January 2022 Game Releases

The popular Xbox and PC co-op first-person shooter Deep Rock Galactic will make its way to PlayStation at the start of the new year. You can take the role of one of the four dwarven miners specializing in a unique ability while exploring a ghost ship and ridding it of ravenous aliens.

Monster Hunter Rise (PC)

Release Date: January 13, 2022

God of War (PC)

Release Date: January 14, 2022
Platform: PC
Playstation PC makes a push this January by porting one of its coveted PS4 exclusives. In anticipation of God of War Ragnarok dropping later this year, PC fans can catch up on the action before the appointed date arrives.

Rainbow Six Extraction

Release Date: January 20, 2022
Platform: PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC

Say what you will about Ubisoft’s rebranding of the Tom Clancy property, but this is an interesting re-imagining of the Rainbow Six franchise. Sure, it is still a tactical shooter, but it’s closer to Back4Blood than Rainbow Six when you’re not fighting other human operatives, but aliens that infect humans.

Windjammers 2

Release Date: January 20, 2022
Platform: Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series
A pong style “fighting game” featuring 10 different Windjammers duke it out for supremacy in this fun-looking sequel featuring new courts and crazy 16-bit action. The retro feel is really working out for it as it appears to be something we must’ve played between the 16-bit and 32-bit era and it’s looking kinda rad.

Ghostrunner Project_Hel (Expansion)

Release Date: January 27, 2022
Platform: Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series
A full blown Ghostrunner expansion releases this month following a free Holiday Cosmetic Skin Expansion from December. It was supposed to be a smaller DLC, but now this full expansion puts you in the shoes of Hel, one of the bosses from a previous game. More combat-oriented, they can survive an additional attack compared to Ghostrunner.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Release Date: January 28, 2022
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Pokemon’s answer to Monster Hunter finally comes underway with Pokemon Arceus, a re-envisioning of the series with a more open world aspect. Instead of hunting down these pokemon, we’re gonna catch them all and be the very best. You know the drill.
