35 Upcoming RPG Releases for 2023 (JRPG, ARPG, Tactical RPG)

[@TheKisekiNut]

All I can say is thank you all for being patient. I finally got my system back today, hopefully for the last time. I plan to get 1 more video out before I leave for Christmas, and in that I want to give you guys the full rundown of everything that's happened in the past 4 months or so, as I feel I owe an explanation at the very least. Anyway due to the lack of time that I have left, there won't be a news summary for November or December (sorry Ys X). But I went with the next best thing, I'm hoping that this will give you guys a fairly succinct summary of the English RPG releases that are coming out (at least for now).

[@jmporkbob]

Good to see ya back, man. Merry Christmas to you!

[@Nikita_Akashya]

That's perfectly fine. I may have been waiting for those videos, but the more important thing is that you are doing well enough to do videos at all. But damn, there are so many great RPGs releasing next year. It's insane! And next year is also a really great year for Anime as well. 2023 is turning out to be insanely great for both JRPGs and Anime. I will spend the weekend playing Cold Steel so I can finally start playing Cold Steel 2 sometime next year. I already played Zero and Azure via the Geofront patch but I will sure as hell buy it again! But damn, some amazing games are coming out and my favorite anime has it's second season airing too. And of course Ys X. Us JRPg and anime fans are eating good next year. See you soon and merry christmas.

[@drowningin]

I’m very excited for Sea of Stars. What that company did with the messenger was so much fun. Not even a big fan of the genre, yet that game an indie was my GOTY

[@wardragonx]

Mitsuda doing the soundtrack is such a big bonus as well

[@mitchjames9350]

The Messenger is one of my favourite games of all time.

[@Makuro_XIII]

Welcome back, mate! Wow, 2023 is quite packed with a lot of promising games! Looking forward to: - Persona 3 - Keep up with Trails game (Zero / Azure / Cold Steel 4 and into Reverie) - Sea of Stars / Octopath Traveler 2 - Eiyuden Chronicles / Suikoden - FFXVI / FFVII Rebirth

[@oOPrettywinxOo]

I clearly need more hours in my days

[@TheKisekiNut]

Don't we all?

[@firebreather4192]

Welcome back mate! 2023 is going to be crazy. Trails, Like a Dragon, Final Fantasy, Suikoden Remasters, Eiyuden Chronicle, Stellar Blade, maybe finally Sea of Stars and Granblue... Just to name my big ones. How am I supposed to find time for all of these games and my backlog is already huge. :O

[@alanwattie6093]

So much to look forward to between now and next year. Top picks for me are Trails, Ryza, Neptunia, Fairy Fencer, Suikoden. Also excited for FF pixel remasters finally coming to console and the news of YS X and Felghana which I hope comes to the west and opens the door to release all the previous Ys games for modern consoles.

[@TheKisekiNut]

I expect to at least see them all on Switch if I'm honest, Falcom are pushing that platform hard.

[@alanwattie6093]

@@TheKisekiNut just hope they don’t stay trapped in Xseed limbo

[@robertmoorhead3731]

HA-HA! HE'S BACK! Hope the computer is fixed (Permanently!!!). Man it's good to have you back. You're the best source on the internet for my JRPG news. Just finished ToCS4 (Laughed, cried, etc) and I'm on DQ11S now! Thanks for letting me know what's going to lighten my wallet this coming year!!! Again, good to have you back.

[@Kenko_4]

Welcome back TKN! So many great RPGs next year with my most anticipated being Fire Emblem, Ryza 3, Blue Protocol, and Gran Blue Fantasy (I'm hopeful it'll be released). Hope you have a great holiday season!

[@TheKisekiNut]

2023 promises to be a good one for us! And I dare say there'll be way more to look forward to.

[@NathanYoungLibrary]

Welcome back homie - hope your rig is good to go. Didn't throw as many on the list from this video but definitely a good few. (Sadface no Ys release TBD for 2023)

[@Psaurus81]

So glad you're back! I've missed your videos. I hope the PC finally holds together.

[@wendyjones3967]

Welcome back! There are about 14 games on that list I have preordered or intend to preorder.

[@MiamiSunrise]

That is such a stellar list of games, one after another. I cant wait to see how this next year turns out for JRPGs because there is a lot of meat on the bone next year for sure!

[@Outmind01]

It's nice to see a resurgence of tactical RPGs, and that so many of all the games in the video will be available on the PC.

[@padnomnidprenon9672]

Good games are back. Check out the RTS coming out in the next few months.

