It’s been a relatively easy start to 2018, but things are now heating up as we head into the latter part of January, which brings some massive game releases for us to indulge in.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Release date: 26 January 2018 (Xbox One | PS4 |PC)

With Tekken 7 and Injustice 2 shaking up the fighting genre in 2017, Dragon Ball FighterZ is the next big release throwing its weight into the ring this week. Set in the beloved Dragon Ball Z universe, FighterZ takes the tried-and-tested DBZ fighting games back to a 2D plane, resembling the animated series more than ever. There’s a huge roster of fighters and some incredibly cinematic moves to unleash on your poor younger brother or unsuspecting friends. This should be a goodie.

Bring one of the biggest releases this side of 2018, Monster Hunter World is the long-awaited, current-gen jump of the franchise to the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Giant, seamless maps. 4-player online co-op, and of course, a ton of colossal monsters to hunt down and kill in what’s looking to be the series’ most ambitious to-date. Along with being able to play with friend across the globe for the first time, players will also be able to dive into a world-spanning single-player campaign.

The Inpatient

Release date: 23 January 2018 (PS4 |PS VR)

Supermassive Games, the team behind Until Dawn and Hidden Agenda, are set to release their next big title this week, as The Inpatient checks in on PS4 and PS VR. The first-person survival horror sees players take on the role of a patient in a sanatorium who is suffering from some serious amnesia – great set-up for a mind-bending psychological breakdown, right? Players will have to find their way around the sanatorium, talk with other patients and doctors, and get to the bottom of what happened. Those who have PS VR headsets can enjoy a whole new level of immersion in the game too.
