Most anticipated game releases – August 2023

destructoid.com:

This year’s summer has been chock-a-block with incredible games from Final Fantasy XVI to Street Fighter 6, but things are starting to cool down with the August 2023 games lineup. There are still some great games like Sea of Stars and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the horizon. However, we can take a bit of a breather as most of these anticipated titles are fairly niche. Here’s everything you can expect from the August 2023 games release schedule.

The legendary studio behind Dark Souls and Elden Ring (From Software) is bringing back a mech favorite with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.  The Steam page claims it’s bringing the developer’s “signature action gameplay” into the mix with “fast-paced, omni-directional battles.” Each fight will be set in “massive stages,” and now with better graphical fidelity, the action will look even more intense and stunning. While there isn’t any Souls-like combat from this sequel, you can deeply customize your mech just how you’d like it.

Your judgment will impact your mech’s movement and even its battle style. The Steam page claims that “each mission can be approached with a unique mech strategy.” Something you’d expect from From Software is boss battles; this game comes with them in spades. Hopefully, this game lives up to the extremely high expectations of the developer’s huge fanbase after its 2022 magnum opus Elden Ring. From the pedigree alone, this is one of the most anticipated August 2023 games.
