March was also a really great month for gamers, with titles such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2, Tropico 6, Dead or Alive 6 and much more releasing across platforms such as the PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Many anticipated titles will be releasing in April. The Nindies conference, which was the Nintendo Direct conference for Indie games showcased a lot of new and upcoming indie games coming up for the console, the legendary Cuphead being among these.

#5. Dangerous Driving

From the creators of the Burnout series, Dangerous Driving is a racing game that encourages you to drive fast, dangerous and on the edge. You get rewarded with speed and other bonuses if you go really really fast and crash your opponents down.
Game modes include traditional racing, timed trials, wrecking the most competitors, being the police car and more. There are 8 different game modes and if you love quality racing games, this could be a great pick up.
#4. Anno 1800
Release Date: April 16
Available on: PC
Anno 1800 is the 7th entry into the Anno series, a city builder and a real-time strategy game. Previous iterations from the Anno series included city builders from the 15th and 16th centuries as well as the far future in 2070 and 2205.
Anno 1800 will take you to the Industrial Revolution, where players need to prepare their city for war or design it as a tourist destination and more. If you're into RTS and city builders, the Anno series is one of the best series out there.
Anno 1800 will be an Epic Game Store and Uplay exclusive. You can also pre-purchase it and play it on Steam, but not after 16 April.
#3. World War Z
Release Date: April 16
Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One
World War Z was first a book, then a generic action flick starring Brad Pitt and now a four-person co-op third-person shooter. World War Z is not quite like the movie but it has a really interesting plot as well as really well-designed gameplay.

You can choose six unique classes to battle the smart and difficult AI Zombies which get harder to beat as you go on. The setting of the game takes place in Moscow, New York, Jerusalem and Tokyo. It's quite similar to Valve's Left 4 Dead series, but a lot harder.
#2. Days Gone
Release Date: April 26
Available on: PS4
Days Gone is another zombie apocalypse survival game, releasing 10 days after World War Z. It is a PS4 exclusive, much like Spiderman, Last of Us, God of War, etc.
However, the game is not quite like World War Z. World War Z emphasises on shooting and destruction. Days Gone has a more in-depth story that also relies on stealth, survival and mobility. It has a bigger open world as well and exploration will be a core mechanic too. You can also use the zombie hordes to your advantage and to help your gameplay strategy.
#1. Mortal Kombat 11
Release Date: April 23
Available on: PC, Switch, PS4, Xbox One
Mortal Kombat is getting its next entry with Mortal Kombat 11 after 4 years. The 25-character strong roster features a variety of characters, including returning characters such as Lu Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion and more. There are also some new characters such as Gera and Kronika who will be making their debut in MK11.

Characters will be customizable with different slots and even featuring socketed items to enhance power levels, a feature returning from Mortal Kombat X. Cinematic intros, victory screens, and fatalities have customizations too.
The classic X-Ray moves from MK9 and MKX have been reworked into what is called "Fatal Blows". Fatal Blows are moves which can only be used once per game (yes game, not round) when your character is 30% or below health. It can deal a huge amount of damage to your opponent. But if the player missed the Fatal Blow, it will have a long cooldown before they can attempt to do it again.
The gory, bloody action of Mortal Kombat will return on April 23. MK11 is also one of 2019's most anticipated games, not just April.
