All the Best Games Coming Out in March 2025

Wreckfest 2

Destruction on Four Wheels

Wreckfest 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the well-received 2014 Wreckfest, a game that you can also play on mobile and handhelds. While your main objective in the game changes depending on whether you’re racing, in a derby, or in multiplayer, the core gameplay stays the same: wreck everyone else’s vehicle before they wreck you. The sequel takes adrenaline-pumping destruction to a whole new level with a revamped physics simulation engine, more customization, and a new and improved career mode.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls

Step Into the World of the Iconic Manga and Anime

Bleach is a long-running manga and anime series that’s no stranger to video games—we’ve seen numerous games set in its universe in the past. However, other than the brief inclusion of a few iconic Bleach characters in Jump Force and the mobile title Bleach: Immortal Soul, we haven’t seen much from the franchise in a while. It’s great to see that the manga is making a proper return with Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls‘s storyline ties into the main narrative, as it revisits Ichigo’s early adventures. The main focus is on the satisfying hack-and-slash combat paired with gorgeous modern anime graphics, so there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this game even if you’ve never read or seen Bleach before.

Rise of the Rōnin

Samurai Vengeance in Changing Japan

Rise of the Rōnin is an open-world RPG set in a turbulent time in Japan—the Bakumatsu period that marks the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. You play as a rōnin, a masterless samurai, in a world filled with political turmoil and intense combat. The game shines with its atmosphere and fluid combat, effectively conveying the honor and struggle of a true samurai. Although it’s in a different time period, Rise of the Rōnin is still the perfect game to fill the gap while waiting for a Ghosts of Tsushima sequel.

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune & Dunan Unification Wars

JRPG Classics Remastered for Modern Platforms

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune & Dunan Unification Wars is a remastered collection of the ’90s KONAMI classics Suikoden I and II. The bundle contains everything you’d expect from a remaster—improved visuals, more detailed sprites, improved sounds, and new on-screen effects. If you’ve never played a JRPG before, this is an excellent way to get started. These two games are often regarded as the best of the genre, thanks to their deep storytelling and engaging turn-based combat.

Age of Mythology: Retold

Command Gods in Mythological Warfare

Age of Mythology: Retold has been available on PC and Xbox Series X|S since September 4, 2024 (it’s one of those Xbox games you probably haven’t played but definitely should), but now it’s coming out for the PlayStation 5 as well. This remaster of the classic real-time strategy Age of Mythology retains everything that made the original great and improves it with enhanced visuals and audio.

MLB The Show 25

Swing for the Fences in the Latest Baseball Game

MLB The Show 25 is the latest installment in Sony’s annual baseball franchise. This year’s entry includes the expected smaller tweaks like updated player rosters, better graphics, and other minor gameplay improvements. Additionally, the game introduces exciting new modes, such as Diamond Quest, a roguelike mode where players face high-stakes challenges to unlock exclusive rewards in a risk-and-reward environment. It’s a must for fans of the game and sports in general.

WWE 2K25

Step Into the Ring for Unmatched Wrestling Action

WWE 2K25 is the 25th WWE game, and it’s shaping up to be one of the better ones. Wrestling fans are excited about the expansive roster of over 300 WWE Superstars and the chance to step outside the ring with The Island—a new semi-open world mode. You can explore its various districts, do quests, and dive into its storyline.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master

A New Way to Experience Japan’s Drift Culture

Good racing games are scarce, and drifting-focused games with licensed cars are even rarer. So, I’m happy to report that we’re getting a unique and much-needed entry into the drifting genre with JDM: Japanese Drift Master.

This is an open-world game that promises to capture the essence of Japan’s iconic drift culture. Considering the breathtaking color palette, especially during nighttime drift sequences, it’s likely the closest we’ll get to a game that looks like the classic movie The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

Explore, Battle, and Rebuild Humanity on Planet Mira

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a remaster of the 2015 Wii U game of the same name for the Switch. You control a small group of humans who have landed on planet Mira after surviving Earth’s destruction. Your objective is to rebuild civilization amidst a hostile environment filled with aliens. The Definitive Edition features improved visuals, better combat, more content, and smooth performance on the Switch.

Atomfall

It’s Like Fallout: London, but on Steroids

Just from looking at the trailer and screenshots of Atomfall, it’s easy to dismiss it as a Fallout clone. However, upon closer inspection, the gameplay shows it’s quite different. It’s not even an open world. The game has the potential to stand on its own merits.

The story is set in an alternate history where the real-life Windscale nuclear fire turned Northern England into a radioactive zone. Atomfall is a first-person RPG with some light survival elements where you fight against robots, people, and mutants.

Carmen Sandiego

Explore the World, Solve Puzzles, and Capture VILE

Carmen Sandiego is the latest entry in the long-running video game franchise. You play as Carmen, a thief who is traveling around the world and solving puzzles to stop the evil organization VILE before it’s too late. The game is out now for purchase on PC and consoles, but it’s also available for free on your phone via a Netflix subscription.

inZOI

Simulate Your Life in a New Virtual World

inZOI is the latest life simulation game that’ll have players creating custom characters, building and furnishing homes, and engaging in various activities that life has to offer. Considering The Sims 4 has been out for over a decade, it’s possible that inZOI could eventually challenge its dominance in the life simulation genre. I’m particularly interested in seeing how the game will incorporate generative AI, as the technology is perfectly suited for a life simulation game, at least in theory.

Killing Floor 3

Face the Zed-Pocalypse

Back when zombie shooters were at their peak, Killing Floor 2 was among the more popular ones and was praised for its gory action and dynamic combat. It’s exciting to see a sequel, Killing Floor 3, finally on the way.

You join the Nightfall, a rebel group united to fight against the bioengineered Zeds in wave-based combat with a host of new weapons and mechanics. The game will feature 6-player co-op, making it perfect for long evenings of intense gun combat with a group of friends.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Explore Feudal Japan as a Legendary Assassin

Rumors of an Assassin’s Creed set in Japan have been circulating for over a decade, so it’s great to see our wishes finally fulfilled with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game is set in 1579 and follows two protagonists, Naoe, a ninja, and Yasuke, an African samurai who was based on a real historical figure.

While the franchise remains popular among casual gamers, recent entries have lost the goodwill of long-time fans who want a return to the series’ roots, moving away from RPG elements. It looks like Assassin’s Creed Shadows aims to please both groups by combining Valhalla’s RPG elements with old-school Assassin’s Creed mechanics, and it even runs on older GPUs.
