I’ve awoken from my sliced ham and prosecco-induced vacation slumber and am able to acknowledge (with solely somewhat little bit of a tremor) that we’re in a brand new 12 months. New 12 months, new me? No. Spiral ham and prosecco remind me that it’s okay for some issues to at all times stay the identical. New 12 months, new set of online game launch dates? You wager.
Final 12 months’s sport bulletins helped me accumulate an ocean’s price of dates and titles to share in a complete checklist, however since we’re so early into 2023—and extra eternally, as a result of even cautious plans get delayed—you’ll discover that some precise dates or titles are lacking, and even may find yourself altering.
This checklist will get refreshed as we get deeper into the 12 months and study extra precise dates and I study extra about iPads, as a separate facet mission. Studios can e-mail me with bulletins at abardhan@kotaku.com for potential inclusion on this checklist, too. Within the meantime, right here’s each sport it’s important to sit up for in 2023.