[@Ronjonbify]

Hey TKN -- just a quick note, Chained Echoes is AMAZING. As many of your viewers are already commenting :) Personally am about 5 hours in, so far it's literally the perfect retro JRPG. Our game tastes are pretty similar, I think you'd like it (as would many of your viewers). Thanks again for your amazing work!

[@TheKisekiNut]

A lot of people are praising it, and it was on my wishlist anyway! So, all the more reason to play it soon. At the moment though my gaming time has been taken up by something else that I intend to finish before I leave.

[@Ronjonbify]

@@TheKisekiNut Yep, but then after that! Anyway it's a really good game, at least the first five hours. Relatively cheap too ($25 in the US), should probably be on every retro JRPG fan's Christmas list honestly (esp because multiple platforms). Only problem is no physical release so do you put a discount code under the tree? Ha. Anyway just thought I should let you know. Thx again for the great content!

[@Moffattt]

@@Ronjonbify do note that its on gamepass aswell so if you already have that or are intrested in other gamepass games its most likely better to get gamepass for a couple of months

[@Ronjonbify]

@@Moffattt Did not know that, thanks! Already bought the game unfortunately but good info for other ppl who might be reading this later

[@Llortnerof]

@@Ronjonbify For what it's worth, it's one of the few recent JRPGs with a story that kept me engaged all the way through. Got quite a few where i just got bored in the last chapter or two. It'll throw surprises at you all the way to the very end, too.

[@garysteven1343]

Stellar Blade has piqued my interest, it looks really good visually and combat is so smooth!! Definitely gonna check it when it releases.

[@kurorolucilfer6299]

i got to play the beta, you wont be disappointed

[@larcek.giglamesh]

some good titles in there. happy i'll get much to play in the coming months, with ryza 3 and trails to azure finally unlocking myself to start the cold steel series. still working on trails from zero, though that's likely gonna be finished soon.

[@wolfinapocalypse1169]

I just found your channel easy subscribe, Im just getting back into jrpg's nice to know whats coming up, Working on my trails backlog now, but i'm excited for FF16

[@chronofantasy1987]

Holy crap, if all these games including FF7 rebirth actually come out in 2023, it will become one of the best year for RPGs in quite sometime.

[@shard_the_sage1320]

Excellent list even saw a few I didn't know about! I do want to mention Sacrifire by pixelated milk, they are also planning on 2023 release.

[@neogamer6461]

I am looking forward to One Piece Odyssey, Trails into Reverie, Stellar Blade, FFXVI, FF7 Rebirth, Nayuta Boundless Trails, and the Suikoden remasters. Next year is packed with JRPGs. Still trying to finish Star Ocean Divine Force. I'll finish it next week. Thanks for all you do in delivering JRPG news.

[@NooshTheMonkey]

Man that sucks to hear and I think we can all be glad your on the up! Where there is sunshine must come the rain and storm so I'm glad you managed to pull through it. Look forward to 2023!

[@cabssoprano]

Thanks for another great video. I'm gonna have to watch it again later to takes notes on the ones that really stand out to me (besides Trails that is of course!). All I can say right now is that my wallet is crying lol

[@sabrinaarthur9125]

Thanks for the info on the games to look forward to next year,

[@thecognitiverambler8911]

Thank you for the list TKN! Oh my word we're going to be eating good in 2023. My standouts: 1. Sea of Stars - this just looks to me like a game that stand to be a masterpiece, and my single most anticipated title. 2. Trails into Reverie - I'm a Trails fan first and foremost and ready for more! (Already played through Zero and Ao) 3. Octopath 2 - Loved the first one, I'm sure I'll love the second. 4. Eiyuden Chronicle - Similar to Sea of Stars, this just looks like it has every reason to be a massive success. 5. Suikoden I and II - Masterpieces each of which I've beaten numerous times already. VERY ready to play them both again - in their new forms! P.S. - If you haven't added Chained Echoes to your backlog I HIGHLY recommend it! Cheers~

[@TheKisekiNut]

I've seen a LOT of love for Chained Echoes - it was on my wish list anyway, so looks like it's something I'll be playing eventually!

[@NathanYoungLibrary]

​@@TheKisekiNut Literally came back to this video just now to mention Chained Echos. Been playing it today on Gamepass and it has all the makings of a great, only a couple hours in.

[@patojuarez5340]

Thanks for the update man. Persona, fire emblem and suikoden are My most wanted

[@joeb2588]

The day I watch an "upcoming RPG" video and see Ys 1 coming to Switch...that's gonna be a good day.

