We found a total of four releases of Bavarian games and updates or releases from Bavarian publishers online in January. This makes January the quietest month so far after the long Christmas vacations. For February, however, the list of pre-announcements for updates and releases is already longer than today’s article and we are happy about the four releases as well as about exciting news in the coming month.

Did we forget a release or do you have a release coming up soon? Then feel free to send us an email to [email protected] or contact us on Facebook. You are also invited to exchange ideas with other games companies in the Facebook group Gamesgrantler – The Games/Bavaria Community Group. We are also happy about a follow on Twitter and LinkedIn.
