00:00Looks like this year, the release season really kicks off right after the slow holiday stretch,
00:04so in this video, I'm breaking down 15 of the best new games coming in February that
00:09you should definitely keep an eye on. What's up guys, it's Braz, and here we go!
00:16Capcom is bringing the hammer down with Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry that
00:21doubles as a massive 30th anniversary celebration. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi, who saved the series
00:27with RE7, this title officially marks a return to the bridge era, the timeline between the
00:31Raccoon City fallout and the fall of Umbrella. The biggest bombshell from the recent TGA reveal
00:36is Leon. Kennedy's return is a co-protagonist alongside Grace, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft
00:42from the cult classic Outbreak. A technical detail that sparked debate is the sauna-to-cold-bath
00:47gameplay loop. Grace's segments focus on pure psychological dread and puzzle-solving,
00:52while Leon's sections pivot to high-octane RE4-style combat. Capcom is pushing its refined
00:58RE engine to the limit, especially on PC. To avoid the optimization disasters seen in Monster
01:04Hunter Wilds, a leaked NVIDIA path-tracing trailer showcased a dense, rain-slicked city hub with
01:10actual traffic and pedestrians, fueling rumors that parts of the game might offer a semi-open world
01:15structure for the first time. Another gameplay change is that Leon's iconic knife parry is being
01:20replaced by an axe mechanic, letting you land more brutal heavier counters against chainsaw-wielding
01:24threats. This is a massive legacy project, aiming to reclaim the survival horror throne from the
01:30Silent Hill resurgence. Team Ninja's A-Team is officially back with Nioh 3, and they aren't
01:38pulling any punches. After a leaked listing on Amazon Japan spoiled the February 6 date, Koei Tecmo
01:43confirmed that the third installment is a direct sequel, moving the timeline forward rather than acting as
01:49another prequel. The standout technical leap here is the transition to a seamless open-field
01:54exploration system. Unlike the mission-based structure of previous titles, Nioh 3 allows you
01:59to freely navigate legendary Japanese regions like Edo Castle and the newly revealed Heian-era
02:05Kyoto without loading screens. The protagonist must navigate a conspiracy involving his own brother
02:10while facing historical figures like Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Fans of the previous games will
02:16appreciate the inclusion of legacy armor sets inspired by William and Hitty, unlocked through
02:20an early purchase bonus. In terms of mechanics, the combat is described as a hybrid of ninja and samurai
02:26styles, offering 14 distinct weapon classes right at launch. A major point of interest for the hardcore
02:31community is the Crucible Challenge Mode, which now supports three-player online co-op in the demo.
02:37While the game targets PS5 and PC, the PlayStation version is the clear priority. Receiving an exclusive demo on
02:44January 29th that allows for save data transfer to the full game.
02:50The world's most cynical goblin returns in Styx Blades of Greed, and the development story behind its
02:55delay is surprisingly wholesome. Originally set for late 2025, Cyanide Studio and Nakin pushed the release
03:02to February 19th, 2026, specifically to add polish and dodge the holiday rush. In a cheeky in-character
03:09message on Steam, Styx himself joked that the devs needed more time to make his boots look
03:13appropriately grimy. This time, the narrative centers on Quartz, the world's most dangerous
03:18resource, in a setting where elves, humans, and orcs are on the brink of total war. Mechanically,
03:24the game is shifting toward a Metroidvania-style progression within massive vertical environments.
03:28Styx has access to upgraded Quartz powers, allowing for even more creative assassinations and
03:34environmental manipulation. One major highlight is the airship heist sequence shown in the extended
03:39gameplay trailer, where you must navigate complex stealth layouts in a 3D space. While some fans were
03:45worried about the series becoming too lighthearted due to the increased dialogue, the devs insist the
03:49core experience remains a punishing technical stealth action title. Milestone is aiming for the
03:57motorcycle historian crowd with Ride 6, the first entry in the series built entirely from the ground up on
04:03Unreal Engine 5. Launching February 12, the game features a radical new career format called RideFest.
04:10Instead of a linear ladder, players explore themed festival zones, picking their own progression paths
04:15and unlocking events built around specific bike categories. The scale is unprecedented, over 340
04:21motorcycles from 21 manufacturers across seven categories, including the debut of Bagger and Maxi
04:27Enduro bikes. A new dual physics system lets you switch between pro and arcade models whenever you want.
