Ask anyone who lives outside of the USA and has tried to figure out the release window for a video game, they’ll tell you stop advertising them like that! Quarters are right there and universal!
Anyway, can you believe we’re already coming up to Q2 of 2026? That’s wild. And with March out of the way, April 2026 will kick off that quarter in style, bringing us plenty of new video game releases from across the gamut of genre and production.
Coming to us in the month ahead are some big AAA heavy hitters like PlayStation and Housemarque’s fantastic-looking Saros, or Capcom’s sci-fi babysitting sim, PRAGMATA, plus some quirky goodness like Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and… I Am Jesus Christ. Really? Some really great indie/small-team stuff in the mix too, so make sure to check it all out below:
