Gust are returning to the Mysterious world of the Atelier series with a direct sequel to the popular Atelier Sophie. It’s taking a more open approach than the Souls games, with a focus on stealth and mounted combat.Ītelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream (PS4, Switch, PC) – February 25 The Game of Thrones novelist helped to design a bleak fantasy setting with cursed rings, runes and that weird pot guy from the Game Awards. Certain scenes, such as the memorable opera sequence, will be rendered in the same ‘HD-2D” style as Octopath Traveler.Įlden Ring (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, PC) – February 25įromSoftware’s latest action RPG is something of a collaboration between Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki and fantasy writer George R.R. Square-Enix’s series of “pixel remasters” comes to a close with this remastering of the Super Nintendo classic, Final Fantasy VI. Will it match the same quality of SMT? Well, reviews of the Japanese version weren’t especially kind, but the spooky school setting and systems based around developing your ego certainly seem intriguing.įinal Fantasy VI: Pixel Remaster (Mobile, PC) – February 23 NIS picked up Lancarse and FuRyu’s “new high school RPG”, which touted former staff from the Shin Megami Tensei series as part of its development team. Monark (PS5, PS4, Switch, PC) – February 22 (NA), February 25 (EU) Once again it’s being headed up by Yoko Taro and looks to feature NieR Automata characters as DLC. The standalone sequel to last year’s Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars features turn-based combat and exploration all based around cards. Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden (Switch, PS4, PC) – February 17 With a plot that involves child abuse and some grisly input from the scenario writer of Corpse Party, it’s certainly not going to be for everyone. Released for other platforms back in 2020, this horror-themed RPG is quite far from Idea Factory’s usual fluffy moe fare. It shouldn’t come as a shock then that some of the staff from the Summon Night games also worked on Maglam Lord.ĭeath End re Quest 2 (Switch) – February 8 (NA), February 11 (EU) It’s not exactly the highest concept or highest budget game out there, but if you were looking for a successor to those Summon Night games on the Game Boy Advance, this sure looks like it. In this RPG, players act as a demon lord, forging swords and fighting monsters while trying to find a spouse to help continue their demonic bloodline. It has art by Disgaea character designer Takehito Harada, but I wonder if this’ll be one of those ultra-niche NIS titles that ends up staying in Japan. Billing itself as a “survival simulation RPG”, the game has players creating a team of adventurers who explore dungeons and cook tasty meals. This game’s title translates as “The Corpse Eater’s Adventure Food”, which doesn’t exactly sound appetising. Shikabane-gurai no Bouken Meshi (PS4, Switch) – January 27 (JP) With elements like a crafting system and a more open world setting, it’s quite a departure for the series.
It’s a mix of action gameplay and turn-based combat, with trainers sneaking up on wild Pokémon and sending out their own critters to fight, including regional versions of familiar Pokémon like Growlithe and Zorua. The Pokémon series is going back in time, with this instalment taking place in a bygone era of the Sinnoh region, back when it was known as Hisui. Pokémon Legends: Arceus (Switch) – January 22 The original release was warmly received for some twists on Experience’s usual dungeon crawling formula, with players capturing and calling on demons to help fight monsters. Demon Gaze Extra (PS4, Switch) – January 6įirst released for the PlayStation Vita back in 2013, Demon Gaze is a first-person dungeon crawler where players create their own party of explorers and then pay for the disgustingly expensive lodgings at the local inn.
