Hogwarts Legacy

  • Release date: 4 April 2023 Xbox One exclusive? No, also Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Switch and PC Publisher: Warner Bros.

At last, we’re getting a proper RPG set in the vivid world of Harry Potter, with our own wizarding student to guide through their time at Hogwarts. This is set quite a long time before the events of the books, though, so we’re looking forward to exploring a more vintage version of the wizarding world.

This fun spin-off for the world of Minecraft lets you control armies while moving around on the ground as their commander, an interesting mix of real-time strategy and some light action.

It’s got a really nice graphical look to it and will have engaging multiplayer options, making it a must for anyone who’s sunk hours into Minecraft.

Dead Island 2

  • Release date: 28 April 2023 Xbox One exclusive? No, also Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4 and PC Publisher: Deep Silver

We’d almost given up hope of playing Dead Island 2 since it was taking so long to be shown off publicly, but we’re pleased to report that it’s now officially coming, and looks really fun from the trailers released so far. It’s going to be bigger than the first game in every way, unsurprisingly, and we can’t wait to sink our teeth in.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

  • Release date: TBC Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and PC Publisher: Paradox Interactive

After a decade and a half, we’re finally getting a sequel to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Similarly a first-person RPG, it’ll put you in the shoes of a bloodsucker ready to wreak havoc on mortals and the vampiric alike. We can’t wait.

Beyond Good & Evil 2

  • Release date: TBC Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS4 and PC Publisher: Ubisoft

It’s been more than 15 years since the original game, so this sequel has us excited more than most. We still haven’t seen much of the gameplay yet, but the CGI effects are quite simply jaw-dropping. What’s more, you can have some of your music or artwork included in the game. Find out more at hitrecord.org.
