3 Biggest Game Releases In SA This Week

As we begin to see the tail-end of February, we get some big-hitters landing on SA store-shelves this week, including a highly-anticipated zombie survival adventure, a super-powered fighter, and a returning fright-fest.

What will you be playing this week?

Dying Light

(27 February – PS4, Xbox One, PC – digital version already available)

Techland is continuing its zombie hack-and-slash fighting from Dead Island with publisher WB. The title introduces parkour-style traversal and traps to the mix. It’s Mirror’s Edge meets Dead Rising, and did we mention it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Dying Light released digitally already and has been receiving some great praise from international publications for its freedom, AI and visuals. We’ve gotten our paws on it and are absolutely loving it so far – expect the MenStuff review shortly.

 Dragon Ball Xenoverse

(24 February – PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC)

Dragon Ball Z returns this week thanks to a new game which puts a heavy emphasis on character creation and changing of timelines.

Players can create characters from multiple races, with the ones available being Saiyans, Namekians, Earthlings, Majins and Frieza’s currently unnamed race. XenoVerse will also be the first Dragon Ball game released on some eighth generation consoles as well as PC.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 – Episode 1

(24 February -PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC)

A horror classic also makes its return this week, albeit in a little bit of a different format than usual.

Designed as a series of terrifying episodes, Resident Evil Revelations 2 unfolds across four adventures drawn taut with dramatic cliff-hangers and gripping horror gameplay.

The game will be set between the events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6. Claire Redfield will be the main protagonist and Barry Burton’s daughter Moira will play a supporting role

The full retail release will be out in in South Africa on 20th March, 2015.
