Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be released next September 10, 2023 in what looks like a return to the saga’s origins. In this new installment, from what has been seen so far, it seems that Ubisoft is moving away from what was done in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla and would leave aside the RPG elements to refocus on stealth.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
It was this past September when Nintendo finally presented the sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and gave us a date and a title. Thus, on May 12, 2023 comes to Switch one of the most anticipated games of recent years.

On the other hand, from what has been seen so far, everything indicates that it is the most adult installment of the saga, something that the game developers also emphasize.
As we said, the Final Fantasy saga will always be among the most anticipated games from the moment of its announcement and, in 2023, we will not only have Final Fantasy XVI, but, predictably, it will also be the year of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth.

Hades 2
Hades was one of those games that caught the press and gamers off guard. We could expect a good game, but not the success of what is probably one of the best roguelike games.

Octopath Traveler II
Octopath Traveler II will arrive on consoles and PC next February 24, 2023. The original game was released in 2018 and was quite a surprise for JRPG fans. A game that brought back the traditional formula of this genre with a unique and very striking art style.
Thus, the second installment maintains the same structure which will bring a group of 8 new characters. Also, a story that is set in a world with aesthetics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
