After the anticipated end-of-year releases of the Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series, it’s time to move on to PC releases. And we hope you’ve finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield because there are big releases coming up. Here are the 7 most anticipated PC games of late 2023.
Mortal Kombat 1
If the next opus of Tekken will wait until 2024 to be released, this is not the case for this fighting game license. Even more, Mortal Kombat will even offer us very soon a complete reboot of its formula and its universe. The idea is to offer “a new start” to the license. This means that the lore will be reworked and the links between the different characters modified. For example, lifelong enemies Sub-Zero and Scorpion will now be brothers. But the new features don’t just concern the story and the characters. On the gameplay side, this Mortal Kombat 1 will offer us some interesting little changes, like the cameo system. Thanks to it, you will be able to combine the powers and combos of your character with those of the one in the background (chosen by you).
Release date: September 19
Payday 3
Are you looking for a game to have fun with your friends between two solo gaming sessions? Well that’s good because September comes out Payday 3. As its name suggests, this is the third opus of the Payday license, a multiplayer heist license. Your goal in this game will be to plan, with your friends, the craziest heists and to put your plans into action. No big changes to note, except new opportunities richer in possibilities. This is particularly the case with the heist which was shown during the gamescom launch party: the 99 Boxes heist. You can (re)discover the presentation video below. Note that for this third opus, the license changes studio. Payday 3 was in fact entrusted to Starbreeze Studios, which had already taken care of post-launch content.
Release date: September 21
Cyberpunk 2077 – Phantom Liberty
Almost three years after its (chaotic) release, it is time for Cyberpunk 2077 to welcome its first DLC. Her name ? Cyberpunk 2077 – Phantom Liberty. Its goal ? Taking you to a new area of Pacifica. The latter is a lawless district where anarchy reigns supreme. Only one man truly has power beyond this district: the vile Solomon Reed. After Keanu Reeves, it’s Idris Elba’s turn to lend his face to a Cyberpunk character, and this time, it’s an antagonist. In this DLC, you will indeed have to face Reed’s forces and it will not be an easy task. This is why a few new gameplay features won’t be out of place. For Phantom Liberty, the talent tree has been completely redesigned, a new branch linked to the Relic in V’s head will make its debut and the functioning of law enforcement reworked, among other things.
Release date: September 26
EA Sports FC 24
Do you know EA Sports FC? If this name is unknown to you, it is nevertheless the sequel to a world-famous license: FIFA. But now, EA having lost the rights to this name, it was forced to give a new name to its series of football simulation games. As a result, we find ourselves in September with a new, not so new: EA Sports FC 24. Please note, if the name changes, the structure of the game remains the same. You will find in EA Sports FC 24, what was the heyday of the last FIFA, starting with the famous FUT mode. But of course, who says new opus, says some improvements and new features. For example, we will find new mechanics, such as “Advanced Shot Cancels” allowing you to chain a fake shot onto a technical gesture, but also new possibilities, such as access to coaches or agents in career mode. .
Release date: September 29
Assassin’s Creed Mirage
After a busy month of September, begins a month of October that is at least just as busy. And it starts early with the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Almost three years after the release of Valhalla, Ubisoft’s flagship license will be entitled to a new opus. But be careful, forget the large open worlds, hundreds of hours of gameplay and RPG mechanics. Mirage is a slightly different episode, thought of as a “back to basics”. The goal is therefore to offer a more linear adventure, focused mainly around a city (Baghdad) and the three original pillars of the license: discretion, assassination and parkour. Valhalla players will still be able to find Basim, who makes his return in this opus. He is even the protagonist and players will be able to follow his eventful rise within Those We Do Not See.
Release date: October 5
The Lord of the Rings : Return to Moria
This year, fans of the saga The Lord of the Rings were impatiently awaiting the game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Released last May, the game unfortunately disappointed greatly. With its score of 34/100, the title is even the lowest rated game of the year on Metacritic. To forget this disappointment, fans of the Tolkien universe have decided to transfer all their expectations to another title which has thus slipped into the most anticipated games of the year on JV: The Lord of the Rings : Return to Moria. This time, you are immersed in the world of dwarves. They seek to recover the lands of Moria, and you will help them in this survival game, playable both solo and in cooperative (up to eight players). A completely different kind of game than Gollum, which we of course hope is more convincing.
Release date: October 24
Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3
And it’s Call of Duty which closes the ball of the big PC releases at the end of the year. We no longer need to present this FPS license known to everyone, even to newbies. On the other hand, it is important to present his next opus: Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 . If this name means something to you, it’s not for nothing. It is in fact a remake of the 2011 game released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and even DS and Wii. The latter was, for a time, the best-selling CoD thanks to its 30.33 units sold. But then, what does this new version have to offer us? Well, Activision and Sledgehammer Games have decided to offer us a reworked and freer experience than ever. For the first time, you will indeed have the choice of approach: action or discretion. Add to that other small new features and some improvements and you get the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Release date: November 10
