Last month we took a look at the most anticipated multiplayer games launching in 2023. Today it’s time for some honourable mentions which don’t have exact dates yet, but we know they will help guarantee 2023 is the year for community gaming.
We’ve collated seven more of the most anticipated multiplayer games launching this year, so you can start planning your next date night or group hang.
Crash Team Rumble
Crash Team Rumble is a 4v4 multiplayer game that tasks players with leading their squad to victory. Slide, smash, bump, and bash as a team to be the 'fur-st' to bank the most Wumpa fruit in your drop-off zone, while simultaneously defending the opposing team's drop zone.
This multiplayer game looks perfect for an easy night in with friends, full of a healthy dose of competition plus lots of nostalgia and quirky characters for those familiar with Crash Bandicoot.
Earth From Another Sun
Earth From Another Sun is an open-world galactic domination sandbox where you can command massive armies to fight alongside you on planets and in space. Progress through the single-player mode or join up to 60 players in MMO for a galactic dominion conquest to test your skills against others.
If a dystopian future with adaptable robotics sounds like your cup of tea, this first-person shooter is sure to get the tactical cogs of your brain working. Most likely, this will be another great option for groups of long-distance, casual gamers eager to explore space and liberate planets.
Exoprimal
Exoprimal is an online, team-based action game that pits humanity in cutting-edge exosuit technology against history's most ferocious beasts – dinosaurs. Players will need to hold firm against overwhelming dinosaur swarms in online-only, team-based action game modes.
From the creators of Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Devil May Cry, Capcom are the video game developer and publisher delivering hordes of unstoppable raptors for robotics-clad fighters. The main game mode sees two teams of five players compete in a variety of PvE and PvP missions, transported to the scene of the latest outbreak.
FROM FEAR
FROM FEAR is a 1-4 player online co-op survival horror where you face your fear head-on and collect resources to unlock new maps and tools, all while trying to stay alive. Like most scary games, these are best enjoyed with others so you can scream, cry and laugh along the wild ride.
This project went viral on TikTok last year which prompted an ‘Early Access’ version to become available on Steam. Players can provide feedback before the final release but it’s currently shaping up to have the same cult status as Phasmophobia. The creator has confirmed that FROM FEAR will offer three fears (Death, Clowns, and Spiders) and two maps to explore so which will you and your bravest friends choose?
Redfall
Redfall is an open-world, co-op first-person shooter driven by both story and action, making it look terrifying and thrilling at the same time. This carefully crafted world allows up to four players to cooperatively take down vampires, however story progression will only be tied to the host player.
If you want an idea of the visuals and story of this game, you just need to take a look at its creators; Arkane Austin (the award-winning team behind Prey and Dishonored) and Bethesda Softworks (the studio responsible for popular games like DOOM, Elder Scrolls, The Evil Within and Wolfenstein).
Forza Motorsport
Don’t make the mistake of thinking Forza Motorsport is a sequel or remake – this is a full reboot of XBox Game Studios’ critically acclaimed series of simulation racing games. Almost 20 years after the first Forza Motorsport was released, this new game promises incredible visuals, varied car rosters, and robust online racing.
What sets this game apart from rivals and past versions, is that it aims to deliver impeccable realism with intricate physics and handling. Cars and tracks are taken straight from the real world, and modern-day systems.
Silent Hill: Ascension
Silent Hill: Ascension is a new interactive streaming experience where the entire community shapes how the video game is played. Character actions are influenced by both viewers and players' decisions, making this genre-defying title ideal for backseat gamers and streams alike.
Genvid are the fast-rising team behind this experience, passionate about delivering community-driven interactive entertainment. Their CEO, Jacob Navok, describes the innovative game as "a live real-time interactive series where millions of fans will watch together as the chilling story unfolds. You can change its outcomes and even be a part of scenes."
