New year, new games.
January is historically light on the total number of new game launches as the world recovers from a stressful (and hopefully lovely) holiday gift giving season.
But the small number of releases does not mean there is nothing to be excited about.
This month we’ll see the highly anticipated launch of Pokémon Legends: Arceus on the Nintendo Switch in addition to the latest Tom Clancy title Rainbow Six Extraction.
PC players are in for a treat with ports for God of War and Monster Hunter Rise.
Ahead of next month’s Uncharted movie release featuring Tom Holland, PS5 players are going to have the chance to snag the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
