If you are a video game buff like me, you will know that it is a constant task to keep up to date with all the new releases of games each and every year. It seems like every year just gets better and better new video games, and this year is definitely no exception.
I won’t keep you back with a big introduction on this one, I want to dive straight in and talk about some of the most exciting new video games out there on the market right now.
We’ve got a mix of Playstation 5, Nintendo and Xbox games to choose from, so this list should be exciting regardless of what console you use.
Let’s get into it!
Elden Ring
You knew this one was going to be number one on the list, didn’t you? There is absolutely no way that we could have a blog talking about exciting new video games and not include Elden Ring in our number one spot.
The long-awaited and eagerly anticipated Elden Ring was released for the Playstation 4 and 5, PC, and Xbox on the 25th of February 2022. It is an RPG that was made in direct collaboration with Game of Thrones book series’ author, George R.R. Martin. The game takes place in a brand new fantasy world, the Lands Between, and has an impressive and integrated story developed by R.R. Martin.
The game has been super popular within the gaming community since it was first announced, and the initial response seems to match up to the hype. So far it has been given scores of 10/10 and 5 stars across major reviewing platforms, including IGN, Gamespot, The Guardian, and Gamesradar.
This game takes video games to a new level of story-telling and visual excellence.
If want to know who we think is the rightful winner of the number one spot on any list of new video games… It is always Elden Ring.
Don’t miss this one.
Triangle Strategy
Triangle Strategy is a tactical RPG published by Square Enix and available to play on Nintendo Switch and PS4. It is within the same family as Fire Elbem and Final Fantasy Tactics.
This game is a turn-taking, strategy game that prompts you to make decisions and take actions so that you may take control of and triumph with your nation within a three-nation battle. It has a strong storyline and will be a big hit with players who love good storytelling.
This game is a little different from the other new video games on our list, but we think it deserves this high ranking spot. The game has received solid reviews across the board, getting a score of 82% on Metacritic.
It isn’t high-paced, punchy game playing that we might expect from something like Elden Ring, but it has a unique and complicated story that will really impress a lot of users and add a new level to the tactical RPG games we are used to.
If you like making tactical decisions, seeing how your actions plan out, and playing the long game, triangle strategy is a beautifully-matched choice for you.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West is another of the new video games specifically aimed at our PS4 and 5 players.
The action-packed RPG adventure game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world called Horizon. Your task, as Aloy, is to uncover the secrets of this world and figure out how to restore the balance of the world, all while coming up against an incredibly strong new enemy.
It is an open-world game with stunning visuals. It really does look incredible. You will recognise current spots in America, translated into a post-apocalyptic world and you will be amazed by all the locations within the high-res game.
The game has a high-concept narrative and it features some exceptional storytelling. The combat is pretty good too.
This addition to our list of new video games is definitely not to be missed. It feels like a game we have been waiting on for a long time and it feels like it brings an entirely new horizon of games to our platforms (get it…?)
If you go for this one, I guarantee you will be impressed and I guarantee you will spend a lot of enjoyable hours within the game’s expansive world.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Now, the last two games on our list haven’t been released just yet but they will be released very soon so I wanted to include them as a little excited nod ahead to some of the new video games we can expect to see in our near future.
Always good to have something to look forward to, right?
So, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (amazing name) is a game that will be released for PS4 and 5, Xbox, and PC on March 25th, 2022. It is an action RPG first-person shooter game published by 2K Games. It is associated with the Borderlands series as a sequel of sorts to Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep.
It joins our crew of new video games that have awesome looking graphics and it has some gorgeous and colourful visuals.
It has some gory and bloody violence so if that isn’t what you are into, maybe give this one a skip.
But if you love boss battles, exciting gun combat, and out of this world graphic design, you are onto an absolute winner with this one.
It is mysterious, dangerous, and super cool.
Kirby and The Forgotten Land
We couldn’t have a list of new video games to look forward to without having something quintessentially Nintendo in there too… Or at least, I couldn’t.
Last but not least on our list is the lovely Kirby.
Kirby and The Forgotten Land will also be released on the 25th March 2022 and will be exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch. It is the 17th (!) instalment in the Kirby series and will be a 3d adventure game that offers both single and multiplayer options.
If you love colour, cuteness, and hours of classic Nintendo fun, this has to be one of your most anticipated new video games to look out for this month. Has to be.