04:32Milestone is also introducing off-road racing for the first time in franchise history, adding dirt and
04:38gravel tracks to the 45 location roster. Real-world legends like Casey Stoner and Guy Martin make cameos
04:44in the career mode, serving as disciplined kings you must defeat to progress. For those who jump in early
04:50with the Ultimate Edition, there's a three-day early access period starting February 9th. Visually, the UE5
04:56implementation promises more lifelike bike sounds and breathtaking environments that make the transition from
05:01asphalt to dirt feel palpable. Norse Oath of Blood is a strategic response to the demand for more mature
05:10tactical Viking narratives. Developed by Arctic Hazard, this turn-based tactics title focuses heavily on a
05:16brutal story of betrayal and survival. Set to launch on February 3rd, the game features a narrative-driven
05:22campaign where every decision impacts the loyalty of your warband and the ultimate fate of your clan.
05:28Unlike many generic Viking titles, Norse emphasizes technical depth over arcade action, requiring careful
05:34management of positioning and unit synergies. The game utilizes Unreal Engine 5 to create atmospheric,
05:41fog-drenched Scandinavian landscapes that serve as the backdrop for its grid-based combat.
05:46The devs recently released a free demo to allow players to test the combat systems before launch.
05:50The core loop revolves around raiding for resources while navigating a web of political intrigue within
05:56your own clan. With a confirmed simultaneous release on PS5, Xbox series, and PC, Norse aims to capture the
06:03same dedicated audience that fell in love with games like Banner Saga or Expedition's Viking, but with a
06:08significantly higher visual fidelity and more complex character progression trees.
06:12Squanch Games is dialing the absurdity up to 11 with High on Life 2, arriving February 13 on all
06:21platforms and Day 1 on Game Pass. The most bizarre addition this time is a procedural skateboarding
06:26mechanic, turning alien worlds into literal skateparks where you shoot and kickflip through enemies.
06:31The development hasn't been without its share of Hollywood drama. The studio revealed at Gamescom 2025
06:36that they desperately wanted Danny DeVito to play a speaking gun role, but his agents rejected the
06:42offer, claiming he wouldn't even understand the project. Moving away from the jank of the first
06:47game, the sequel uses UE5 for smoother performance and more complex hub zones like Pinkline Harbor.
06:52A more controversial narrative feature is the inclusion of Bible Adventures, a satirical twist
06:57that has already caused a stir in online forums. Returning with a high-profile lineup, the voice cast
07:03features Ralph Innocent as a major boss, alongside Ken Marino and Betsy Sodaro. Prioritizing weird,
07:09unexpected stuff over traditional FPS tropes, the devs hope to prove that a comedy game sequel
07:13can land just as well as the original breakout hit. Microsoft's multi-platform strategy continues
07:21with Obsidian's Avowed, officially landing on PS5 on February 17, marking its first anniversary.
07:28This isn't just a simple port. It arrives alongside a massive anniversary update for
07:32all platforms. The update expands the pillars of Eternity lore by introducing three new playable
07:38races, Aumawa, Orlan, and Dwarves. Previously, character creation was limited to humans and elves
07:44due to plot constraints. So seeing how these new hitboxes and racial traits change the first-person
07:49combat is a major point of interest for returning players. The PS5 version is officially tagged as PS5
07:55Pro Enhanced, promising superior visuals and performance on Sony's top-tier hardware.
08:00New features in the update include a highly requested photo mode and new Game Plus mode that
08:05carries over gear and abilities into a world with randomized enemy modifiers. Character customization
08:11is also getting an overhaul with new presets, including options for godlike features. Obsidian has also
08:17added quality-of-life fixes for gear and progression, aiming to make this the definitive version of their
08:22Eora-based RPG. Tarsier Studios, the visionaries behind the first two Little Nightmares, are officially
08:31releasing Re-Animal on February 13. Development was confirmed as finalized back in December, so there
08:37shouldn't be any risk of a last-minute delay. This spiritual successor is described as a cooperative
08:42horror adventure that follows a brother and sister through a literal animal hell on a disturbing island.
08:47Unlike their previous shorter works, Re-Animal features a significantly longer campaign,
08:52estimated to last over 10 hours. The technical jump to Unreal Engine 5 has enabled a more visceral
08:58camera system and grotesque, larger-than-life creature designs. That also fits the co-op angle,
09:03since a lot of tension in games like this comes from timing and coordination, not from stats.
09:08A key detail for the Nintendo community, while the game hits PC and current consoles in February,
09:13A version for the upcoming NS2 hardware is already confirmed, with a dedicated demo planned specifically
09:18for the new console. Even though the game is built for cooperative, the demo on Xbox and PS5 is getting
09:24a lot of love for its heavy atmosphere and those creative, unsettling puzzles.
