Look, it’s been an extremely busy few weeks for games. We’ve all found our free time stretched as massive AAA releases and interesting new indies alike poured onto the shelves. This is all compounded by the fact that Elden Ring doesn’t appear to conclude, its campaign instead stretching into infinity.
This is why it’s nice to see the week in games ahead will be a bit quieter, and threatening to the wallet.
March 8
WWE 2K22 (Deluxe Edition) (PS5, XSX, PC, PS4, XBO)
Ok, look, this one is just for those who’ve preordered the WWE 2K22 Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. You can have it a few days early. The actually release date is further down, so we’ll talk about it down there.
March 10
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok (PS5, XSX, PC, PS4, XBO)
Believe it or not, the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla content is still coming. Set in Valhalla‘s real of the gods, the DLC follows Eivor on a new quest to understand their place in the pantheon. After years of AC titles being an annual churn-out, it’s kind of nice to see one get such a long tail. Are you still keen for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or are you done with it now?
Aztech: Forgotten Gods (PS5, XSX, PC, NS, PS4, XBO)
Chocobo GP (NS)
It’s Mario Kart but with little chocobos.
Mighty Fight Federation (NS)
Potato Flowers In Full Bloom (PC, NS)
Honestly, just a ripper title. Incredible name for a video game.
RPG Time: The Legend of Wright (XSX, PC, XBO)
Virtuoso (PC, VR)
I’m a sucker for a good rhythm game so you know this is going on my To Play list. Interesting pitch, a bit of a funny trailer, but the interactivity looks fun. Keen.
Young Souls (PC, NS, PS4, XBO)
March 11
.hack/G.U. Last Recode (NS)
This one’s been coming for a few years now, which is funny because it came out on the PS4 about 4 years ago. .hack fans know exactly what they’re getting into, and hopefully this will tide them over until the series returns with a new instalment.
WWE 2K22 (For Real This Time) (PS5, XSX, PC, PS4, XBO)
Ok, this is the actual release date for WWE 2K22. After WWE 2K20 launched in a dire state, 2K put the series on ice for a year while it looked for ways to improve things. A new executive producer in place, and a host of new systems, the hope is that the WWE franchise’s worst years are behind it. Let us know what you think.
