Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2023 [NOMINATIONS OVER]

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for the coming year. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the winner was Free League's Blade Runner). Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), Trudvang Chronicles (2017), Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (2018), Savage Worlds Adventure Edition...

What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2023?

NOTE -- THE NOMINATION PHASE IS NOW OVER. GO HERE TO VOTE FOR THE WINNERS!

We do this at the end of every year, and have done for several years now! Here's how it works:

We start with a nomination stage. That's this thread. You may nominate any standalone tabletop RPG due to be released to the general public in 2023. All nominated games will appear on the final ballot. To nominate a game, simply make a reply in this thread. A few rules:
  1. It must be a standalone tabletop RPG, NOT a supplement, setting, adventure, sourcebook, expansion, or accessory. If there is a QuickStart version, or a preview, it’s the full release that counts.
  2. It must be due out to the general public in 2023. The important date is the date the general public can purchase the book. That's not Kickstarter fulfillment dates or pre-orders.
  3. It must be nominated by at least one person in this thread. Simply post the name of the game and the name of the publisher below to nominate it.
  4. You can nominate up to two games. It's not a contest to see who can list the most games!
  5. Nominations will remain open for two weeks, until December 19th. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.
  6. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.
  7. Include a link. Don't make me Google to try guess what you mean! No linky, no nommy.

Last year's winner was Blade Runner (pictured above). You can see last year's top 10 here. Sometimes products make it into the list in more than one year; what can I say? Product schedules slip!

Fantasy Age Core Rulebook (Green Ronin)- a new Envoy base class for social pillar specialists. Specializations at first level. Fixes to speed up combat. Owen K.C. Stephens in charge of the line.
Based on what I have heard, the game may end up alongside Savage Worlds, Honor + Intrigue, and Barbarians of Lemuria for my fantasy rpg needs.

Walking dead rpg by modiphius (kickstarter with predicted availability in Autumn 2023)
Edit: on rereading the link this is likely fulfilment so won't count.

I nominate Blade Runner, by Free League, given that it is December 5th and it does not seem to be out yet, or even at distributors, so a 2023 release seems likely. Blade Runner RPG

I already have my copy on my desk. Have had it for a month. I was a Kickstarter backer, but if physical copies have been released it probably shouldn't count. Edit: Whelp, I should read the rules. Not how I would have done it, but OK.
