The upcoming year is set to be a remarkable one for video games. If everything unfolds as anticipated, we should see the release of a new Nintendo console, Grand Theft Auto VI, and several fresh installments in cherished franchises such as Borderlands, Doom, Fatal Fury, Mafia, Metroid Prime, Monster Hunter, and Assassin’s Creed. Although January lacks many major titles, it does instill a sense of optimism that 2025 will be a year rich with beloved franchises returning. We can expect remasters of iconic games like Freedom Wars and Donkey Kong Country Returns, alongside Dynasty Warriors: Origins, which aims to revamp the Musou formula.
Even though you’re likely still making progress on your gaming backlog from the holidays, the release of video games shows no signs of slowing. To assist you in identifying the titles you should be attentive to, I’ve compiled seven of the most enticing games set to launch during January 2025.
Freedom Wars Remastered (January 10)
Suggested if you enjoy: Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet
Freedom Wars is renowned for being one of the finest games ever released on the PlayStation Vita. It is a collaborative action game in which players battle monsters known as Abductors as part of their 1,000,000-year prison term. The game’s unique perspective on a post-apocalyptic society and inventive features such as the grappling hook-like “Thorn” and programmable cyborg “Accessories” that assist players struck a chord with many, but little has transpired with this intellectual property since the original launch on the PS Vita. Now, Dimps and Bandai Namco are attempting to rekindle excitement in the series with this remaster, which enhances textures, introduces 4K support, and revamps the weapon crafting and difficulty systems.
Freedom Wars Remastered will release on January 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.
Hyper Light Breaker (January 14)
Suggested if you enjoy: Solar Ash
The successor to Hyper Light Drifter, developed by Heart Machine and Arc Games, is significantly more ambitious. It is a 3D roguelike action game where players delve into a procedurally generated open world in search of bosses to battle. If players perish frequently, the entire world resets, forcing them to restart their journey in a completely different environment. With the procedural generation and co-op feature, it certainly stands as the most expansive game Heart Machine has created thus far. The game will commence early access this month, so monitoring Hyper Light Breaker’s progress throughout the year will be worthwhile.
Hyper Light Breaker will enter early access on PC on January 14.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (January 16)
Suggested if you enjoy: Nikoderiko: The Magical World
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be released exclusively for Nintendo Switch on January 16.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins (January 17)
Suggested if you enjoy: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
The Musou games from Koei Tecmo, most of which feature the term “Warriors” in their titles, are among the most exhilarating action games available. Previous iterations of Dynasty Warriors have focused on the exhilarating sensation of being a powerful hero as you cut through countless foes on a sprawling battlefield. Dynasty Warriors: Origins adheres to this formula yet expands by incorporating additional elements from character action games. Mastering dodging and parrying mechanics has never been more vital, especially in the demanding boss battles that conclude each level of the game. I strongly encourage trying out the demo of this game to determine if you appreciate the distinctive style of this long-standing Koei Tecmo franchise.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is set to release for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on January 17.
Eternal Strands (January 28)
Suggested if you enjoy: Dragon Age: Inquisition
A number of ex-Bioware developers have attempted to establish their own studios, yet not every endeavor has flourished. Fortunately, Mike Laidlaw, the former director of Dragon Age, succeeded with his Yellow Brick Games, launching its inaugural title this month. It’s Eternal Strands, an action-fantasy experience that highlights the player’s magical abilities and interactions with the surroundings. Gamers must combat and ultimately defeat extraordinary foes such as dragons or colossal golems through these gameplay mechanics. Eternal Strands seems poised to uphold Bioware’s heritage by delivering compelling fantasy enjoyment, making me eager to experience it later this month.
Eternal Strands will be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on January 28.
Sniper Elite Resistance (January 30)
Suggested if you enjoy: Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2
Rebellion has mastered the Sniper Elite series’ formula for quite a while, but it’s changing some elements for Sniper Elite Resistance. The spectacular X-ray kill cams and complex gunplay that the series is famous for remain, but Resistance features a Special Operation Executive operative named Harry Hawker instead of the usual protagonist, Karl Fairburne. Set in France, Hawker teams up with the French Resistance to combat the Nazis. The game also incorporates notable multiplayer aspects, allowing players to collaborate on missions, invade other gamers’ realms as Axis soldiers, or engage in 16-player PvP skirmishes.
Sniper Elite Resistance will be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on January 30. It will also be available in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate catalog from the start.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (January 31)
Suggested if you enjoy: Disco Elysium
The first Citizen Sleeper was an unexpected indie success in 2022. Players were taken aback by how it combined the choice-centric essence of tabletop RPGs with a dystopian sci-fi setting. Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector again places players in the role of a Sleeper possessing an artificial body but a human mind. In Starward Vector, players find themselves on the run, requiring significant effort to maintain a ship, locating crew members to assist in its operation, and fulfilling contracts. Naturally, dialogue selections and dice outcomes will influence the story, ensuring freshness even for those who have extensively played the original.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is scheduled to launch for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on January 31.
