Happy 2026! Well, its the end of January and the new releases are starting up again, now that the holidays are well behind us. Additionally, we have a few to add in that we never got to in December.
The big new release from this past week, however, would probably have to be the indie title, Cairn. A cel-shaded climbing sim/adventure game, Cairn looks to be one of the first great indie games of the year. And since we got it in January, 2026 looks to be shaping up pretty nicely so far.
Also out in the last 8 weeks: the latest installment to Falcom's long-running Legend of Heroes series; a PS5 (and 4) playable version of Namco's incredible PlayStation 2 classic, SoulCalibur III; and a small bundle of Final Fantasy GOG ports. Embark on the ascent of a lifetime, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 56 days.
