Anywho, let's delve into what is coming out during the shortest month of the year, even with the extra day this year.
February 5th:
XCOM 2 - (PC, Mac, Linux)
Get ready to send countless soldiers to their demise with the next entry in the rebooted XCOM franchise. I was a huge fan of Enemy Unknown and the expansion Enemy Within, so I am definitely looking forward to this one.
February 9th:
Firewatch - (PC, Mac, Linux, PS4)
Gorgeous first-person adventure game from Campo Santo. Now we can finally answer the question, "What the f**k is Firewatch?"
February 16th:
Project X Zone 2 - (3DS)
Street Fighter V - (PC, PS4)
Speaking of Capcom and fighting games, Street Fighter finally counts to 5 with the newest addition to the storied franchise. The return of old favorites, some brand new characters, and cross-platform play all add up to something I have been looking forward to for a long time. We shall see just how many iterations of 5 we end up getting. Also, I will be doing a launch day LIVE STREAM on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/jeff_mcfly) when the game is released. More info to come.
February 19th:
Fire Emblem Fates - (3DS)
The premier Nintendo tactical strategy game returns with Fates. This time, the game will come in two different forms with Birthright and Conquest. Kotaku put out a good article describing how this actually works, which you can check out HERE.
February 23rd:
Far Cry Primal - (Xbox One, PS4)
Seems like this game was just announced and here we are just weeks away from the game launching. I am actually way stoked for this game as I have loved this series, and prehistoric times seems like a bold and potentially amazing setting to put this series in.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 - (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
I adored the first game and all I needed as a selling point for this was "Yo, we are making a second one". More classes, more modes, more mayhem. I am totally in! Expect a launch day stream of this one as well.
Other Notes:
- The Assassin's Creed Chronicles trilogy concludes with Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia due out February 9th for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If you haven't been playing these games, you can also buy the Assassin's Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack which includes all 3 games, also due out the 9th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
- Did you miss Dying Light? SHAME! (ding) SHAME! (ding). It just missed out on my top 10 games of the year for 2015 and you have another chance with Dying Light: The Following. It's a stand-alone expansion adding new characters and a new story, but the "enhanced version" is basically a Dying Light complete package, including the game and all DLC. Due out February 9th on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
- Unravel, the very adorable yarn based platformer comes out on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on (you guessed it) February 9th. Maybe have that day free for gaming.
- The insane cult-favorite Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc comes to PC on February 18th. I have heard a lot about this franchise and look forward to seeing why this game is so popular. I also expect to be thoroughly confused.
- Superhot was a super cool demo a while ago. A shooter based on movement and slo-mo mechanics which being visually striking. A full release is happening February 25th on PC, Mac and Linux.
- You all know how much I LOVE Rocket League, right? Well the best sports game of 2015 is now coming full circle and is listed as TBD for Xbox One in February.
- February 21st will mark the 2-year anniversary of the Jeff of All Games Blog! To celebrate, I will be running live streams most of the day of both new releases and old favorites. Stay tuned to the blog for future updates and exact times.
==========================================================================
Man, that's a lot of stuff so soon into the year. As always, these dates are scheduled to change and other games may sneak in and be amazing that aren't listed here. Just think, we are a few weeks away from Deadpool in theaters!!!! Happy February! :)
