2022 was a great year for gaming, with major titles like Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West coming to the PlayStation 5. But don’t worry: 2023 seems just as promising! Here are best new upcoming PlayStation 5 games you cannot miss.
Disclaimer: The Chant and The Day Before was removed from this list.
#68 Schim
Developer: Ewoud van der Werf
Publisher: Extra Nice
Platforms: PC PS4 Xbox One PS5 Switch
Release: TBA 2023
SCHiM is an upcoming puzzle game with a bit of a twist. In this game, players take the role of a little critter that must make its way around the world. However, the twist here is that the player can only move around within the shadows. This means waiting for a moving object to come by that will cast out a shadow. Or using whatever shadows are laid out across the way to reach a new area. It’s certainly a new abstract-style game that will catch your eye. Unfortunately, at the moment, we’re still waiting for a release date to land on this title.
#67 Dune Awakening
Developer: Funcom
Publisher: Funcom
Platforms: PC PS5 XSX|S
Release: TBA 2023
Dune Awakening is an upcoming MMO survival game. Players will get tossed onto the planet of Arrakis, where they’ll need to brave the harsh world for resources. Players will build up shelters, fight off all sorts of hostile monsters and seek out Spice. With Spice being crucial to allow space travel, it’s a hot commodity to hunt for. Although with the dangers that lurk on the planet and the fierce competition to acquire Spice, you can expect an uphill battle. Fortunately, you can create a guild and rise up against other factions seeking to create economic dominance on the planet. With no specific date attached to Dune Awakening, this is one game to keep tabs on as we progress through 2023.
#66 Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
Developer: FromSoftware
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Platforms: PC PS4 Xbox One PS5 XSX|S
Release: TBA 2023
I don’t think very many people were expecting a return to Armored Core, but that’s what we’re getting. Surprisingly it looks like FromSoftware is bringing out a new installment with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. We don’t have any gameplay footage at the time of writing this description. But the developers are looking to make this game like past installments. It won’t be a new take on the franchise with a feel of being a Soulsborne. Instead, we’re getting a traditional mech vehicular combat game. From what we know so far, this title will follow a battle between corporations as they duke it out for a new valuable resource found on the planet of Rubicon 3. However, with the star system engulfed in flames, it will be a tricky operation that only gets more difficult when other competitors roll into the area. Likewise, we know this will be a standalone story, so there is no need to go back to previous games. Although, it does sound like we’ll get a more robust system for customizing our mechs which may be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.
#65 Remnant II
Developer: Gunfire Games
Publisher: Gearbox Publishing
Platforms: PC PS5 XSX|S
Release: 2023
If you enjoyed Remnant: From The Ashes, you will want to keep tabs on Remnant II. This new installment was one of the games revealed during The Game Awards 2022, and with it came a small trailer. Unfortunately, the details are brief at the time of writing this description. From what we know, players are once tossed into a chaotic world filled with enemies to battle against. We’re told there are branching quest lines as well, so it would seem that you might have some replay value. Likewise, if you’re a fan of the first game, then you can enjoy the sequel with cooperative multiplayer support. We’re waiting to hear more about what we can expect when we once again look to save humanity from destruction, along with when we’ll be able to dive into Remnant II, as it has yet to receive a release date.
#64 Tchia
Developer: Awaceb
Publisher: Awaceb
Platforms: PC PS5 PS4
Release: 2023
Tchia is an upcoming action-adventure title that follows a young girl. When her father gets kidnapped, Tchia sets out to rescue him. Fortunately, our brave protagonist has a power that will make her journey a bit easier. Players will find Tchia possesses the ability of soul jumping. This will allow the protagonist to jump into different animals and even inanimate objects. By jumping into these different animals or objects, Tchia will have a new means to solve puzzles or even defend herself from the hostilities of the world. For instance, players can take to the skies as a bird, dig for treasures beneath the surface as a dog, or simply roll down hills as an old vehicle tire.
#63 Wild Hearts
Developer: Omega Force / Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Electronic Arts Inc.
