2. Exoprimal
Release Date: July 14, 2023
Developed By: Capcom
Published By: Capcom
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
In this PvP and PvE shooter matchup, a dinosaur outbreak forces players to get inside their Exosuits to fight against hordes of dinosaurs while also collecting resources and fighting against other Exofighters for loot and glory. This is a rather ridiculous concept that Capcom is somehow pulling off, in a game that is not-so-Dino-Crisis that people asked for, but lets us shoot our guns at dinosaurs nonetheless. Hopefully, this new live-service game would at the very least be fun to play. Play with and against friends in this very unique take on the arena shooter genre. As an added bonus, Capcom is throwing in a collab event with Street Fighter 6 right off the bat when the game comes out! We're just not so sure if that's a good sign or a red flag…
1. Pikmin 4

Developed By: Nintendo
Published By: Nintendo
Platforms: Nintendo Switch
The latest in one of Nintendo's formerly niche but now emerging series Pikmin, more players will now get to know about the Pikmin experience, where players are a member of a rescue force sent to save an exploration force that got stranded on a mysterious planet. With the help of plant-like creatures called Pikmin, players will solve puzzles and explore the mysterious island, saving castaways and repairing their marooned space vessel. New in Pikmin 4 is the rescue pup Oatchi, a dog that will help the player fetch items and solve puzzles that Pikmin would usually have a hard time solving.
