It’s obviously too early because two of them aren’t out, but this year could shape up to be way up there for RPG fans if we get what we’re being advertised. Final Fantasy XVI is a significant step into action that’s been pretty well received, Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot people have already seen and looks like it may well be the next-generation standard for crpg open world games, and Starfield is a new IP that looks to me like it might be modernizing Bethesda gunplay in their trademark massive scale 3D open worlds.

If Bethesda isn’t completely blowing smoke we could very realistically have three absolutely huge different styled RPGs that are the new standards for their genres.
