February 2021 Game Releases

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch) -- February 12

An updated version of the cult-favorite Wii U-exclusive Super Mario 3D World is coming to Nintendo Switch. Alongside the base game is a brand-new self-contained adventure called Bowser's Fury, in which Mario must team up with Bowser Jr. and explore a Super Mario Odyssey-sized world, collecting new items called Cat Shines. This means even if you've played and completed 100% of the content in the Wii U version, you still have a reason to check it out. Plus, you can take this version wherever you go!

Persona 5 Strikers (PS4, Switch, PC) -- February 23

Persona 5 Strikers is an action hack 'n slash spin-off of the massively popular Persona 5. It's set six months after the events of the original, seeing the Phantom Thieves investigate a series of mysterious events plaguing people all across Japan. If the action in the trailer above seems more over-the-top than what you've come to expect from traditional Persona RPGs, that's because Persona 5 Strikers is made by Omega Force, the studio behind the Dynasty Warriors franchise, and more recently, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Even if you have no interest in Persona, that might make it worth checking out.

Little Nightmares 2 (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) -- February 11

In Little Nightmares II, you'll once again journey through an oppressive, creepy world, but this time you're playing as a new character named Mono, who is actually joined by Six, the protagonist of the first game. Like the original, there's plenty of nerve-wracking moments and set pieces, which you can read more about in our in-depth previews in the links below.
