PlayStation 4 owners better prepare their wallets for an unbelievable onslaught, as February 2019 is packed to the brim with huge AAA games. Have a craving for a fighting game? February has your back. Feel like an atmospheric first-person shooter? "Metro Exodus" should scratch that itch. Yearning for a tough-as-nails driving simulator? Few compare to Codemasters' "Dirt Rally 2.0."
Here is a rundown of the five most exciting games coming out for the PlayStation 4 during February 2019!
'Anthem' will be available to purchase on the PlayStation 4 from February 22.
EA's answer to "Destiny," this multiplayer shooter comes saddled with high expectations and a muddied history stemming from the publisher's numerous recent PR blunders. Due to rampant server issues, "Anthem's" demo failed to adequately set the stage for the game's full debut. That's not to say BioWare's RPG shooter attracted a totally negative reception from users, as many praised the customization options and basic gameplay mechanics, but the demo raised more questions than answers.
'Far Cry: New Dawn' will be available to purchase on the PlayStation 4 from February 13.
A spin-off set in Montana and a sequel to "Far Cry 5," "Far Cry: New Dawn" takes place more than a decade after its predecessor. With a nuclear event leaving the world in ruins, Hope County has become a hub for survivors seeking to establish some form of community. Unfortunately, the rebuilding process is interrupted by a group of bandits led by two dangerous sisters.
'Jump Force' will be available to purchase on the PlayStation 4 from February 15.
Set to be released on every current console besides the Nintendo Switch, "Jump Force" aspires to be anime's answer to "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate." Admittedly, accomplishing such a feat is easier said than done, but Spike Chunsoft's fighting game boasts an impressive enough roster to compare favorably with any of its contemporaries.
'Metro Exodus' will be available to purchase on the PlayStation 4 from February 15.
Developed by 4A Games and set to be published by Deep Silver, "Metro Exodus" is the highly anticipated third entry in the atmospheric first-person shooter franchise. Assuming the sequel remains faithful to its predecessors, the campaign should blend survival horror, stealth, and action. In terms of scope, "Metro Exodus" boasts a far larger map than "Last Light" or "2033." Obviously, bigger does not always equal better.
'God Eater 3' will be available to purchase on the PlayStation 4 from February 8.
Did you happen to find "Monster Hunter: World's" combat to be somewhat slow? If that is the case, "God Eater 3" may suit your hack and slash needs! Unlike the previous entries, which were ports of PSP games, Marvelous Entertainment constructed 2019's sequel solely for the current generation's hardware. Equipped with transformable weapons, missions boil down to hunting monsters called Aragami to farm for parts.
