Sony has recently revealed the games that will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers for January 2016.

On Wednesday, Dec. 30, Sony Computer Entertainment America's Andy Lum announced through a post at the PlayStation Blog the six games that will be free starting Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016.

"Grim Fandango Remastered"

This remastered version of the original "Grim Fandango" released in 1998 features high-resolution character textures, dynamic lighting, classic score by a full live orchestra, concept art browser, and more than two hours of commentary from developer Double Fine Productions.

In the game, players will be Manny Calavera, an agent for the Department of Death. He's basically the grim reaper tasked to guide souls to their eternal rest.

"Hardware: Rivals"

Building upon PS2's "Hardware: Online Arena," "Hardware: Rival" puts players in the driver's seat of a powerful tank or a mobile attack jeep. The title is basically an arcade-style combat game between vehicles. It comes with online multiplayer, multiple maps, modes, and special events.

"Dragon Age: Origins"

Electronic Arts' award-winning RPG, "Dragon Age: Origins," takes players in a kingdom beset with an ancient demon and engulfed with civil war. Playing as Grey Warden, the last remaining member of a legendary order, players must make moral choices and face monsters in combat.

"Legends of War Patton"

Slitherine Software's "Legends of War Patton" is a turn-based game that takes players from Normandy beaches to Berlin during World War 2. Playable solo or with another player, the game features 21 missions in four Operations, 44 battlefield maps, and 36 different types of warfare vehicles and units.

"Medal of Honor Warfighter"

Another EA game, "Medal of Honor Warfighter," is a first-person shooter. Unlike its predecessor, "Medal of Honor," the title features modern warfare scenarios. The game can be played alone or with two to 20 other players.

"Nihilumbra"

This title from BeautiFun Games will take players in a journey across the world of Nihilumbra. The game is meant to be played by one player who will control Born, who was created from the Void that seeks to take him back. As Born, players can explore five worlds that they can change using five different colors.
