Every year, game manufacturers announce many games, but very few of them are able to be launched as scheduled. Most games will experience delays, and some of them have been delayed several times for several years. Of course, no matter how the ticket is delayed, unless it jumps directly to the dropped one, it will eventually go online. In 2023, many PC games that have been around for several years will be launched. Let’s take a look at them.
"Lost Ark" national server
Launch date: 2023
Players who pay attention to PC games are definitely familiar with "Lost Ark". After all, this is the most popular MMORPG game in recent years. The national server of "Lost Ark" is represented by Tencent. However, due to some well-known reasons, the national server has not been launched since there is no version number. However, it is worth celebrating that in the version number document released in December 2022, "Lost Ark" "Ark of Destiny" was renamed "Ark of Destiny" and officially received its version number. Officials also stated that the national server will be officially launched in 2023. After being represented by Tencent for seven years, there is finally news!

Players who can't wait for the Chinese server can choose to go to the Taiwan server to experience it first.
"Diablo 4"
Launch date: June 6, 2023
When it comes to Blizzard's "Diablo" series, I believe that few players will not know it. Even if they have not played the game, they have heard about the name "Diablo" from around them and from other people's mouths. From "Diablo" in 1996 to "Diablo 2" in 2000, Blizzard used two games to create the most classic game series in the history of games.
Although "Diablo 3" was criticized by many players when it was released in 2012, it is undeniable that "Diablo 3" is also a successful game. Now, 11 years later, the latest game in the series, "Diablo 4", will be officially released on June 6, 2023.
After experiencing the disaster of "Don't you have a mobile phone?", Blizzard continues to focus players' attention again with new hot spots. Therefore, at the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard directly announced the news of "Diablo 4".
"Diablo 4" retains the essence of the series and will present exciting battles and various eerie monsters. Players can also search for legendary loot, experience endless playability and continue to grow. Players can embark on exciting adventures in various parts of the land, with unique ecologies and dangerous new enemies.
The story background of "Diablo 4" takes place several years in the future after the events of "Diablo 3" and the actions of the High Sky and the Fiery Hell that caused the massacre of millions of people. "Lilith, the daughter of hatred and the creator of Sanctuary" came back to the world and extended her evil claws to the people of Sanctuary, allowing the worst side in the hearts of all residents to grow stronger and stronger, making The world has become dark and hopeless.
At the same time, this "Diablo 4" game will support the PVP system, and the trading system between players will also return. The game also supports customized appearance and mount system, and the classic talent tree and rune language system will also return.
"VALORANT"
Launch date: 2023
Although Riot Games' "Fearless Contract" is not very popular in China because it does not have a national server. However, it is definitely one of the most popular shooting games on the Internet, and there should be many domestic players competing on foreign servers. Now that the game has finally received a version number, it also means that the Chinese server is finally confirmed and can be launched online.
"Fearless Contract" is a 5v5 tactical FPS game that emphasizes the personality of the characters. The game is set on the future earth, where all characters will be collectively called "agents", and all designs are based on the culture and regional characteristics of the real world. Each "agent" in the game has its own special ability and will play its greatest role in corresponding special situations.
The mission of the agents in "Fearless Contract" is to use their own abilities to solve the huge crisis that the world is about to destroy. The current version of "Fearless Contract" has a total of 11 heroes. We can only play 5 of them initially. The other heroes need to be unlocked through game play.
The core mechanism of "Fearless Contract" is almost the same as traditional CS. From buying guns to the economic system; from purchasing packages to attacking and defending, basically everything you can play in CS can be played in "Fearless Contract". The biggest difference from the CS series is the "hero skills". After adding "skills" to every element of CSGO, more possibilities naturally arise.
The map mechanism of "Fearless Contract" is also very similar to CSGO, both are "multi-point and multi-line maps". The biggest difference lies in two points. One is that some maps have three package points; the other is that each map does not have a "penalty station time" at the beginning. Instead, both parties can run to the map points at the beginning and wait for the game to start.
"Crimson Desert"
Launch date: 2023
When it comes to PearlAbyss, a Korean game company, some players may be unfamiliar with it. If you mention the action game "Black Desert" developed by PearlAbyss, I believe many people have heard of it. After the success of "Black Desert" and huge profits, PearlAbyss started the development of new games, the most anticipated of which is "Red Desert".
"Red Desert" is an epic fantasy MMORPG that describes the battle for survival among mercenaries in the vast Paiyue Continent. The game has realistic game characters and is developed by development director Zheng Huanqing (transliteration) and Li Chengyu, an action designer who has been responsible for the actions of "C9". The game has been developed since the second half of 2018 and is PearlAbyss’ next-generation flagship MMORPG.
"Red Desert" combines narrative-driven single-player and multiplayer elements to describe the battle for survival among mercenaries in the vast continent of Paiyue. Using the new next-generation engine launched by the studio, this game will provide high-fidelity graphics and game functions, as well as an immersive gaming experience
What’s more interesting is that the game positioning of “Red Desert” was initially an MMO online game, and then changed to a mode similar to “GTA5” at the end of 2020. The main body is a stand-alone game. After clearing the level, you can choose to play the online mode. If you want to pass this Ways to speed up game launch. However, as the later games were delayed again, after about two years of technical upgrades, MMO is now possible again, so the game has returned to its original direction and returned to MMORPG.
In a sense, the behavior of bouncing tickets allows this game to maintain its original flavor. Players can also play the MMORPG "Red Desert", which can be regarded as a coincidence.
"The Day Before"
Launch date: March 2, 2023
Players who like to develop apocalyptic survival games should be looking forward to the game "Doomsday". This open-world survival game has attracted the attention of a large number of players after it was first released. After all, this game integrates It contains many elements that can excite players, such as open world, survival, zombie fighting, PVP confrontation, etc.
Unfortunately, this game has also been delayed many times. Now the official has once again announced that the game will be released on March 2, 2023, and also disclosed the configuration requirements of the game. It should be that there will be no further delays.
"Doomsday" is an open-world survival online game set in a murderous United States after the epidemic, where cannibalistic infected people are rampant and survivors are killing them for food, weapons, and vehicles. You wake up alone in an unrecognizable world and set out to find answers and resources to survive.
In "The Day Before", infected people who have turned into zombies and the few survivors will fight to the death for food, weapons, and cars. The game is set in the United States, which has been devastated by infectious diseases. In the game, players have to fight for survival. In the game, players can search abandoned cars, houses, and high-rise buildings to find useful resources. However, in the process, you must not only defeat the infected who hinder the search, but also defeat other players who are also looking for limited resources.
"Path of Exile 2"
Launch date: 2023
As mentioned above, Blizzard used two "Diablo" games to create one of the most classic game series in gaming history, and at the same time created a new game type. Since then, many game manufacturers have begun to imitate the gameplay of "Diablo" and have launched their own works. The most famous one is probably "Path of Exile" developed by Grinding Gear Games.
However, as time goes by, "Path of Exile" has undoubtedly gradually become an old game. Therefore, at the Exile Carnival in 2019, developer Grinding Gear Games announced the news of "Path of Exile 2".
Through previous live demonstrations, the visual effects of "Path of Exile 2" impressed players deeply. The graphics and movements are not only delicate, but developer Grinding Gear Games has also made many improvements. Characters and enemies will move in slightly different ways depending on the situation. Combat also leaves concrete scars on the environment, especially after intense combat, which leaves behind piles of charred corpses and broken bones. In addition, new story and skill systems in Path of Exile 2 are designed to eliminate early frustration and improve retention for new players.
After the announcement of "Path of Exile 2", officials also stated that they expected to start beta testing in the second half of 2020. However, this is obviously a pie of nothingness. It is already 2022, and the test still does not know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
But on the other hand, with the announcement of Blizzard's "Diablo 4" and the confirmation of its release time. Obviously Grinding Gear Games is also feeling the pressure. After all, the launch of "Diablo 4" will definitely affect the operation of "Path of Exile". The launch of "Path of Exile 2" is a very good countermeasure. I believe that in 2023 we will You should be able to see this game.
"Payday 3"
Launch date: 2023
"Payday 2" is a shooting game that many players should have played. The creative robbery gameplay is still very attractive. However, the game released in 2013 is undoubtedly an antique now. In fact, since developer Starbreeze bought back the IP copyright of the Payday series from 505 in May 2016, Starbreeze has made it clear to the outside world the development of "Payday 3".
Although "Payday 3" has been announced as early as 2016, the development process of the game has not been smooth. After all, we have not played it yet. In 2017, it was officially announced that Valhalla was an immature game engine and was not suitable for the development of free exploration games for players. Subsequently, the production team abandoned the engine on March 19, 2021 and switched to Unreal. 4 engines.
At the E3 exhibition in June 2021, "Payday 3" met players for the first time, showing that New York is the background of the game story. The original four characters returned. Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolf were pushed out of retirement by old acquaintances. Returned to a life of crime.
In January 2023, developer Starbreeze once again released the latest promotional video of "Payday 3" and announced that the Steam store page of this game is now online. I believe we should be able to play this game in 2023.

