Eyes To The Future - 2023 Video Games Edition




It has come to my attention that I have never done a Year In Preview post for Video Games. So... I need to!

So here is the FIRST Eyes To The Future for Video Games. Keep in mind that all of these dates are subject change. And some have yet to have an announced release date.

Ready?

Persona 3 Portable - Jan 19th: Being re-released for Modern Consoles, Persona 3 was my first Persona game, which means I have special connection to this one.

Persona 4 The Golden - Jan 19th: Just like P3P, this is a re-release for Modern Consoles. I'm excited for both P3P and P4G.

Spongebob Squarepants The Cosmic Shake - Jan 23rd: Spongbob and Bubble-Patrick traversing through portals. Plenty of Bikini Bottom Platforming. And the last SpongeBob game I played was pretty damned good.

Forspoken - Jan 24th: A Magic spell based open world badassery game from a NEW Studio, made from former programmers and designers from Square Enix that worked on Final Fantasy 15. It'll be awesome! Hopefully!

Hogwart's Legacy - Feb 10th: An Almost Free choice single player RPG in the Harry Potter Universe? Yes I want to play it.

Kirby's Return To Dreamland Deluxe - Feb 24th: Yet another Re-Release from the Wii/Wii-U era, but I really love Kirby! And they are adding a new copy ability to it! I can't wait.

Octopath Traveler 2 - Feb 24th: Octopath Traveler was a unique story driven turn based RPG. Pick any one of the 8 Characters as a main, and experience all 8 stories, or as many as you want to. A sequel is deserved.

Skull and Bones - Mar 9th: Pirates... pirating. With pirates.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor - Mar 17th: Sequel to Jedi Fallen Order, which was AMAZING. The Star Wars action oriented games are always top shelf.

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Mar 24th: RE4 is finally getting the Remake treatment. And RE4 was my favorite of the series. Now... make Ashley get OUT OF THE GODDAMNED WAY!!!!

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - Apr 14th: The portable Grid Based RPG series is getting the Legacy Collection Treatment! I've only played the first 2 games in the series, but I love Mega Man almost as much as Kirby. So... of course I'm getting it.

The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom - May 12th: Sequel to Breath Of The Wild, my favorite current Switch game. This is my most anticipated game for 2023.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League - May 26th: Rocksteady is putting out this Suicide Squad gane in the Arkham Universe. And it is Kevin Conroy's finally voice work as Batman. I'm in.

Street Fighter 6 - Jun 2nd: I love the Street Fighter series. But it took me a bit to get a feel for SF5. This one looks amazing. So we will see how this one works out.

Diablo 4 - Jun 6th: The 4th Installment of one of my favorite franchises. After fixing the Marketplace BS, 3 became my favorite in the series, with the Nephalem Rifts being some of the most fun I've had in Diablo. So... don't let me down.

Final Fantasy 16 - Jun 22nd: The First M Rated Final Fantasy game. Are we getting too realistic? I admit, FF15 was wonky to me. Open world without being open world? But gave me one of my favorite FF boss battles in fighting that GIANT ADAMANTOISE! I'm ready for this one.

TBA Release Dates
AEW Fight Forever: AEW will finally put out their first video game. And to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of their wrestling product so far. But... they are going through Jakks for this game, highlighting bring back some of the simulation that I loved in the N64 titles, like No Mercy. We will see how it works out. Plus... Owen Hart will be in it.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: The Second Part of the FF7 Remake series. I'm excited to see what changes in this installment. And I hope we get Vincent in this one.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection: Being released for Switch and Playstation, Square Enix is putting out this collection in the Spring. The first 6 Final Fantasy games in one collection. Including my favorite game in the ENTIRE franchise, Final Fantasy V! I'm in.

Spider-Man 2: Sequel to Sony's VERY succesful and AMAZING Spider-Man game. More Miles Morales... and it looks like Venom is playing a huge part. I just hope he is playable!!!

Robocop Rogue City: A 1st Person shooter when you get to play AS Robocop! That sounds so cool to me! So of course I'm going to attempt this one.

WWE 2K23: While this hasn't been 100% announced, we already know it is coming. And 2K22 was a HUGE improvement over 2K20. I wonder what the odds are that we get a Cody Rhodes special edition?

There you go everyone. My first ever preview post for Video Games. Is there one I should add? Any you are looking forward to?

Comment and share this thing!

Until next time...
