Two Point Museum

  • Release date: March 4, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5

Two Point Museum is a simulation game that lets players step into the shoes of a museum curator. Your goal is to design and run world-class museums, balancing cultural enrichment with entertainment to attract visitors and boost your institution’s reputation. Build exhibits ranging from ancient artifacts to futuristic inventions, each with unique themes and interactive elements that keep guests engaged and educated.

The game was created by Two Point Studios, the developer behind Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus; hence, it stands out with similar humor and quirky art style. However, the new game offers more freedom and lets players be more creative when it comes to the design of their museums.

Split Fiction

  • Release date: March 6, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5

A new game from Hazelight Studios follows the way paved by the studio’s previous game, the outstanding It Takes Two. Consequently, it will be an action-adventure game designed for 2-player cooperation. Players will control Zoe and Mio, two writers trapped within a simulation that throws them between sci-fi and fantasy worlds.

Like in It Takes Two, each level should post new, fresh challenges, as the protagonists’ abilities constantly change. The game offers local and online split-screen and uses a Friend’s Pass system, so two players need only one copy of the game.

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

  • Release date: March 6, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch

Remastered versions of two classic role-playing games featuring a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the pursuit of unity against overwhelming odds. Both games center around young heroes drawn into political and military conflicts, where they must gather allies, lead epic forces, and confront powerful adversaries to change the fate of nations.

The remaster enhances the originals with improved visuals and refined soundtracks while retaining the series’ signature gameplay. Players recruit over 100 unique characters, including warriors, magicians, strategists, and artisans. Combat features a mix of turn-based team strategies and dynamic duels, with the addition of large-scale army skirmishes.

Rise of the Rōnin

  • Release date: March 11, 2025
  • Platforms: PC

The latest open-world action RPG from Team Ninja ends its PS5 exclusivity and heads to PC. The game is set in Japan during the chaotic Bakumatsu period. You step into the role of a rōnin, a masterless samurai caught between the crumbling shōgunate and the rising forces of modernization, tasked with forging your own path amidst intense factional conflicts.

The game emphasizes freedom of choice, allowing you to align with one of the factions or forge a unique path defined entirely by your principles. The combat system was widely praised by players and critics. It combines brutal melee swordplay and early firearm combat, reflecting the era’s merging of ancient ways with modern weapons. Also, the story is among the game’s advantages. Therefore, if you’re looking for a game with a compelling narrative, you should have a great time playing Rise of the Rōnin.

WWE 2K25

  • Release date: March 14, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X

The upcoming entry in the long-running 2K wrestling series tries to capture the drama, spectacle, and athleticism of WWE. It combines gameplay mechanics, an expansive roster of superstars, and storytelling. WWE 2K25 introduces Bloodline’s Dynasty, letting players rewrite or recreate iconic WWE moments.

As usual, you can step into the ring in quick-play matches, dominate the competition in Universe Mode, or create your own superstar and climb the ranks in the revamped MyRise career mode.

MLB The Show 25

  • Release date: March 18, 2025 (early access: March 14)
  • Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch

MLB The Show 25 is another sports game that will hit the shelves this March. Like in previous installments, you can step onto the mound and swing for the fences or manage your team’s strategy.

The core gameplay remains true to the series’ standards, featuring refined mechanics for pitching, batting, and fielding. Precision and timing are key, with each action relying on skill and strategy to succeed.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

  • Release date: March 20, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, macOS, iPadOS

This time, the Assassin’s Creed series takes us to feudal Japan. Players will explore an open world filled with towns, castles, and landmarks. Assassin’s Creed Shadows features two playable characters. You can choose Naoe, an agile shinobi who mastered stealth techniques, or a samurai called Yasuke if you prefer combat-oriented gameplay.

The Assassin’s Creed series has become petrified and copied the same schemes, only changing the setting, so I wonder if Ubisoft’s upcoming AAA game will be able to offer something fresh and exhilarating.

Killing Floor 3

  • Release date: March 25, 2025 late 2025
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X

Tripwire Interactive’s series of survival horror first-person shooters will return this month. Killing Floor 3 is set in a dystopian future, where the world is overrun by bioengineered creatures known as Zeds. Your task, as part of an elite team of mercenaries, is to push back against the endless hordes while uncovering the chilling truths behind the chaos.

The game builds on the intensity of its predecessors with refined gunplay, expanded customization, and a deeper focus on teamwork. Hence, although you can play solo, the co-op is the ultimate way to experience Killer Floor games. Players can choose from six specialists. Each of them offers different abilities and weapons. Compared to its predecessor, Killing Floor 3 duplicates a darker tone and the M.E.A.T. system but improves Zeds’ AI.

On March 7, Tripwire Interactive announced that the game had been delayed.

Atomfall

  • Release date: March 27, 2025
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X

On October 10, 1957, the worst nuclear accident in the history of the UK occurred. Atomfall, a survival-action game, takes us to an alternative timeline where this historical event, known as the Windscale fire, had even graver consequences than it actually had. In this version of history, a significant part of Cumbria was turned into nuclear wastelands. You will have a chance to explore them.

Players can travel across the quarantine zones five years after the Windscale fire. The picturesque English countryside was taken over by strange cults and rogue agencies. Like virtually all survival games, Atomfalls features crafting mechanics, resource management, and combat. Besides the protagonist’s health, the player has to take care of the heart rate, which affects accuracy and energy.
