No jokes this week. GFN Thursday's skipping the tricks and heading straight into a massive month of games. April starts with ten new titles for the full month, and we've got 12 new games joining the GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform today.

The big news this week's Arknights: Endfield. It's a 3D real-time strategy RPG from Hypergryph that moves the series away from its 2D roots. You can jump into building and battling on the planet Talos-II right now. I'm curious to see how those metallic skylines look on a larger screen since the art style's a huge shift for the franchise.

If you're looking for nostalgia, the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection joins the library today. It includes seven games from the series. I remember these for the fast grid-based combat and the story of Geo Stelar and Omega-Xis. It's great to see Capcom bringing more of these collections to the cloud.

New Games on GeForce NOW This Week

The library grows with a mix of new releases and hits from other platforms. Here's everything joining the cloud gaming platform this week:

  • Hozy (New release on Steam, March 30)
  • Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together (New release on Steam, March 31)
  • Legacy of Kain: Ascendance (New release on Steam, March 31)
  • Subliminal (New release on Steam, March 31)
  • Super Meat Boy 3D (New release on Steam, March 31)
  • I Am Jesus Christ (New release on Steam, April 2)
  • ALL WILL FALL (New release on Steam, April 3, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
  • Arknights: Endfield (Official Site)
  • Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection (Steam)
  • Nova Roma (Steam and Xbox, on PC Game Pass)
  • RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Steam)
  • Way of the Hunter 2 (Steam, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)

Arknights: Endfield expands the series into a full 3D real-time strategy RPG.

I'm probably going to spend more time with Nova Roma on my phone. It's just way easier to check my settlements when I've got a few minutes away from my desk. I'm also happy to see more PC Game Pass titles like this joining the library. If you missed last week's updates, you can check out the Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.1 update details in our previous breakdown.

April Monthly Preview

Looking ahead, April's packed with big day-and-date launches. PRAGMATA and Samson are the two I'm watching most closely. We've also got ALL WILL FALL coming tomorrow with full 5080 support for the best visuals.

What are you planning to play this weekend? I know I'll spend time exploring the frontier in Arknights: Endfield. Let me know your picks in the comments below!
