Hoppy April, everybunny! Whether the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, or it’s cold and raining, nothing can prevent the release of exciting new video games for you to stay inside and play! You can fly over LA on a robot bird in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores out on the 19th, or visit the zombie ridden HelL-A in Dead Island 2, which is available on the 21st. There’s many more new games this month so stick around to find out all about April’s biggest game releases!

1. Creed Rise to Glory Championship Edition - PSVR 2 (April 4th): This boxing game was previously released on other VR platforms, but has been tightened up for Sony's new PSVR 2.

Nothing for me, but the previous months have been absolutely packed so there's tons to play still.

Looks like another backlog month for me. In the final stretch with DMC5:SE but I will not Platinum it for now. Then time to power through Horizon FW and at least beat it in time for Burning Shores. Still waiting for that 60fps patch for River City Girls 2 so I can go for my 100th Platinum.
