The first few months of the year are a bit lackluster

It rarely happens the first few months of the year don't bring any major releases. It looks like 2021 is one of those years that will make us wait until Q2 to get some triple A titles. However, this February is not entirely uneventful when it comes to new releases, on the contrary, we have some big franchises returning.

The first important title coming out this month is Destruction AllStars, which is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 on February 2. It is followed by Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood releasing for PC and consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S) on February 4. On the same day, two other games are set for release on PC and Nintendo Switch: Blue Fire and Nuts.

One day later, Nioh 2 The Complete Edition lands on PC. After almost a year of PS4 exclusivity, Team Ninja's masterpiece arrives on the most popular gaming platform on February 5. Alongside Nioh 2's PC release, Team Ninja is bringing The Nioh Collection to PlayStation 5 on the same day.

The indie horror Little Nightmares 2 will launch on PC and consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) on February 11, followed by Nintendo's Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, which will be out on February 12.

Persona 5 Strikers, a hack and slash RPG that's better described as a crossover between Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors franchise and Atlus's Persona 5, is set for release on PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on February 23.

Indie roguelite Curse of the Dead Gods lands on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on the same day, and is followed by Nintendo Switch's release of Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection on February 25. Two other Nintendo Switch releases are expected to happen at the end of the month: Bravely Default 2 and Capcom Arcade Stadium.

Finally, at least three games will enter Steam Early Access this month: Rustler (February 18), Hellish Quart, and Century: Age of Ashes.
