April has quite a few highly anticipated games that will be released during the month. Although March looked a little healthier for game releases, it looks like April could hold some great games as well. Last month, we saw the release of Ori and the Blind Forest, DmC, and Battlefield Hardline. So, let’s see what great game releases we’ll see in April for the Xbox One.
So without further ado, here are the three best upcoming Xbox One games for April 2015:
1. Mortal Kombat X
Developers: NetherRealm Studios
Publishers: Warner Bros.
Release Date: April 14, 2015
As an avid fighting games fan, I’m more than excited for Mortal Kombat X. We’ve seen a lot of cool things from NetherRealm regarding Mortal Kombat X, including Brutalities and Quitalities. We’ll see the return of some key Mortal Kombat kombatants, like Raiden, Reptile and Princess Kitana, and the game will also have a couple of horror icons, Jason and Predator. Count me in!

2. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin Edition
Developers: From Software
Publishers: Bandai Namco
Release Date: April 7, 2015
It takes a certain sort of gamer to love Dark Souls II, and apparently there are a lot of those sorts out there — the hardcore gamer. From Software makes games that punish players and place importance on actually dying in the game, and now Dark Souls II is making its way to the Xbox One and PS4 with the Scholar of the First Sin Edition, which will include all three of the game’s DLC. It will also have enhanced graphics and brand new content, including an expanded story.

3. State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition
Developer: Undead Labs
Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Release Date: April 28, 2015
If you missed State of Decay’s original release on Xbox 360, you missed out on a unique take on the zombie genre. While it wasn’t an MMO or multiplayer experience, we still enjoyed everything that the world of State of Decay had to offer, even with its occasional framerate issues. Still, Undead Labs have performed a redux on State of Decay to bring the game to the Xbox One in the State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition. And, if you already own State of Decay for Xbox 360, you will get a 33% discount on the new version. Sweet!
