Being one of the most popular RPG franchises in the world (second only to Pokémon) ensures that the entire industry has an eye on the next Final Fantasy releases.

Hogwarts Legacy

The dream of any Harry Potter fan : a video game that allows you to be a Hogwarts student, customizing your character, choosing your classes, creating your adventure from scratch with the possibility of exploring the magical world at your leisure and pace.

With no set date, fans know this will be the year they can finally return to this iconic Metroidvania.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Superheroes are not the ones who have the best time in the gamer world, with few exceptions (Batman with his Arkham saga). Insomniac Games showed in 2018 that they know how to do it with their acclaimed Spider-Man game After the spin-off Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the sequel to the original title will allow him to handle both himself and the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker. As one of the first exclusive titles for the next generation, it’s going to be very interesting to see how the studio renews the proposal in our spring.

Resident Evil 4

Following the trend of recreating classic Resident Evil games, Capcom finally came up with one of the most iconic in the franchise: Resident Evil 4. The story of Leon S. Kennedy rescuing the daughter of the President of the United States was a symbol of the PlayStation 2 era and now it is modernized for the new generations.

In their announcement, Capcom claimed that they “reimagined the game’s story while keeping the essence of its direction, modernizing the graphics and bringing the controls up to today’s standards.” The title will arrive on March 24 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

That changed in 2019 with Respawn Entertainment’s smash hit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The story of Cal Kestis, a Jedi survivor of the purge who seeks his place in this new galaxy, will explore new planets and challenges in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The title will arrive on PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X on March 17.

Starfield

It is expected to launch in the first half of this year for PC and Xbox Series X. It will also be available from day one on the GamePass subscription service.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

It is not an exaggeration to say that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild changed the video game industry in 2017. Now, an expansion that has become a sequel, Tears of The Kingdom, will seek to load that backpack and offer a new experience in one of the world’s most loved for Nintendo Switch users. Link and Zelda’s classic adventure will take a dark path, in a title that will reuse what was created in the previous game to expand on their characters and how the world they live in changes. Coming to Nintendo Switch on May 12.
