The year 2023 has already set in. While most people are back to their routine lifestyle, video gamers still have a lot to watch out for. Unlike last year, 2023 is full of new video game releases that will keep gamers busy. Many video game companies have already delayed releasing sequels but that wait is finally coming to an end this year.

Let’s take a quick look at the 5 most anticipated video games of 2023.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Developed by UbiSoft Bordeaux, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be the thirteenth major instalment in the Assassin’s Creed series. The recent games in the series like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Odyssey shifted the series into the action-RPG segment, but UbiSoft has decided to opt for a back-to-the-basics approach focusing purely on stealth action gameplay. UbiSoft is known for its funny and terrifying game bugs for which it received a backlash from the gaming community especially for Assassin’s Creed Unity. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set in Baghdad and has a younger central character. The game will be released for PS4 and PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S and Amazon Luna. However, the exact date of the release is yet to be announced.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Probably one of the most anticipated games in its category, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is arriving in May 2023. The launch trailer has already garnered a lot of attention and the game has already won the Golden Joystick Awards for the Most Wanted Game. This action-adventure video game is a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, Nintendo has made certain tweaks and upgrades enabling gamers to explore the islands in the sky using a new suite of weapons and abilities. While the trailer didn’t reveal much about the story the gameplay will surely have more action, more suites and exploration opportunities for the gamers.

Diablo 4

While Diablo 4 was announced in 2019, Blizzard Entertainment announced the launch of the game in June 2023. This action roleplay game takes players through the world of Sanctuary where they need to go through combat and quests and obtain stronger equipment to beat difficult enemies. While on the surface, Diablo 4 looks like having minor edits but overall there are new additions that make the gameplay more immersive than any of the previous games.

Hogwarts Legacy

The fans of the Wizarding World have all the reasons to rejoice this year as Avalanche Software is all set to release Hogwarts Legacy in 2023. While the game has already been under some controversy but gamers believe that this could be one of the best wizarding fantasy roleplay games that would allow them to make decisions and take the gameplay in any direction. With 100 side quests, Hogwarts Legacy allows the player to manipulate the main storyline and various missions. The game is all set to release in February 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. In April 2023, PS4 and Xbox One versions will be released.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will take the gameplay ahead from Batman: Arkham Knight. Also, it will be the first in the series to not feature Batman as the main protagonist. The gameplay is designed to play solo but also has the four-player cooperative multiplayer mode. In this version, the squad will leave Gotham City and head towards Metropolis, Superman’s home ground and on a mission to kill DC’s most famous superheroes. The newer version will have more equipment, suites and a better environment to offer better action. The game is all set to be released in May 2023 and will launch on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X.
