Man...we can't even catch our breaths, can we? The entirety of 2023 has managed to overwhelm gamers with one of the best release slates of all time! Just last month, we got bangers in the form of Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, Lies of P, and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. And now, October is here to assault gamers' wallets with another round of highly anticipated launches for original IPs and beloved franchises. Marvel Comics' web-slinging hero is back with his fellow city savior in another open-world adventure, Sonic the Hedgehog & Mario are returning with retro 2D platformers, Alan Wake is making a long-awaited comeback in a survival horror setup, and we're even getting a celebratory Metal Gear Solid collection. We're going to detail all those games and so much more with this collection of the biggest October 2023 video game releases.
