March Gaming Wrap-Up: Upcoming Releases & Highlights

March is drawing to a close, marking the end of a quarter packed with notable game releases, including hits like the early access of Slay the Spire II and the deep dive into Pokémon Pokopia. However, before we welcome April, several significant new titles are still slated for release, deserving our attention.

This week, anticipation builds for titles such as Damon and Baby from Arc System Works, a standout demo from the recent Steam Next Fest, and Screamer, a racing game promising high intensity. However, the most talked-about release to date is Life is Strange: Reunion, inviting players on a nostalgic return to the series' origins.

Life is Strange: Reunion

Developer: Deck Nine Games
Publisher: Square Enix
Release: March 26
Available on: PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X (view on Steam)

A common criticism of the previous Life is Strange installment, Double Exposure, was Chloe's absence. Life is Strange: Reunion addresses this by bringing back both original protagonists, Max and Chloe, along with Max's time-rewind ability. If the story delivers, this title is poised to satisfy many fans of the series.

Screamer

Developer & Publisher: Milestone
Release: March 26
Available on: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (view on Steam)

Screamer, developed by the expert Italian studio Milestone, reinterprets a 90s classic with an anime-inspired aesthetic.
