Then, “Horizon Forbidden West” finally landed on PC on March 21 after being exclusive to PlayStation consoles for two years.
Perhaps the most notable announcement this month is Dragon’s Dogma 2, the long-awaited sequel to 2012’s Dragon’s Dogma. Developed by Capcom, this action role-playing game allows players to fight monsters with teammates in an open-world environment. The game will be available on current consoles and PC on March 22nd.

thaumaturge
Time: March 4
Location: computer
If you’re a fan of role-playing games and find yourself returning to Baldur’s Gate III, Thaumaturge is the game for you. This top-down, turn-based RPG may not match the production values and scale of last year’s blockbuster games, but it certainly punches above its weight in terms of rich narrative and engaging gameplay. The game’s protagonist is Wictor Szulski, a detective and thaumaturge who is investigating the death of his father.
A thaumaturge is a magician who can capture and command a special category of spirits called saluters, who represent certain human flaws. Once captured, a thaumaturge can use his abilities in combat. The description is enough to highlight the game’s mystery and supernatural genre, however, it also has equal parts historical fiction, with the story taking place in Russian-controlled Warsaw under the Tsar.
The dialogue-heavy storytelling helps build a rich narrative with a complex protagonist who battles in the outside world and within himself, but the gameplay is also fun to watch. The main combat is turn-based, which gives you plenty of room to develop your own strategy. You also have to find clues and interact with people to learn knowledge and advance through the chapters.

Time: March 8th (Deluxe version is March 5th)

A new Super Terminator has also been added, which gives you an extreme version of your Terminator. Single-player fans can get two new MyRISE experiences and a new Immortals showcase mode that takes you on a journey through 40 years of WrestleMania. You can also play as over 200 WWE Superstars, including legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Eddie Guerrero, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Macho Man Randy Savage, and the full current roster.

Two years after its release on PS5 and PS4, Guerrilla Games’ critically acclaimed open-world action-adventure game is finally coming to PC.

Princess Peach will be the protagonist of a game for the first time since 2005’s Super Princess Peach, and Nintendo has spared no effort to make the game as creative as possible.

Different levels are designed according to themes, and the entire visual experience is like a theatrical background made of wood and cardboard. Princess Peach: It’s show time! It might not feel like a Mario game because it doesn’t follow the traditional storytelling that most fans are used to – there’s no Bowser at the end of the road, no Mario to save the world, and Princess Peach hiding in the castle – but it It’s also what makes the game feel fresh, with the puzzles seeming to be unique and the levels reflecting the personas of the newest protagonists of the Mario Bros. universe.
