What Games Should You Try Out For First?
While there are quite a few mobile games releasing in January 2026, few are as large and hyped as Arknights: Endfield. This real time 3D strategy sim RPG from Gryphline (Hypergryph in China) releases on January 22, 2026 for mobile devices, PCs and the PS5.
Like the original Arknights, Endfield follows a very similar base building and resource management mechanic, which is integral to its core gameplay loop. As a spiritual successor, Endfield also boasts improved visuals, gameplay depth and is shaping up to be the most exciting mobile release of the month.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is the next game to look out for within this particular list. This particular open world RPG is based off the 7DS IP, and features returning characters and locales to go along with it.
It’s also been designated as an ARPG, which should quite possibly point toward a more in-depth combat system when compared to previous entries. Regardless, it still is shaping up to be a fantastic little title, releasing on January 28, 2026.
We end our list with a rather curious addition – Might & Magic Fates TCG. As the name implies, this is a trading card game (TCG) in mobile form, based on the Might and Magic universe.
This particular game releases on January 28, 2026 for both Android and iOS devices.
