Best PS5 games 2023
|
While many people are saying that the PS5 is already losing against the Xbox Series X because of the enormous number of heavyweight console exclusives that Microsoft managed to get for themselves, the PS5 is still nonetheless standing strong with its lineup of yet-to-be-released console exclusives. Here are just some of the top 10 upcoming PS5 console exclusives that will not be coming to the Xbox Series X. Show Top 10 Upcoming PS5 Console Exclusives (As of October 6, 2022)1. Forspoken While we’d still love to see Final Fantasy 7 Remake in this list, for the time being, we’re letting Cloud and Sephiroth step aside in favor of another SQUARE ENIX title: Forspoken. Appearing in the PlayStation Showcase, Forspoken’s a breath of fresh air from the usual games SQUARE ENIX has treated to us. Forspoken is very promising especially since it’s being worked on by industry veterans, including the fabled Amy Hennig. Originally set to be released in May 2022, the game was delayed to October 11, 2022, to give the studio more time to polish the game. Then, the game was further delayed to January 24, 2023. This time, the delay was, according to Luminous, more of a strategic decision rather than a developmental one – meaning even if Forsaken is already ready to be released this October, they wouldn’t want to compete with whatever’s coming out around that time. Luminous and SQUARE ENIX would rather launch the game a little later than risk getting buried under the rubble by other games (probably learning from Horizon Forbidden West and Horizon Zero Dawn’s experience.) 2. God of War: Ragnarok God of War is definitely one of the highlights of the PS4’s lifespan. Of course, Sony won’t let Santa Monica Studio get away with not making a sequel for the PS5. God of War: Ragnarok will cement the series’ longevity and long-term appeal, with the game releasing almost 17 years since the original title came out. God of War: Ragnarok made an appearance in the latest Sony PlayStation Showcase, and we actually gained a lot of info, including the introduction of the burly Thor. Meanwhile, the arrival of God of War on PC might also mean that Ragnarok will eventually follow suit, but this, as of now, is mere speculation. Either way, God of War: Ragnarok may just be the most hotly-anticipated PS5 console exclusive yet. 3. Eternights Eternights is a new adventure set to release in ‘Early 2023,’ in which we’ll endeavor to make the best of life in the post-apocalyptic world — rescuing the planet, finding love, and so on. The Eternights debut trailer effectively demonstrated the game’s unique mixture of love narrative and haptic combat, emphasizing the dungeon exploration and courting that would be necessary. Basically a game that mixes Action RPG and dating sim, Eternights look promising, especially for anime fans. 4. Goodbye Volcano High Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic narrative adventure about the end of an era and the beginning of a love story, originally slated for a 2021 release, but was delayed to 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The game is set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaur characters, following the members of a high school band called VVorm Drama: Fang, Trish, Naomi, and Naser. The player will get to venture through the highs and lows of their final year in high school and deal with the looming threat of an asteroid right around the corner. This PS5 console exclusive will also come out on Steam. 5. MARVEL’s Wolverine With the recent interest in Wolverine running high again thanks to the Deadpool 3 reveal that Hugh Jackman will be returning to play the character in the film, interest in this upcoming Insomniac Game also spiked once again. Unfortunately for us MARVEL and Wolverine fans, this game isn’t coming out any time soon, as Insomniac Games currently have their hands full on another project (more on that later) and Wolverine currently has no release schedule or timeline yet. Still, it doesn’t make it any less exciting, given how little the PS5 has in offering in terms of console exclusives right now. 6. Spider-Man 2 As we’ve already mentioned, Spider-Man 2 will be coming out in the far future exclusively to the PS5. It’s amazing how Insomniac Games is working on two big-name projects at once, but we do hope that both Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine will both deliver. Thankfully, Insomniac Games has a clean track record in this regard, and we can only wait patiently as they do their magic on this sequel game. Spider-Man 3: No Way Home just added more hype for this game, and, well, we’re just going to leave it at that to keep this article spoiler-free. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is already on PC. Have you checked it out yet? 7. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth The second game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy, Rebirth will follow up on the divisive ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake – this tie fully embracing its identity as a new, parallel timeline instead of a full-on remake of the original game. In this rendition, we’ve seen very few footages so far, but what SQUARE ENIX has allowed to tease so far has shown that the Final Fantasy VII Remake series really might take a wholly different direction storywise – including the possibility of Sephiroth being an ally, and of Zack Fair actually being alive. This is definitely going to be one of the best PS5 games coming out this year. 8. Final Fantasy XVI Final Fantasy 16 still doesn’t have a release date, but the latest news coming from Yoshi-P indicates that an official release date might be revealed very soon, especially since he also said that the game is now in its final stages of development. Nevertheless, fans are eagerly awaiting the next entry to the long-running saga by Square Enix. We are expecting more details to come out soon this Spring, as promised by game director Naoki Yoshida. Details about the game are still sparse, but here’s what we know: the game is set in the fictional world of Valisthea, a continent with six factions that are on the verge of conflict due to the spreading disease called the Blight. The release window for the game finally was revealed during the June Sony State of Play, which is set for Summer 2023. Well, that’s still a long time coming, but we’re sure it will be worth the wait, and this PS5 console exclusive could even be a console seller. 9. Horizon Call of the Mountain For those who are still reeling from the emotional roller-coaster that was Horizon: Forbidden West, there’s yet another PS5 game that’s coming soon. However, you’d actually need the new PS VR2 to play this game. This game seems to focus more on exploration, showcasing the colorful world of Horizon, but also showcasing the technical prowess of the new VR console. While it’s not going to be as action-intensive as Horizon: Forbidden West, we’re sure that this game will still be picked up by Horizon fans who would eventually own the PS VR2. While not everyone’s not going to be able to play this PS5 game, we’re sure that it’ll still be a big treat for Horizon fans. 10. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Headlining the PlayStation Showcase is one game that a lot of RPG fans have not forgotten: Knights of the Old Republic. The classic RPG tale of twists and turns will be returning, built from scratch. The game’s remake will have no participation from BioWare whatsoever, however, so it’d be interesting to see how this one will turn out in the hands of Aspyr. We haven’t seen a great CRPG game in a long while, so we really hope that this game delivers. Aspyr should not mess with this classic’s remake if they don’t want to face the wrath of the entire gaming community. And please, no microtransactions. Please. Sadly, recent news has signified that Aspyr has decided to shelve development for the game for the time being. This game is still one of the most highly-anticipated games coming to PlayStation, and I don’t think Sony will let go of this just like that, especially after featuring the title on one of their State of Plays. Most probably the game would fall into the care of Saber Interactive, which used to just be part of the development team in a support role. Hopefully, we get more optimistic news about the game soon. And that’s our top 10 upcoming PS5 games that we’re looking forward to – games that aren’t coming to consoles. Which ones are your most anticipated?
