Upcoming PS5 And PS4 Games
2022 has concluded, and the year kept PlayStation owners busy. The year produced games like Elden Ring, Gran Turismo 7, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, all titles that garnered critical acclaim.

PS5 & PS4 Games Coming Out In April 2023
In April, PS5 and PS4 owners have quite a few things they can try out. Capcom has released Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, a compilation containing all 10 games released in the franchise. It should be noted that only six games are truly unique since four entries in the series received dual releases similar to Pokemon. Adapting the popular platform franchise for an RPG format, Mega Man Battle Network had an enjoyable run on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, with each game offering close to 20 hours of content.
PS5 owners who loved Horizon Forbidden West have the Burning Shores expansion to look forward to, which is set to take place in this universe’s version of Los Angeles. April also includes Dead Island 2, and the long-awaited open-world sequel is also set in the City of Angels, along with San Francisco. Last but not least, the month will be ending with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the Souls-like sequel to Fallen Order.

PS5 & PS4 Games Coming Out In May 2023
Although still taking shape, May 2023 already has a couple of noteworthy releases. Paradox Interactive’s Age of Wonders 4 has confirmed that it will be coming to consoles, following in the footsteps of 2019’s Planetfall. The franchise is well respected as a member of the 4X turn-based strategy genre.
Ys 9: Monstrum Nox is set to be ported to the PS5, granting owners a next-gen option if they would rather play that than the PS4 release. Anyone who prefers turn-based RPGs should keep an eye on Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2, especially since CyberConnect2’s first game garnered a positive reception. Amnesia: The Bunker is the next entry in Frictional Games’ first-person horror franchise, and the game takes place during World War 1.

PS5 & PS4 Games Coming Out In June 2023
So far, June is shaping up to be the biggest month of 2023 in terms of releases. PlayStation 5 owners will have a few major AAA to select from, and they cover quite a few different genres, so there should be something for just about everyone. June will start with Street Fighter 6, and the next entry in Capcom’s fighting game franchise has been building up steam in recent months. While Street Fighter 5 garnered a somewhat mixed reception at launch, the title’s core gameplay was generally well-received; therefore, the sequel has very strong foundations to build on.
Just a few days after Street Fighter 6, Blizzard will launch Diablo 4, which will almost certainly be among the most popular action RPGs of 2023. The game’s open beta gave players a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming project. June 2023 should be, overall, an exciting month for the RPG genre. Besides Diablo 4, The Elder Scrolls Online will also release its next expansion, Necrom. The MMORPG has a good track record when it comes to DLC, and there is little to suggest that Necrom will ruin that trend. Last but not least, Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 16 will also launch toward the end of June 2023, and the entry looks set to continue the JRPG series’ real-time action era.

PS5 & PS4 2023 Games With A Post-March Release Date Or No Exact Date
Some of the most hyped games currently in development have yet to give an exact release date for 2023.

Titles such as The Wolf Among Us 2, Bloodlines 2, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Ghostrunner 2 are also targeting 2023 releases.

Major Games In Development With A Post-2023 Debut Or No Release Year
As games spend years in development, plenty of projects are known to be in the works but have yet to announce anything resembling a release year. While it is not completely out of the question that some of these titles could be released in 2023, the developers have not given any indication of that being the case.
Death Stranding 2, Slitterhead, Assassin’s Creed Infinity, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 are some of the biggest games in the works, all of which will attract plenty of attention once they debut. Most of these titles are presumably a few years away, although there is always a chance they could be announced in 2022. Some other massive titles are Kingdom Hearts 4, Grand Theft Auto 6, Judas, and The Elder Scrolls 6.

Rumored PS5 & PS4 Games
Rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt; that said, speculating about what unrevealed titles are secretly in development for the PS5 can be a lot of fun. While nothing has been confirmed, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, Grand Theft Auto 6, and Marvel Spider-Man 2 are fairly safe bets.
With the PS5 picking up momentum, rumors have started making the rounds as people begin to speculate on what games they would love to see make an appearance on the console. Could these releases take the form of long-overdue sequels? Much needed remakes? Or could there be some new IP in the works that will become the new GTA?
