On January 17, Tecmo Koei brings back their iconic musou series with Dynasty Warriors: Origins, the first major installment since 2018. Harnessing the power of current-gen hardware, this game promises to overwhelm your screen with countless enemies ready to meet your battlecry of "DIE, NASTY WARRIORS!" It's set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC.

If long-range combat is more your style, mark your calendar for January 30 when Sniper Elite: Resistance hits the shelves. This latest entry in the series continues its tradition of precision Nazi-targeting, with a special focus on, shall we say, anatomically precise takedowns. Available on all Xbox and PlayStation consoles, plus PC, it's a must-play for fans of the franchise.

Is it reality or fantasy? It's neither, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is indeed a bohemian rhapsody, continuing the saga of Henry of Skalitz in a deeply immersive simulation of 14th-century Bohemia.

Set for release on February 11 on current-gen consoles and PC.

Also launching on February 11, Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 needs no introduction after six successful entries over three decades.
