With 2022 now done, January 2023 starts out surprisingly busy with a few highly-anticipated exclusives, notable ports to new platforms, and more. If you missed the start of our Game of the Year coverage, read this. December 2022 saw games like Crisis Core return alongside Dragon Quest Treasures that I’m still playing for review and enjoying. Here’s what you need to know about the Japanese games releasing in January 2023 on all platforms. As usual, I’ll update this when dates change or new ones get announced.