Platforms: PC PS5 XSX|S
Release: February 17, 2023
A new IP might interest you if you enjoy games like Monster Hunter. Wild Hearts is a game that puts players against massive monsters known as the Kemono. Here you’ll use the Karakuri, a technology that allows players to craft up new weapons and traps in their aid to take down the Kemono. Like Monster Hunter, players will craft gear such as armor and weapons to take down even more fearsome beasts that roam the world. Likewise, we know that this game can be played either solo or with the aid of a friend. How it holds up to its biggest franchise competitor remains to be seen, but we should see Wild Hearts head into the marketplace this February.
#62 Wanted Dead
Developer: Soleil
Publisher: 110 Industries
Platforms: PC PS4 Xbox One PS5 XSX|S
Release: February 14, 2023
If you’re after a new hack-and-slash action title, you may want to check into Wanted: Dead. This is a cyberpunk-style game where you’re following an elite Hong Kong police squad. Known as a zombie unit, this group is after any major corporate conspiracies. Players will get to use various weapons as they mow down enemies, whether that’s using firearms or swords. Likewise, this game comes from the team that brought out titles like Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. So you can expect plenty of flashy action-packed combat. At the moment, it looks like we’ll be able to get our hands on Wanted: Dead within February of this year.
#61 Season: A Letter to the Future
Developer: Scavengers Studio
Publisher: Scavengers Studio
Platforms: PC PS4 PS5
Release: January 31, 2023
Season: A Letter to the Future is an adventure game that puts players into the role of a young woman venturing off from her secluded village. Taking on the world armed with just her bicycle, our protagonist’s goal is to record the world. Collect memories, meet new people and uncover the world around you. It’s all to mark down before a cataclysm takes everything away. If you want an emotional journey that’s heavy on a narrative-focused adventure, then this will be one game you won’t want to miss out on.
#60 Octopath Traveller II
Developer: Square Enix Acquire
Publisher: Square Enix
Platforms: PC PS4 PS5 Switch
Release: February 24, 2023
The sequel to the hit game by Team Asana, Octopath Traveller II, will put you in a fresh world with eight new protagonists with journeys to enjoy.
You’ll once again be able to take on the journeys of these eight at the pace you desire. So pick wherever you want to start and see where it leads you! Just as important, there are “Crossed Path” storylines where two characters meet for a unique experience!
The first game’s deep combat returns, too, with new abilities and features to help you conquer enemies! If you’re a fan of JRPGs, you won’t want to miss out on this title!
#59 Crash Team Rumble
Developer: Toys for Bob
Publisher: Activision Blizzard
Platforms: PS4 Xbox One PS5 XSX|S
Release: TBA 2023
Are you ready to play Crash Bandicoot and his friends in another wacky adventure? If so, you’ll want to get Crash Team Rumble. The game is a 4v4 battle title that has you doing things differently than you’d expect.
After you assemble your team of four, you’ll head out into the battlefield and attempt to get as much Wumpa Fruit as possible! If you get more than your opponent, you win!
But beware! You’ll need to defend your stash to keep foes away from it, and head into enemy territory to screw with their supply! Will you be able to win with your friends?
#58 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Developer: Gun Interactive
- Publisher: Sumo Digital
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
Described as “a game based on true events,” The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a new game built upon the foundations of one of cinema’s most notorious stories. The game is based upon the classic movie from 1974 and allows players to take on the role of one of the heinous Slaughter family themselves, or of one of their victims. The game is a third-person horror adventure with an asymmetrical style of gameplay that will test players’ skills of both survival and determination. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre looks pretty terrifying but also highly exciting for fans of the beloved horror franchise. If escaping the demented grasp of Leatherface is your thing, or if you fancy a go on the iconic chainsaw yourself, then this game should push all your buttons when it comes out next year.
#57 Demeo
- Developer: Resolution Games
- Publisher: Resolution Games
- Platforms: PSVR 2, PC
- Release date: 2023
Demeo has already come out for many of you, but for those on the PS5 and the upcoming PS VR 2, you’ll have to wait until 2023 to get it. But when you do get it, you’ll be in for a real treat.