[@keiyangoshin3650]

Clear, simple, straightforward and direct information. Excellent! Thank you for this video. 👍

[@r1ckNz]

I'm really looking forward mostly for Fire Emblem Engage, Fairy Fencer F and Granblue Fantasy Relink from the list, but also Baldur's Gate 3 and Redemption Reapers.

[@realtayo42]

Glad to have you back. Also, internal screaming for Ryza 3, Azure, Reverie, and 100 heroes

[@nickwick35]

Man, there's lots to look forward to! I'm excited to see lots of turn based games coming out too. Really looking forward to Fire Emblem and Fairy Fencer.

[@ShadowLibrarian]

Next year seems to be packed I can't think of another year that I've ever want to buy that many games at least 10 of what you mentioned I want.

[@andybonsu3130]

Grand blue fantasy relink has been in development for so many years now. I hope they release it next year.

[@gilded_lady]

My backlog: *waves* Me: *keeps finding new games to add* P4G is planned, Trails Azure/Reverie, Eiyuden Chronicls and Loop 8 are all preordered. Digimon, One Piece, Monta, Suikiden are all calling me too.

[@josephfernandez8015]

It’s amazing how stacked January is of all months. I’ll probably get everything except P4G and Monster hunter (already have)

[@Comrade_C]

welcome back mate 🔥

[@rifa_atsume]

So many games I'm looking forward to! Thanks for the video ♥

[@andybonsu3130]

Grand blue fantasy relink is my most anticipated game for next year

[@nickmaestro]

Adding to my backlog: Persona 3 and 4, Trails to Azure, Trails into Reverie, Legend of Nayuta, FFVII Rebirth, Suikoden I and II

[@lukasaraujo3662]

I’ve personally never played Danganroppa, but the art style alone made me excited for Master Detective Archives: Raincode (that’s a mouthful)

[@alannhingrai9632]

I Guess 2023 will be an amazing year for jrpgs

[@isamuu99]

Another INCREDIBLY good video from the man with the master plan. Great content brother. Keep 'em coming :)

[@jervey123]

one of the most highly anticipated RPG game for decades is releasing next year and it isn't even listed, y'know this little D&D game called "baldur's gate 3?" or never heard of it?

[@mrsocko316]

I had no idea Grim Grimoire had something coming out for it this year, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to ff7: Rebirth, Suikoiden 1 and 2 remastered, Eiyuden Chronicles, and Sea of Stars myself.

[@KisekiFan]

Damn man nice to see you back and thanks for the list, alot to look forward to. I already played Azure with the Geofront Patch but it would be nice to give the game another go with the official localization and then the real hype for me Reverie. Persona 3, heck yea, really wanna play as the FeMC, also i thought Persona 4 Golden was already released on PC, whats the difference with this? Same with Agarest War. Honestly Grand Blue Fantasy was delayed alot, hope the wait is worth it, its a pity all FF titles coming out are only for the PS but i dont mind the wait if it means SQ can have the time to properly optimize it for the PC. There are 2 games i wish for a remake or remaster, Breath of Fire 1-4 and Legend of Dragoon.

[@TheKisekiNut]

Indeed Golden is already on PC - I think it's the same version as the one being ported to consoles. Agarest is also on PC, not sure how the Switch version will be changed though.

[@Llortnerof]

Nayuta is also already on PC. And i certainly wouldn't say no to those remakes either, but sadly Capcom seems to hate the BoF series.

[@TheShadyElf]

Welcome back!

[@yagirlsfavoritedominican]

Welcome back!!

[@Suikojunkie]

Fantastic list thank you!

[@dannysimion]

Wow...!! So many titles to look forward to this year and within the first three months of the year. So wanting to get Trails of Azure!! Woohoo!

[@3S_rpg]

Thank you for the video! I'm surprised that there are so many games to look forward to! I think I'm most excited for Blue Protcol and Atelier Ryza 3! The Like a Dragon games are also looking pretty good as well.

[@riph-a]

Year 2023 is looking great for RPG lovers.. Hopefully everything is as scheduled, and those without release date yet can be released ASAP. I have a feeling Suikoden Remaster gonna have similar release date to Eiyuden..

[@zerohbeat]

Can't wait for Disgaea 7 at the end of January hehe, already ordered it and Ryza 3 :D. Next year will have a lot of great games!

[@ophidianmind333]

There is a lot to look forward to that has been announced in the upcoming year, though I am still holding onto some small hope that Atlus will bring Shin Megami Tensei IV to modern consoles as part of the SMT 35th anniversary.

[@pite9]

Hoy!

