2023 Looks Like It Will Be A Great Year For Video Games – Maybe We Should Hope It Isn’t
Back in December, I wrote that 2022 was going to be a banner year for video games. We had Breath of the Wild 2, we had Starfield, we had Redfall, we had Kill the Justice League, we had Kerbal Space Program 2, we had Homeworld 3, we had Replaced, and we had Stalker 2. Now all of those games belong to 2023. We still have Elden Ring ready and waiting to sweep the end of year awards, and interesting indies will always be around (Venba and Immortality feel like the two to watch from Tribeca), but the back end of what was meant to be a very meaty year now looks desiccated. Gotham Knights and Hogwarts Legacy now have to shoulder way more weight than Warner Bros. games are expected to, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet might not get the usual pass other Pokemon titles get, and God of War Ragnarok still has no launch date. Leaks point to September, but they also point to October. And November. December has been mentioned too. And the heffleteenth and Julember.
