Somehow, January has already come and gone, which means a new month is upon us with several highly anticipated games. While January was mainly filled with remastered titles and ports, February features several new releases across a range of genres. Plenty of people are already looking forward to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, while others, like our group, can’t wait until the end of the month for Monster Hunter Wilds. To keep us busy until then, there’s something for everyone, from Sid Meier’s Civilization VII to Avowed, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage to Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Check out FullCleared’s picks for the top games to play in February 2025 below.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The long-awaited sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, looks to improve on every aspect of the original. This story-driven RPG is set in 15th-century Medieval Europe and tells the story of Henry of Skalitz, who embarks on a journey to avenge his murdered parents. Featuring authentic first-person combat, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has players guide Henry through bustling city streets to lush forests in a world that remembers his actions forever.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II releases on February 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Rift of the NecroDancer
Not to be confused with Crypt of the NecroDancer, Rift of the NecroDancer is the next game from Brace Yourself Games, assisted by Tic Toc Games. The NecroDancer returns in an all-new rhythm game featuring over 30 Rhythm Rift tracks from Danny Baranowsky, Jules Conroy, Alex Moukala, Josie Brechner, Sam Webster, and Nick Nausbaum. Along with hand-crafted levels, Rift of the NecroDancer offers a Remix Mode with a fresh beatmap for every playthrough while retaining the original level’s rhythmic design. There are even some minigames to enjoy, including a boppin’ yoga class.
Rift of the NecroDancer releases on February 5 for PC.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII
There are very few franchises in the gaming industry that are as well known and established as Sid Meier’s Civilization. The latest entry, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, comes nearly nine years after the release of Civilization VI, so fans have high expectations for the award-winning strategy game. The newest entry will once again allow players to rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history, enabling them to create their own story as they choose a new civilization to represent their empire in each Age of human advancement. The game promises to deliver plenty of gameplay improvements to excite both veterans and newcomers.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII releases on February 11 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.
Date Everything!
With the rising popularity of the dating sim genre, it was only a matter of time before a game like Date Everything! would be released. The premise is simple: a mysterious stranger sends magical glasses called dateviators that bring the house to life and make it dateable. Learn the stories of each dateable object as they reveal themselves, choosing which ones might potentially become your lovers, friends, or enemies. Date Everything! features 100 fully voice-acted dateable characters, ranging from your bed to the smoke alarm and, well, everything in between.
Date Everything! releases on February 14 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II
The Legend of Heroes series continues with The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II. Players will return once again to the Calvard Republic to unravel the mystery of the crimson beast. As chaos looms on the horizon, Van Arkride receives an unexpected visitor, causing him to start his own investigation. The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II builds on the seamless transition between field battles and command battles introduced in the previous game by adding new mechanics that can be used in both, Cross Charge and EX Chains. Help Van discover who or what is behind a series of shocking murders in the next installment of this popular RPG series.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II releases on February 14 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered
The legacy of Lara Croft continues to be remastered with this latest compilation from Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the remastered collection of the Darkness Trilogy and includes Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Like other Aspyr remastered projects, players can swap between classic and remastered visuals at any time while reliving these classics.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered releases on February 14 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (Tape 1)
From the original creators of Life is Strange, DON’T NOD, comes Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. This new narrative journey goes back to the 1990s, as players live through the defining summer of four high school girls who experience an unexplained event that forever changes their lives. Featuring dual timelines, one set in 1995 and another in 2022, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage plays out across two tapes, with the second one launching on April 15. Fans of immersive dialogue and character-driven stories will want to keep Lost Records: Bloom & Rage on their radar.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (Tape 1) releases on February 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Avowed
Avowed is poised to be Obsidian Entertainment’s next great game if what the team has shown off is any indication. Set in the same world as Pillars of Eternity, Eora, Avowed takes players to the Living Lands, a mysterious land full of adventure and danger. Avowed is a first-person fantasy action RPG where players take on the role of an envoy of Aedyr and are sent off to investigate rumors of a spreading plague throughout the Living Lands. For those unfamiliar with Obsidian Entertainment, the studio is behind hits like Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Pillars of Eternity, The Outer Worlds, Grounded, and Pentiment.
Avowed releases on February 18 for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is on a roll, and it doesn’t appear that the team is slowing down anytime soon. The next entry in the Like a Dragon series is Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, starring Goro Majima in an over-the-top, modern-day pirate adventure. The former yakuza is now a pirate captain leading a crew on a hunt for lost memories and a legendary treasure. It’s the type of crazy antics RGG Studio is now known for, with the growth in popularity of the Yakuza series, which is now referred to as the Like a Dragon series. If you enjoyed last year’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, treat yourself to this year’s Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii releases on February 21 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
PGA Tour 2K25
While most sports games try to capitalize on the market by releasing a new entry each year, PGA Tour skipped last year, so golf fans are likely looking forward to PGA Tour 2K25. Featuring new EvoSwing mechanics, new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual improvements, PGA Tour 2K25 has everything a golf fan could want in a game. Major tournaments such as the U.S. Open Championship, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship all make their 2K franchise debut with this entry, along with the most immersive MyCAREER campaign yet.
PGA Tour 2K25 releases on February 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Monster Hunter Wilds
It’s our most anticipated game of the year, primarily because it offers one of the best co-op gaming experiences. We expect to spend hundreds of hours together playing Monster Hunter Wilds if our playtimes in Monster Hunter: World and Monster Hunter Rise are any indication. Besides, it’s been nearly four years since the release of Monster Hunter Rise, so many of us are experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms at this point. There are very few franchises that deliver co-op gameplay like Monster Hunter does, and each new entry in the series pushes it forward and makes it better. Monster Hunter Wilds continues to evolve the formula, and we can’t wait to pick up our favorite weapons and hunt down our favorite monsters.
Monster Hunter Wilds releases on February 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
