February 2022 Already Has Too Many Games

Pour one out for the avid gamers in your life, because come next winter, you’ll never hear from them again. Following today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, hosted by Geoff Keighley’s heart red blazer and jet black sneakers, it’s clear that February 2022 is gonna suuuck (but also be awesome).

You guys, there are so many games. So, so many games.

First, Guerrilla Games shared an update for Horizon Forbidden West. Confirming earlier reporting by Bloomberg, the open-world game about hunting robot dinosaurs with bows and arrows won’t come out in 2021, as some anticipated. Rather, it’ll release on February 18, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Then there’s Sifu, the visceral-looking martial arts action game made by the makers of Absolver. That will come out on February 22, 2022, at which point I take the rest of the month off to do nothing but play.

Seriously, this game looks phenomenal:

Also on February 22: Destiny 2’s next major expansion, The Witch Queen, which was initially planned for release this year before Bungie delayed it. That’s quickly followed by the long-rumored and much-anticipated Saints Row reboot, which comes out on February 25, as announced during today’s showcase. Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead game is planned for February 2022 too, but doesn’t have a pinned-down release date yet.
