So, that is true in our common month-to-month recreation launch updates, however it’s very true after we’re speaking about video games which are 11 months away, or video games that don’t have launch dates but.
January
On January 15, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will get a brand new lease on life, and likewise a brand new mortgage to repay when the beloved debt, yard work, and inside ornament sim involves Swap 2 – and if you happen to occur to be one of many 50 million individuals who purchased Animal Crossing on the unique Swap, you’ll be comfortable to listen to you could improve to the Swap 2 model for simply 5 bucks.

Not fairly a JRPG, however JRPG-adjacent, Dynasty Warriors Origins additionally hits Swap 2 that day, alongside the Visions of 4 Heroes DLC growth, which additionally involves the opposite platforms the sport’s already on.
On the twenty sixth, Highguard drops, which is the brand new PVP raid recreation from a bunch of ex-Respawn devs who labored on Titanfall and Apex Legends – and whilst you can see some comparable DNA, it’s clearly going a really completely different course, and as a substitute of bunch of a bunch of wallrunning dudes and Neil Blomkamp mechs, it’s bought extra fantasy aptitude – so if you happen to’ve ever needed to bear arms whereas using a bear, go nuts.

On February 5, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined hits PS5, Xbox Collection, each Switches, and PC. Initially launched stateside for PS1 in 2001, after which 3DS 15 years after that, it’s now getting a full trendy overhaul. JRPGs aren’t precisely identified for being concise, however this one is fairly infamously beefy, and don’t be shocked if you happen to sink 100 hours into this simply doing the principle quest.
Should you’d reasonably simply make a bunch of colourful characters hit one another, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a 3v3 area fighter that includes a number of dozen characters from the beloved anime collection. That’s on PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC February 6.

That’s on PS5 and PC.
On February 11, Romeo is a Deadman is the newest whackadoo motion recreation from Suda51 and the tremendous people at Grasshopper Manufacture, who gave us such cult classics as Killer7 and No Extra Heroes – this newest one appears to be as trendy, absurd, and over-the-top as we’ve come to anticipate. That’s on PS5, Xbox collection and PC. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing a variety of actually attention-grabbing folks on this job, and Suda is certainly one of my favorites – we did one with him years in the past the place we requested a bunch of actually silly questions rapid-fire and he didn’t skip a beat. So anyway, I’m comfortable to see he’s protecting busy making bizarre cool video games.
On the twelfth, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Darkish Ties hits every little thing however Xbox One. Yakuza 3 was initially launched for the PS3 again in 2009, and although it was included with the remastered assortment in 2019, that model did not get any main graphical or gameplay enhancements. Kiwami 3, alternatively, is a full trendy overhaul, so this’ll play as nice because it appears – and the Darkish Ties growth is a complete new facet story.
Nonetheless that day on Swap 2 is Mario Tennis Fever, which can sound like a enjoyable informal sports activities recreation, however it’s additionally a really critical medical situation that may be lethal if not handled instantly.

Additionally, Excessive on Life 2 is the one means you’ll be able to legally buy the basic 1991 Knowledge Tree platformer Bible Adventures for present consoles.

On February 27, Resident Evil: Requiem – or the ninth mainline entry, if you happen to’re protecting depend – hits Xbox Collection, PS5, PC, and Swap 2. I’m pretty late to the Resident Evil occasion, however as somebody who favored 7, cherished 8, and adored the remakes, I’m pretty lukewarm on what I’ve seen of this one so honest – however I’m additionally keen to present it a shot, since that staff has been knocking it out the park with this collection.
Any Swap 2 homeowners trying to play catchup, Resident Evil 7 and eight – AKA Biohazard and Village – are additionally coming to the hybrid handheld that day as properly. They bought cloud-streamed variations on Swap 1, however that is the primary time they’ll be playable regionally on Nintendo {hardware}.
March
On March 5, Pokemon Pokopia involves Swap 2, which form of appears like Animal Crossing, besides you play as a ditto who’s masquerading as a human being, one thing that can by no means not be completely unsettling.
Hitting PC, Xbox Collection and PS5 on March 12, John Carpenter’s Poisonous Commando is a post-apocalyptic co-op FPS that’s been developed by the World Conflict Z staff with some enter from the legendary horror filmmaker turned grouchy hardcore gamer, and it appears as if it’ll sit properly with anybody wishing the Left 4 Useless franchise hadn’t been… deserted in a seemingly deceased state. That’s on Xbox Collection, PS5, and PC.
That very same day on PC is Solasta 2, the follow-up to the very well-received 2021 tactical CRPG, which ought to click on with anyone who’s had their fill of Baldur’s Gate 3 and must kill a while earlier than Divinity.