For in this game, you’ll be able to go on a digital tabletop RPG adventure! One where you’ll have to choose your character class and then use them throughout the adventures that you go on. You’ll get to play with friends to form a party in order to take on the dangers of the realm and whatever monsters await you at your journey’s end.
The game’s content is constantly growing and evolving, and so by the time it makes its way onto PS5 and PS VR 2 next year? You’ll arguably have the best version of the title.
#56 Star Wars: Tales from Galaxy Edge Enhanced Edition
- Developer: ILMxLAB
- Publisher: ILMxLAB
- Platforms: PC, PSVR2
- Release date: 2023 (PSVR2)
A more surprising reveal was that of Star Wars: Tales from Galaxy Edge, a VR title that is set in the galaxy far, far away that is Star Wars.
You won’t be a “noble warrior” though when you start the game, you’ll be a droid technician. You’ll be attacked by pirates soon enough and have to take the fight to them and others while you work with fan-favorite characters C-3PO and R2-D2!
You’ll take on missions, make alliances, fight deadly enemies, and more, all so you can call yourself a hero by the time the game is done. Plus, there’s even extra content planned via “Last Call”, giving you even more to do.
#55 Aliens Dark Descent
- Developer: Tindalos Interactive
- Publisher: Focus Entertainment
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2022, Aliens: Dark Descent is the latest project starring the most popular alien in gaming. Unlike Alien: Isolation, you won’t have to hide from a bloodthirsty alien by checking your radar compulsively. Aliens: Dark Descent features aliens, plural.
According to the reveal trailer, players control a squad of Marines fighting off waves of aliens. The exact gameplay of Aliens: Dark Descent is still a mystery, but it does look like a fast-paced coop FPS whose goal is to empty your clips on creepy monsters.
#54 The Valiant
- Developer: Kite Games
- Publisher: THQ Nordic
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
Set in 13th century Europe and the Middle East, The Valiant takes players on an adventure that encompasses themes of medieval brotherhood and redemption. As a real-time strategy game that focuses on commanding squads, players will get to experience intense action as an ex-knight of the crusades who finds himself being drawn back to the horrors of war he swore to leave behind. The game encourages players to build and develop their squads in order to locate a missing set of precious relics throughout the main single-player campaign. The Valiant also has a cooperative “last man standing” mode for three players to take part in, facing off against hordes of enemies with increasing waves of difficulty. This will be a great game for those looking forward to an epic medieval-era adventure, especially if RTS games are their thing.
#53 Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
- Developer: CD Projekt Red
- Publisher: CD Projekt Red
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t had the best of runs since its launch back in December of 2020. In fact, it’s almost two years since its arrival and yet the game is still not 100% fixed. However, CD Projekt Red isn’t going to give up on the content that it wants to make for the title. As proven by the reveal of the Phantom Liberty DLC.
The teaser for it shows V signing on with the “New United States of America”, and going on a mission for them as a result. But Johnny Silverhand thinks that this is a “bad idea”. You’ll have to see which side is right when the DLC comes out in 2023.
#52 Like a Dragon Ishin
- Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio
- Publisher: Sega
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
- Release date: 2023
The Yakuza series has come in many forms over the years, and the fanbase has long loved it for that. But, there was a title that has loomed in the background that was “lost” to time, and they’ve been begging for it to come back. Now, it’s finally happening.
Like a Dragon Ishin will take the legendary Yakuza characters and put them out of their element by going to the 1860s in a fictional version of Kyoto, Japan. Here, you’ll embody a familiar face, but with a different story. One of a man who is determined to take Japan out of its Shogunate state and lead it to a new era!
Will you be “like a dragon” and ensure it happens?
#51 Octopath Traveler 2
- Publisher: Square Enix
- Developer: Square Enix
- Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4
- Released: 2023
The original Octopath Traveler title helped set the stage for all the 2.5 HD titles that have come since. So it’s only fitting that the game that started it all would get a true sequel.
Octopath Traveler 2 will take place in a new world, and will feature 8 new characters with 8 very different stories to tell. From a dancer wanting to bring joy to the world, to a scholar seeking vengeance on the man who ruined his life, to a cleric trying to find her lost memories, all will be told here.
