Sacred Symbols, Episode 235 | Our Most Anticipated Games of 2023
Added 2022-12-30 17:00:03 +0000 UTC2022 is but a fleeting memory. Thus, as the calendar turns over, we thought it would be best to look ahead. As is our tradition, it's time for Sacred Symbols to talk about our most-anticipated games of the next 12 months. 2023 is shaping up to be a far, far stronger year than 2022, an especially bold proclamation considering we know virtually nothing about what's coming from either first or second party. Indeed, none of our 15 selections are PlayStation-published games, but -- naturally -- all of them are coming to PS5, PS4, or both. Without further ado, we present to you the upcoming adventures that've piqued our interest the most.

Maybe Ubisoft is merging the development of Avatar and Skull & Bones to be renamed as "Avatarrrrrrrr, Me Matey". (I'll see myself out)

2023-01-07 17:58:47 +0000 UTCWe'll see soon enough!

2023-01-04 17:16:25 +0000 UTCAtomic heart has "broken at launch and disappointing" written all over it. Looks way too good to be true, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Keith Golfer
2023-01-03 17:34:02 +0000 UTCHaving played the demo way back when it was released (2018?), I really feel like there's no possibility for Atomic Heart to be anything other than outstanding or awful. I suspect it's a patchwork of cool art, that's going to live or die based on whether their gameplay implementation can coalesce these elements. We'll see, but I'm pessimistic to be honest.

2023-01-01 11:32:38 +0000 UTCJust a correction. Resident Evil 4 on Quest 2 is the best way to play the game today. Carry on.

2022-12-31 22:12:00 +0000 UTCYeah man, gonna be great.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-31 20:31:40 +0000 UTCYes, looks nice.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-31 20:31:34 +0000 UTCGood list.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-31 20:31:30 +0000 UTCI don't get hyped for much but I absolutely cannot wait to lose myself in Sea of Stars (I backed it on Kickstarter the minute I read the description on Kickstarter) for likely weeks on end like RPGs tend to do lol.

2022-12-31 20:20:37 +0000 UTCExcellent discussion. 2023 looks insane so far. One of my most anticipated games is Last Faith, a pixel art Castlevania type game.
Tefo
2022-12-31 19:19:33 +0000 UTCMy 5 are Hogwarts, Jedi survivor, Ff16, Spiderman 2, Re4 remake. Looking forward to hearing more talk about games and hopefully spoliercasts with 2023 being pretty loaded.

2022-12-31 18:17:42 +0000 UTCLOL.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-31 18:17:35 +0000 UTCYeah, I'd consider it second party.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-31 18:17:30 +0000 UTCColin you're dead on with ini creates and yhact club. Pixel art is certainly an 'artificial challenge'. I gotta add so is chiptune!

2022-12-31 11:54:53 +0000 UTCCoffee is like toothpaste, it’s a product which serves an important function every day, and is nice as far is it goes, but to be a connoisseur? I don’t get it personally.
Rich Price
2022-12-31 09:32:13 +0000 UTCI'll add Stellar Blade is kind-of 2nd party now that PlayStation is publishing it, right? So, two 1st and one 2nd party games slated firmly for 2023 thus far.... I definitely think we will get a State of Play or something in the early goings of next year. Well, I at least hope that is the case.
