January started out a bit slow but that’s only because the upcoming lineup of February 2022 game releases has arguably one of the best monthly lineups in recent memory, with hit after hit filling out the shortest month of the year.
From Sony’s Horizon Forbidden West to Techland’s Dying Light 2, many of the February 2022 Game Releases are finally coming out after being delayed. Furthermore, the much-anticipated juggernaut that is Elden Ring will soon hit the gaming public, capping off an explosive month.
Indies also get their time in the sun for the February 2022 game releases, with Sloclap’s much anticipated Sifu along with Monark.
Let’s take a look at the stacked lineup of February 2022 Game Releases!
February 2022 Game Releases
Life is Strange: Remastered Collection
Release Date: February 1, 2022 (Switch version delayed) Platform: PC, Xbox Series, PS5, PS4, Xbox One
This series really had a great run since its launch back in 2015. This remastered collection finally launches on current-gen consoles and I’m looking forward to choosing every possible way to make Nathan Prescott’s life a living hell. Or not.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human
Release Date: February 4, 2022 Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch
Starting this month strong is Dying Light 2, which is looking to serve up some intense first-person zombie parkour action. Techland has been working at this for years now, and if the early previews are a sign, then it seems that the wait will be truly worth it.
OlliOlli World
Release Date: February 8, 2022 Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
OlliOlli World takes you on a trip to the land of Radlandia, a hallowed ground created by the skate gods for their pilgrims to achieve Gnarvana. Compete in leaderboards for a chance to win epic gear and make your way to the top of this radical skating adventure.
Sifu
Release Date: February 8, 2022 Platform: PC, PS5, PS4
Sifu is a revenge tale where a man dedicates his life to mastering his kung-fu to mete out justice against his family’s killers. There won’t be any difficulty selections, so every action and failure will age this kung-fu master. Watch out for this release as it is looking to be a sleeper hit for 2022.
Edge of Eternity
Release Date: February 10, 2022; February 23, 2022 (Nintendo Switch) Platform: PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch
From the indie developers Midgar Studio and published by Dear Villagers, this JRPG is definitely made with a lot of love. Music by the legendary Yasunori Mitsuda of Chrono Trigger and Xenogears fame adds the icing on the cake. Bonus for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, it’ll be out on Day 1!
Crossfire X
Release Date: February 10, 2022 Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series
This first-person shooter exclusive on the Xbox from Smilegate and Remedy entertainment finally gets its chance to shine in the spotlight this month. With an explosive campaign and multiplayer offering, it’s another shooter out in the market that you can try that’s not named Destiny.
King of Fighters XV
Release Date: February 17, 2022 Platform: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC
King of Fighters has become the flagship fighting title for SNK and with its 15th iteration, this fighting game lets its brand speak for itself. Hopefully, it follows the route of Guilty Gear Strive where there they keep the formula fresh while maintaining what makes it great. We’ll soon find out!
February 2022 Game Releases Pick of the Month 1: Horizon Forbidden West
Release Date: February 18, 2022 Platform: PS5, PS4
It’s finally happening, the open-world experience we’ve been waiting for will finally make its way home. We only really wished it came out on a less stacked month to take our sweet time on it, but it’s a good problem to have! Are you ready to take Aloy on a journey to the Forbidden West?
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen
Release Date: February 22, 2022 Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5
Destiny 2 goes strong with its latest expansion pack, The Witch Queen. The once-fabled antagonist will now face off against the strongest guardians out there, bringing with it a ton of new content that will keep players on their toes and begging for more.
Monark
Release Date: February 22, 2022 Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5
From the creators of the Persona series, Monark is a new indie title localized through NIS in the West. It’s really interesting to see how Japanese creators who’ve come from bigger studios create creative ways to actualize their new titles using a more independent route.
February 2022 Game Releases Pick of the Month 2: Elden Ring
Release Date: February 25, 2022 Platform: PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC
