Happy Monday, everyone! It’s the start of another new week, which means we have even more new releases to look forward to. Whether you want to investigate a Lovecraftian threat in Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened or enter the world of Tron: Identity, there’s something new for you. So, let’s not waste anymore time as we dive into this week’s upcoming games.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (Apr. 11)

Starting things off this week, we have Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Developed and published by Frogwares, this remake sees the world’s most iconic detective face his most dangerous threat: Cthulhu. Featuring rebuilt gameplay on Unreal Engine, the game will expand the storyline by adding numerous new side quests and mechanics.

Following a series of mysterious disappearances in Europe and the U.S., a young Holmes and Watson investigate the dreaded rumors of a cult who worships eldrtich god Cthulhu. As you dive deeper into the dark mystery, you’ll have to solve a series of puzzles using your best detective work, while trying not to lose your mind. You can enter the dark world of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened when it comes to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC tomorrow.

Tron: Identity (Apr. 11)

Entering your home next is Tron: Identity. Developed by Mike Bithell Games and published by Disney, this visual novel places you into the world of Tron as you search for your identity within the digital universe. Placing you into a brand new Grid, The Repository, this server labels itself as a society with no interference from Users.

Throughout the game, you’ll have to solve various puzzles that incorporate the famed Identity Discs. Each disc is an extension of one’s mind and operates like a computer, making them integral to finding the answers you search for. You can enter the Grid tomorrow when Tron: Identity comes to Nintendo Switch and PC.

Ghostwire: Tokyo (Apr. 12)

Then, developer Tango Gameworks and publisher Bethesda Softworks bring the action of Ghostwire: Tokyo to Xbox. The game places you into a world where Tokyo’s population vanished, and deadly supernatural forces prowl the streets. Throughout the story, you’ll need to utilize elemental powers and ghost-hunting skills to combat this paranormal threat.

In addition, you’ll discover a hauntingly beautiful version of Tokyo featuring its modern cityscape to its iconic traditional landmarks, albeit with a ghostly twist. Can you save your family and the rest of Tokyo from the supernatural threat of the underworld? While PS5 and PC players already got their hands on it last year, Xbox Series X/S players can jump into the haunting world of Tokyo: Ghostwire on Wednesday.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy (Apr. 14)

Closing out this week is Mega Man Battle Network Legacy. In this mega collection, Capcom lets you revisit the Battle Network from the Gameboy Advance era on modern platforms. Featuring all 10 mainline games from the series, this collection also offers multiple quality-of-life features.

One cool feature sits in the menus, where a 3D rendered model of Mega Man EXE guides you through. In addition, longtime fans will also appreciate the music player and art gallery, where you can enjoy the iconic sights and sounds from the series. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy blasts onto PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC this Friday.
