Daring escapades in faraway realms, bone-chilling horror in space, and innovative indie adventures are all on the menu for 2023. While it always feels like the previous year’s game release calendar can never be one-upped by the coming one, we’re continually proven wrong. This year looks to be stocked with some amazing titles we can’t wait to get our hands on.
If you want to keep a weather eye out for some of your most anticipated game launches this year or simply wish to be kept abreast of delays, recent reviews, and new game announcements, then you’ve come to the perfect place. We here at TheGamer aim to keep you well-informed of the coming video game releases of 2023. Check back for updates!
Updated December 9, 2022: Yep. We have two of these to keep track of now, at least for the month of December. Then we can shed our old release dates calendar and settle firmly into this one. With 2022 wrapping up, we have our eyes fixed on 2023 and what this new year will bring. And if the industry has taught us anything, it’s that 2023 will bring us games. Lots and lots of games.
This Week’s Highlights
January 2023 Games
The Dead Space remake comes out in January. Is there any other reason to be excited about this month? Holy moly, Forspoken is set to launch this month too, as is Fire Emblem Engage. 2023 is off to one hell of a strong start based on these three games alone.

March 2023 Games
We’ve been waiting years for news of the Resident Evil 4 remake, so what’s a few months? We only have to wait a measly couple of months into 2023 before we can revisit Leon Kennedy’s infamous trip to Spain. Not only that, but PC players will be able to dive into the visual splendor of The Last of Us Part 1, and the Star Wars fandom can unite in anticipation of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

April 2023 Games
After several delays, Dead Island 2 is set to release in April. Footage of the game looks pretty good, and so far, this is the shining star release of this month. But given the intriguing trailers for Meet Your Maker, we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the underdog winner of April 2023!

May 2023 Games
It’s here. The big one. The one we’ve all been waiting for. May brings with it one of the most highly anticipated games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was almost unanimously everyone’s game of the year, so it awaits to be seen if Tears of the Kingdom will be 2023’s. We’ve also got Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launching this month, so that’s two big ones for May.
