According to Decrypt, January 2024 may not have the busiest release schedule for new video games, but there are still some notable titles worth playing. Among the most anticipated releases are Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Tekken 8, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, set to release on January 18, revives the classic adventure brand after more than a decade. The game will be available on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The Last of Us Part II Remastered, launching on January 19, offers a visual upgrade and additional content for the PS5 version of the popular game.

Tekken 8, releasing on January 26, brings Bandai Namco's fighting franchise to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC with new combat elements and a more cinematic touch. Lastly, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, also set to release on January 26, expands the rebranded Yakuza series with an open-world action game featuring both series leads and new locations.

According to Decrypt, the first-ever cartoon of Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie, has entered the public domain, and crypto enthusiasts have celebrated by minting a meme coin. On January 1, the character from the 1928 cartoon became available for artists to use without permission. In response, a new token called MICKEY was minted, with its website stating that the launch marks the beginning of a new adventure into the unknown. The Mickey (MICKEY) meme coin is inspired by the original Mickey Mouse character from Steamboat Willie and runs on the Ethereum blockchain. With a current market cap of just $6,500, meme coins like MICKEY are known for their volatility and can drop in price as quickly as they gain value. Despite the 1928 version of Mickey Mouse entering the public domain, Disney plans to continue protecting its rights in more modern versions of the character and other works still subject to copyright.
