Oh no! I simply checked out a calendar in spite of everything these online game showcases and realized that later this yr has develop into actually, actually packed, with Alan Wake II, Spider-Man 2, and extra all launching in a 10-day span of time later this fall. Put together yourselves. And your wallets.

We’re within the eye of the Summer season Recreation Fest 2023 hurricane, so let’s take a quick second to catch our collective breath and look again at all the things introduced to date at occasions just like the Xbox showcase. Taking inventory of the subsequent few months of interactive leisure, one factor has develop into obvious: October 2023 now formally has too many video video games!

Immediately we realized that the subsequent main Forza Motorsport installment will likely be launched on October 10. That lands proper in the midst of a bunch of different large video games touchdown within the spooky month. Right here’s the record, to date, following the Summer season Recreation Fest opening occasion and the Xbox showcase:

• Forza Motorsport – October 10, 2023
• Murderer’s Creed Mirage – October 12, 2023
• Lords of the Fallen – October 13, 2023
• Alan Wake II – October 17, 2023
• Spider-Man 2 – October 20, 2023

That already looks as if lots. However issues get wilder and extra hectic in the event you develop the window to only a bit earlier than October, as the brand new Cyberpunk 2077 DLC-–Phantom Liberty—releases on September 26, simply 4 days earlier than October begins. And Mortal Kombat 1, Payday 3, and Starfield additionally drop in September, as nicely, all inside just a few weeks of one another. That is all reminding me of the logjam we acquired in February 2022.

And have in mind: We aren’t achieved with Geoff Keighley’s not-E3 online game extravaganza! There are nonetheless extra online game showcases coming within the close to future. So it’s potential one other few video games find yourself asserting October launch dates earlier than that is throughout. Regardless, I hope you’ve gotten some cash saved up and a few sick days to burn as a result of fall 2023 goes to be packed.