What’s more, the game is promising not only even more refined graphics, but more interaction between the 8 heroes than we got in the first game. Add that to a familiar yet fun battle system and Octopath Traveler 2 must be on your wishlist when it arrives next February.
#50 Atomic Heart
- Developer: Mundfish
- Publisher: Mundfish
- Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
- Release: 2023
Atomic Heart is an upcoming FPS set in an alternative 1955 timeline. Here the Soviet Union is thriving with technological advances. Players are stepping into the role of a mentally-unstable KGB agent called P-3. Here, the government tasks P-3 to figure out what’s going on with a facility that recently went quiet. Upon arrival, you’ll deal with machines that have gone rogue. You’ll need to gather whatever scraps you’ll find along the way to tweak your weapons further to fight against these enemies, all while scavenging for clues of what happened before your arrival.
#49 Dead Island 2
- Developer: Dambuster Studios
- Publisher: Deep Silver
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5
- Release date: February 3, 2023
Yep, it’s true! Dead Island is alive once again! The game was revealed once more at Gamescom and it honestly has a release date of February 2023. So that means we technically don’t have too long to wait until you can play it!
As for the gameplay itself, that wasn’t shown in the return trailer. But, there were a lot of zombies shown, as well as the new setting of the game with a very chill protagonist. Given how the first game was, you can likely expect a lot of violence and a lot of weapons that you can use to try and get the zombies to go away.
#48 Atlas Fallen
- Developer: Deck13 Interactive
- Publisher: Focus Entertainment
- Platforms: PC
- Release: 2023
The world of Atlas Fallen is one where the gods have corrupted everything, and as a result, it’s up to humanity to rise back up and challenge the paradigm, and give humanity the ability to do everything themselves again.
You’ll be given great abilities in Atlas Fallen. As you’ll have to use both the powers of the sand of your world, as well as the essence of the enemies you defeat in order to grow stronger. The combat is said to be truly powerful in the grandest of ways. So test it out to see how it works!
Whether you take on the task of redeeming the world yourself, or ask a friend to lend a hand to defeat monsters, your grand journey awaits you!
#47 Lords of the Fallen 2
- Developer: Hexworks
- Publisher: CI Games
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
An action RPG and sequel to the original Lords of the Fallen game, Lords of the Fallen 2 takes place in an epic medieval world of fantasy, where a fallen god rules with a rod of iron. The game will make use of dark fantasy in both its aesthetics and in its storytelling, which aims to build on the previous game’s popularity. Lords of the Fallen 2 will also make use of a revised and more challenging system of combat, which may see the game stick to the previous title’s soulslike format, although as yet this is unconfirmed. With the popularity of games like Elden Ring seeing a big payoff after choosing to adopt this style of gameplay, it could be that fans of challenging difficulty levels will get a real kick out of Lords of the Fallen 2 when it launches.
#46 System Shock Remake
- Developer: Nightdive Studios
- Publisher: Prime Matter
- Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
A fully rebuilt reimagining of the classic System Shock game from 1994, the System Shock remake has been highly anticipated by the gaming community for the past few years. Players will find themselves trapped in space aboard the Citadel Station, which finds itself beset by a rogue AI known as SHODAN. The AI’s influence stretches across the space station, corrupting and mutating systems and former crew members into cyborgs, which players will have to fend off it they’re to have any hope of survival. Throw into the fray a whole host of robots and other mutated beings and the adventure’s challenge level kicks up a gear almost instantly. There are high expectations for the System Shock remake, which looks as though it could be a huge hit with lovers of the sci-fi genre when it launches in 2023.
#45 Path of Exile 2
- Developer: Grinding Gear Games
- Publisher: Grinding Gear Games
- Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
Path of Exile 2 will be an online-only adventure that will be available as an update that’ll be playable in tandem with the original Path of Exile campaign. The game will consist of a seven-act storyline that effectively works as a second act to the original game. As an action RPG, Path of Exile 2 will introduce a variety of new content into the game, such as brand new weapons, a reworked and newly-designed skill gem system and a number of new ascendancy classes that players can choose from. Path of Exile 2 looks set to revamp the original game and breathe fresh life into a well-loved action RPG with a visual overhaul as well as exciting new gameplay systems and elements.
