This episode of New Releases is one of the most action-packed we've had this year. Ori & the Will of the Wisps continues the cinematic flair of the first game, and Nioh 2 pits you against all manner of monsters from Japanese folklore. Fighting game fans can throw down with both My Hero One's Justice 2 and Granblue Fantasy Versus, while the more strategic crowd can plot their victory in Langrisser 1 and 2. There's lots on the way this week, especially out of Japan.

Now Playing: Top New Games Out On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Week -- March 8-14, 2020
While it sports the same gorgeous look as Ori and the Blind Forest, this sequel is changing things up--and not just by taking the adventure beyond the forest itself. The first game had manual checkpoints, but this one features auto-saves. Where the first game offered linear upgrades, the sequel instead lets you purchase powers using collectible shards. And yes, Ori will be available on Game Pass on launch day.

Langrisser I & IIThe first two Langrisser games are 30 years old, so the revamped graphics in this remaster are worlds apart from the original. That said, it's still the same strategy game it always was, letting you level up commanders and choose their classes. A demo is available on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch if you want to sample the remaster beforehand.
Nioh 2This is actually a prequel to Nioh, so instead of playing as samurai William Adams, you'll create your own custom character. You'll still have to change stances and manage your stamina as you take on big bosses, but fortunately, you can do so with friends in three-player co-op. What's more is that you can actually transform into a yokai yourself if you collect a monster's Soul Core.
