5 video games to watch in March 2023
Although the release dates for video games are often unstable, we believe the games on our list will most certainly be released this month.
FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (9 March 2023)
This is the fourth game in the FATAL FRAME series. It was first released in Japan in 2008. It is a game about the mysterious disappearance of a group of children during a festivity on Rogetsu Isle.
The kids were eventually found but their memories had become messed up. Three of them who survived, returned to the island after 10 years to figure out what happened to them and their dead friends.
This island isn’t ordinary, it is inhabited by spirits and ghosts which would easily cause harm to anybody who comes to the island. The three girls must explore the island while successfully fending off the attacking ghosts and spirits.
Compared to the 2008 version, this new release features improved graphics, a new snap mode, and new costumes with appealing character models. Its numerous upgrades are aimed at making the game more realistic and scarier to play.
KOEI TECMO America, which is the original developer of this game, has also promised to release a disc and a special Digital Deluxe Edition in Japan for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. This special edition will include a digital art book and the Rogetsu Isle Dinner Party Costume Set.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure (14 March 2023)
The second game on our list was developed by Falcom and published by NIS America. It will be released on 14 March 2023, in North America, on 17 March in Europe, and on 24 March in New Zealand and Australia for PlayStation 4, PC via Steam/Epic Games Store/GOG, and Nintendo Switch.
In a review, Matt S. the editor-in-chief of DDNet emphasized that The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is what a masterpiece looks like. Trails to Azure witnesses the continuation of the story of the aspiring hero Lloyd Bannings.
It follows events from the previous episode, Trials from Zero. In this part, which is set some months before the events of Trails from Zero, the Special Support Section is upgraded with new duties and new members.
A temporary peace had settled over Crossbell just a few months after the numerous events of Trails from Zero and the Section found fame and new status from their heroic actions.
The rise of several organizations with devious motives soon broke the fleeting peace experienced in Crossbell. The increasing pressure from the Republic of Calvard and the Erebonian Empire further exacerbated the tensions.
You will get to experience a lot of action using the new combat features such as a customizable car, Back Attack, and Burst. In this series, a whole new story experience is guaranteed, and saved data can be used to secure bonuses in the forthcoming Trails into Reverie.

Tchia (21 March 2023)
You might be wondering what type of game Tchia is. Well, Tchia is not your regular open-world action-adventure game. It is a thrilling video game that is guaranteed to capture your attention at first sight.
Tchia was developed by Awaceb and published by Kepler Interactive. Awaceb is an independent game studio located in Montreal. The game is tipped to be one of the best indie games of 2023.
A team of 12 people created this game which is heavily inspired by New Caledonia where both founders of Awaceb grew up. In August 2019, the team responsible for the development of this game received funding from Kowloon Nights.
It was originally set for release in 2022 but couldn’t because of a couple of delays. It is scheduled to be released on 21 March 2023, for PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows.

With the gift of “soul jumping,” Tchia can take control of inanimate objects as well as animals and use them to explore new places, defend herself against enemies, and also solve puzzles.
Phil Crifo, one of the developers, said players can soul jump to many objects and more than 30 animals in the game. In her human form, Tchia can operate a raft and a glider, which enables her to get to a couple of difficult areas in the game.
She is also highly skilled and flexible, which enables her to ascend different surfaces, catapult herself across canopies, and quickly slide down a mountain.
There are many points of interest to discover in Tchia, such as chests with cosmetic items, minigames, and thrilling side quests. “Soul-Melodies” can also be used to change in-game weather, alter time, and summon animals for soul jumping.
