The best games coming in April 2020 - from Resident Evil 3 to Final Fantasy VII Remake

April 2020 looks set to be a cracking month for new game releases, with everything from blockbuster remakes to narrative-driven indie titles to keep everyone occupied.

Here are the eight best looking titles scheduled to be released this month.

Resident Evil 3

PS4, PC, Xbox One

What is it? Last year's Resident Evil 2 remake was one of the finest games of 2019, taking the groundwork established by Capcom's 1998 classic and updated it both in the gameplay and graphical departments to meet the expectations of modern day gamers.

The game proved such a success, Capcom are taking a similar tack with 1999's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, updating the game with new graphics and an overhauled presentation to bring it in line with today's standards.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

PS4

What is it? In April, PlayStation 4 fans will finally be able to get their hands on Final Fantasy VII Remake, a remake of the 1997 game that's considered the very best in the long-running Final Fantasy franchise.

Final Fantasy VII is often considered one of the best RPGs of all time, and its remake is one of the longest-awaited games in recent memory.

Much like Resident Evil 3, the game is a full remake with full 3D graphics, as opposed to the pre-rendered environments the technology of the mid-90s afforded the original.
