The First Descendant
One of the interesting releases of the month, without a doubt. Developed by the South Korean studio Nexon, This ultra-brutal TPS has you playing as a Legatee, whose goal is to copiously machine-gun gigantic and very nasty monsters, with loot to back it up. The title can be played alone or with up to four people in online cooperation, while it relies on the Unreal Engine 5 for a frankly enticing visual. A future good surprise? We'll soon know.

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
Square Enix's famous MMO is determined to offer you something new: proof of this is Dawntrail, the next major expansion for the Japanese RPG. Here, Head to Tural, a brand new continent to explore west of Eorzea, apparently the birthplace of the legend of the Golden City. Massive exploration, new characters, new raids, dungeons, new jobs and the arrival of Hrothgar women promise a dense and polished experience. Also, Dawntrail marks the first step in the game's graphic overhaul. More than a DLC, a real facelift that will be useful for the game's entire future.

Zenless Zone Zero
If Zenless Zone Zero is so anticipated, it is because it is signed miHoYo, the Chinese studio behind the phenomenon Genshin Impact. Here, it is a question of diving body and soul into New Eridu, a futuristic metropolis, but also devastated by the Ethereal, formidable enemies who have traveled through strange portals. The game therefore takes the form of a very brutal action-RPG, where the player can recruit more and more members and make more and more varied combos. A title planned for all platforms (even mobile) and for free, since it is free-to-play.

Dungeons of Hinterberg
Right now, we could all use a little sweetness. Dungeons of Hinterberg might just answer that call with its truly charming art direction and rather original setting: we explore an alpine village in Austria, meet people, build relationships… but also, we explore dungeons, fight monsters and wander through lots of different areas. A really cool mix of genres for a colorful atmosphere that seduces: it is notably developed by Microbird Games, a small independent studio based in Vienna. In addition, it is also an Xbox exclusive!
