These are the game highlights in March for PC, Playstation, Xbox and Switch
Fist-fighting alligators, Chuck Norris chasing gangsters and a cult classic with a fresh lick of paint. Looks like March is going to be entertaining. Here come the game highlights for the upcoming month.
Believe me, you won’t be bored this March. The remake of «Resident Evil 4», the relaxing open-world adventure «Tchia» and the «Bayonetta» spin-off «Cereza and the Lost Demon» will make sure of that, to name just a few. But let’s start with a detective equipped with sharp teeth.
«Brok the InvestiGator»
Terrible puns are right up my alley. As is the mixture of punch-up and puzzle game, or punch & click as the developers call it. Alligator detective Brok not only has a sensitive nose, he’s also pretty good at throwing punches.
«Brok the InvestiGator» is out on 1 March for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.
«Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty»
Team Ninja («Nioh») is working on a new action fantasy game in which you have to defeat sinister demons by the dozens. The complex combat system is designed to make players work up a good sweat.
«Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty» is out on 3 March for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
«Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania»
The Rogue Lite hit from 2018 is receiving extensive DLC. As the name suggests, you can expect a crossover with «Castlevania». What could be more fitting added content than the series serving as the template for the pixelated action game? Whether you’re new to playing «Dead Cells» or simply need a little top-up – you can hardly go wrong with «Return to Castlevania».
«Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania» is out 6 March for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series.

«Resident Evil 4»
«Resident Evil 4» is considered the best part of the zombie series by many fans. The game about the Los Illuminados sect in the fictional Spanish village of Pueblo is already 18 years old. The visuals and gameplay are a bit outdated. But this is something the remake aims to change to make it accessible to gamers like me. The kind who’ve missed out on playing this classic. Shame on me, I know. A free VR mode will be added after release. Initially only for PS VR2, however.
«Resident Evil 4» is out on 23 March for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chBeing the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
