I'm only including AAA games. More on that below. So, in March, we got:
3/3 - Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
3/9 - Skull & Bones
3/17 - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
3/24 - Resident Evil 4 remake
In June, we're scheduled to get:
6/2 - Street Fighter 6
6/6 - Diablo IV
6/22 - Final Fantasy XVI
I'd like to include Have a Nice Death in March, but it's hard to gauge how big an indie gets 1. in general before it releases and 2. even if it's in Early Access, its hype and success may peak in Early Access. However, HaND's Early Access version has 5k+ reviews on Steam w/ an 87% approval rate (96% approval in recent reviews). So it could be a huge indie hit once it hits retail release, ala Hades or Dead Cells.
As a side note, February is also loaded (Hogwarts, Wild Hearts, Atomic Heart, LaD: Ishin, Octopath 2, Destiny 2 expansion), and I was thinking of actually including it w/ March as a long stretch, but felt that was unfair to June lol. And March has the major hitters in SW and RE, so it's more fair vs June's list of legendary franchises.
Also, System Shock remake/reboot is schedule for just "March 2023", but decided to only include games w/ street dates.
