These are the PC games releasing in December and January

Empire Of Sin | December 1
A prohibition-era strategy game from Romero Games—that's the Romeros, Brenda and John—in which you can roleplay as fictional and historical mob bosses, including Al Capone, and build a bootleg booze and gambling empire.

Chronos: Before the Ashes | December 1
From VR game Chronos, we get a non-VR game prequel to the great Remnant: From the Ashes—except it's all about melee combat, not guns.

got a look at it recently.

Sam and Max Save the World | December 2
Some former Telltale employees got together to release a remaster of the studio's first episodic game, which continued the adventures of the beloved comic book and LucasArts detective duo.

Haven | December 3
A co-op RPG about a couple trying to get by on a hostile planet. Not too many games star romantic pairs from the outset, or are about relationships, and Haven's rhythm combat looks cool.

Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond | December 11
A virtual reality WWII shooter created by Titanfall and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order studio Respawn Entertainment. Things are coming full circle: Respawn's founders also founded Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward, which was originally formed from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault developers.

Airborne Kingdom | December 17
Build a city in the sky. I'm looking forward to this one—it potentially mixes the fun of sending your first scouts out in Civilization with fiddly city planning, both things I love.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues | January 5
To be honest, I didn't know there was a Cobra Kai game coming until I looked at Steam's games list just now. I don't have high hopes, but I am pleased that licensed games like this still get made.

The Medium | January 28
One of several games that was chased out of December by Cyberpunk 2077, The Medium is a new horror game from Bloober Team, developers of Layers of Fear and Blair Witch. It's one of the Xbox Series X optimized games, so we expect some fancy graphics settings (ray traced blood river reflections?).
