Games Releasing in January 2026

Happy New Year, Everybody!

2025 is now a distant memory, and 2026 is here for all of us gamers to feast on. 2026 is going to be one for the history books in gaming. We have upcoming releases this year, including Grand Theft Auto VI, 007 First Light, and Resident Evil: Requiem, among others. And of course, the long-awaited release of Professor Layton and the New World of Steam (I am more excited for Layton than any other game this year… and I am probably alone with this one).
