All April 2016 Video Game Releases

March has been and gone and so we roll into another new month filled with games to pass the days by. April looks set to bring some more big titles that fans are sure to be counting down the days to. So without further ado, let’s check out every game coming out this month.

Week One (April 1- April 9)

April starts off with a couple of titles sure to have fans of all platforms intrigued. The Assassin’s Creed Trilogy Pack makes its way to Vita, while Dirt Rally has both Xbox One and PS4 racing fans testing their driving skills against the clock in Codemasters’ latest simulation game.
However, most of the attention for April’s first week will be focused squarely on the long-awaited, Quantum Break. The action-adventure third-person shooter from Remedy Entertainment will put players in the role of Jack Joyce who, in the face of companies and institutions designed to simply survive, you choose to fight. You can check out what we thought of Quantum Break in our review, here.
