Keep an eye out for announcements at events such as the Xbox-Bethesda Conference, Summer Game Fest, and E3 2023 for even more new game releases!
Number 1. Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game is set in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a fictional British wizarding school featured in the Harry Potter novels and films. It is set in the late 1800s, long before the events of the main Harry Potter story. Players take on the role of a student at Hogwarts, entering in their fifth year of study.
In the game, players are able to customize their own character, choosing their gender, appearance, and even their Hogwarts House. As they progress through the game, players will be able to attend classes, learn spells, and participate in various magical activities. The game also features a branching narrative, with players able to make choices that will affect the story.
Hogwarts Legacy has generated a lot of excitement among Harry Potter fans, who have long been waiting for a full-blown RPG set in the Hogwarts universe. However, the game has also been mired in controversy due to the views and statements of J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. Despite this, many fans are still looking forward to the game’s release and the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the magical world of Hogwarts.
Number 2. Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a single-player action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released in November 2019 and received positive reviews for its gameplay, story, and characters. The game follows the story of Cal Kestis, a Jedi Padawan who survived the fall of the Jedi Order and is on the run from the Galactic Empire.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a major success, and it looks like the sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is set to continue the trend. The game is set five years after the events of the first game and follows Cal Kestis as he continues his journey as a Jedi. While not much has been revealed about the story so far, it has been confirmed that the game will feature new gameplay elements such as a blaster + lightsaber combo and the ability to wield a crossguard lightsaber. Players can also expect to see new Force powers and applications.
Overall, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor looks like it will be a highly-anticipated game for fans of the Star Wars franchise and action-adventure games. It is set to release in the coming months, so be sure to keep an eye out for more information.
