One Piece Odyssey
One Piece Odyssey is the newest entry in the One Piece franchise. It will be available on Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PS5. Toei Animation and Bandai Namco produce the game. While the game has some flaws, it’s got some impressive visuals.
It’s a turn-based RPG. Each party member has an individual skill set. Some characters even utilize magic powers to boost their combat prowess. In addition to the battle, players can go at their own pace.
A demo version is set to hit Xbox and PlayStation consoles on January 10, 2023. The main storyline will be available as a free update on January 12. Those who don’t want to wait for the full release can try out the free demo. This is the newest One Piece game, so there’s a lot of hype surrounding it.
Unlike its predecessor, this one isn’t all about killing enemies. There are lots of exploration abilities to try out, too. From the Gum Gum Rocket grapple to the most impressively designed characters, there’s no shortage of options.
Although it’s not out yet, there are some pretty solid rumors about when this new entry into the One Piece franchise will launch. It’s a game to watch in the future.
Persona 3 Portable
If you are a fan of the Persona franchise, you may be excited to know that Persona 3 Portable is coming to modern gaming platforms in 2023. This is the first game in the series to introduce new ideas and innovations. It also will be available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
The Persona franchise is one of the best RPGs of all time. It blends immersive storytelling with dynamic gameplay, making it impossible to put down.
As part of the 25th anniversary of the Persona franchise, Atlus recently announced two upcoming games: Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. Both will release on January 19, 2023.
Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will be released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. They will be available for a price of $20 each.
In addition, Atlus has also released a new trailer for Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. The trailer offers a quick overview of each game’s story and systems. You will see Phantom Thief Morgana from Persona 5 and footage from in-game cutscenes.
Despite the announcement of these games, Atlus has yet to announce whether they will be released as a sequel to Persona 3. However, more of the series may be added to the Megaten subscription model.
Forspoken
If you have been keeping track of the latest game releases, you will undoubtedly have heard of Square Enix’s upcoming fantasy RPG Forspoken. In a new open-world adventure, Forspoken follows Frey Holland as she goes on a quest to discover and master her magical powers.
A sweeping narrative-driven adventure, Forspoken will follow Frey as she travels the mysterious and dangerous land of Asia. With a neo-noir setting, a magically immersive environment, and an enticing battle system, Forspoken has all the makings of a great game.
Delays have plagued the game’s development, and its release date has been shifted multiple times. Despite this, the game remains one of the most anticipated in the coming year.
A team of talented writers and developers has been working on Forspoken. Former Uncharted developers Amy Hennig and Todd Stashwick are among the writers, and Gary Whitta conceived the game’s original concept. Another writer on the project is Allison Rymer.
A free-running “parkour” moment system plays a significant role in the game, as does a diverse range of spells. The combat system uses precision attacks and stamina-based movement skills.
The game’s original release window was set for May 2022, but it was pushed back several times before finally settling on January 24, 2023. While this delay may seem like a downfall, it could prove to be a blessing in disguise. By adding time to the production schedule, Luminous Productions can add more polish and refinement to the game.
NBA All-World
NBA All-World is an augmented reality basketball game developed by Niantic, a company that’s become a big hit with its wildly popular mobile game, Pokemon Go. The All-World game, the first officially licensed NBA mobile title, is set to arrive in the 2022-2023 season.
For starters, the NBA All-World game uses the “real-world metaverse,” a term that is a fusion of the natural world and computer animation. It will place you in a virtual world where you can recruit NBA ballers, play mini-games, and win trophies while playing the game.
You’ll also be able to compete against local players. This will be done by navigating through a map and looking for Drop Zones, which will contain gear to improve your game.
In addition to the game itself, Niantic has partnered with the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) to provide players with access to exclusive video content. These include mini-games and a sneaker drop.
Of course, you’ll need a good Internet connection to run the game smoothly. Also, you’ll need to provide the appropriate location information. Some real-world parks will even replace the competition sites, giving you a chance to get in on some foot traffic.
Dead Space
The original Dead Space, released in 2008, helped revive the horror genre. The series was one of the breakout hits of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 eras. It featured a believable HUD, immersive gameplay, and no loading screens.
Dead Space is being rebuilt for modern hardware. It’s been said to make use of super-quick SSDs on newer consoles.
Dead Space is expected to be a significant hit in 2023. As of now, it’s been announced for the Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PC. According to EA, it’s due to hit shelves in early 2023.
It’s likely to be a hit, given the recent surge in popularity of the survival horror genre. EA and Motive have cited the Resident Evil 2 remake as a catalyst for their revamp.
Although the Dead Space Remake will be hitting shelves sometime in the first month of 2023, fans can pre-order now. A physical collector’s edition of the game will also be available.
Other features included in the Dead Space Remake are five cosmetic items and three different suits. There needs to be a word on whether or not players will be able to bring their Necromorphs with them.
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a remastered version of the classic PC strategy game released in 1999. The game is receiving new content and improvements and is expected to be released on consoles during 2023.
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is a cult favorite among fans and modders, but the game is also viral among competitive players. There have been more than 14,000 mods created for the game. As such, there has been a continuous stream of updates to the game, including several new campaigns and units.
Microsoft recently announced that Age of Empires IV would arrive on Xbox consoles later this year. It will be available via Xbox Game Pass. Also, it will be playable on a keyboard and mouse.
This upcoming game will feature a new seven-player PvP/PvE mode. There will also be cross-platform play with other versions of the game.
Age of Empires has been one of the most popular RTS series for a long time. With the announcement of the upcoming Xbox Game Pass and the cross-platform support for PC and Xbox players, the game is poised for another big release.
However, the game’s PC version has yet to receive controller support. The team is hard at work adapting the game to work with a mouse and keyboard. A tutorial for the game will help accustom players to control the game with their keyboard.
Colossal Cave
One of the most popular adventure games of the 70s is about to get a lot bigger. Colossal Cave is being reimagined and made into a fully 3D and immersive virtual reality experience. Legendary gaming pioneer Roberta Williams is heading the remake.
As the remake progresses, players will uncover a network of spooky caves. They will also encounter woodland dwellers, snakes, bears, trolls, and more. There are several different characters to meet and many challenging puzzles to solve.
Players will begin the game in a wooden cabin. They will explore the caves, solve puzzles, and find the treasure. It’s an action-packed adventure game for all ages.
Colossal Cave is an upcoming game that launches on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC. It was initially announced for the Switch in August, but the release date has since been delayed to January 2023.
Fans of the original text-based adventure game can expect this reimagination to have plenty of challenging puzzles and exciting characters. Former Sierra Entertainment developers are developing this remake.
Colossal Cave is already known to millions of gamers worldwide. This version will bring the game world to the modern era.
