On a more family-friendly note, The Super Mario Brothers Movie recently broke all kinds of records at the box office scoring a massive $204.6 million in its first 5-days of release. The show quickly gained critical acclaim and was praised by long-time fans of the franchise for its faithful devotion to the source material, whilst also gaining a whole new audience. In January, we saw the television adaptation of Naughty Dog’s 2013 post-apocalyptic survival game The Last of Us land on HBO, which debuted as the platform’s second-biggest series premiere in history.
It seems 2023 is shaping up to be a monumental year for millions of gamers across the globe - particularly for those partial to a good scare.
