Despite mixed initial reactions to Street Fighter 5, the game's core mechanics were highly praised, providing a solid foundation for the sequel to build upon. Also releasing in early June is Amnesia: The Bunker, the next entry in Frictional Games' popular first-person horror series, set during World War 1.
Just a few days later, Blizzard Entertainment is set to launch Diablo 4, which is sure to be one of the most popular action RPGs of 2023. Its open beta gave players a taste of what's to come from this highly anticipated project. RPG fans will have even more to look forward to in June, with the release of The Elder Scrolls Online's Necrom expansion.

In July 2023, gamers can look forward to a few exciting releases, albeit niche ones. Fans of JRPGs will be delighted with The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, the latest entry in Nihon Falcom's beloved franchise. While the game was released in Japan in 2020, it promises to deliver quality writing and world-building that the series is known for. Gust will also release a remake of the first Atelier game, which is a welcome update as the original title is difficult to revisit in this day and age.
Another highly anticipated release is Exoprimal, Capcom's online-driven shooter that pits players against massive armies of dinosaurs. However, it will face tough competition from EA's Immortals of Aveum, a magic-based shooter that focuses on a single-player experience. Fans of survival roguelikes can also look forward to Ed-0: Zombie Uprising, which has a unique concept of samurai/ninja/sumo fighters battling hordes of the undead.
Overall, July 2023 may not have a lot of mainstream releases, but it offers a variety of niche games that cater to different tastes.
Some of the most highly anticipated games currently in the works have not yet announced a specific release date for 2023. Among them are Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Dune Awakening, both of which are expected to be major titles upon their release later this year.
In addition to the highly anticipated titles like AEW Fight Forever and Alan Wake 2, there are a number of niche projects that hold great potential. The Wolf Among Us 2, Bloodlines 2, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Ghostrunner 2 are just a few examples of games to look forward to in 2023. However, there are also a number of major games that either have no release year or are set to debut after 2023, including some highly anticipated titles like The Wolf Among Us 2, Quantum Error, and Synduality.
As many games take years to develop, there are numerous projects that are currently under development but have not yet announced a release date. Although it is possible that some of these titles may be released in 2023, the developers have not given any indication of this being the case.
Some of the highly anticipated games that are currently in development include Death Stranding 2, Slitterhead, Assassin's Creed Infinity, and Beyond Good and Evil 2. These titles are expected to generate a lot of excitement once they are released, but it is likely that they are still a few years away from completion. While there is a possibility that they could be announced in 2022, nothing is certain at this point.
In addition to these titles, there are several other major games that are also in development, such as Kingdom Hearts 4, Grand Theft Auto 6, Judas, and The Elder Scrolls 6. Fans of these franchises are eagerly anticipating any news regarding their release dates, but for now, all we can do is wait and see what the future holds.
