After a blockbuster Q1 period of highly anticipated new releases, April feels like a good time to catch your breath when you look at what’s out this month. That’s not to say that it’s going to be an entirely chill month as there are some intriguing new titles to look forward to, but if you’re wanting to scratch a few games off of your backlog list, now is the time to get cracking. So what is on the horizon for April?
Metroidvania fans will be in their element with several games this month, ranging from a biological journey inside of a faithful pooch to an African odyssey to restore order to a world where the dead deserve to rest in piece. Then there’s Children of the Sun, a slick puzzle game where you have to figure out how to use a single bullet to strategically ventilate cultist heads. The late Akira Toriyama’s Sand Land is also being revived from a decades-long slumber as a fun-looking adventure game, and we’ll see you in court for a few rounds of tennis in TopSpin 2K25.
Lastly, PlayStation owners can look forward to two more games from Microsoft, as Obsidian’s Grounded and Rare’s Sea of Thieves will arrive on PS5 in April. As for May, next month has quite a few high-profile releases on the horizon, including the PC port of Ghost of Tsushima, Homeworld 3, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
