Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

The eagerly awaited follow-up to the highly acclaimed fighting game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, titled Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, faces a significant challenge in rejoining the ranks of the timeless classics if it hopes to revive the series.

MotoGP 25

In MotoGP 25, there are fresh riding modes that range from specialized motard, flat track, and minibike racing to an unprecedented casual arcade experience, offering numerous innovative ways to ride. However, Milestone’s latest superbike simulation aims to deliver unparalleled authenticity in an unexpected area – sound design. By recording on-track audio directly from the exhausts and tire squeals of official bikes, MotoGP 25 could be the best installation in the long-running series in years.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny

The 2002 PS2 classic, “Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny,” is now being remastered, offering players a chance to reexperience the original’s thrilling swordplay and gripping revenge tale in high-resolution graphics and with improved controls. It also includes additional language options, new gallery modes, an updated soundtrack, a challenging ‘Hell’ mode difficulty level, and a convenient auto save feature, making this a captivating journey through feudal Japan that has been significantly enhanced.

Elden Ring Nightreign

2025 sees a comeback for cooperative games, featuring an independent spin-off titled “Elden Ring: Nightreign” set within the ominous universe of Elden Ring. This game is designed for groups of up to three players to jointly explore the dismal land of Limveld, promising a memorable and daunting journey. In keeping with FromSoft’s tradition, overcoming a three-day cycle in “Elden Ring Nightreign” will not be an easy feat. Expect challenging opponents with exceptional skills throughout your runs. However, finding collectible relics may make future runs slightly less grueling.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4

On March 4th, the long-anticipated news in the gaming industry was finally confirmed, and although some gamers expressed concern that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 would abandon its open-ended career mode in favor of Iron Galaxy’s declared return to the ‘epic two-minute format’ of the original games, there’s no denying that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is an exciting update. Refreshed skate parks, a few new courses, and four fresh skaters (excluding Doom Slayer) promise that the remakes of Tony Hawk’s latest offerings will be well-received by fans.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

As someone who’s been eagerly anticipating the release of the new 2D side scroller from Ninja Gaiden, let me assure you that it promises to be a fresh take on the classic platformer genre. With its blend of modern mechanics and adventure elements, coupled with an 8-bit visual charm, this game could very well be the unsuspecting platforming gem of the year – Ragebound.

Little Nightmares III

In “Little Nightmares III,” the petite horror extravaganza is back with a twist! This time, you can team up with another player for cooperative gameplay, whether it’s side-by-side on a couch, online, or even against AI. Our two unfortunate protagonists, Low and Alone, find themselves trapped in a terrifying world called The Maw. They must utilize their unique abilities and tools to navigate challenging environmental puzzles while avoiding the grasp of numerous wicked creatures.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

Discussing games that can be considered hidden gems in the realm of side-scrollers like “Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound“, another classic is receiving a contemporary makeover with “Shinobi: Art of Vengeance“. Notably, this revival is being developed by the same team behind “Streets of Rage 4“. The game boasts a hand-drawn art style reminiscent of Supergiant Games, hinting at a highly polished platformer. However, it’s uncertain if Lizardcube has eased the notorious difficulty that the series is known for. Regardless, demonstrating the ways of the Shinobi has never looked more appealing.

Absolum

The team behind Dotemu is involved in this project as well, but unlike their previous publishing works, this is their initial original intellectual property that seems destined to become a timeless classic. Absolum, a unique blend of roguelite and side-scrolling beat ’em up games, takes place in an original fantasy world. In it, players control a group of fighters, each with their own fighting style, fast combo sequences, and magical abilities. They journey through levels with numerous paths and unforeseeable encounters, ensuring an immersive adventure every time you play.

Mouse: P.I. for Hire

In the game Mouse: P.I. for Hire, you step into the role of Private Investigator Jack Pepper, who finds himself in the dark underbelly of the 1930’s criminal world filled with ruthless gangsters and cold-blooded killers.
