Hey, Daily Quest readers.
If you thought January was busy, brace yourselves. February 2026 is officially the "Super Bowl" of gaming. We are looking at a historic month for survival horror, soulslikes, and brawlers. Leading the pack is the 30th-anniversary crown jewel, Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), but the supporting lineup is just as lethal.
From the ruins of Raccoon City to the open fields of Heian-period Japan, here is every major drop you need to track.
The Headliner: Resident Evil Requiem (Feb 27)
Capcom is pulling out all the stops for the series' 30th anniversary. Set in the overgrown, atmospheric ruins of Raccoon City, Resident Evil Requiem features a dual-protagonist system that is already drawing massive hype.
The Leads: Leon S. Kennedy returns for high-octane action, while newcomer Grace Ashcroft (an FBI analyst with ties to the Outbreak series) brings back the classic, resource-starved "ink-ribbon" survival horror.
The Tech: For the first time, you can switch between 1st and 3rd-person perspectives, tailoring the horror to your preference.
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and a day-one launch for Nintendo Switch 2.
The Soulslike King: Nioh 3 (Feb 6)
Team Ninja kicks off the month with Nioh 3. This entry evolves the formula into "open fields," allowing you to explore massive regions like Edo and Kyoto.
The Combat: You control Tokugawa Takechiyo, switching between a classic Samurai Ki Pulse style and a high-mobility Ninja style.
The Demo: A time-limited demo drops January 29 on PS5 and Steam—and yes, your progress carries over to the full game!
Mid-Month Mayhem: Yakuza & Reanimal
Mid-February is a bloodbath for your free time. On February 12, RGG Studio drops a massive 2-for-1 bundle with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. This includes a ground-up remake of the third game plus an all-new origin story for Yoshitaka Mine.
Just 24 hours later, on Friday the 13th, the original creators of Little Nightmares unleash Reanimal. This co-op horror adventure is designed to be played with a friend (via a free Friend's Pass), featuring a shared directed camera that maximizes the claustrophobia.
