Overcoming fears, fighting the dragon or snowball fight: We have put together the most important new games in the month of March.
The start of the year has already brought gamers two hits: the action-adventure “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” and the Japanese role-playing game “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth”. March continues with half a dozen potential blockbuster video games.
From rough sports to Far Eastern action to epic role-playing and classic Nintendo fun, pretty much all tastes should be catered for. We present the gaming highlights of March.
WWE 2K24
“WWE 2K24” is the new part of the popular WWE video game series in which wrestling fans can really let off steam again. This game is all about 40 years of WrestleMania and offers numerous innovations.
Players can look forward to a thrilling retelling of WrestleMania’s greatest moments in 2K Showcase of the Immortals. New match types such as “Ambulance” and “Special Guest Referee” are also intended to ensure exciting fights in the ring.

Alone In the Dark
“Alone in the Dark” is a reinterpretation of the 1992 survival horror game. Some central features of the classic are revised. For example, the remake offers a so-called third-person view instead of the traditional fixed camera perspective. This is intended to allow players to immerse themselves more intensively in the world.
The graphics and soundtrack are also updated to bring the dark environment of the Derceto Mansion to life with modern effects and realistic lighting. The new edition also relies less on shock elements and instead focuses more on subtle horror, psychological elements and unexpected twists.

Dragon’s Dogma 2
More than ten years after the first part, the developers want to rekindle the fan hype surrounding this action role-playing game with a sequel. “Dragon’s Dogma 2” once again relies on challenging fights with swords, bows and magic and wants to build on the strengths of its predecessor.
A key new aspect of the single-player adventure is the vassal system. These are computer-controlled companions that are intended to be useful not only in combat, but also for quest hints and directions. The sequel also wants to impress with photorealistic graphics, tactical combat and a huge world that is four times larger than before.

Rise of the Ronin
“Rise of the Ronin” is no less action-packed, an action role-playing game that transports gamers to the late 19th century of the “Bakumatsu” era. Players take on the role of a Ronin, a masterless samurai who fights with a variety of weapons.
Equipped with a classic katana, spear or firearm, you explore an open game world as a nameless warrior that is characterized by war, epidemics, political unrest and social upheaval. The fighter’s decisions affect the fate of Japan as he forges his own path.
