December has always been the month of balance sheets, in which the sums of the year that is about to end are drawn up. Not only though: December is also the month of expectations, from that famous gym that we will (not) start in January to good resolutions for the new year. And this also applies to video game enthusiasts who, calendar in hand, count the days waiting for the release of the various titles, including breathtaking trailers for what could be the future games of the year. We therefore decided to draw up a list of the most anticipated games coming out in 2023.
Last year, just these days, we published a list of the most anticipated titles of 2022. A list that, looking back, has certainly met our expectations (at least in part). Games like God of War Ragnarok, Elden Ring, and Horizon Forbidden West, for example, racked up prizes in a landslide. However, not all expectations have been met (remember how much waiting for Pokémon Arceus?). To find out if it will be the same for this list, we will have to wait for next December. But now it’s time to put your hand to the calendar and hope: here are the most anticipated games of 2023.
