Well, we made it to April. So far, this year has seen some fantastic releases in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Doom Eternal, to name a few. Not to mention the other highly anticipated games set to come out this year include Cyberpunk 2077, Halo Infinite, Marvel’s Avengers, and many more.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t all been good news. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, multiple video game conventions and events have been canceled, rescheduled, and a few are making them virtual.