Should you’d reasonably simply shoot olde tymie cartoon felony critters, Mouse: P.I. For Rent appears to love a boomer shooter with Cuphead aesthetics – that’s on every little thing
On March 26, Screamer hits PS5, Xbox Collection, and PS5 – I heard about this recreation some time in the past, and was questioning what was taking so lengthy because the gameplay regarded prefer it was in a reasonably good state. The trailer that dropped throughout The Sport Awards answered the hell out of that query: along with being a racing recreation, that is additionally a cyberpunk anime, and it positive appears like these cutscenes took some time. So, if you happen to’ve ever wished for a cross between Redline and Preliminary D with playable races, right here you go!
April
On April 16, one more recreation with literary inspirations is Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss, a primary individual thriller mired within the unthinkable cosmic horrors of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, in order that ought to be a pleasant cheerful jaunt. That’s on Xbox Collection, PS5, and PC.

Could
On Could eighth, Mortal Kombat 2 hits theaters, the primary of two very fun-looking combating recreation films. One thing I very a lot appreciated concerning the first recreation is that they didn’t make use of the entire roster, and saved some massive names for spherical two – specifically, Johnny Cage, who appears to be very a lot the central focus of the sequel, and he’s being performed by the ever-delightful Karl City. Very excited to observe him do a break up and punch somebody within the groin.
On Could 27, we’ll get excessive pace chases and each different form of motion in 007 First Mild, a recreation I’m attempting to not get too enthusiastic about, however which i can’t not – in spite of everything, it’s from the staff behind Hitman: World of Assassinaiton, which is already principally one of the best James Bond recreation thus far, besides this one’s truly about Ian Fleming’s legendary spy. Anyway that’s coming to all of the newer consoles and PC.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Darkish Knight is the closest factor to an Arkham recreation we’ll be getting anytime quickly, and whereas it may not have fairly the large roster of playable characters as TT Video games’ earlier LEGO titles, it appears to be making up for it with a lot tighter fight. That’s on all of the newer packing containers and likewise PC on Could 29.
September
Illfonic, the studio that gave us asymmetrical multiplayer horror video games based mostly on Friday the thirteenth, Killer Klowns from Outer House, and Predator are giving the granddaddy of all slashers the identical therapy with John Carpenter’s authentic Halloween, which’ll even have a single participant mode this time round. That’s coming to Xbox Collection, PS5 and PC on September 8.
On September 12, Phantom Blade Zero hits PC and PS5, which appears like a soulslike or a hack and slash motion recreation, and whereas it’s an motion RPG with numerous hacking and slashing, it’s apparently doing its personal factor that’s someplace within the center – regardless of the hell it’s, buzz on this one is killer.
October
Not a recreation, however clearly value together with is the latest Road Fighter film, which appears like an absolute blast and I’ve been hyping this film up because the first casting bulletins trickled out – it’s directed by Kitao Sakurai, who’s finest identified for his work with Eric Andre on the Eric Andre Present and the movie Unhealthy Journey, which has concerned lots of people getting injured in entertaining methods in public locations in addition to a number of automobiles getting destroyed, so I feel this film goes to kick ass. That hits theaters October 16 and I will likely be there opening night time.
November
And naturally, the most important recreation of 2026, the 2020s as a complete, and presumably all time, assuming it ever comes out, is Grand Theft Auto 6, which is hitting Xbox Collection and PS5 on November 19 – a date which principally each different recreation in improvement is steering away from. At this level we’ve been ready so lengthy for this recreation that it’s simply stopped seeming like one thing I’ll ever get to play – however sometime, I’ll get to truly play it, I feel, and I hope it’s this yr!
Now, that takes us to the very finish of video games that at present have launch dates – however there a complete lot extra that simply have obscure 2026 releases deliberate, so right here’s what we’ve bought proper now:
Someday in 2026
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is anticipated someday within the first quarter of 2026, which helps you to strategically sq. off with Cylons on PC.
In some unspecified time in the future in 2026, Starfield is supposedly coming to PS5, and whereas Bethesda’s dropped a handful of updates post-launch, I really feel like gamers weren’t fairly over the moon for this one – however who is aware of, possibly it’ll get some extra tweaks and content material alongside its eventual PlayStation model.
Tremendous Meat Boy 3D provides a complete further dimension to Crew Meat’s beloved indie platformer, and that’s coming to PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC.
Zero Parades: For Useless Spies is the newest offbeat and very cerebral CRPG from the builders of Disco Elysium. That is clearly a religious successor, however reasonably than take cues from detective fiction, Zero Parades is all concerning the world of espionage – particularly, the nerve-racking deception-based type, not the attractive hollywood type. That’s coming to PC and PS5.
If you’d like a recreation that takes place inside books, however includes rather a lot much less studying, Chronoscript: The Countless Finish is an exploration based mostly action-adventure sidescroller – or possibly extra precisely, web page turner. That’s on PS5 and PC as properly.
Thick as Thieves is a PvPvE stealth recreation from Warren Spector, who was behind the unique Deus Ex, and that’s sneaking onto PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC in some unspecified time in the future in 2026

