5 Biggest Game Releases In January 2024

The release of Baldur’s Gate 3, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and many more critically acclaimed titles all within a few months of each other has made 2023 the strongest year yet for gaming. Looking forward, 2024 promises just as much content from anticipated fighting games like Tekken 8 to brand-new narrative-driven titles. Here are the biggest game releases in January 2024.


Biggest Game Releases In January 2024

While there are dozens of promising game releases happening in January 2024, this list will mention only a few. If we missed your most anticipated one by chance, leave a comment telling us what they are.

5. Tekken 8

Tekken 8, one of the Biggest Game Releases In January 2024

Release Date: January 26, 2024
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

There’s finally a new Tekken game coming out. Fighting game fans have been milking Tekken 7 for the past 9 years but now in January, they’ll get to keep doing that but with upgraded graphics and an updated rogues gallery.

From Jin Kazama to Paul Phoenix, Tekken 8 is set to launch on January 26, 2024 with a roster of 32 characters. A highly-demanded sequel, and no doubt a strong contender for one of the best games of 2024.

4. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Release Date: January 18, 2024
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

After a decade-long dry spell of Prince of Persia games, Ubisoft is making good on its promise of revitalizing the franchise with The Lost Crown.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown serves as a standalone entry in which players will take control of a new protagonist Sargon, and must side-scroll their way across the empire to rescue the titular Prince. With better action, bigger set pieces, and an epic 2.5D layout, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is definitely shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases of January 2024.

3. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

Release Date: January 19, 2024
Platforms: PS5

While it isn’t even remotely close enough to compensation for the canceled The Last of Us Online game, The Last of Us Part 2 is getting a remastered version PS5 owners will surely love.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will feature new game modes and levels, director’s commentary, guitar free play, and lots more. Everything from better textures and visuals to improvements in gameplay, you name it. Maybe not what the fans wanted, but since Naughty Dog’s next title is likely still years away, this might cheer up some of those heartbroken over The Last of Us Online.

2. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Release Date: January 30, 2024 (Early Access)
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

Rocksteady’s also set to make a comeback in January 2024 with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

It’s been a pretty rough ride for Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game. It’s faced numerous delays, setbacks, and underwhelming reception from long-time Arkham fans. However, it’s now closer than ever and is perhaps the biggest game release in January 2024.

Taking place in the critically acclaimed Arkhamverse, Suicide Squad: KTJL follows the eponymous group trying to save Earth from Brainiac, but first, they’ll have to literally kill the Justice League which is under his mind control.

1. Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Release Date: January 26, 2024
Platforms: PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Another big game release happening in January 2024 is Yakuza 8. Better known by its rebranded name, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, is the continuation of Ichiban and Kiryu’s story. 

Picking up directly after the events of Yakuza 7 (Yakuza: Like a Dragon), players will embody Ichiban on another emotional journey made by what will likely be a heartfelt send-off to the iconic Dragon of Dojima. 

The JRPG system from the previous entry will also make a return in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but with more content as you’d expect.

For Yakuza series fans who’ve been in it since Yakuza 1 was released in 2005, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be the most sentimental newcomer in the franchise yet, and by the looks of things, it will leave many teary-eyed.
