It is a brand-new year, which means we have a brand-new line-up of games coming our way in the months ahead. January might start off slowly when it comes to game releases, but we have to practice patience while we wait for the big hitters to arrive.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything good to play. January 2025 includes the likes of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and my most anticipated game, Hello Kitty Island Adventure. No joke here. This is an excellent cosy game only available on Apple Arcade, and the Switch launch is going to finally give players the opportunity to enjoy the game.
Here are all the games headed your way in January.