#44 Hyenas
- Release date: 2023
- Developer: Creative Assembly
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5
- Publishers: Sega, SEGA of America
Hyenas is a brand new multiplayer sci-fi FPS coming out in 2023. In this game, Earth is ruined and the rich are now living on Mars. The rest of the population fights for scraps on a giant orbiting slum.
The billionaires are looking for pop-culture artifacts salvaged from the ruins of Earth, which are now priceless. A bunch of talented robbers called Hyenas team up to steal those goods before Mars’ elite can get their hands on them. Players control one of these robbers to fight in zero-G situations and steal some precious merch. Each Hyena has their own abilities and fighting style.
#43 ARC Raiders
- Developer: Embark Studios
- Publisher: Embark Studios
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
ARC Raiders is an upcoming free-to-play co-op shooter, where the action takes place in third-person mode as opposed to many of the popular FPS-style shooter games. Set in a ravaged world under threat from an otherworldly, mechanised onslaught from space known as ARC, the game pits players against the destructive powers of the robotic invaders. Co-op gameplay is a must in this title, although there’s also plenty of opportunity for exploration, scavenging and gear customisation as you fend off the sky-based threat that continually falls upon you and your squad. ARC Raiders looks like a great game for those who enjoy online multiplayer action in a futuristic setting.
#42 Exoprimal
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
Exoprimal is a PvPvE FPS mixing futuristic exosuits and dinosaurs. An artificial intelligence called Leviathan is threatening the world. Your goal is to find a way to destroy it by slashing countless dinosaurs on your way, from T-Rex to Triceratops and Raptors.
The main game mode of Exoprimal pits two teams of five players as they need to slay dinos and complete various objectives. Players can select an exosuit for these missions, each having its own perks, whether to tank, heal, or blow everything up. If dinosaurs are the obvious main enemies to defeat in Exoprimal, beware of other players as well as the game features PvP battles.
#41 Destiny 2 Lightfall
- Developer: Bungie
- Publisher: Bungie
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
- Release date: February 28, 2023
If you’ve been waiting for the next big piece of DLC in Destiny 2, well, the wait will be over next year, as Destiny 2 Lightfall will be arriving next February, and it’s promising quite a bit.
Not the least of which is a Cyberpunk-style city that is set on Neptune of all places. What’s more, Calus is back as a villain, and that means that it’s truly time to start off the final part of the “light versus dark” saga that Destiny has been building up for quite some time now.
There are other aspects here too that’ll get players excited, including new subclasses, the new city to explore, and more. But just how good it’ll be will depend on how it is when it launches in 2023.
#40 I, the Inquisitor
- Developer: The Dust
- Publisher: The Dust
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC
- Release: TBA 2023
I, the Inquisitor is an exciting-looking adventure game set in a truly dark and interesting fantasy world. The story centres on an alternative version of history, in which Jesus didn’t actually die during his crucifixion. Instead, he reacted with fury after returning to life as a wrathful god, determined to enact revenge on his persecutors. From there, centuries’ worth of his inquisitors continued to violently enforce faith upon non-believers, thus creating a dark and tyrannical world of biblical rule. In I, the Inquisitor, players will take on the role of one of these inquisitors during the 1500s, in an adventure that’s sure to be packed with ethical dilemmas and challenging moral decisions. This looks like a game with plenty of exploration, combat and excellent choice-and-consequence-based storytelling.
#39 Pragmata
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
Pragmata is Capcom’s take on sci-fi, Kojima-esque action-adventure games. It is set in a dystopian near-future and the reveal trailer left us with more questions than answers.
The trailer shows someone in what looks like a spacesuit, walking down the streets of an empty New York City. Then a little girl appears, then a holographic cat, and then… Reality seems to shatter, a satellite falls down from the sky, and the trio ends up on the Moon. Pragmata seems like quite a unique experience, but we will have to wait a little longer to find out what it is truly about.
#38 Stray Blade
- Developer: Point Blank Games
- Publisher: 505 Games
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
Stray Blade is an action RPG with intense combat and lots of exploration. You play as an adventurer that found Acrea the Lost Valley, a mysterious place that legends say holds many powers. But unfortunately, just as you found this miraculous land, you die.
