Wanting to know what brand new arcade games are hitting the market? Stay up-to-date with this comprehensive list of arcade releases for the 2013 calendar year. This includes games already released starting in January 2013 and those which have been hinted at a release by their parent companies. Note that the arcade industry behaves much differently from their console cousins. Often a game is only announced when it is available to purchase, so what you see below is not an indication of all content currently in development for the arcade scene.
I have split it up by regions (Asia/Europe/United States) where we most often hear about releases. Asia has a larger list of announced titles partly because companies there will usually announce new games months in advance whereas in markets such as Europe and the US they tend to wait until the game is very close to being released(or in some cases, until after it has seen a release). If you see any errors on the list, please let us know!
If you want to find one of these games near you then you can check up with the following websites which track current arcade locations. They may not have the newest games listed yet, as those have to be added to each site by users or administrators but they are usually pretty good at keeping up-to-date.
