Video games coming out in March, from Resident Evil 4 to WWE 2K23

This year is already shaping up to be one of the richest in terms of releases in recent times, with some great video games released between January and February, such as the highly anticipated (and very successful on the market) Hogwarts Legacy. And March does not want to seem outdone…

Video games of March 2023 —

March doesn’t appear to show any signs of slowing down, in fact, and will also come with a good ration of big names. Sports fans will receive the annual release of three well-known simulations, although the highlight of the month will be the remake of one of the greatest survival horror games ever made.

An exotic open world action adventure will be available on PlayStation Plus from day one, while a famous witch will tell us her origin story on Nintendo Switch. As we said, there are many titles to look forward to, so let’s take a look at the best games coming out in March.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

• Release date: 3rd March
• Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC

Coming from the creators of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will see you playing as an unnamed soldier battling demons and monsters in a dark fantasy set during the Three Kingdoms period in China. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is all about melee combat, with swordfighting based on Chinese martial arts and increasingly powerful spirit attacks to unlock as you progress through the story – including elemental magic.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon

• Release date: March 17th
• Platforms: Nintendo Switch

This origin story of Bayonetta, aka Cereza, was first hinted at in a secret chapter of Bayonetta 3, only to be announced with great fanfare at The Game Awards 2022. Bayonetta Origins is out just five months after the last chapter of the series, so fans of the witch should be more than excited for the moment in the saga.

In Cereza and the Lost Demon, you play as a young Bayonetta before she starts wielding her iconic guns and discovers her full magical potential. As the title suggests, you can also play as the Lost Demon, aka Cheshire. You’ll control both characters with the Switch’s two Joy-Cons – Cereza with the left, Cheshire with the right. Peculiar controls will surely allow for interesting puzzle-solving and combat, focusing on the complementary strengths of the two protagonists as you explore a world so different from the main series.