Time passes and you are brought back to life. It is now up to you to discover the mysteries of the Valley of Acrea with your new faithful companion, a Xhinnon wolf called Boji. On top of exploring the valley and unveiling its mysteries, you will have to fight various enemies, invest points in your talent tree, and restore peace to this war-torn place.
#37 Gothic 1 Remake
- Publisher: THQ Nordic
- Release date: TBA
- Developers: Alkimia Interactive, THQ
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows
In 2001, German studio Piranha Bytes released Gothic, an action RPG set in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, orcs, and secrets. Reviews ranked this game as one of the best RPGs of 2001, but over 20 years later, other big games like Skyrim or The Witcher 3 consigned Gothic to oblivion.
In late 2019, THQ Nordic teased a remake of Gothic. This remake is now a reality, as the publisher recently revealed that Gothic is making a comeback in 2023. This game will be a faithful remake of the 2001’s Gothic, following the same story but with a modernized combat system.
#36 Abandoned
- Developer: Blue Box Game Studios
- Publisher: Blue Box Game Studios
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: TBA
Abandoned is quite of a mystery. This upcoming survival horror game was announced back in April 2021, with a trailer that led many fans to believe Hideo Kojima was involved with this game. Blue Box Game Studios denied these allegations but the hype was already here.
The game follows the story of Jason Longfield, a man who wakes up in the forest after being kidnapped. He doesn’t know what happened to him, why he was kidnapped, or what he is doing in that forest. He finds out he was brought here for a “dark purpose,” and needs to fight for his survival.
#35 The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2 Retribution
- Developer: Skydance Interactive
- Publisher: Skydance Interactive
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, the VR survival horror FPS filled with zombies, gets a new chapter in 2023. It continues the story introduced in the original 2020 chapter, where the undead flooded the ruins of New Orleans.
In The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2 Retribution, you are hunted by the Axeman, a foe who wants to chop you to bits. On top of that bad guy, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2 Retribution features plenty of zombies to slay, an even bigger New Orleans to explore by day and night, and a new faction of survivors to meet.
#34 Tekken 8
- Developer: Bandai Namco Studios
- Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
- Release date: TBA
The Tekken franchise is one of the longest-running, and most endearing, fighting game franchises out there, and for good reason. The series is known for its brutal fighting system, fun characters, and a fierceness about it that puts it above other franchises.
Tekken 7 is widely hailed as the best in the line because of not only its story, but the overall focus on gameplay and customization to make sure everyone enjoyed it. Now, Tekken 8 must try to top it, and the reveal trailer showed that things are picking up right where they left off. Jin and Kazuya are at it once more, and the game looks beautiful.
#33 Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes
- Developer: Rabbit & Bear Studios
- Publisher: 505 Games
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows
- Release date: 2023
Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes is the latest entry in the Eiyuden Chronicles series. This new JRPG is a collaboration between Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden I & II) and Junko Kawano (Suikoden I & IV). It takes place in Allraan, a continent housing several nations and cultures. One of these nations edged out the others and discovered a powerful technology that amplifies magic.
As for most JRPGs, the story is key to Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. The game also offers a vast world to explore, from bustling towns to creepy caves.

As a remake of the iconic stealth shooter from 2002, the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell remake has a lot to live up to. With that in mind, it’s good to know that Ubisoft Toronto is essentially building the game from the ground up in a fully-fledged remake, using the same state-of-the-art technology it’s using to develop Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Fans of the original game will be excited to see the game retain its roots in stealth mechanics, as well as keep the same linear structure of the original Splinter Cell. This won’t be a massive Ubisoft-style open-world adventure, but will instead focus on the core tenets of gameplay that made the original Splinter Cell so popular. The game will also bring protagonist Sam Fisher back into action, which will certainly delight those who enjoyed his combat and espionage skills back in the early 2000s.

The game has its own story and is as big as the single-player games from the series.

Besides knowing that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place five years after the previous adventures of Cal, we don’t have much information about the game.
