February 2025 is Suddenly Stacked With Big New Game Releases

Key Takeaways

  • February 2025 has a slew of major game releases with titles like Civilization 7 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
  • Big industry players like Ubisoft and Sega are contributing to the stacked February 2025 release schedule.
  • The month wraps up with highly-anticipated titles like Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Monster Hunter Wilds on February 28.

As a seasoned gamer with decades under my belt, I must say that February 2025 is shaping up to be a dream come true for us gamers! It’s not often we get such a stacked lineup of releases, especially in traditionally quieter months like February.


The latest news is making February 2025 a highly anticipated timeframe for new video game launches. Typically, February hasn’t been known as a bustling month for the gaming industry. However, that trend has shifted in recent years, as an increasing number of publishers are choosing to release their games outside of the holiday shopping season and into February instead.

In 2022, we witnessed a surge when “Elden Ring” and “Horizon Forbidden West” debuted, and in 2023, it was the turn of the highly anticipated open-world action-RPG based on “Harry Potter,” known as “Hogwarts Legacy.” It appears that 2024 is following suit by being one of the most active Februaries in gaming history so far.

Ubisoft has postponed the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows from November 15, 2025 to February 14, 2025. In contrast, Sega is set to launch Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the next installment in the Like a Dragon series, on February 28. With these releases joining other games scheduled for February 2025, it’s clear that the gaming industry has a big month ahead!

Major New Games Releasing in February 2025

  • Civilization 7 (PC/PS4/PS5/Switch/Xbox One/Xbox Series X) – February 11
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PC/PS5/Xbox Series X) – February 11
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows (PC/PS5/Xbox Series X) – February 14
  • Avowed (PC/Xbox Series X) – February 18
  • Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PC/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X) – February 28
  • Monster Hunter Wilds (PC/PS5/Xbox Series X) – February 28

The action kicks off on February 11, as two significant game launches coincide. On this day, gaming enthusiasts will eagerly await not one, but two highly-anticipated titles: the strategy game “Civilization 7” and the medieval action-RPG “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”. Fast forward three days, and “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” makes its grand entrance. Four days later, on March 4, “Avowed”, an exclusive for Xbox consoles developed by Obsidian Entertainment, will be unveiled. This promising game is expected to be one of the most exciting releases in 2025.

2025’s upcoming game releases in February will conclude with “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” and “Monster Hunter Wilds”, both scheduled for release on the last day of the month, February 28th. “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” may not match up to the grandeur of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth”, but it’s rumored to surpass “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name”. “Monster Hunter Wilds”, on the other hand, could be the star of February, providing the anticipated sequel to “Monster Hunter World” and bringing the beloved multiplayer franchise into modern systems with a significant impact.

It’s quite likely that a few of these games might get postponed, but if only one or two do, February 2025 is still packed with exciting releases. Moreover, other games could potentially announce their release dates for February 2025, making the month even more bustling as we approach it.
