March marks the true beginning of spring; the days are beginning to get lighter, the weather will grow warmer (albeit slowly!), and the march to summer begins.
It’s also one of the most important months for video games on the calendar. Much like Hollywood, the gaming industry tends towards releasing some of its biggest titles in spring.
Of course, March 2025 is no different in this regard; there are plenty of games vying for your attention this month, so without further ado, let’s check out the best games March 2025 has to offer.
Two Point Museum (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S – March 4th)
The third game in the Two Point series of business sims, Two Point Museum has you managing…well…your very own museum, as it happens.
You’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the facility, take care of your staff, and make sure your guests are both educated and entertained by what they find within your museum.
It’ll also be your responsibility to dispatch your experts around the world to source artifacts for you to display, but be aware that those same artifacts could be stolen by thieves, so you’ll need to be vigilant.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch – March 6th)
Don’t let the incredibly unwieldy title of this one fool you; these are going to be two essential JRPG remasters, and they’re on their way to all current platforms in March.
The two Suikoden remasters will revamp the visuals of the original PlayStation titles, and they’ll also come with a host of new animations and effects to make the action look snazzier.
You can also look forward to new quality-of-life improvements, so things shouldn’t be quite as slow-paced as they might have been back in the day.
Split Fiction (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S – March 6th)
If Suikoden doesn’t sound like your bag, then maybe you’d like to grab your friend, partner, or family member and try out Josef Fares’ newest game Split Fiction.
Just like It Takes Two and A Way Out, Split Fiction will require you to be playing with another person, but it promises similar co-op-focused platforming challenges to those games, as well as a heartfelt story about two writers.
What’s more, the game’s Friend Pass will allow you to play it with someone else regardless of what platform they’re on, and you’ll only need one copy of the game. Result!
WWE 2K25 (PC, PlayStation, Xbox – March 14th)
That’s right: it’s that time of year once again. A brand new licensed WWE title is on its way to us, bringing the largest roster of wrestlers the series has ever seen, plus new game modes and more.
This time around, the game’s Showcase career mode revolves around the prestigious Anoa’i family, one of the most famous and well-respected wrestling dynasties of all time.
The game will also introduce the Island, a new hub-style area full of challenges to complete. You’ll only be able to visit the Island on current-gen platforms, though, and that doesn’t appear to include PC.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S – March 20th)
Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows twice; it was originally set to come out in November last year, but it was delayed to February, and then again to its current release date.
Hopefully, it won’t get delayed again, and assuming it isn’t, you can expect the same sort of massive, open-ended RPG shenanigans you got from Odyssey and Valhalla, but transposed to feudal Japan.
The game will star two protagonists between whom you can switch at will, with Yasuke leaning more towards combat and Naoe taking care of the stealthier end of things.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch – March 20th)
Xenoblade Chronicles X represents a rather odd departure from the traditional Monolith Soft formula, and it’ll be interesting to see it remastered for the Switch later this month.
The game takes place in a futuristic setting in which humanity has fled its home planet after an alien invasion and must colonise a new world full of fresh dangers to face.
You play as one such colonist, and it’s up to you to chart the planet, deal with its more hostile inhabitants, and uncover its secrets so that your people can find a new home.
Atomfall (PC, PlayStation, Xbox – March 27th)
Described by its creators as a “survival-action game inspired by real-life events”, Atomfall asks: what if the Windscale nuclear disaster had gone…differently?
You play as a survivor in the fictional quarantine zone erected around the plant, and it’s up to you to figure out how best to survive and navigate a post-nuclear world.
While it’ll naturally share some similarities with Fallout, Atomfall looks to be a decidedly more low-key and less “wacky” affair than Fallout can sometimes be. Plus, it’s British! Hooray!
The First Berserker: Khazan (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S – March 27th)
If you like Code Vein, Nioh, or other Soulslikes with strong loot-based elements to them, then Nexon’s The First Berserker – Khazan is almost certainly going to be up your street.
The First Berserker: Khazan promises “skill-based, hardcore combat”, “tough and challenging bosses”, and “a revenge-driven narrative” set in the publisher’s Dungeon Fighter universe.
Of course, you likely won’t need a PhD in Dungeon Fighter Studies to understand what’s going on here, so even if you’ve never played a game in the series, you’ll still be able to approach this one.
inZoi (PC, Early Access – March 28th)
For many years, EA has effectively held a monopoly over the life sim genre with The Sims, but that might all change later this month when Krafton releases inZoi.
Much like The Sims, you’ll create characters, manage their needs, and watch as they live their lives in real-time. You can, of course, also customise your house and even edit the world itself.
In short, inZoi looks like it’s trying to provide a much more ambitious take on The Sims, and while time will tell whether it’s successful, what we’ve seen so far has us optimistic.