09:30The cult classic Carmageddon brand is roaring back into existence with Carmageddon Rogue Shift,
09:36marking the first mainline entry in 10 years. Developed by Italian studio 34 Big Things,
09:41known for the high-speed Redout series, it represents a massive structural shift for
09:46the franchise, adopting a combat racing roguelite loop set in the year 2050. Humanity is barricaded
09:52in skyscrapers, and the only path to safety is winning the Carmageddon, a chain of lethal races
09:58leading to a spaceport beyond the mountains. Built on UE5, it will feature a visceral damage system.
10:03Windshields, hoods, and bumpers will crumple and fly off with accurate calculations of metal physics.
10:09You'll pilot 15 upgradable vehicles equipped with 13 weapon classes, ranging from shotguns to railguns.
10:17There is already a heated debate in the veteran community regarding the decision to use zombies
10:21or the wasted instead of traditional pedestrians, with some critics labeling it a censored cop-out.
10:27However, the devs insist the move allows for more grotesque, over-the-top violence that fits
10:32the roguelite system. Locked for a February 6 launch, it includes a confirmed version for the Nintendo
10:37Switch 2, and it will be available on Game Pass at launch.
10:43Calypso Media is taking us back to Nevendar with Disciples Domination, arriving February 12.
10:48Set 15 years after Aviana freed the world from the tyranny of the gods, this sequel finds the
10:53realm teetering on the edge of ruin. The narrative focuses on Aviana's doubt, as she sits on the throne
10:58of Illion, haunted by the very power she used to save her people. A major selling point for strategy
11:04fans is the return of the long-lost Mountain Clan's dwarves, though the devs tease that they
11:08might not necessarily be your allies this time. Domination features tactical grid-based battles
11:13with a faster pace and more dynamic events than its predecessor. Players will recruit and upgrade
11:18units from five distinct factions, with a new focus on unit synergies and a refined system of
11:23strengths and weaknesses. Decisions now carry more weight, impacting faction reputation and how the
11:28entire world reacts to your rule in real time. Critics have already pointed out the effective manager
11:33influence at Artifact Studio, questioning if the shift towards more accessible combat will alienate
11:38the hardcore strategy fanbase. Still, with its rich dark fantasy atmosphere and complex companion
11:43interaction system, it aims to be the definitive Modern Disciples experience.
11:50Square Enix is tackling its most gargantuan JRPG with Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, launching February 5.
11:57This remake of the 2000 PlayStation 1 classic uses a beautiful, handmade diorama art style
12:03that mixes Akira Toriyama's iconic designs with modern UE5 lighting. The original game was famously
12:09long, a lot of people spent like 130 hours to finish it, so the reimagined version focuses on
12:14tightening up the story and pacing to make it easier for today's players without losing its heart.
12:19A unique mechanical addition is the Moonlighting System, which allows players to level up two
12:23vocations simultaneously, unlocking skills from two distinct trees. The world exploration centers on
12:29finding stone tablets to restore shards of the world, a process that has been refined to feel less like a
12:35grind. For Nintendo Switch 2 collectors, the physical additions will be game-key cards rather than
12:40traditional cartridges, a detail that has sparked some debate among physical media purists. A free demo
12:46is currently available on all platforms, with save data carrying over to the full release.
12:51The open-world drift sensation JDM Japanese Driftmaster finally slides onto PS5 on February 6th. Priced at
13:0135 bucks, the console port includes all content released since its initial Steam launch, including
13:06the landmarks activity and a suite of performance optimizations. The game is set in the fictional
13:10Guntama Prefecture, featuring over 250 kilometers of visually stunning mountain passes and city streets
13:17rendered in Unreal Engine 5. You play as Tuma, a rookie attempting to conquer the local street
13:21racing scene in a story told through authentic hand-drawn manga panels. PS5 version introduces full
13:27support for adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, which the developers claim makes the transition
13:32between grip and drift feel much more nuanced on the DualSense. A major highlight for launch day is
13:38the Made in USA DLC. Adding six iconic American muscle cars to the JDM Heavy roster for six bucks,
13:44a high-energy Eurobeat radio station is also included, with classic tracks like Running in the 90s.
13:50With its focus on realistic physics and the choice between arcade and simcade driving models,
13:55it aims to be the ultimate celebration of Japanese car culture for PlayStation owners,
14:00launching the same day as Carmageddon Rogue Shift.
