Hack-and-slash games used to be all the rage back in the day, and while the popularity of this genre has waned over the last couple of generations – plenty of developers are hard at work creating promising games of this ilk. Sure, many of these games belong to the middle market and indie space, but that doesn’t make them any less exciting. To that end, here are 15 upcoming hack and slash games of 2023 and beyond that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Black Myth: Wukong
Chinese developer Game Science’s upcoming Black Myth: Wukong is based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West, and players embark on a grand quest to fight all sorts of monsters scattered throughout the kingdom. The combat is extremely fast-paced yet methodical, with boss fights obviously being a highlight of the experience. You can also turn into an insect or a giant monster to overcome difficult situations, and it looks absolutely gorgeous thanks to great use of Unreal Engine 5. Black Myth: Wukong will release for PC sometime in the near future.
