After the year's sleepy beginning, our list of new 2026 games finally starts bulking up in March. It was the first time this year that I looked at the calendar and thought, oh god, which will I make time to play? But I'm still making my way through Resident Evil Requiem, so I'll worry about that after more Leon Kennedy hours.
It's nice to see that March brings a little something for everyone. You've got the cutthroat PVP extraction shooter, Marathon; a hulking open world action RPG, Crimson Desert; and perhaps the one I'm looking forward to the most, Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake. Perhaps I'll take that back after encountering its nightmarish 'Woman in Box' again, but for now, the rose-colored glasses are shielding me from terror.
There's also Death Stranding 2, launching nine months after its console release, and an early access pick with the roguelike deckbuilding sequel, Slay the Spire 2. If the games we're most excited for this month aren't up your alley, then maybe try checking out our list of cozy game releases in March, or keep scrolling for this month's busy event schedule and some noteworthy updates.
March 5
Marathon (Steam) didn't have the smoothest reveal last year, but Bungie's revival of the classic FPS series turned sci-fi extraction shooter is finally out this month. My opinion on shooters isn't worth a damn, but our resident FPS expert, Morgan Park, sounds like he's fighting for his life in Bungie's brutal cybernetic wasteland. I can already see myself getting shot trying to make a friend, but y'all have fun.
March 6
Slay the Spire 2 (Steam) is out in early access this month, following the same schedule as the original in 2017. Mega Crit estimates the deckbuilder sequel should take about a year or two before it's ready for a 1.0 release, but it sounds like you won't be hurting for new things to do as Slay the Spire 2 launches with its 4-player co-op mode on day one.
March 12
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake (Steam) continues my PS2-to-PC horror agenda by revisiting one of my favorite games of the era, sort of. This one is more like a remake of a remake after the original PlayStation game saw a 2012 upgrade for the Wii, but those of us in North America never got a chance to play. If we get the first and third games on PC, I'll never ask for anything again.
