New Release Round-Up (January 7, 2021)

Welcome to RPGamer’s new release round-up. In this column we look to provide our readers with details on all of the RPGs released over the previous week.

This column is a replacement for our previous Digital Store Update column. Unfortunately, recent trends and changes to certain digital storefronts have made the process of listing the relevant RPG titles on sale far too time-consuming to continue with, so we have repositioned the column to focus on providing some more details about the new releases. Links to the latest sales will still be available at the bottom of the article.
