The Lunar New Year is nearly upon us, and many retailers are starting to hold special events to commemorate the day. That latest Lunar New Year Sale is from digital PC games retailer Fanatical, which has discounted dozens of great titles for the holiday, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

In addition to the regular Lunar New Year discounts, Fanatical is also holding special Star Deals, which are only available for a limited time or until keys stay in stock. The current Star Deal is the Metro Redux bundle for only $4.49. The Metro series is one of my favourites, so if you haven't played these story-focused shooters, then I definitely recommend them--though please note that the deal ends on January 22 and keys are starting to dwindle.

Other big games on sale include Resident Evil 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Devil May Cry 5, and Ghost Recon Wildlands, in addition to Total War: Three Kingdoms, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Rainbow Six Siege. Fanatical's Lunar New Year sale runs through January 27.

Aside from discounting over 1,000 games, Fanatical is also holding a contest for $500 of store credit. To enter the contest, you have to agree to receive emails from Fanatical. After that, you can get more entries by doing various things, such as visiting Fanatical's social media pages, following the store on Twitter and Twitch, or joining its Discord server and Steam group. You can enter the contest on Fanatical's blog.
