WHAT’S COMING IN MARCH?

WO LONG: FALLEN DYNASTY Luo Guanzhong’s historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms has provided inspiration for many games over the years, and it’s at the heart of this latest release from Nioh developers Team Ninja. Set to be an action-packed affair, it’s the tale of a Chinese martial arts swordplay master militia soldier who’s on a quest for survival in a dark fantasy Three Kingdoms Later Han Dynasty world, one that’s brimming with foes such as enemy soldiers and deadly demons.

BAYONETTA ORIGINS: CEREZA AND THE LOST DEMON Have you ever wondered how Bayonetta became Bayonetta? Rather than the usual out-and-out fighting spectaculars that we’ve come to expect from the series over the years, this one takes a fascinating looking storybook adventure route, as we catch up with our favourite witch’s childhood. Players take control of young apprentice witch Cereza, as she teams with her first demon companion, Cheshire, to fend off faeries and solve puzzles in search of her mother.

STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR The journey of Cal Kestis is set to continue in this whole new outing, which picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order . No longer a Padawan, Cal has become a powerful Jedi Knight, and his crusade against the Empire has become more perilous than ever, with The Dark Times closing in. Once again, we’re in for a third person, narrative-driven action-adventure that’s been developed in collaboration between EA’s Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games.

RESIDENT EVIL 4 The legendary 2005 entry in the Resident Evil story returns, fully remade with the latest RE Engine tech at its core. Join Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. He’s now an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States, who’s tasked Kennedy with rescuing his kidnapped daughter. The developers promise that they’ve been able to make this the game they wanted to originally, while maintaining the essence of that classic.
