3. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves โ April 24
Thereโs a new Fatal Fury game coming out in April 2025! For those who donโt know, Fatal Fury is 2D fighting game series that began on the Neo Geo in 1991. I first played it on Super Nintendo as a kid. While Fatal Fury has lived on in the form of The King of Fighters series, there hasnโt been a โFatal Furyโ game since 1999โs Garou: Mark of the Wolves (Fatal Fury is known as Garou in Japan). Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will directly continue the story from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the first original game featured on the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in April 2025. It will be available for both PlayStations, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
2. Lunar: Remastered Collection โ April 18
The Lunar games are two of the most beloved JRPGs of all time. In April 2025, they will be available on modern consoles, for the first time since the PSP. Both games are getting retranslated, and redubbed, making them closer to the Japanese originals, and less like the inaccurate, but beloved, Working Designs versions. The gameplay will also be unaltered from the Japanese originals, not having the Working Designs difficulty increase from all the prior North American versions. This collection is a big deal for JRPG fans, and an obvious contender for the top spot on the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in April 2025. Lunar: Remastered Collection will be available for all consoles and PC.
1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 โ April 24
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a totally new IP, which is rare for a game at the top of a list like the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in April 2025. Butโฆ it looks awesome! Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG, with a dark fantasy aesthetic. It looks like a Western RPG, but looks like it will play closer to a JRPG. The gameplay involves timed actions, evoking memories of game like Super Mario RPG, Legend of Dragoon, and Shadow Hearts. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
