The January PC game releases and events you should know about

I usually start these monthly release date calendars with some commentary about what a fruitful month it’s going to be for PC gaming, but I gotta level with you: January’s a bit light as far as new releases go.

I recently got to play the first couple hours of the Dead Space remake, which is out toward the end of the month, and it seemed like a good, faithful update. Square Enix RPG Forspoken is another big publisher game coming in late January, and there’s a One Piece game on the way, but not a whole lot more that’s on my radar. We’re in a game release trough before the swell coming in February, which will include Atomic Heart, Company of Heroes 3, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and more.