[@ritsuko89]

I probably will pick Persona 4 Golden, Trails into Reverie and Fire Emblem Engage (I even pre-ordered the standard version of Fire Emblem Engage). I had lots of game to play, but that's the price I had to play for buying Nintendo Switch.

[@shutup1037]

Ishin, FFXVI, GBF and BP for me Some less known one like eternights are interesting

[@n3r0n3]

mato anomalies looks interesting! I don't know much about Prime matter games or Arrowz but I get a clear AI Somnium/Spike Chumsoft vibe

[@bimochitarrista]

And one more games, there is Tactical RPG too is called Redemption Reapers..it's look great IMO

[@MrValgard]

nice never heard of mato anomalies even tracking news thx!

[@mohammedalboori9162]

I like the atelier workshop music on the background :p

[@Sikthy]

Man next year is packed with so much i think gonna need a bigger wallet or multiple

[@BarokaiRein]

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty also comes out in couple of months. PC,Xbox. PS4, PS5 and shows up on gamepass day 1 so for me the gamepass already paid itself back for the coming year.

[@Moffattt]

i havent seen anyone talk about the game chained echoes. its a really good jrpg. its one of the betetr games ive played in 2022. any turn based fans should check this game out as its on gamepass and steam. edit: seems some comments were made before mine lmao

[@pichaelthompson]

I just hope story of seasons: a wonderful life doesn’t change the music from the original

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

>literally showing relink >automatic like Maybe if I obsess over everything involving it, it will FINALLY FUCKING COME OUT ALREADY!

[@xleaselife]

Man, I really need to get cracking on Trails. I'm at the beginning of Azure, and then I have the entirety of Cold Steel to play before Reverie comes out.

[@DaddyGamerDiaries]

So glad to have you back with a new video. I'm absolutely thrilled for 2023. It will start out with a bang with One Piece Odyssey and Fire Emblem Engage. Games I never got to play being ported with Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Tales of Symphonia Remastered! More lovely thighs that save lives! Octopath Traveler II trailers are making me salivate over that full OST. Three God Damn Trails Localizations!!!!! Bagging waifus to sire your heirs in Agarest, yes please. More Vanillaware remasters of beautiful 2D artwork!!! Even the games I didn't really know anything about look fascinating - that Mato mystery game and Eternights look surprisingly good. And yes, Stellar Blade, truly fantastic culture in that game. Happy to have you back! Sorry the English were knocked out of the Cup, you deserved the win over France.

[@Nikita_Akashya]

I rewatched this on thursday to make a list with all the RPGs I'm buying next year. With some of them habving to wait, because I can't even make the time to play what I already have. But at least I have a list now. Just need to wait for the dates. So many great RPGs coming out next year. And lots of great Anime too. 2023 seems to be a great year for RPG and Anime fans. I'm also really excited for the Cold Steel Anime. You should totally watch that one. It seems to fill the gap between CS 2 and CS 3. I'll be binging after playing Cold Steel 2.

[@barongeoffrey75]

Since Trails into reverie and Trails of azure are released to the west next year i hope Kuro will follow the year after. I 'm still puzzled Kuro 2 is realesed in Japan before Kuro 1 in the west.

[@jclosed2516]

We are seriously lagging behind in the west. It's 3 games already at this very moment (4 if you also count Azure). Sure those Crossbell has been done also, and that would also take resources and time, but they had the advantage that these games already had a relatively decent translation by those Geofront guy's. That must have shortened the development time at least a little. Anyway - I really do not hope that Kuro will take another several years to come to the west. let's hope those game will both be released end 2023, or somewhere in 2024.

[@shaun2566]

P4g has already been on pc for a while btw.

[@BenBom2013]

Welcome back, there are just too many game to play next year, both JRPG and non-JRPG. It is unlikely most of the JRPG on the list i will buy right away, but these will be top of the list, no matter what, Ryza 3, trail into reverie and maybe FF16, if i get PS5 next year. I am planning to buy some game on Christmas sale, like FF7 remake, Ys9 (last YS to play) and atelier sophie (if it go on sale), plus I bought 13 sentinels (switch version) on black Friday deal to play through. The game I am most looking forward is non-JRPG Legend of zelda: tear of the kingdom, so hype for it!

[@totalrko]

So, regarding Trails of Reverie , its the final game I think but are the games that you need to play also available on ps4/5? I don't really know how Sony does it with ps4 and ps5 games, since I will get my end of january. Can I still play PS4 games on my PS5? Since I got a lot of those niche games on ps4 and would like to pick them up on ps5 again. And do I need any prior games to play Of Azure?

