Among March’s releases are a long-awaited next chapter in a beloved franchise, the chance to step into the ring to test yourself against the very best or take the first steps into a new world, either with a friend or alone. These are just some of the adventures that await this month for gamers to enjoy.
Two Point Museum
Curate your own collection of wonders in this latest from the world of Two Point. Two Point Museum is all about creating the ultimate guest experience and having the best collection around. As Curator, players will be able to design each aspect of their museum and help it grow. Maintain your exhibits and send out your team of intrepid explorers to find even more. Explore new lands for the hidden treasure within and bring them home to wow your guests. Just keep an eye out for exuberant children and nimble finger thieves to make sure nothing too bad happens to your prized collection.
Players who pre-order will unlock a pack containing items and outfits themed around Sonic The Hedgehog. The Explorer Edition includes a copy of the base game, up to five days Early Access, 5000 Kudosh, exclusive map location and pop-up challenge museum, Prestige Package containing a high level item to start your museum with, additional interactive display and decorative items, unique statues, additional floor decorations and wallpapers, a bonus Staff Replenishment Trunk and Explorer themed ticket desks, helicopter skin and staff outfit.
Two Point Museum will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC from March 4*
Split Fiction
Two worlds collide in this co-op adventure from Hazelight Studios. In Split Fiction, players will take control of one of two writers – Zoe or Mio. After becoming trapped in their own stories thanks to a malfunctioning machine, the two must work together across worlds to find a way out of the chaos with their memories still intact. With their contrasting styles – Mio’s work is based on sci-fi while Zoe’s is fantasy based – players will have to work together, using each other’s own unique skills to survive. From taming dragons to battling evil trolls or facing off with cyber ninjas and trying to stop a rogue robot from destroying everything around them, there will never be a dull moment to be had.
As with previous games from Hazelight, Split Fiction comes with a Friend’s Pass. This will allow players to connect and play using only one copy of the game, even across platform. In order to do this, one player must own the full game and the other must install the Friends Pass and have an applicable platform account to play online.
Split Fiction will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC from March 6*
WWE 2K25
Rule beyond the ring with this year’s WWE 2K release. With a roster of over 300 playable characters, WWE 2K25 is all about how players want to test their skills in and out of the ring. From taking part in iconic matches like the Royal Rumble or Hell in a Cell, reliving some of the greatest moments of the Bloodline in this year’s Showcase, or changing the rules and heading for the Underground there is something for everyone to enjoy. Those looking for a different kind of competition can take on their friends in up to four-player online co-op for MyGM – building their rosters and trying to out manoeuvre your rivals to create the true A show. For the first time in WWE 2K, players will also be able to explore The Island – a new and immersive WWE themed world on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 where players can upgrade their custom superstars by completing quests, taking on different challenges, and competing in live events for the chance to take your seat at the table.
All editions of WWE 2K25 will include a digital copy of WWE 2K24 Standard Edition for their platform. Players who pre-order the Standard Edition before March 13* will unlock the Wyatt Sicks pack with MyFACTION card for the group and Uncle Howdy & Nikki Cross masks for The Island.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Two paths intertwine in feudal Japan in the latest chapter in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players will explore Japan in the final years of the Sengoku period – a time of civil war and unrest in the country – through the eyes and actions of two very different people. Naoe is an adept Shinobi Assassin searching for answers and vengeance for the death of her father. Yasuke is a former slave turned skilled Samurai in the service of the warlord Oda Nobunaga. After their paths cross in the Iba province, the two ally themselves to each other so they try and find their way in this ever-changing land and what forces are at work both in the light of day and the shadows of night.
Players who pre-order any edition will unlock the bonus mission Thrown to The Dogs and will be able to play the first expansion Claws of Awaji when it launches later this year. The Deluxe Edition – which is also available via Ubisoft+ subscription – contains the base game, five Mastery points and the Deluxe Pack, containing numerous Sekiryu items for your hideout, a Sekiryu gear set for both Naoe and Yasuke, two bonus Katana – Eye of the Dragon and Claw of the Dragon – a Sekiryu Beast mount and Dragon Tooth trinket.

The First Berserker: Khazan
Explore an untold story from the world of Dungeon Fighter Online with this action RPG. Taking place in the Pell Los Empire in the Arad continent, The First Berserker: Khazan takes players through the titular character’s story as he seeks revenge. After being framed for treason, Khazan – once a celebrated General who saved his people from the Berserk Dragon – is arrested, brutally tortured and cast out into exile in the mountains to die. With severed tendons in both arms, players must restore this once proud warrior to his full strength before embarking on a quest for revenge that will change the Empire and Arad forever.

Atomfall
Uncover the truth in this survival adventure inspired by real life events. Taking place in an alternate timeline where the Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957 rendered much of northern England radioactive, Atomfall will take the player to the quarantine zone in the Lake District five years later as they try and figure out the truth of what really happened at Windscale, but also themselves as they have no memory of travelling north. Along the way, players will be able to explore what is left of this once idyllic part of England and what has been left behind in the fallout, where new powers have risen and laid claim to the land – including doomsday cults, rogue military and even robots left behind by the British Atomic Research Division.
Players who pre-order will unlock a Basic Supply Bundle to help them get started. The Deluxe Edition includes the base game, up to three days of Early Access, Basic Supply Bundle, an Enhanced Supply Bundle and the Story Expansion Pack post launch. The Quarantine Edition – which is only available on PC via the Rebellion Store – includes the base game, all the content of the Deluxe Edition, an exclusive T-shirt, digital graphic novel, digital poster & postcard and a digital copy of the game’s soundtrack.
