5 upcoming open-world games in 2023 that you should be aware of

Open-world games are among the most popular video games, a genre that many people love. They give players access to huge maps and allow them to move around anytime. Many people have attracted to such games thanks to the aspect of choice.

Open-world maps are famous for having numerous sections, with each sector subdivided based on the type of opponent and how difficult it is to defeat them, the kind of terrain, or even the weather.

Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and other open-world games were released in 2022. So we can say that 2022 was an excellent year for open-world game releases.

Even if it seems very difficult for other, better titles to arrive, 2023 has quite an exciting section of games planned to be released this year.

The five most interesting open-world games for 2023

Forspoken

One of the most interesting and exciting announcements at the PlayStation Showcase 2021 was that of Forspoken. The Japanese company Luminous Productions created a new action role-playing game that stars a woman named Frey Holland.

In the gameplay video and trailers, we can see Frey using superhuman abilities, which allow her to move differently and engage in combat. In addition, Frey has over 100 spells and a magical arsenal that will keep players entertained as they explore a vast open world designed to take full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s capabilities.

The game will be available for PlayStation 5 and Windows on January 24.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Many of The Legend of Zelda titles receive multiple awards each year, making it one of the most celebrated video game series ever created.

The video game tells the story of Link, an elf-like human who sets out on a quest to save Princess Zelda.

The open-world concept of The Legend of Zelda has long been acclaimed for the variety of activities available to players. The next game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, aims to maintain that heritage.

The long-awaited successor to Breath of the Wild, released in 2017 and frequently recognized as one of the best video games ever, is titled Tears of the Kingdom. The first one was going to be a DLC, but it’s a full game. Despite the lack of information, players can anticipate exploring the kingdom of Hyrule as they did in the last round.

The game will be available for sale on May 12 for Nintendo Switch.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which came out in 2019. In this title, players again take control of Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan who has just returned from a protracted battle against the Dark Side and survived the Jedi Purge.

However, five years later, he encounters the strength of the Galactic Empire and is forced to search the galaxy for allies and strategies to fight his newest adversary.

Many of Cal’s abilities and other gameplay elements from Fallen Order will be present in the sequel. In addition, it includes a host of all-new components, including a crossguard lightsaber, five new Cal poses, and a sizable open-world area.

The release date is March 17, which is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox X Series, and Xbox S Series.

Hogwarts Legacy

One of the biggest projects Potterheads could have wished for brings the Wizarding World back to video games. In the action role-playing game Hogwarts Legacy, players can explore a vast open-world terrain filled with numerous famous locations from the films.

Nothing is off limits in this magical world, including Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, and even the Shrieking Shack. In addition to learning many parts of magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, players have the power to fly through the air using brooms.

The release date is February 10 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox X/S, April 4 for PS4 and Xbox One, and July 25 for Nintendo Switch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has been making headlines since its unveiling at the 2021 PlayStation Showcase and will likely be one of the biggest games of 2023. Many fans are like crazy waiting for the release of Insomniac’s new masterpiece because Venom makes an appearance in the trailer and because the possibility of continuing the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales has them excited.

While Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2018 changed how Spidey shoots his webs forever, Miles Morales’ Spider-Man: 2020 surpassed the capabilities of PlayStation 4. It also produced impressive Christmas-themed New York open-world experiences on PlayStation 5.

Gamers may be wondering how Insomniac can better the series with Spider-Man 2.

This title will be released in the fall of 2023 for PlayStation 5.
