S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
New RPG from studio Obsidian. The isometric perspective has been replaced by a first-person perspective, but the adventure will once again take place in the world of Eor, the setting for the Pillars of Eternity dilogy. There is little official information about the game, but insiders say that it will have a large and detailed open world with many different activities and attractions, and the plot will focus on the fight against tyranny. A special emphasis in Avowed will be placed on artificial intelligence: gamers will face many different factions and will be able to take companions. In addition, it is rumored that it will have huge bosses, and the gods will take an important place in the game. The release of Avowed is tentatively held at the end of 2023.
CrossfireX
The revival of the legendary RPG series. The new part will be a soft restart, but it will keep everything that the fans of the previous games loved for: magic, swords, variability of the passage and British humor in stock, as the authors assure. There are few details about the project at the moment: Playground Games, responsible for Forza Horizon, is engaged in development, and the head of marketing for Xbox Games is confident that the series is in good hands. Alas, the reboot does not even have an approximate release date, but the game will be a temporary Xbox Series X exclusive.
Forza Motorsport
One of the main Microsoft shooters was supposed to come out simultaneously with the release of the Xbox Series X, but it will have to be delayed. Nevertheless, the development is in full swing: the authors promise to show the new adventure of the Master Chief, which will be not only the most epic, but also “more human” than before. The early gameplay was coolly received by players and became a reason for jokes, but 343 Industries took the criticism seriously and promises that the sixth installment of the game series will not disappoint either newcomers or longtime fans of the franchise. Halo Infinite will be released in 2023, the exact date is currently unknown.
Psychonauts 2
Continuation of the adventures of the Celtic warrior, suffering from mental disorders, which she herself takes for a curse. The sequel, apparently, will tell a fundamentally new story about the heroine: the journey to the afterlife was replaced by pagan rituals and dense combat skirmishes with opponents. What exactly the game will be about remains a mystery: the developers said only that they want to explore how madness and suffering can shape religion and mythology. At the same time, it is known that Hellblade II will be one of the first titles created on Unreal Engine 5. The game does not even have an approximate release date, but many assume that it is unlikely to be released before 2023.
Scorn
New project from the creators of Observer and Layers of Fear, who managed to make a name for themselves among horror fans. The Medium will be a psychological horror game centered around the girl medium Marianne. She is able to move between our reality and the realm of the dead. One of the important features of the game, the developers call the simultaneous rendering of parallel worlds: users will be able to move between realities on the go to reveal the tragedy that happened in an abandoned boarding house many years ago. The spirit world soundtrack will be composed by the legendary Akira Yamaoka, best known as the composer of the Silent Hill series. The Medium will be out by the end of 2023.
