Resident Evil 3 – PC, PS4, X1 – Apr 3
Capcom is at it again with the Resident Evil series, building off the successes of Resident Evil 7 and the remake of Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 3 is set to launch with a redesigned Jill Valentine and the return of franchise familiar Nemesis. While Resident Evil 3 was not most people’s favorite of the series, Capcom has reworked different aspects of the game, including how Nemesis tracks players. The game also includes an online mode, Resident Evil: Resistance, which brings four players together against a “mastermind”.
Sakura Wars – PS4 – Apr 28
Taking place in a fictional 1940s Japan, Sakura Wars is a soft reboot of the Sakura Wars series. The game combines visual novel, dating sim, and action RPG elements, also being the first Sakura Wars to use an action-based battle system. If that hasn’t sold you yet, did we mention the game has mechs? Those looking for a relatively typical JRPG don’t have to look further than Sakura Wars, but there is another “JRPG” in April to look forward to…
Final Fantasy VII Remake – PS4 – Apr 10
Make no mistake about it, Final Fantasy VII Remake is by far the biggest game of the month. For those who played the game over twenty years ago, to those who never had the pleasure, pretty much everyone is looking forward to this game. Although the game is split into multiple parts, what we’ve seen so far makes us excited for future instalments as well. Final Fantasy VII’s reputation puts this game at the top of this year’s releases, and it rightfully deserves to be there.
