The Biggest Games Releasing in April 2025

April continues Microsoft’s impressive record of produces. &nbsp,

After years of watching the firm fish when it came to getting critically-acclaimed activities out the door, the organization is on the spree. &nbsp,

Indiana Jones in December, Avowed in February, and then South of Evening in March. We know Doom: The Dark Ages and Ninja Gaiden 4 are also coming, and stories continue to support of Xbox theater Bethesda releasing a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, in the near future.

There are tons of activities coming to new programs, too. Microsoft’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Forza Horizon 5 both arrive on PlayStation 5. And from Sony, The Last of Us Part II Enhanced hits PC, while Time Gone Enhanced hits PlayStation 5 and Computers.

Yet without Microsoft’s produces and the variety of platform-hopping names, there’s still a lot to look forward to this month, including the return of an old-school classic RPG line, a rogue-like issue game, and a French-developed role-playing activity.

South of Evening

From the team behind We Happy Few comes South of Evening, an action game set in the American Deep South. 

As Hazel, a newly awakened Weaver, you’ll discover Southern tradition through legendary dogs and haunted bayous, mastering wonderful abilities to fight Haints and save your family.

Blue Prince

A rogue-like puzzle-solver sound like the level of pain. A cardio of issue solving? No regards! And still, Blue Prince is an amazing idea for a sport. &nbsp,

At the start of each move, you’ll establish the Mt. Holly castle room by room, solving the puzzle one area at a time and then deciding what kind of room—storeroom, hallway, or something else — comes next. &nbsp,

Each area is a new issue, each’ work’ is a new home design created by you.

Lunacid: Grief of the Moon

The time of the original PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64 are far enough back that we’re now in a nostalgia time for the special, otherworldly appearance of those game, the same way we were with 8 and 16-bit games. &nbsp,

Lunacid, a dungeon-crawler RPG inspired by games like King’s Field, was a perfect example. Now, the team behind that game is taking it even more literally. &nbsp,

This sequel-spinoff is not only inspired by games of that time, but it’s also made using the tools of that time. This game was built in Sword of Moonlight, King’s Field’s development environment.

You can’t really get much more authentic than that.

Lushfoil Photography Sim

We spend a lot of time shooting things in video games, and not nearly as much time shooting things. That is to say, taking photos. &nbsp,

Lushfoil Photography Sim from Annapurna Interactive lets you wander around a variety of locations around the world, built in stunning detail in Unreal Engine 5, taking photos. &nbsp,

There are, of course, goals to complete and secrets to find, but the primary goal is to have a chill time taking photos. The in-game camera mimics a real-life DSLR with all the settings you’d expect, but unlike real life, you can manipulate things like the angle of the sun and weather to get the perfect photo. &nbsp,

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle ( PlayStation 5 )

Indiana Jones was a huge surprise when it hit in December. Expectations were reserved among many gamers–would it be just Uncharted with Indiana Jones? Would Troy Baker’s Harrison Ford feel like a pale imitation? &nbsp,

Instead, we found maybe the most authentic Indiana Jones story since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

It emphasized exploring, solving puzzles, and punching, not shooting, Nazis. Really, everything Indy is known for.

Now, four months later, this stellar game is coming to PlayStation 5 as perhaps the biggest game yet to make the leap from Xbox to PlayStation.

Lunar Remastered Collection

For this writer, the Lunar games were a genuinely formative experience. &nbsp,

A fun RPG with voice acting and anime cutscenes? They’re a dime a dozen these days, with games featuring hundreds of hours of voice acting instead of dozens of minutes. &nbsp,

Even so, the Lunar games were a hallmark moment for Japanese RPG games, and we’re stoked to have it back on modern systems. &nbsp,

The remaster features spruced-up art ( and the ability to switch between classic and remastered modes ), all-new voice acting, the option to speed up battles, and more.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a terrible title for a game. &nbsp,

It’s hard to remember and spell for English-speaking audiences, it doesn’t tell us much about what the game might be about ( every game is a straightforward but obscure expedition when you think about it ), and it has an unnecessary colon in the middle of the title. &nbsp,

Even so, we’re stoked that this French-developed RPG has a unique visual identity and setting, as well as a stellar voice cast featuring Charlie Cox ( Daredevil ), Jennifer English ( Baldur’s Gate III ), Ben Starr ( Final Fantasy XVI), and Andy Serkis ( Lord of the Rings ).

The positive previews suggest fun gameplay, but we can’t know for sure until we get our hands on it.

Ratatan

Close your eyes and listen. RA-TA-TAN. RA-TA-TAN. Does the rhythm feel familiar? &nbsp,

If so, you probably enjoyed Patapon, the cult-classic rhythm game on the PlayStation Portable, released all the way back in 2007. &nbsp,

Ratatan is a spiritual successor in development by a team that includes members of the team behind Patapon. &nbsp,

The developer hasn’t set a firm date, but says we can expect the game in April. And thankfully, it’s coming out on a bunch of platforms, so it likely won’t become an absolute bear to find fifteen years from now.
