Top New Games Out This Month On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC - February

This week, New Releases takes a month-wide look at some of the biggest games launching in February. Leading the charge is a totally rebuilt Shadow of the Colossus on PS4, followed closely by the hack-and-slash action of Dynasty Warriors 9. Meanwhile, Bayonetta 1 and 2 are debuting on Nintendo Switch, while Metal Gear Survive looks to take the series in a very different direction.
