All Video Game Releases for January 2019
(Weeks 1 & 2: Jan. 1-14)
With the new year beginning, it’s time to look forward to what’s ahead of us. Between now and the end of April, the video game release schedule is already looking pretty hectic, and it all starts in January.
While the first month of 2019 is looking pretty busy, the more high profile titles are coming in the second half of it.
There are a few indie games to look out for, including 13 AM Games’, the developers of Runbow, Double Cross, but the standout is probably New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
The 2D Mario adventure initially released on Wii U, but since no-one bought a Wii U, no-one played the game. Now that it’s coming to Switch, more Nintendo fans are going to be able to experience it.
Here are all the video game release dates of the first half of January 2019.

All Video Game Releases for January 2019
(Weeks 3 & 4: Jan. 15-31)
The second half of January 2019 is when the big hitters arrive. Starting on Jan. 15, The Final Season of the Walking Dead continues, following the collapse of Telltale, and it is being developed by a skeleton crew at Skybound.
Also pleasing fans of narrative focused, episodic titles, will be the second episode of Life Is Strange 2. Moving away from Chloe and Max, the sequel follows two brothers on an adventure of their own.
Jan. 25 sees the release of Resident Evil 2. Following the success on Resident Evil VII in 2017, Capcom has completely remade what many people consider to be the scariest game in the series.
It doesn’t keep the first-person camera of the most recent game, opting for an over-the-shoulder view instead, but it will look better than you’d ever expect. Prepare for tons of jumps scares and to see Raccoon City like never before.
Finally, releasing on Jan. 29 is not only the biggest game of January but one of the biggest of 2019. It has been more than a decade in waiting, but Kingdom Hearts III is finally about to release.
