New games releasing this week: March 6 – March 12

4.5

Not that many of us are over Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – let alone February’s crowded release schedule! – but here come some more games anyway.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands looks to go big. The beta drew record numbers and we’re keen to see how its more traditional open-world-with-co-op stands alongside Ubisoft’s growing suite of online service games like Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor and The Division.

The other major drop this week is Nier Automata. This sequel to a cult classic Drakengard spin-off is like catnip to We The Cult of Yoko Taro, but its Platinum Games action stylings seem to have a lot of hearts thanks to the popular demo. In this day and age…!

Fighting fans may want to revisit Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 as it comes to PC and Xbox One this week. It’s also being re-released on PS4 at actual shops, if you don’t have the digital version.

Also, LEGO Worlds comes to consoles and out of beta on PC. This one’s quietly shifting some serious units behind the scenes, so we should all probably start paying attention to it.