Should you like sequels, don’t fear, they’re nonetheless making numerous these: if you wish to go on an influence journey, you could be a tyrannical dictator in Tropico 7. Should you’d reasonably really feel totally powerless, you may get punched so laborious your soul flies out of your physique in Mortal Shell 2. These are each on the large consoles and PC. On Swap 2 and PC, you’ll be able to go dungeon-crawling by much more bullet hells in Enter the Gungeon 2.
Onimusha: Method of the Sword marks the long-awated return of Capcom’s PS2-era supernatural samurai collection, and that’s coming to Xbox Collection, PS5, and PC.
If you wish to journey by time and struggle some ex boyfriends, there’s Scott Pilgrim EX, the long-awaited follow-up to hit beat-em-up based mostly on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved Canadian manga, which is on principally every little thing.
Talking of Canadians, Marvel’s fan favourite canucklehead lastly slices and dices his means onto PS5 someday within the fall – Insomniac’s long-awaited Wolverine recreation is clearly not shying away from an M-rating, however hopefully it’s bought as a lot brains and coronary heart because it does blood and guts.
Two different Marvel video games are additionally within the works anticipated in 2026 in some unspecified time in the future: Skydance’s Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, which options Cap and Black Panther’s grandpa, who can also be Black Panther, combating in World Conflict 2 on PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC. After which there’s Marvel Tokon Preventing Souls on PS5 and PC, a combating recreation from Arc System Works that appears prefer it could possibly be a correct religious successor to Marvel Vs Capcom – simply, with out the Capcom.
Ace Fight 8: Wings of Theve is the newest entry within the lengthy operating jet pilot sim to attempt to tempt me into taking part in it with sequences of stuff taking place exterior of a jet which are so impressively reasonable it makes me neglect that I don’t truly benefit from the half the place you fly the jet. Don’t get me mistaken, I feel jets are the good factor ever invented and this recreation appears attractive, however aerial dogfighting in video video games simply by no means clicks for me. Can I simply play the elements the place you eat hamburgers and drink beer with your mates on an plane service? Anyway, that’s on PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC
Treatment’s David Lynchian interconnected universe will get a bit greater with Management: Resonant, which is a continuation of IGN’s 2019 recreation of the yr, but in addition connects with Alan Wake 2 and FBC Firebreak – and even if you happen to’re not protecting monitor of what’s occurring, this appears prefer it’ll nonetheless be time.
I’ve at all times questioned why no person’s made any first-person soulslikes, and the trailer for Decrepit answered that query very loudly: as a result of they’d be too fucking scary. Get this shit outta right here. Too scary! Simply terrible! No thanks! That’s on PC for now, so if you happen to play on console, you’re secure from its horrors in the intervening time. Did you see that spider? Fuck off!
Much less scary wanting, however from a studio with some main horror chops is Ontos, which is from the parents behind Amnesia and SOMA and takes place in a resort the place a variety of bizarre stuff is occurring, which is to be anticipated from a resort that’s on the moon.
If you’d like one thing good and cute in area, there’s the two-player co-op journey Oribitals on Swap 2 which appears simply attractive. Plenty of video games appear to be anime, however this one particularly appears like a bubble period OVA, which has not only a particular aesthetic, however a sure VHS graininess and poppy sound high quality as properly, and that’s such a pretentious delineation however as a reformed weeaboo whose childhood had been full of badly dubbed “Japanimation” from Manga Video, I applaud this consideration to element.