14:04Suda51 is back with his first new IP in five years, Romeo is a Dead Man. Launching February 11th,
14:12this blood-soaked action game is the first Grasshopper manufacturer title to be published
14:16entirely in-house. The story follows Romeo Stargazer, a man resurrected by a time paradox who now serves
14:22as an FBI space-time special agent. Wearing a high-tech mask called Dead Gear, Romeo must hunt the
14:27multiverse's most wanted fugitives across shattered dimensions. Suda described the project as a jam session
14:33at a live concert, focusing on ultra-violent, super-sleek hack-and-slash combat. A core mechanic is the
14:39bloody summer special attack, fueled by absorbing the blood of fallen enemies. Suda revealed in a
14:44press release that they won a game of chicken against a major twice-delayed 2026 title, likely
14:49GTA 6, confirming they never actually intended to launch in May. While the game targets 4K performance
14:55on current-gen consoles, a Switch 2 port is also being considered if the engine can be optimized
15:00properly for Nintendo's new hardware. Signature Grasshopper weirdness, pilotable mechs, and a story
15:05that ties the multiverse collapse to the disappearance of Romeo's girlfriend Juliet are all part of the
15:11package. Bandai Namco is delivering the ultimate experience for anime fans with My Hero Academia
15:19Alls Justice, launching February 6th. Unlike previous arena fighters, this entry focuses exclusively on the
15:26anime's final story arc, the final war between heroes and villains. Developed by Biking Inc., the game is a
15:31three-on-three brawler that emphasizes zoning and tactical quirk usage over simple button mashing.
15:37A major new technical feature is the rising mechanic, a transformation that grants temporary
15:42power boosts and enhanced movesets for characters like Bakugo, who gains massive cannons. The game
15:48includes two original modes, Team-Up Mission, which features an open-world hub inspired by the
15:53Spider-Man and Yakuza series, and Hero's Diary, a slice-of-life vignette collection exploring the daily
15:59lives of Class 1A students. Early hands-on previews highlighted the verticality of the fights,
16:04with characters like Deku able to use his lightning whip to navigate stages like a web-swinger.
16:10While the Steam Deck performance is currently described as rough in early builds, the roster
16:14is marketed as the series' largest yet, featuring unique puppet-style combat for characters like
16:19Fumakage.
16:20After a grueling 18-year wait, Japanese developer Genki is finally bringing Tokyo Extreme Racer back
16:28to consoles, with the PS5 version launching on February 25th. Having hit full release on Steam
16:34late last year, the console port is optimized for the PS5 Pro, featuring enhanced lighting and higher
16:39resolutions for its midnight highway runs. The game is a love letter to the early 2000s street racing
16:44scene, tasking players with challenging rival teams along the intricate highway networks of Tokyo.
16:50New technical perks for the console release include the Tuner Summon system, allowing players to call
16:55legendary mechanics to any parking area to handle high-end modifications. The Aura system also makes
17:01a return, where defeating specific rivals increases your car's reputation and visual flair. Genki has been
17:06praised for its generosity, offering the one update for free-to-early-access buyers on PC. On PS5,
17:13the game will retail for $50 and features a detailed roster that includes iconic licensed cars like the
17:18Lexus LFA.
17:22Digixart, the innovative French studio behind Road 96, is exploring a whole new frontier with
17:27Tides of Tomorrow, launching February 24th. Set on the vibrant oceanic planet Alind, this first-person
17:34adventure tasks you with finding a cure for a merciless disease threatening to wipe out humanity.
17:39The standout feature here is an asynchronous multiplayer influence system. When you start
17:44your journey, you must choose another player, whether a friend, a famous streamer, or a total
17:48stranger, to follow. As you explore floating towns and navigate the sea in your boat, you'll witness
17:53echoes or ghosts of your predecessor's actions. If the player before you destroyed a bridge or depleted
17:58a resource, you must deal with the fallout of those choices. The narrative is procedural and changes
18:04dynamically based on a specific combination of choices made by those you follow. Developed in
18:09UE5, the game tackles the environmental crisis theme with a visual style the team jokingly calls
18:14Boat 96. A demo is currently available on Steam, recently patched to improve facial animations and
18:19overall pacing.
18:20The Blazblue franchise is evolving with Blazblue Entropy Effect X, a standalone console release of the
18:30acclaimed Roguelite spin-off, arriving February 12th. This title blends the series' signature combo-heavy
18:36fighting fundamentals with Roguelite build crafting. You'll dive into the sea of possibility, a mysterious
18:41dimension between worlds, to collect shards of possibility and save a collapsing reality. It features a roster of
18:4814 fan-favorite characters, each with fully-realized combat techniques adapted for side-scrolling action.
18:54Console launch includes two high-profile guest characters as Free Day 1 DLC, Icy from Icy, and the
19:00Beheaded from Dead Cells. It's a showcase for precise responsive controls, with the devs emphasizing that the
19:06perfect iframe dodge mechanics from the fighting games remain intact. Every run is fresh, with players
19:12stacking power-ups to create builds that range from precision assassins to elemental grand strategists.
