about 1 month ago, by Enzo

March 2026 promises to be one of the best months of the year for gamers, with a slew of releases covering just about every genre. Whether you're a fan of RPGs, simulations, action games, or iconic franchises, this period promises some great experiences across a range of platforms. Here's our overview of the most anticipated titles of the month with our first selection.

Let's start with the star of the moment, none other than Crimson Desert. This ambitious open-world action RPG features a brutal and immersive universe, ideal for fans of epic stories. After numerous teasers via trailers, it's almost time to get your hands on it and find out if it lives up to its promises. Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori is an adventure game with a fascinating historical context, also set in an open world, combining horse riding and immersive exploration in landscapes inspired by medieval Mongolia.

On the simulation side, Docked invites you to take charge of a port undergoing reconstruction: management, strategy, and logistical challenges set the pace for this title, which is a departure from the usual genres. The roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire 2 marks the return of the franchise with this brand new installment, which notably adds coop.

Now it's time for Marathon, which could be one of the most uncertain bets of the month. The latest project developed by Bungie, the title offers a dynamic shooting experience in a sci-fi universe, perfect for fans of fast-paced action. Will it do better than the latest games of its kind that have gone a similar formula?

Let's now head off to a much more colorful universe. Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is the highly anticipated sequel to the cinematic puzzle-platformer, combining a poetic atmosphere, immersive storytelling, and creative puzzles. The only Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive in our selection, Pokémon Pokopia takes a unique approach to the Pokémon universe, where you play as a Ditto and build your own community, combining life simulation and exploration.

Card game enthusiasts will enjoy Poker Night at the Inventory, a remaster of the original title. It's the nostalgic return of a humorous crossover bringing together unusual characters around a poker table. Kromlech is a fantasy action-adventure game that stands out thanks to its universe inspired by Celtic mythology and its immersive visual style. Dark Switch is an original title combining strategy and vertical construction along a giant tree trunk.

Finally, we are also getting a big expansion for World of Warcraft. Midnight promises even deeper immersion in the universe with new narrative content and areas. Several ports to Nintendo Switch 2 are also arriving this month: Disney Dreamlight Valley, the excellent Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and the pixelated prison escape RPG Back to the Dawn.

With this first selection now complete, the second part will be published very soon. It features many other games that break the mold and continue to show that March 2026 is a month rich in releases. Get your credit card and wish list ready, as it could well grow dramatically over the next few weeks.
