For a spell, it appeared that February would be the busiest thirty day period for gaming in 2022, with marquees like Sifu, Elden Ring, and Horizon Forbidden West crowding the calendar. But in the latest days, March has officially taken the crown as the very best (worst?) month to love movie video games. People, it is obtaining very preposterous out there.
Earlier these days, Nintendo last but not least announced a release day for Kirby and the Neglected Land, a Breath of the Wild-seeking just take on everyone’s most loved form-shifting puffball. It is out on Switch on March 25…the extremely same day Little Tina’s Wonderlands, a spinoff of Gearbox’s loot-shooting Borderlands collection, hits PlayStation, Xbox, and Laptop.

You consider which is it? Ha, superior one particular! Following a hold off out of its preliminary November 2021 window, the subsequent-gen version of Grand Theft Vehicle V is also prepared for March 2022, while it doesn’t currently have a business launch day.
