I’ve awoken from my sliced ham and prosecco-induced vacation slumber and am able to acknowledge (with solely just a little little bit of a tremor) that we’re in a brand new yr. New yr, new me? No. Spiral ham and prosecco remind me that it’s okay for some issues to at all times stay the identical. New yr, new set of online game launch dates? You guess.
Final yr’s recreation bulletins helped me acquire an ocean’s price of dates and titles to share in a complete record, however since we’re so early into 2023—and extra eternally, as a result of even cautious plans get delayed—you’ll discover that some actual dates or titles are lacking, and even would possibly find yourself altering.
This record will get refreshed as we get deeper into the yr and be taught extra actual dates and I be taught extra about iPads, as a separate facet challenge. Studios can electronic mail me with bulletins at abardhan@kotaku.com for potential inclusion on this record, too. Within the meantime, right here’s each recreation it’s a must to sit up for in 2023.
