The Axe of the Blood God’s Big Ol’ 2023 RPG Preview

Happy New Year! 2023's launch also marks the launch of new RPGs. Like, lots of RPGs. This is going to be a busy, busy year.

Episode Notes

Happy New Year! 2023’s launch also marks the launch of new RPGs. Like, lots of RPGs. This is going to be a busy, busy year. Kat, Nadia, and Eric go over their most anticipated titles for the upcoming 365 days, and also take a few stabs at industry predictions. Take score while you listen, then throw every wrong prediction back in the team’s face when the year comes to a close! It’ll be fun! More fun than scrabbling around for edible rat bits, or whatever else waits for us this year. Here are some of the questions we answer as look ahead to 2023!

  • Will Square Enix release Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2023? Kat says no!
  • How big will Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy be?
  • Can Final Fantasy XVI reverse the franchise’s fortunes?
  • Will we ever see Kat again after Starfield is released?
  • Can The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom live up to Breath of the Wild?
  • Will we be surprised by Eiyuden Chronicles, Sea of Stars, and She Dreams Elsewhere?
  • And much more!

Thank you for your continued support of Axe of the Blood God! When it all goes downhill, you’ll be the first ones we share our edible rat bits with.

Are We Past the Golden Age of RPGs? Or Are We Living In It?

When you think of the "RPG Golden Age," what comes to mind? The SNES, certainly--who can deny the brilliance of Chrono Trigger? (Except for Eric Van Allen, who has been banished to the Naughty Step to think about what he said.) But what if we're living in the Golden...
