In a blink of an eye, March is nearly here. We’ve had two fantastic months of video game releases, and March looks just as amazing. We have an iconic horror franchise bringing our favorite installment back to life to a Lovecraftian-inspired fishing simulator and everything in between. So without further ado, let’s dive into our list of March’s most anticipated video games!

Resident Evil 4 Remake
That’s right, folks – Resident Evil 4 Remake is almost here. Our favorite horror game series from Capcom has been going down the remake track these last few years, and we are finally at one of our absolute favorites. Who doesn’t want to relive the story of Leon’s mission to save the world and save the President’s daughter? It’s a terrifying thriller with all the goodies we love in our Resident Evil games. All of the graphical and gameplay updates look utterly incredible, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.
Resident Evil 4 Remake drops on March 24, 2023, for PC through Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Have a Nice Death
Have a Nice Death is a hand-drawn 2D-action roguelike from Gearbox Publishing and Magic Design Studios, where gamers will assume the role of Death, Founder and CEO of Death Incorporated, the giant underworld organization responsible for processing souls in the afterlife. As the company’s supreme leader, they will explore the darkly charming, procedurally generated departments of the corporation’s headquarters to round up and rehabilitate rogue employees who have been ignoring company protocol by snatching up far too many souls on Earth.
Have a Nice Death releases on March 22, 2023, on the Nintendo Switch. Gamers can check out the PC early access now on Steam.

Dredge
What could be more relaxing than a fishing RPG game? Black Salt Games’ Dredge just wants you to sit back, relax, catch some fish, upgrade your boat and dredge up long-buried secrets. The best part about this fishy tale is the connections to Lovecraftian-themed monsters and mysteries just waiting to be uncovered. The incredible art style adds to the ominous tones that slowly come to light as the trailer goes on. It looks like it will be perfect for those who love little simulator games and those invested in Lovecraftian horror.
Dredge sets sail on March 30, 2023, for PC through Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and the Nintendo Switch.
Way to the Woods
We have been waiting quite some time for Onepixel.dog’s Way to the Woods, getting our first look at the game all the way back in 2019 at E3. It is a linear, melancholic game about two deer in a desolate world who must find their way home. It promises to be a soft yet inspiring adventure game with light puzzle aspects and a killer soundtrack.
Way to the Woods will release in March of 2023 for PC through Steam, PS4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.
Know by heart
If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy Ice-Pick Lodge’s Know by heart, now is your chance. The story-rich adventure game was released last year on PC through Steam and is now making its way to consoles. The game follows a group of friends who reconnect after years apart. They revisit old memories and rekindle their friendship. But something is lurking in the shadows that will threaten to ruin this reunion, and there might be nothing they can do about it. The game explores many concepts that sneak up on you when you least expect them.
Know by heart will release on the Nintendo Switch on March 9, 2023.
Storyteller
Speaking of prolonged development cycles, we have to talk about Daniel Benmergui and Annapurna Interactive’s Storyteller. This is a narrative-puzzle game that was first announced a decade ago. Development on this ambitious project was delayed in 2014, but we can now see the end of the tunnel. The game’s comic-strip puzzles let you remix classic stories, like Dracula, using various props, verbs and nouns. The idea behind Storyteller is intriguing and makes our nerdy literary hearts soar.
Storyteller drops on March 23, 2023, for PC through Steam and on the Nintendo Switch.

The Wreck
Visual novels are the type of video game that links those hardcore gamers with those just getting into video games. And one we are beyond excited to check out is The Pixel Hunt’s The Wreck. The story follows failed screenwriter Junon as she attempts to make it through the most pivotal day of her life. Players will need to relive Junon’s day over and over in an attempt to flip the outcome from ending in a tragic wreck. The story deals heavily with loss, trauma, toxic relationships and more that come together to give us a beautiful story.
The Wreck releases on March 14, 2023, for PC through Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and the Nintendo Switch.
