Video Games Releasing in March 2023
In March, a new version of one of the best video games ever made will be released. Players will also be able to kill demons that are causing trouble in the Three Kingdoms, hit home runs as Jazz Chisholm Jr., and even break the law as Vanilla Ice. Here are some of the best new video games from March.
1. Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo
The Seven Mysteries of Honjo was announced by surprise in the latest Nintendo Direct, which was only shown in Japan. This game, made by Square Enix, is an original mystery-adventure game where players have to explore Tokyo’s scary Sumida Ward, which is full of deadly curses. You play as Shogo, an office worker who, just for fun, starts looking into the “Seven Mysteries of Honjo.” As soon as strange deaths start to happen, this quest falls apart, and the mysteries take on a life of their own. Paranormasight is a site to keep an eye on if you like old horror stories or visual novels.
2. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a new IP that is similar to Souls. It was made by Team Ninja, the same people who made the Nioh series. Fans were able to play the game’s introduction and the first two levels in the latest demo. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an easy game to compare it to, since it takes place in ancient Japan and has a fast, fluid combat system. But it also says it will have its own new ideas, which should get fans of the popular genre very excited.
3. Resident Evil 4
Getting by is only the first step. Since the biological disaster in Raccoon City, six years have passed. Agent Leon S. Kennedy, who was one of the people who survived the attack, has been sent to save the president’s daughter, who has been taken hostage. He follows her to a small village in Europe, where everyone seems to be in terrible shape.
And the curtain goes up on this story of a brave rescue and a horrifying ordeal, where life and death, fear and relief all meet. With updated gameplay, a new take on the story, and graphics with a lot of detail, Resident Evil 4 brings back an industry giant. Relive the nightmare that made survival horror what it is today.
4. Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
The classic horror photography game Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse has been remastered for modern audiences. This re-release takes players back to all the haunts and scares of the original game. In the game, a young girl named Ruka Minazuki goes back to the place where a terrible thing happened to solve a mystery and put old ghosts to rest.
As in other Fatal Frame (Project Zero) games, this one is about using a special camera to explore a ghostly world and using its power to stop the spiritual tides. On this journey, you’ll have to figure out what caused Ruka’s trauma and keep your head on straight. If you liked Fatal Frame and want to play more scary horror games, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR will be available for PS VR2 on March 16, 2023. This game is a rollercoaster shooter with a lot of scares and jump scares.
5. Hot Wheels: Rift Rally
Mixed reality works the same way in both Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and Hot Wheels: Rift Rally. The player drives a real car around their own home, which their PlayStation or phone turns into a track. You can race over 140 different cars in this game, or you can try them out in stunt mode. It should be a lot of fun for people who like crazy-kart racers.
6. The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is a VR rail shooter set on a scary-themed roller coaster. It’s a spin-off of The Dark Pictures Anthology, whose first season ended with “The Devil in Me” in 2022. It is also a spiritual sequel to Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, which came out in 2016 for the first PlayStation VR. Switchback looks like it will give the responsive and intense shooter more depth, which should be very exciting for horror fans.
7. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
Bayonetta is one of Nintendo’s most popular third-party series. It is known for its fast-paced fighting combos and its main character, who is a bit risqué. But the soon-to-be-released Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon looks like it will give fans a nice change of pace. Players will take control of a younger version of Bayonetta to learn about her life before the trilogy. It might also get some younger fans because it isn’t as serious.
8. Train Life: A Railway Simulator
Since the first one came out, simulation games have become a big hit. Even though The Sims might be the most popular game in the genre, there are others that are more specific and offer a different experience. Simulation games include Farming Simulator, Power Wash Simulator, and now Train Life: A Railway Simulator. This 2022 game is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch. If you’ve been looking for a relaxing simulation game, you’ll be able to play it.
9. The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure
The Legend of Heroes is a big series, just like the Tales series or Final Fantasy. A game that has been in the works for a long time will finally be released on this side of the pond in March. After more than a decade, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is finally coming to a lot of consoles. The game takes place a few months after Trails from Zero. If you want to play it, you might want to catch up on the story first.
10. WWE 2K23
WWE 2K23 brings the action and drama of WWE to game consoles and computers. The game is the tenth in the WWE 2K series. Fans can play as their own characters or as wrestlers who are well-known in real life. The “showcase mode” of 2K23 is all about the cover star, John Cena, and lets fans relive some of his most famous moments. The 2022 game was kind of a comeback for the series, and the March game will try to keep that going.
11. Anno 1800: Console Edition
Anno 1800 is not a new game, but for console owners, it will be. We wanted to put it on our list of games coming out in March 2023 because it has a lot of fans. This game is a great city-building game, and it has a lot of DLC that keeps players interested. After being tested for a while, the game is finally coming to consoles in March.
12. Tchia
In this tropical open-world adventure, help Tchia save her father from the cruel ruler of the archipelago, Meavora. You can climb, glide, swim, and sail your boat around beautiful islands to explore a physics-based sandbox. Meavora made soldiers out of fabric, and you have to fight them in open battles where your creativity gives you an advantage. Take control of any animal or object you find, meet new people, and play your fully playable Ukulele. A poem set in New Caledonia about growing up.
13. Crime Boss: Rockay City
Crime Boss: Rockay City is a game about organized crime that can be played alone or with friends. It’s a first-person shooter, and there are battles over territory. You play the part of Travis Baker, who wants to become the new King of Rockay City by committing crimes one by one.
14. Have a Nice Death
Have a Nice Death has been in early access on Steam for a year, but it won’t be fully available until March 2023. Players take control of Death, the CEO of Death Inc. Death is very tired because his top executives aren’t following company rules and have caused a lot of paperwork. Classic 2D roguelike is how the game is played, and it looks like it will be hard to master. It might not change the genre, but it’s a good addition to the many roguelikes already out there.
15. The Last of Us Part 1
Even though The Last of Us has been around for a while, its great TV show is what’s making it popular right now. People dusted off their old consoles to play this game, and some even bought the game’s remake, which just came out recently. Now, PC gamers will be able to play one of the best video games of the last ten years with improved graphics.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are a lot of games for almost every platform coming out this month. Even though there aren’t many AAA games coming out, that doesn’t mean the smaller games aren’t good. Just like every month, there’s a game for everyone, so choose the ones you’ll enjoy the most.
