January 2024’s most notable new games include Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and more.
2024 has just begun, and while we don’t expect it to be as packed with as many heavy hitters as 2023, plenty of exciting games are still on the horizon. The year’s starting strong too, with a January that sees several notable franchises return with brand-new entries, some for the first time in over a decade.
This month might end up being one of the busiest of the year for significant new game releases, so you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on everything coming out over the coming weeks, no matter what platform you primarily play on. These seven games should be on your radar to kick off the new year.Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (January 18)
Recommended if you like: Metroid Dread
Ubisoft left the Prince of Persia series dormant for quite a long time, but that changes in 2024. The first notable release of the year is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which brings the series back to its roots as a 2D platformer. It has gone full-on Metroidvania this time, though, placing an emphasis on frenetic movement and combat as well. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will likely be a must-play when it drops on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on January 18.Turnip Boy Robs a Bank (January 18)
Recommended if you like: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
The most notable indie game coming out this January is Turnip Boy Robs a Bank. That’s a ridiculous title, and it should live up to that name as a sequel to one of 2021’s funniest games: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. The titular turnip continues his descent into villainy in this sequel as he joins a gang and robs a bank in what plays out as a top-down roguelite shooter. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank launches on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on January 18.
