2025 is really moving fast, huh? January just flew by, and here we are, setting up for February already! If you’re a gamer, this means one thing: new releases to sink your teeth into. February Games 2025 is an amazing month for gaming, bringing us RPGs, strategy classics, and monster-hunting madness. This month has something exciting for you no matter what kind of games you’re into—medieval realism, strategy, fantasy RPGs, or just some over-the-top pirate brawling. Let’s dive into the biggest releases of the month!
5 Biggest Games Releasing In February, 2025
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – February 4

The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance was an underrated gem, a historical RPG that ditched dragons and magic for realism and hardcore medieval simulation. Unlike the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II doesn’t start with Henry as an inexperienced and untrained commoner, here, he’s more capable from the get-go. The game also introduces crossbows and early firearms, with the added ability to fire crossbows while riding. On the RPG side, dialogue options have been expanded, adding Appearance, Coercion, and Dominate to the original Oratory, Charisma, and Intimidation skills, making conversations and interactions even deeper.
Developer WarHorse Studios promises a massive upgrade this time around—better visuals, a larger map, and improved gameplay mechanics. Expect brutal sword fights, deep storytelling, and an even more immersive medieval experience.
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Civilization 7 – February 11

Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 is the latest entry in the legendary turn-based strategy series, and it’s bringing some intriguing new twists. This time around, players can choose leaders and civilizations separately, with civilizations favoring leaders with specific attributes. The leader pool has also expanded to include philosophers, religious figures, and scientists, not just heads of state.
The historical era system has been simplified into three main stages: antiquity, exploration, and modern. At the end of each era, players will have to transition their civilization into a new one, and crisis events will shake things up between major era shifts. The devs have said this might be the most accessible Civ game in a while, which could be great news for newcomers (though hardcore Civ veterans might frown on that). One major shake-up is the ability to swap different leaders within a single civilization or even use them across different eras.

Avowed – February 18

Still waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI? Yeah, same. But until then, Obsidian’s Avowed might just scratch that itch. A first-person RPG set in the Living Lands, a part of the world of Eora. The Living Lands within the game include a variety of locations, ranging from lush forests to arid rocky deserts to large caves and valleys. Players assume control of an envoy from the Aedyr Empire, who is assigned to the Living Lands to investigate a mysterious plague known as the “Dream Scourge”.
You’ve got magic, melee combat, and a world full of deep lore, but here’s the twist—it’s not exactly an open-world game. Instead, it’s described as an “open-zone” game, meaning large, interconnected areas rather than one seamless map. Whether that’s a good or bad thing remains to be seen, but knowing Obsidian, we can expect great world-building, amazing NPCs, and choices that actually matter. This one’s a must-play if you’re into medieval fantasy RPGs.
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PC
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii – February 21

Yes, that name is real. And yes, it’s as gloriously ridiculous as it sounds. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spin-off of the Yakuza series, bringing back the classic beat-‘em-up combat while adding a pirate theme. Goro Majima is the star here, and he comes equipped with two fighting styles: Mad Dog, his signature fast-paced style, and Sea Dog, which lets him wield dual cutlasses and pistols.
If that wasn’t wild enough, the game also includes mid-air combos, karaoke, Dragon Kart racing, and a bizarre new side activity called Masaru’s Love Journey, where you recruit “Minato girls” for a character named Masaru Fujita. It’s the Yakuza series at its absolute silliest, and that’s exactly why we love it.
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC
Monster Hunter Wilds – February 28

One of the biggest releases of the year, Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t need much introduction cause the franchise has basically become its own genre at this point, and Wilds looks like it’s taking everything we love and making it even bigger. We’re talking breathtaking open-world biomes, a world that dynamically changes with weather conditions, and even cross-play for the first time in the series! Your hunter village will serve as a hub where you can cook, craft, and chill before heading back into the wild to slay giant beasts.
There’s a two-part open beta happening from February 6-9 and February 13-16, and any progress you make will carry over to the full game. This is the Next-Gen Monster Hunter game we’ve all been waiting for.
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
There are plenty of games launching this February, but we think that these are the ones that should be on your radar. Swing a sword in medieval Europe, build an empire, cast spells in a fantasy land, brawl as a pirate Yakuza, or hunt massive monsters, February Games 2025 has something for you. So, which one are you playing first?
