Tekken 8
What has been announced? The new Tekken 8 has officially been revealed! The next part of the well-known fighting series promises to be a real graphics bomb in the first trailer – the scenes are supposed to look just as smooth in the game and were shot directly from the story mode. No wonder, Bandai Namco relies on the powerful Unreal Engine 5 this time.
Interesting for PC gamers? Definitely, because Tekken 8 will be released for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. There is no release date as yet.
God of War Ragnarok
What has been announced? A new story trailer shows many scenes from the journey of Kratos and son-man Atreus as they continue to fight for their lives in the Norse mythical world. Important characters like Tyr, Freya and even Thor, the god of thunder, make brief appearances that make you curious about the story of God of War Ragnarok
Interesting for PC? Yes, but you have to be patient. Since God of War (i.e. the 2018 reboot) didn”t come out for PC until 2022, we fully expect Ragnarok to hit there at some point too. But probably not for a few years.
Rise of the Ronin
What has been announced? Team Ninja, the developers of Nioh and Nioh 2, have revealed their new game: Rise of the Ronin will be an open-world title in which we experience the world of the samurai first-hand. The story is set at the end of the Edo period, in the 19th century. You are equipped as a lordless and nameless Ronin with traditional katana, but also with early firearms.
Interesting for PC? Rise of the Ronin has been announced as “console exclusive for PS5”, which pretty much means it will also be released for PC. The release date is still a bit in the future, said to be sometime in 2024.
Hogwarts Legacy
What has been announced? Those who play Hogwarts Legacy on a PlayStation console can look forward to an exclusive quest set in the village of Hogsmead.
Interesting for PC? Only if you”re annoyed that the Wizarding World isn”t fully accessible to everyone.
Pacific Drive
What has been announced? Pacific Drive is a new survival adventure game with racing elements and the debut work of developer Ironwood Studios, which sends you to the Pacific Northwest. However, in the post-apocalypse.
Interesting for PC? Yes, Pacific Drive will also be released for PC (and console-exclusive for PlayStation 5) in 2023.
Synduality
What”s been announced? Another new reveal from Bandai Namco is Synduality, a sci-fi shooter in which you”ll have an AI companion by your side and move with them through a post-apocalypse filled with acid rains and monsters.
Interesting for PC? Synduality will also be released for PC in 2023 as well as for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Project Eve is now Stellar Blade
What was announced? Project Eve has been renamed Stellar Blade, but everything else about the action game remains the same. As fighter Eve, you literally battle your way through a complex sci-fi world.
Interesting for PC? Like Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade was also announced as “console exclusive for PS5” and should accordingly also be released for the PC, but not for Xbox.
Like a Dragon: Ishin
What has been announced? The spin-off to the Japanese Yakuza series is now coming to the West. However, not the original from 2014, but a remake based on the Unreal Engine 4. You will meet familiar faces again, but this time protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is on the move as sword master Sakamoto Ryoma in the 19th century.
Interesting for PC? Small update, thanks to watchful eyes from our world”s best community: in the meantime, another trailer has clarified that Like a Dragon: Ishin will be released on consoles as well as oh on PC via Steam. On 21 February 2023, that is.
