A new year means a lot of new games… eventually (pic: Metro.co.uk)
Discover the most accurate video game release dates for 2023, starting this week with… nothing, actually.
Video game release schedules are starting to become more reliable again, after suffering the ravages of the pandemic, and we already know about many of the biggest games due out in 2023, on both the last generation consoles and the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
It’s still wise not to take any release date as a guarantee but big launches early in the year include Fire Emblem Engage, Dead Space, and Hogwarts Legacy. There’s also the PlayStation VR2 in February, as well as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil 4, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom. and more later in the year.
There’ll obviously be many more release dates announced as the year goes on, so we’ll keep updating this schedule at least once a week, usually on a Thursday, if you want to bookmark it for future reference.