One other co-op journey coming this yr is Out of Phrases, which is all stop-motion that includes handcrafted puppets. I’ve this principle that Geoff Keighley actually loves puppets, and if you happen to make a recreation with puppets in it, he’s extra more likely to function it prominently in certainly one of his reveals – Out of Phrases was certainly one of two puppet-centric video games that debuted at Summer season Sport Fest, the opposite being Felt That: Boxing, and it confirmed up once more at The Sport Awards in between Miss Piggy appearances. Anyway that’s coming to the brand new consoles and PC.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is hitting PS5, Xbox Collection, and PC in some unspecified time in the future in 2026, and I’m stoked – like 10 years in the past, when it was introduced that EA had the Star Wars license, I used to be like, “Get the individuals who do Burnout and Want for Velocity to do a podracing recreation.” -And properly, it took a minute, however we’re getting one thing even higher: a studio based by a bunch of ex-Criterion devs is making a recreation like that and EA has nothing to do with it! Additionally, this isn’t straight podcasting – it’s bought a bunch of different speeders and stuff, which jogs my memory of the criminally underrated 2000 vehicular fight recreation Star Wars Demolition.
Should you thought that was a silly joke, properly, unhealthy information as a result of Silly By no means Dies – which is the identify of a online game that’s popping out in some unspecified time in the future on PC and PS5. This can be a dungeon crawler motion recreation that has some main Lollipop Chainsaw vibes, however it’s truly from a brand new studio based by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who, amongst different issues, labored on Satan Could Cry, Resident Evil, and Dragon’s Dogma.
Tankrat is a recreation the place you drive a cool tank round and shoot stuff whereas additionally exploring and discovering new stuff to make your tank even cooler – and it jogs my memory of contemporary model of Blaster Grasp. You guys bear in mind Blaster Grasp? No? Effectively it form of regarded like this besides actually outdated. Tankrat is coming to PS5 and PC.
To Be Introduced
An entire lot of video games simply have a obscure “TBA” launch window, which signifies that they’ll in all probability come out sometime. And whereas 2026 looks as if a secure wager for many of those, some may even be additional down the highway, whereas others may by no means come out.
Should you ever wished they’d do a Star Wars XCOM… properly, they’re doing it! Zero Firm, or ZCOM for brief, is from a studio of ex-Firaxis devs, and appears like a turn-based tactical good time. That’s coming to Xbox, PS5, and PC.
Cinder Metropolis is an open-world MMO tactical shooter that appears prefer it has actually every little thing in it, and that’s coming to PC in some unspecified time in the future – although taking a look at this recreation in motion, I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a 2027 recreation.
Lords of the Fallen 2 is the sequel to the 2023 soulslike, which was itself the reboot of a recreation already titled Lords of the Fallen, so that is technically the third Lords of the Fallen recreation, however who’s protecting monitor? That’s on the newer non-Nintendo consoles and PC.
All we’ve seen of Highway Kings is a cinematic trailer the place a dude drives his 18 wheeler straight towards a twister, however that looks as if it was sufficient to get folks hyped. And it’s from Saber, the studio that gave us Mudrunner and Snowrunner and the current Highway Craft, and as a really informal truck recreation enjoyer, I’m curious to see what their spin on a long-haul trucking sim is like. That’s on PC, Xbox Collection, and PS5.
Warhammer 40,000: Daybreak of Conflict 4 is the primary installment within the fan-fave RTS collection in nearly a decade, and whereas it’s not from Relic, the studio that made the primary three video games, it’s from the staff behind one other well-received RTS, Iron Harvest. That’s coming to PC.
Tomodachi Life may not have fairly the identical name-brand recognition as Animal Crossing, however the authentic mii-centric social recreation launched in 2014 was the eleventh best-selling 3DS recreation of all time, so it’s a shock it’s taken Nintendo this lengthy to make one other one. Tomodachi Life: Dwelling the Dream will likely be on Swap.
