The penultimate week of March 2024 has it all! There are some really big releases on Steam, including an impressive open-world blockbuster
Spring is here, the first lederhosen are already staggering dangerously close to the banks of the Isar here in Munich and spring business 2024 is now also in full swing in the (much less life-threatening) world of video games.
Some really big blockbusters are being released on Steam this week, but there are also at least two insider tips under the radar that we want to share with you. So without further ado, let’s get started.

Highlight of the week: Dragon’s Dogma 2
- Genre: Role-playing game
- Developer: Capcom
- Release: March 22, 2024
Most of the role-playing game fans here at the editorial office have the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 marked on their calendars, because Capcom’s role-playing epic could really be big. It inherits all the strengths of its now twelve-year-old predecessor: a deadly open world in which your fantasy avatar can bite the dust around every corner – all Gothic senses are on fire.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 relies on a very rough combat system that doesn’t take you by the hand, but rewards daring and the right strategy. It has one of those open worlds where you actually want to follow the main story, but then lose yourself for eight hours in side quests because there’s something to see around the next corner that takes up your attention.
Our first impressions of Dragon’s Dogma 2 are pretty positive. If you’ve got the patience to take a full pounding in a role-playing game and have to find the solution to a problem completely on your own, then you can expect a very unique experience here.
