2023's gaming calendar has shaped up to be something of a banger, and the hits just keep coming! A litany of promising AAA properties spanning franchise reboots, hotly anticipated newcomers, and high-profile sequels has already set the tone pretty aptly, and more release dates are dotting the schedule on a near-weekly basis. Even VR enthusiasts are getting their own personal treasure trove this year, with the PSVR 2 hitting shelves in late February. It's going to be an exciting year, folks.
And if you're looking to keep up with the inevitable release date shuffle that every year brings, then you're in the right place. DualShockers stays on top of what's coming when, and we'll be updating this calendar regularly to keep you well aware of when the apple of your eye is gonna drop from the gaming tree.
Updated on August 25, 2023, by Shivam Gulati and CJ Kuzdal: This week saw several big and exciting announcements, thanks to Gamescom 2023. Several new titles were announced, and of course, much-anticipated titles like Alan Wake 2, Ghostunner 2, etc. finally got official release dates.
January 2023 Release Dates
2023 unabashedly kicks off with a buffet catered to anime and JRPG fans, then keeps horror aficionados holding their breath for the entirety of the month with the hotly anticipated remake of Dead Space. Let's hope it lands a bit better than Callisto Protocol did.