Any individual put The Elder Scrolls 6 on our listing of upcoming recreation releases, and whereas that’ll in all probability come out sometime, I might be shocked if it dropped in 2026. Nonetheless, if you happen to’re after a giant fairly fantasy RPG from Xbox Sport Studios, Fable appears much more possible for a fall launch. This one is from Playground Video games, the studio that gave us Forza Horizon, so I’m stoked to see how they deal with wizard stuff.
Talking of Forza Horizon, the sixth entry is anticipated someday in 2026, and although there have been rumblings it’d launch within the first half of the yr, nothing official on that entrance other than the truth that it’s set in Japan this time round. Fable and Forza Horizon are each hitting Xbox Collection and PC, with PS5 variations in all probability arriving afterward, if current Xbox launch technique is something to go on.
Gears of Conflict turns 20 in 2026, and to mark the event we’re hopefully getting a model new installment with E-Day. This can be a prequel set 14 years earlier than the primary recreation and can comply with Marcus Fenix throughout the occasions of Emergence Day, when the large scary guys you’ve been capturing at and chainsawing into items in all the opposite installments first began popping out of holes within the floor. That’ll be on Xbox and PC for positive, and once more, possibly PS5 in some unspecified time in the future too.
One other main franchise celebrating a giant anniversary is Tomb Raider, which turns 30 – To have a good time, we’re getting Legacy of Atlantis, a full ground-up Unreal Engine 5 remake of the unique Tomb Raider. It definitely appears fairly, however I’m curious how a lot it performs just like the originals. That’ll be on Xbox Collection, PS5, and PC.
Should you ever wished for a distant prequel to the Plague Story video games that swapped the medieval European setting for an historic Greek one, properly… you’re in luck! As a result of that’s precisely what Resonance: A Plague Story Legacy is – and that’s coming to Xbox Collection, PS5, and PC
The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales is the newest recreation from the parents behind Bravely Default and Octopath Traveller, and hopefully you gained’t have to attend a thousand years to play – that one’s coming to all of the newer consoles and PC.
Often it’s unhealthy when a recreation freezes, however generally that’s a function, not a bug – like the grim frigid survival recreation Blackfrost: The Lengthy Darkish 2, or Frostrail, a survival recreation that’s additionally bleak and frigid, however not less than you’ve gotten a prepare – these are each coming to PC – and there’s additionally Ikuma: The Frozen Compass, a coming of age story set within the arctic, which appears frigid, however much less bleak – which is on PC, in addition to Xbox Collection and PS5.
Should you’d prefer to attempt your hand at surviving whereas submerged in melted ice, ie: water, Subnautica 2 is hitting early entry on PC and Xbox any day now. And by “now” I imply in some unspecified time in the future within the coming yr.

That’s on PC in addition to Xbox Collection and PS5.
In some unspecified time in the future The Duskbloods is popping out, which is FromSoftware’s Swap 2 unique foray into the world of PvE multiplayer, and I do know I’m not the one one who’s dissatisfied that one thing that appears a lot like Bloodborne isn’t an motion RPG. Nonetheless, as arcane as this recreation appears, my intelligence is excessive sufficient that I’ll pump a number of factors into having religion that Hidetaka Miyazaki and firm know what they’re doing.
Should you ever wished Hotline Miami was about precise animal males and never simply males in animal masks, properly, get a load of Kusan: Metropolis of Wolves – it’s precisely what I simply described. That’s coming to PC in addition to Swap, Xbox Collection and each PlayStations.
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has been in improvement for a number of dumptrucks value of hourglass-grade silica powder, however in some unspecified time in the future this yr, that’s supposedly popping out – and hopefully it’s well worth the wait.
