I have awoken from my sliced ham and prosecco-induced holiday slumber and am ready to acknowledge (with only a little bit of a tremor) that we are in a new year. New year, new me? No. Spiral ham and prosecco remind me that it’s okay for some things to always remain the same. New year, new set of video game release dates? You bet.
Last year’s game announcements helped me collect an ocean’s worth of dates and titles to share in a comprehensive list, but since we are so early into 2023—and more eternally, because even careful plans get delayed—you’ll notice that some exact dates or titles are missing, or even might end up changing.
This list will get refreshed as we get deeper into the year and learn more exact dates and I learn more about iPads, as a separate side project. Studios can email me with announcements at abardhan@kotaku.com for potential inclusion in this list, too. In the meantime, here’s every game you have to look forward to in 2023.
What games are coming out in 2023?
A lot.
