The Biggest New Game Releases Of January 2026

The Biggest New Game Releases Of January 2026 https://ift.tt/ZWdTD2I 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 .

In an interview for the Dune sequel, Skarsgaard explained how even then, he preferred wearing prosthetics to help him with his performance as opposed to other actors who wore motion-capture suits and had tracking dots on their faces for post-production special effects work.

"I was the only one on set with real prosthetics on," Skarsgaard said to Business Insider. "Everyone else on that ship showed up five minutes before we started shooting and had dots put on their face, and away they went. I had been there for six hours. But the thing is, I like it. I like to see the artists paint, if that makes sense."
