Axiom Verge - (PS4) - March 31 - the latest in a long line of Metroidvania titles, Axiom Verge comes highly, highly recommended by our editor.

The game originally was on its way to Kickstarter glory, but Sony liked it so much that it snatched it up almost immediately. A PC and PS Vita port is due out sometime this year as well. Also, don't worry about buying it this week then immediately finding out it goes on sale; the developer has promised that any sale will be announced months in advance.
Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Ascendance DLC (Xbox One, Xbox 360) - March 31 - the second DLC for the futuristic FPS comes with four new maps, which includes a new exo-zombie map.

Currently only for Xbox players, with PlayStation and PC gamers gaining access to it later in April.
