Upcoming games that are blowing players away

2022 came out of nowhere with the games it gave us. Some were good, some were bad and some were too glitchy to play. But now, a new year is around the corner, which means new games to look forward to.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

The developers of popular game “Hollow Knight” are dropping another bomb with the announcement of the long-awaited sequel “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” set for somewhere before June 2023. The player will be playing not as The Knight, but as a new character named Hornet from the previous game. Hornet is the princess-protector of Hallownest and she ventures into a kingdom of silk and songs.

Resident Evil Four

Coming out on March 24, Capcom plans to release another remake of an iconic entry, “Resident Evil 4.” The popular horror survival shooting and puzzle-solving adventure games have been in the works for a while with content they wanted to add but couldn’t due to deadlines. Now trailers are out and it will be playable on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Since it’s a remake, the story may diverge from the original or be kept the same.

If you like role-play, turn-based adventure games that have a rich story and a beautiful modern retro art style, then the creators of “The Messenger,” (2018) Sabotage Studio, have got you covered. Originally set to release in 2022 but pushed back to 2023, Sabotage Studio developed a new world called “Sea of Stars.” You play as two Children of the Solstice with the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of fighting off the monstrous creations of an evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.

Sabotage Studio has a website to check out where you can preorder a package to play the game on PC and console platforms of Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. With the developers dropping snippets of gameplay and more characters to help you out, this game is going to be full of surprises.
