Video games are arguably at their best when they let you embark on grand adventures through fantastical worlds, and that’s precisely what any RPG should try to do. 2022 proved to be a great year for games of this ilk with the likes of Horizon Forbidden West, and 2023 and beyond is similarly packed with exciting RPG games – and here are 15 examples:
Starfield
Starfield is easily one of the most exciting games on this list, simply because it is Bethesda’s first new IP in over 25 years. But this space odyssey isn’t just all show and no substance, Starfield is set to be the premier next-gen Bethesda RPG with cutting-edge graphics and gargantuan open-world comprising over 100 fully explorable planets. As for the gameplay, expect the same loop of tackling quests and leveling up as you work your way through the main story – though the actual mechanics seem much more polished this time around. It will be released for Xbox Series X/S and PC sometime in 2023.
