January is typically a slow time for new game releases, but if you game on PC, there are quite a few titles you’ve got to look forward to next month. Most notable on my list are Monster Hunter Rise and God of War.
After making its debut on Nintendo Switch earlier this year, Monster Hunter Rise finds its way to PC on January 12. If you enjoyed Monster Hunter World, then you’ll probably want to check this game out because it’s basically the same experience with some new features and mechanics, including the new Palamute animal companion and the addition of the Wirebug which adds to world traversal and combat. In our review of the game for Switch, we call it an absolute must-play for fans of the Monster Hunter series or anyone looking for some fun action-adventure.
Monster Hunter Rise’s upcoming expansion, Sunbreak, is also slated to arrive this summer on PC. News regarding this highly anticipated expansion is expected in early 2022.
Another game to have on your radar in January is God of War. Yes, the critically acclaimed PlayStation exclusive is coming to PC, which means you’ll be able to Sony Santa Monica’s glorious action-adventure. God of War already looked incredible on PlayStation, so I imagine it will look even better on PC where it won’t be constrained by console limitations. With the sequel, God of War Ragnarök, slated to launch on PS5 later in 2022, this is a great time to jump in to Kratos’ story.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction, Ubisoft’s upcoming tactical co-op shooter, makes its debut in January as well. A spinoff of Rainbow Six Siege, Extraction tasks up to three players to work together to defeat parasitic aliens across a series of challenging missions.