"Animal Party" is an independent game developed by the domestic team Recreate. It is targeted at multiplayer casual action. Players will play the role of fluffy and chubby animal dolls and use map features and weapons and props to fight.

The game once launched a DEMO trial version in 2020. The popularity of the trial version can be said to be very popular, even catching up with "Fall Bean Man" in popularity. The peak number of people online on Steam exceeded 135,000, and it was once ranked the fourth most popular game on Steam in the world. When the trial version ended, many players left messages expecting the official to launch the official version as soon as possible.
However, what people never expected was that in the next two years, the game was not officially launched, and the development team has been polishing the game. Many players have even wondered whether the game has been dead and completely gone.
Previously in 2022, "Animal Party" officially updated the game development log 05. According to the introduction in the log, the game has entered the final stage of development. Later, foreign media TGA broke the news that "Animal Party" is expected to be released in the first half of 2023.

According to the news, the game’s release date is June 30, 2023, and the price is a bit scary, as high as 171.79 yuan. However, it seems that the possibility of placeholder is higher at present.
"Dead Island 2"
Launch date: April 28, 2023
If you want to count down the ill-fated game works today, "Dead Island 2" will definitely rank high among them. This game has experienced frequent accidents since it was first released in 2014. Either the production team was changed to develop or the progress was stranded. Many players who were looking forward to "Dead Island 2" have given up hope and even asked the development team to concentrate on developing other games.

"The Forest" released in 2014 should be regarded as a masterpiece-level game in the minds of many players. With its free gameplay and exquisite graphics, "The Forest" has achieved very good results. Therefore, when the sequel "Children of the Forest" was announced at TGA 2019, many players were excited.
Now, after several years of waiting, "Children of the Forest" has also been announced to be released in February 2023. Long-awaited players can finally continue their survival adventure.
