The official release window is “soon” so once again my tirade against publishers using seasons and vague dates for releases continues without an end in sight.

In “this better not be an early April Fools joke” news, industry insider Jeff Grubb revealed on his Twitch show titled Jeff Grubb's Game Mess Show that an Alan Wake sequel is finally in development.

Sony has a trio of new games to hand from April 6, and provided that your PS Plus subscription is active, the bouncer to that club will be happy to let you in once he checks that your name is on the list. It’s actually an impressive month for the service, which has been stepping up recently to drop not just well-received games, but new ones as well.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch—a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army—each possess a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew.

Now folks that are easily scared or upset by the horror of this admittedly very scary horror game have a way to experience the story, which will be the main draw for many.

Doom 3 was scary in 2004, its legacy was cemented in a spiffy remaster a couple of years later, and chances are that it’ll be even more capable of ruining your pants when experienced via the extra FPS power of the PlayStation VR. Doom 3 VR hit shelves this week, and if you’re looking to score the game for the low price of nothing, then here’s your chance.

I specified “original” because no one needs to be reminded about that terrible remake that snuck its way out the door towards the end of last year.

April’s looking to be a solid month! The next 30 days on the calendar feature People Can Fly’s space-hobos with powers aka Outriders taking to the stage, and that tough act will be followed by several midcard games. Star Wars Republic Commando will be yelling vowels at you through its revamped main menu, Cozy Grove looks charming, and JRPG fans have plenty to look forward to when SaGa Frontier Remastered and Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack arrives.
