Top 75 Games Trends in April

From Wildlife Awareness Games to Humanitarian Game Bundles

— April 4, 2022 — Tech
From wildlife awareness games to humanitarian game bundles, the April 2022 game trends highlight some of the most anticipated game releases of the month. New games with unique designs and gameplay approaches are set to dominate the market.

Notably, Microsoft recently launched a 'Women in Gaming' mentorship program. The tech company has organized a series of one-on-one coaching sessions throughout its global market to celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month.

Another intriguing example comes from Patrick Collins, a former marketing professional at 'EXCEL ESPORTS.' Collins launched an esports consultancy firm dubbed 'Leapfox' that will help brands elevate their esports brand. Esports and gaming organizations can utilize Leapfox's services to increase public outreach, accrue new sponsorships, and receive guidance on how to orchestrate a brand direction.
