Critical Path Forspoken
Luminous Productions’ first original IP is a fast-paced open world RPG adventure about a young woman called Frey, who is transported from New York City to the fantasy world of Athia and learns that she can use magic spells. It’s fairly rare to see an RPG from any company focus on a mage character as the default these days, and a studio having a go at it is enough to make us curious enough to check this game out when it launches. Well, that and the fact one of the characters is a talking bracelet called Cuff.

As we make plans for 2023, here are our highlights for the year ahead
2023 January PSVR2
The big new hardware launch of 2023 (aside from the latest Spectrum Next, which is hopefully on course for Q3) is Sony’s next gen VR headset, due for release on February 22nd for a shade more than it costs for a PlayStation 5 to power it. Sony sold more than five million PSVR headsets during its lifetime (to the tune of 116m PS4s), a number it no doubt hopes to improve on in the years ahead. With an estimated 15 million Quest 2’s in use, it’s hard to see Sony breaking Meta’s VR dominance, although if it does it could claim to be beating Xbox on two hardware fronts.

Women In Games Awards
The month of GDC (20–24th) and the London Games Festival (29th-April 4th) is already looking busy, but before you need to pack any bags we’ll be hosting the ninth annual Women In Games Awards, set to take place on Thursday 2nd March at a venue still to be decided (spoiler alert: it’ll be in London). Nominations are open right now and can be submitted via the website until well into the new year, which means you have no excuse not to put yourselves or your colleagues forward.
