Can't remember a slate so poor across platforms. This is when we really see the effects of COVID on development studios. The games we were getting so far were most likely already a long way into development when the pandemic hit. But launch of new projects seem to have been stalled. This may push publishers to delay some 2022 games to 2023.

If a $200M movie can be made during lockdown with the VFX done from home, so can games.

 

[Camreezie]

Way too early to make that call , the hype cycle for 2022 is only halfway through

 

[Fare thee well]

Don't you guys have phones?!?!?

So many mobile game choices.

 

[Bonfires Down]

wat. We probably don't even know half the games slated for 2023 yet.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Spider-man 2, Pragmata, Black Myth: Wukong and Alan Wake 2 are coming in 2023 and probably some other big games like Star Wars KOTOR remake. It's too early to predict, we'll start seeing more next year

 

[SLB1904]

dont worry a lot of things from 2022 will be delayed to 2023

 

[ManaByte]

Don't forget Silent Hill from Hasan and Kojima in 2023.

Source?

We just had an award show that showed many many games with no release dates so they are likely all 2023 titles.

 

[Lupin25]

So why would 2023 be slow, if you believe there maybe many delays in 2022?

I think the opposite. 2023 is when current-get will gain momentum.

 

[T8SC]

It's all we need.

 

[ckaneo]

Funny that you think everyone will hit that 2022 date

 

[Leo9]

According to Grubb:

 

[prinz_valium]

According to Grubb:

Half will make it, the other half won't

 

[Yoboman]

Developers / publushers rarely ever announce release dates so far away

There's not a lot of games announced for 2023 because we are over a year away from 2023 still

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't worry, that'll be the year of Dragon's Dogma 2.

Wait until next E3, I guess we should get some 2023 game announcements there.

 

[Topfuel]

Zelda BOTW 2 (maybe december 2022?), Metroid 4, Mario title?, Alan Wake 2, Wonder Woman (Monolith), Spider Man 2, MS titles (listed above), etc. Loads of good stuff.

 

[Warnen]

Show u most of the 2022 releases will slip to 2023

 

[TheDrunkenMerchant]

Alan Wake II for 2023. I'm good.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

2026 is looking good though. Final Fantasy Remake part 2… sign me up!

 

[Mr Hyde]

Gonna play Elden Ring for the next 5 years so

 

[kingpotato]

If you think 2023 is bad wait until you see what the 2077 release schedule looks like.

 

[22:22:22]

Don't really care. Huge backlog anyways. And Halo, Elden Ring and Gran Turismo 7 are soon here. With that said I tend to play slow and takes brakes between games so not really and issue for me personally.

 

[Atanascovich]

Change to nft games, play and profit. I already quit my job. Best time to enter,so many projects

 

[adamsapple]

I just hope Starfield doesn´t get delayed. Meeting first-set release dates is a rarer and rarer thing these days.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Dont forget Fifa 24

 

[Drizzlehell]

People were saying the same thing about 2021 last year and we got a ton of new, interesting games. It's like listening to your uncle bitch about football during brunch every year.

 

[VN1X]

If you think 2023 will be rough wait until you see what 2024 will have in store for us!

 

[Barakov]

Not too worried about it. 2022 hasn't even started yet.

 

[skit_data]

Too early to know, I’d say. Many games haven’t been announced yet.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Huh?

After 2021, every year is going feel like riches.

 

[Y0ssarian]

According to Grubb:

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Unfortunately this.

 

[Plantoid]

Half will make it, the other half won't

Even if only half makes it it's still a strong year

 

[NikuNashi]

I'm more worried about 2031 so far there are NO games scheduled for release yet, very worrying.

 

[Shifty1897]

I'm completely over this whole "games can't be made like usual during COVID" line. If you want to argue that games couldn't be made at the same pace originally because the company didn't have an IT infrastructure that supported remote work, fine, but it's been nearly two years, if you still can't output to pre-COVID levels by now, that's a failure to manage.

 

[CitizenZ]

They better hope they can get pass 2022 before thinking about 2023.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Putting a year in the casket before it’s even here…

 

[Dream-Knife]

Perfect Dark should be out by then. Plus I imagine Nintendo's next console will come out with a good launch year.

Next few years will probably be pretty bad in general though. I imagine a bunch of woke games will be coming out as that was really big the last few years. Probably won't be until 2025 when that fad ends.

 

[anthony2690]

I feel like this gen has been amazing myself.

Games I picked up this:
Halo infinite
Deaths door

Forza Horizon 5
Mass effect legendary edition(specifically mass effect 2)
Hitman 3
Guardians of the galaxy (yet to start it, doing infinite first)
Resident Evil: Village
Lost Judgment
Melty Blood
Deathsmiles Collection (16th December)
Sonic colours
Castlevania advance collection
Scott Pilgrim
Outriders

2022: (games I am interested in)
Tunic
Elden Ring
Redfall
Starfield
Gotham Knights
Suicide Squad
Hogwarts Legacy
Sonic Frontiers
Stalker 2
Dying Light 2
Plague Tale: Requiem
Warhammer 40K: Dark tide
Crossfire X (campaign)


Other notable games others are interested in:
Horizon forbidden west
Sifu

God of war 2
GT7
Stranger of paradise: FF (very unsure on this one)
Tiny Tina game

I can imagine 2023 will be packed too.

& I'm sure there is plenty more that will get revealed at e3/summer game fest that will pleasantly surprise us.

& I'm sure I've missed out plenty of games I've enjoyed this year and looking forward too. XD

According to Grubb:

Jesus, I'm going to struggle to even fit in all the first party titles I want to play, let alone third party titles at this rate :l

 

[ULTROS!]

To be frank, this was also a kinda slow year for new games and mostly HD remasters and ports for me, these are the games that I got:

- Shin Megami Tensei III HD Remaster
- SaGa Frontier Remastered
- Legend of Mana Remastered
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (still a port though)
- Nier Replicant
- Sonic Colors
- Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
- Corpse Party
- The Immortal
- Castlevania Advance Collection
- ActRaiser (granted this is more of a remake)
- Alan Wake
- The Great Ace Attorney Collection
- Doki Doki Literature Club +
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
- Scott Pilgrim vs The World

The brand new retail games that I got were Ys IX, Persona 5 Strikers, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Tales of Arise.

 

[fermcr]

Mark my words. Star Citizen will release in 2023...

LOL. I can't even say this with a straight face.

 

[Batiman]

The halo ring will be expanded with many biomes by then

 

[ReBurn]

When you see how many 2022 games will be delayed to 2023 you'll feel better.

 

[TheGodfather07]

how is it "set"? we have no idea what 2023 looks like. it isnt even 2022 yet!

 

[TexMex]

We don’t even know half of what’s coming in 22, you have no idea what 23 will look like.

 

[remember_spinal]

I feel like all the big 2022 games haven’t even been announced yet.

Sony and nintendo haven’t even announced anything past this summer.

 

[ACESHIGH]

lots of 2023 games will be announced during 2022. No worries.
