After a truly excellent January, 2024 continues with an equally interesting February. In fact, one of the most anticipated games of recent years is arriving this month, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: the second part of the ambitious remake of the great Square Enix classic promises to involve us in an even more spectacular and exciting adventure, exclusively on PS5.

Speaking of long waits, we will also see the debut of two very controversial products: on the one hand Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which will have the arduous task of convincing quite a few skeptics of the goodness of its live service structure; on the other Skull and Bones, one of the most postponed projects ever but which is finally ready to demonstrate its qualities.

Here are all the games coming out in February on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Persona 3 Reload

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Releasing on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on February 2nd

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will make its debut in February, at the end of a very long wait: almost nine years have passed since the release of Rocksteady Studios' last title and there is so much curiosity about the new tie-in created from the authors of the Batman: Arkham saga; series to which the game is also linked, given that the setting is the same.

What changes is the city, a Metropolis in this case put on fire by the troops of Brainiac, the very powerful alien who somehow managed to subdue the members of the Justice League, bending them to his will. And this is where Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot and King Shark enter the scene, tasked by Amanda Waller with kill the various Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Flash.

Characterized by third-person shooter mechanics and a live service structure that will be progressively updated with new free content (with the exception of aesthetic elements), Rocksteady's action RPG will provide us with different skills and powers depending on the character used, with the possibility of tackle the campaign solo or in online cooperative for a maximum of four participants.

On a narrative level it seems like a great job was done, but will the facility prove to be as fun, varied and deep as expected from the English team? While waiting for the review, find a first answer in our review of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