[@abrahamlupis9354]

now to think which ones to get physical if is possible

[@geminilius]

I wonder if they will remaster suikoden 3 as well, since there is a save transfer from 1 to 2 to 3 in the originals

[@Fresh_Andrew]

Bruh, next year looks amazing. I can't wait to start the year with more Ryza and later on in the year i will be playing Suikoden 1 and 2.

[@ry2950]

2023 is stacked with games from all genres. We are going to eat good! (unless it has as many delays as 2022).

[@jimkirk2527]

Trails and Suikoden -> Year done 😄

[@Javetts]

of these 35 games, how many of them are remakes/remasters?

[@AntiRiku]

beyond excited for stellar blade, it looks amazing

[@bamban_garcia5562]

Stellar Blade does not deserve to be on this list though since its a story driven action adventure not a jrpg, arpg or a tactical rpg

[@MissMaryanne1]

Looking forward to Tales of Symphonia, Atelier, Pixel Remasters (again), Octopath Traveller II, Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ^.^

[@xneutralgodx]

Grim grimoire coming back holy spirit that is amazing ...... FINALLY

[@user-kh1ro6wv3t]

If Octopath Traveler 2 mix the old characters with the new ones later down the game that will be Epic.

[@cjvaans4484]

Good to see more games coming for the PS4. Sucks that FF7R part 2 won't coming to the old console. Oh well, as long as there still games to play, I am not in the rush to get a PS5.

[@campaign6574]

Stellar blade looks promising.

[@flikkie72]

Trinity trigger sounds cool

[@HybridAngelZero]

Looks like 2023 is gonna be another banger in the world of RPGs. Switch seems to be the standard bearer for RPGs now, but it is nice to see Xbox making a decent showing, too

[@hendribadaya8814]

Can't wait for Suikoden and Eiyuden Chronicles

[@HalifaxHercules]

Looking forward to Dragon Quest III 2D-HD, Suikoden 1 and 2 remake, Ys 10, and Final Fantasy 16. Too bad there was never a Legend of Zelda or "Zelda II - The Adventure of Link" remake.

[@MFDOOOOM]

The timestamps have a ton of missed games FYI

[@Suzakuux]

Lots of games on here I'm really looking forward to, at the top would probably be Like a Dragon: Ishin, been waiting for it to come west since I saw the Japanese version. It's also a remake of the original game, not a remaster. FFXVI is looking incredible, can't wait to play it. Lots of love for Trails fans in 2023 as well. So happy seeing Front Mission come back, it's my favorite SRPG series. Where is Forspoken on this list? It's an RPG too. While I don't believe Stellar Blade is an RPG, it's an action game with more in common with DMC or Bayonetta.

[@koladearasanmi2005]

Jrpg fan are eating well next year

[@seanbcusack]

what happened to Trinity Trigger and Redemption Reapers ?

[@TheKisekiNut]

Trinity Trigger is on the list, Redemption Reapers didn't have that JRPG feel so I didn't include it.

[@Spacefrisian]

Oh wow, Agarest on Switch. Thats nice.

[@marc-ap4699]

We are still eating so good in 2023 ! RIP wallet ! I'm very hype for Wo Long in March ! ( I like to call it Nioh3 ;D )

[@TheKisekiNut]

Yeah, there are some pretty cool looking RPGs from other Asian countries on the way! I didn't include them here (since you know, JRPG mostly), but I've kept an eye on a couple.

[@mafiadvd8946]

those TBD status is worrying me, i think some of them will be pushed back another year

[@kekgoogle4809]

good stuff as usual tkn!

[@Terranigma23]

Have you tried the indie jrpg "Chained Echoes". It's so good. 😁

[@TheKisekiNut]

I intend to! Been playing something else the last couple of weeks that's taken all my time up gaming wise.

[@miorionomichi]

Im interested the most for Agarest War but its not on PS4 😩

[@TaiketsuG]

Damn after saying so often p4, ps5 etc. u sure gotta have it said enough for a while no XD? First off ty for the nice infos and so far im looking forward to the 2 trails games, Ryza 3 (sad to see Ryza on her last adventure but it was great

[@TheKisekiNut]

It did take a little bit of effort not to trip over the words!

[@jdivund]

Even after hearing all of this, I’m still coming to terms that we might never get a Tokyo Xanadu Sequel

[@Kekorock1]

I think the devs did mention an interest in returning to that series in an interview like a year ago but that they wanted to focus on Ys and Trails for now.

[@TyandOnGoing]

Most hyped for fire emblem engage, one piece odyssey, and sea of stars. Love colorful games with a vibrant cast.

[@theyeahitsusboys]

I'm gonna be reaaaal busy next year
