FF VII: Crisis Core Release Date Pegged

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates will follow on March 11. Originally released for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2004, the Crystal Chronicles series will be making its debut on the DS this time around with both single-player and multi-player gaming experiences.

Perhaps the most anticipated of the upcoming releases, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, will be hitting North American shores on March 25. The game will revisit the original story of the 1997 PlayStation release in a reworked game that has been developed for the Sony PSP.

Finally, Square Enix announced that the Japanese action RPG Subarashiki Kono Sekai would be making its North American debut as The World Ends with You. Although no firm release date was announced, it is expected to be released some time in spring 2008.

All Call of Duty games in order, by release date and chronologically

e3 2021 missing games call of duty

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. The original Call of Duty set a new standard for first-person shooters, the series' online multiplayer work has been a must-play for gamers for nearly two decades, and Warzone has been one of the top battle royale experiences of late.

The series has covered a lot of warfare, from World War II to futuristic fictional wars in 2187, but never in any set order. Players have been bounced around from era to era with each annual COD release and even revisited the same conflicts multiple times from different perspectives through direct sequels and remakes.
