blockbuster success. You take on the role of Frey, a young woman from contemporary New York who is taken to a fantastical world where she develops amazing and powerful abilities, in an original fantasy video game. Early screenshots of this game demonstrated fast movement and a multitude of spectacular moves, but the story is what really stands out.
Forspoken is a game that seems really imaginative and unique, despite the fact that we have only actually seen a few tidbits and glimpses of it so far. There is optimism that Frey's story will be as enchanted and lovely as it appears since video games have the ability to portray stories that have a profound impact.
Hogwarts Legacy
Release Date: 10 February 2023
Platform(s): PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC
It's safe to say that there are still people looking forward to this magical, animal-filled adventure. Hogwarts Legacy is the upcoming Wizarding World simulator that many have desired for years. While it may come too late for long-time fans of the franchise, who are slowly coming to terms with the harmful, derogatory comments Harry Potter author J.K . Rowling has been spouting about trans people for years, it's fair to say that there are those who still desire it.
The Harry Potter franchise's greatest elements look to be included into this game, which will likely have a brand-new narrative set in the formerly renowned universe and magnificent magical areas to explore and creatures to befriend. Hogwarts Legacy may still be a magical moment despite its burden.
Wild Hearts
Release Date: 17 February 2023
Platform(s): PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC
The new action-adventure game Wild Hearts, which has larger monster confrontations, new fighting and trapping techniques, and a wealth of gorgeous locations to explore, wants to revolutionise the whole action-adventure genre. Players will go on a perilous trip through the mythical world of Azuma, which was influenced by mediaeval Japan. Every nook and cranny of this world is inhabited by a swarm of "Kemono" creatures.
Although the gameplay will be quite recognisable to fans of Capcom's Monster Hunter series, Wild Hearts appears to be jam-packed with fresh concepts that should spice up your trip and keep you interested in the distant next objective.
Skull and Bones
Release Date: 9 March 2023
Platform (s): PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC
The long-awaited pirate simulator Skull & Bones will finally premiere in March 2023, competing with a strong Q1 cohort. While it raises some questions, this nautical voyage seeks to succeed on its own terms. You'll embark in a Skull & Bones adventure where you'll try to become a cunning pirate and rule the high seas by assembling your ship, crew, and valuables.
Despite the fact that there have been several delays in getting additional information about this adventure, it is still possible that it will release in March 2023. Raise the black flag and prepare to sail.
