10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
7. Dragon Quest VIII - Journey of the Cursed King
What is it: Only one of the most phenomenal JRPG games to ever grace the PS2.
Dragon Quest VIII, the first truly 3D game in the series, broke records upon its original release 12 years ago, shipping over three million copies in its first week in Japan. Its colourful world, memorable characters, and charming retro combat, made it JRPG perfection.
The 3DS re-release takes a massive game and improves it even further, with a massive laundry list of improvements. New side quests, two new party characters, no more random battles, an option to speed up combat, enhanced monster capturing and taming... it's a lot.
It even throws in an entirely new ending, giving those who've replayed the game a reason to come back and undo the curse of Castle Trodain all over again. The idea of that has never felt so refreshing until now.
When's it coming out: 20 January for Nintendo 3DS - a whopping two years after the original 3DS release in Japan!
