<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\nLast year was another one for the history books, but going into 2026, we’re excited to see how the next 365 days shape up. Of course, we’re counting down the days until GTA 6 launches in November, but until then, there’s still a lot to look forward to. Typically, January is one of the slower months on the calendar, with a lighter schedule of releases and few high-profile games choosing to launch in the wake of a busy Q4 from the previous year.<\/p>\n That doesn’t mean that there aren’t several interesting games to check out, and the focus on smaller titles can lead to unexpected hits. This month, some of the interesting games include a sequel to Code Vein, perceptive reality in Cassette Boy, and a look at a city-builder that takes you back to the time of kings, knights, and peasants desiring to run ananarcho-syndicalist commune. For a broader look at the rest of the year, you can check out GameSpot’s2026 upcoming games schedule. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
