Video Games

We've got a major Final Fantasy title releasing onto PC this week, a new metroidvania, a surprise remake of a popular action title, and a beautiful 2D souls-like to talk about this week! The lull in new releases has come to an end, and we're back to glorious gaming bliss.

While we do cover a lot of different video games here at Blizzard Watch (including, you know, Blizzard games), it's not exactly a secret that several of our staff (and readers!) have gotten, to some degree, into Balatro.

Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is one of those games that kind of defies the bulleted list, because it's such a unique little gem of a game, and it's free this week on the Epic Games Store.

Marvel Rivals is the latest hero shooter from developer NetEase, and like Overwatch 2 and Overwatch before it, appears to be engaging with seasonal holidays.

This week we actually have new content! New metroidvanias, new roguelikes, remastered classic RPGs and pursuing Lu Bu are all things we talk about this week!

Well it's finally happened: the Switch 2 has been announced!

Escape Academy is this week's Epic Games Store free game.

Nintendo released a video today finally showcasing what we'd all concluded and then anticipated: they are going to release a Switch 2 console in the near future.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 is nearly over -- and closing in on $2 million raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation -- and while the entire event is always a treat and full of surprises, one of AGDQ 2025's most enjoyable surprises has been the wealth of runs that incorporate music in very unique ways.

We're in the second week of 2025 and unfortunately we're still in the doldrums of new gaming releases, but fear not!
