Hogwarts Legacy and Atomic Heart are the most anticipated games of February 2023

The new year is proceeding at full speed with a February that could be memorable, which is reflected in the election of the most anticipated games of february 2023: it is about Hogwarts Legacy And Atomic Heart, two titles that already promise a lot even by themselves. It wasn’t easy to choose from a rich offer like the one that characterizes the month that has just started, although, to tell the truth, there is one title that attracts attention more than all the others, even for the less passionate and attentive public . We are obviously talking about Hogwarts Legacy, which also judging by the pre-sales now seems destined to dominate the videogame panorama of this early 2023 as only a real event can do.

However, the monthly lineup is still wide, varied and very interesting even for those who are not necessarily a fan of Harry Potter and his universe. In fact, this year seems to have started off on the right foot and could reserve excellent things for all the platforms on the market, and February only confirms the excellent sensations that have already emerged in the previous month.

Also in this case we have a good assortment of experiences and productions ranging from new intellectual properties to sequels, up to more or less unexpected conversions and to keep an eye on: therefore there is certainly little to get bored in the coming weeks. Let’s see what the editors’ and readers’ choices were on the most awaited game of the month that has just begun.

The most awaited by the editorial staff

It was obviously a fight to the last vote, but ultimately in the poll of the editorial board somewhat surprisingly, Atomic Heart prevailed. The curiosity for this title is really great and starts from afar: when it was presented for the first time, this strange “Soviet BioShock” seemed almost an impossible game, given the great quality, the strange overview and the surrounding mystery ( and in some respects still surrounds) the Russian development team Mundfish. There were also suspicions about the actual existence and state of health of the project, which at one point touched vaporware status, but all this has only increased curiosity and expectation for this strange project. At this point it is almost time to see him in complete form, so it was difficult not to place Atomic Heart at the top of the February 2023 watch list.

It goes without saying that the challenger, who finished in second place by a hair’s breadth, is right Hogwarts Legacy. The game on the Wizarding World is preparing to hit the market with all the weight of an event of great importance, capable of resonating even outside the restricted videogame sphere, given the license to which it refers. It is one of the major titles of the year and, numbers in hand, it already seems projected towards important results on the market, not to mention that it is practically a dream come true for all those who are fans of Rowling’s works.

To close the podium there is a tie between Like a Dragon: Ishin and Horizon Call of the Mountain, which promises great things in the VR field, with Returnal on PC following a short distance, together with Company of Heroes 3.

The most awaited by readers

On the other hand, the result of the survey addressed to the Multiplayer.it readers: the victory of Hogwarts Legacy here is overwhelming, enough to cancel any debate. The game on the Wizarding World won 49% of the votes, thus obtaining an impressive advantage over all the others, demonstrating which title will characterize the month that has just begun for the most part. With release set for next week, February 10, 2023, the open world promises to immerse us in the world of Hogwarts and its surroundings like never before in videogame form, which could be the wish fulfillment of many fans of wizards of the Rowling. Here too, the other most important title is Atomic Heart, but finds itself second at a great distance from the top.

Mundfish’s strange first-person shooter, which seems to have almost immersive sim elements, can only fascinate anyone thanks to its bizarre dystopian setting, but evidently it can do little against the magic of Harry Potter and his companions.

In any case, it is clear how these two titles are the most prominent in a month of February which in any case also has a lot more to offer: the third position is in fact distant and has obtained the same votes as the classic choice “none”, which demonstrates how after the first two titles the others are of interest to decidedly smaller numbers of players. In any case, closing the podium is Like a Dragon: Ishin!, which finally offers the digression to the historical setting of Yakuza/Like a Dragon also in the West, with Octopath Traveler 2 following close behind.
