We are a few days into April, which means its time to take a look ahead at some of the major games releasing throughout the month. We are still in the usual early-year-new-release-drought; but there are still some pretty high profile releases, ports, and remasters coming this way.

Highlights include Outriders, Oddworld: Soulstorm, Shadow Man Remastered, SaGa Frontier Remastered, Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack, Total War: Rome Remastered, R-Type Final 2, New Pokémon Snap, and El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.

The star-jewel of the month is NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, launching April 23rd on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Will it reach the same dizzying success as NieR Automata? Only time will tell.
