Top Video Games to Watch This Winter Season
Resident Evil Requiem
Table of Contents
Horror will be the focus this winter,notably in Resident Evil Requiem,the next installment in the legendary series that dominates the genre. Requiem features both new protagonist Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst who embodies the “survival” aspect that made the early games popular, and Leon S. Kennedy,protagonist of several Resident Evil games,who offers a gameplay design more focused on action.
These two aspects that make up the DNA of the series will be presented to players alternately throughout a story in which the two protagonists explore the ruins of Raccoon City in parallel. Fans of Resident Evil 2 (1998) and 3 (1999) – as well as their remakes, released in 2019 and 2020 respectively – will surely recognise the playing field.
Resident Evil Requiem and its frights, set in a world filled with zombies and other strange biological weapons, arrives on February 27th on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
Tides of Tomorrow
From the creators of the very accomplished Road 96 (2021), Tides of Tomorrow takes up the formula of a narrative game with some procedurally generated elements, but adds a unique twist to stand out: asynchronous multiplayer.
Indeed, while exploring the floating platforms that make up the oceanic planet Elynd, which is grappling with a deadly plasticization phenomenon, each player will have to synchronize their game with that of another player.Throughout each chapter, you will witness visions showing the actions of the player who went through the level before you, which will give you clues about the paths to take or offer a glimpse into the personality of the person behind the controller.
The characters that make up the world will also react to the actions of previous players. A merchant who has been robbed, for example, will be more defensive during your game.
Tides of Tomorrow and its story, which is themed around climate change, will be available on February 24, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
