January 2019: All Games Releasing This Month (UPDATED)
It’s 2019 people! We’re barely toe-deep into the new year and there’s already a neat array of new games waiting for us on the other side. The 2018 holiday season surely stole a majority of gamers’ hearts (as well as wallets), but January 2019 looks to keep those pockets empty with big releases in the like of Kingdom Hearts III, Capcom’s reimagining of Resident Evil 2, and the return of The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
The anticipated hits keep on coming with the quirky follow-up Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, the sky-high delights of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, and the battle royale debut of Planetside Arena. January 2019 being a time of new beginnings fittingly sees the modern re-releases of classics such as the elegant murderfest Hitman HD Enhanced Collection, the anime-inspired RPG Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, and a lovely port of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey on Nintendo 3DS.
There’s a great many others that are seeing their debut later on in the month, all of which can viewed in the list of January game releases below. Let us know in the comments which DLC you’re looking forward to most among releases such as the awaited next episode of Life is Strange 2, the arrival of Count Dooku to Star Wars: Battlefront II, or the snowy locale of Vikendi to PUBG.
