"Last year was another one for the history books, but going into 2026, we're excited to see how the next 365 days shape up. Of course, we're counting down the days until GTA 6 launches in November, but until then, there's still a lot to look forward to. Typically, January is one of the slower months on the calendar, with a lighter schedule of releases and few high-profile games choosing to launch in the wake of a busy Q4 from the previous year."
"That doesn't mean that there aren't several interesting games to check out, and the focus on smaller titles can lead to unexpected hits. This month, some of the interesting games include a sequel to Code Vein, perceptive reality in Cassette Boy, and a look at a city-builder that takes you back to the time of kings, knights, and peasants desiring to run an anarcho-syndicalist commune."
"Finally, a spiritual successor to Dino Crisis is out this month. Developed by TeamKill Media, Code Violet is a third-person action-horror game in the same vein as Capcom's cult-classic series, in which you carefully manage your inventory and fight to survive against overwhelming odds in the 25th century. For now, it's exclusive to PS5 because the developers don't want to see PC modders turn it into a gooner game."
January 2026 features a lighter release schedule after a busy fourth quarter, but several smaller and mid-size games are launching. Anticipation builds for Grand Theft Auto VI's November 2026 release, while January highlights include a sequel to Code Vein, perceptive reality in Cassette Boy, and a city-builder set around an anarcho-syndicalist commune. Code Violet, a third-person action-horror spiritual successor to Dino Crisis, launches January 10 as a PS5 exclusive and emphasizes inventory management and survival against overwhelming odds in the 25th century. Arknights: Endfield launches January 22 across PC, PS5, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play tower-defense action-RPG. Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven is also scheduled for January 22.
