All the new video games launching in March 2024

There have been so many great games to play in recent months that we’ve hardly had a chance to breathe (much less catch up on our backlogs). That might finally be changing in March, as the release schedule is slightly less busy than it has been in recent months. But even a quiet month still has some big new video games, including Dragon’s Dogma 2, Princess Peach: Showtime!, and Rise of the Ronin all launching on the same day.

Best new video games of March 2024

WWE 2K24

Release date: March 8

Systems: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC

The annual wrestling game tradition continues as WWE 2K returns in 2024 with a host of new and familiar features alike, including two career arcs in MyRISE mode, collecting and building a faction of your favorite wrestlers in MyFACTION, running the show in MyGM, and the recreation of some of WWE’s biggest moments in 2K Showcase of the Immortals.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

Release date: March 22

Systems: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

Over the years, Capcom’s 2012 open-world action RPG Dragon’s Dogma has developed a cult following. While it has plenty in common with other big action RPGs, it gives the player far more freedom and flexibility than many of its closest rivals. 12 years later, Dragon’s Dogma 2 looks to build upon everything that made the first game such a unique hit.

Princess Peach: Showtime!

Systems: Switch

Finally, Princess Peach gets to star in another game. In Princess Peach: Showtime!, you play as Mushroom Kingdom’s princess as she attempts to save the Sparkle Theater from the evil Grape and the Sour Bunch. Along the way, you will don a variety of costumes that give Peach special abilities, including a cowgirl, a ninja, a detective, and a figure skater.

Rise of the Rōnin

Release date: March 22

Systems: PS5

Rise of the Ronin is a new open-world action RPG from Team Ninja set in war-torn 19th-century Japan. This is the same studio behind Ninja Gaiden and the Nioh series, but we wouldn’t blame you if you first thought it might be Ghost of Tsushima 2. In the game, you can explore the cities of Yokohama, Kyoto, and Edo by horse, grappling hook, and glider.

Pepper Grinder

Release date: March 28

Systems: Switch, PC

Every few months, an incredible 2D platformer arrives to remind us that not every game needs to be the size of a Grand Theft Auto 5 or Final Fantasy 16. I’m hoping Pepper Grinder will be the latest, with its killer pixel art and a blue-haired pirate protagonist in search of her stolen treasure with the assistance of a super-powered drilling device.

Those are the highlights, but here are some other notable new video games in March:
