Joyful new 12 months, or virtually new 12 months, or simply… no matter time it’s if you’re studying this.

Listed below are 2026’s greatest sport releases
Earlier than we get into it, only a heads up that that is under no circumstances a 100% complete information to all of the video games popping out in 2026, as lots of these haven’t even been introduced but. Additionally, as at all times, launch dates are topic to vary – I made one thing very very similar to this precisely a 12 months in the past by which I instructed you that GTA could be the largest sport of 2025… assuming it got here out in 2025, which it didn’t. So, that is true in our common month-to-month sport launch updates, but it surely’s very true after we’re speaking about video games which can be 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.

You possibly can’t spell “Buy a Sport In January” with out JRPG, or quite a lot of different letters, however that is the time of 12 months when followers of that exact style are certain to be particularly busy. Nonetheless on the fifteenth, there’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails Past The Horizon, which is the seventeenth installment in The Legend of Heroes collection, or the thirteenth installment within the Trails collection, and a direct sequel to 2022’s Legend of Heroes Trails By way of Dawn II.

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 sport 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 totally different course, and as an alternative of bunch of a bunch of wallrunning dudes and Neil Blomkamp mechs, it’s received extra fantasy aptitude – so if you happen to’ve ever needed to bear arms whereas using a bear, go nuts. That’s free to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Sequence.
Lastly, rounding out January’s JRPGs, on the twenty eighth there’s The Seven Lethal Sins: Origin, an open-world RPG based mostly on the hit anime collection for PS5, PC, and cellular.

Sooner or later in January, 2XKO will hit PS5 and Xbox collection, which is Riot Video games’ 2v2 combating sport that includes a roster of characters from League of Legends – that’s been in early entry on PC since October.
February
On February 5, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined hits PS5, Xbox Sequence, 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 stunned if you happen to sink 100 hours into this simply doing the primary quest.
In case you’d fairly 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 Sequence, and PC February 6.
Additionally on the sixth is Nioh 3, the third installment in Staff Ninja’s tough-as-balls soulslike collection that’s really its first true sequel, as Nioh 2 happened earlier than the occasions of the primary sport – which in all probability has no bearing in anyway on the second to second fight that’s the primary promoting level right here. That’s on PS5 and PC.
On February 11, Romeo is a Deadman is the newest whackadoo motion sport from Suda51 and the positive of us at Grasshopper Manufacture, who gave us such cult classics as Killer7 and No Extra Heroes – this newest one seems to be to be as trendy, absurd, and over-the-top as we’ve come to count on. That’s on PS5, Xbox collection and PC. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing quite a lot of actually fascinating individuals on this job, and Suda is one in all 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 holding busy making bizarre cool video games.
On the twelfth, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Darkish Ties hits all the things 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, however, is a full trendy overhaul, so this’ll play as nice because it seems to be – and the Darkish Ties growth is an entire new aspect story.
Nonetheless that day on Swap 2 is Mario Tennis Fever, which can sound like a enjoyable informal sports activities sport, but it surely’s additionally a really severe medical situation that may be lethal if not handled instantly. In case you develop signs of Mario Tennis Fever whereas taking part in this sport, please seek the advice of a Dr. Mario.
On the thirteenth we’re getting Excessive on Life 2, the follow-up to the superb 2022 first-person metroidvania – and between the primary sport, its Excessive on Knife DLC, and now this, I gotta give the group at Squanch Video games credit score for delivery two and a half Metroid Prime-likes in half the time it took Retro to get Metroid Prime 4 out the door. Additionally, Excessive on Life 2 is the one means you may legally buy the traditional 1991 Knowledge Tree platformer Bible Adventures for present consoles.
On February 20, Ys X: Proud Nordics is the newest Japanese motion RPG rooted in Scandinavian folklore – and it’s really an enhanced re-release of 2023’s Ys X: Nordics, however with sufficient added talents, bosses and ranges that it’s apparently very happy with itself. That’s coming to PS5, PC, and Swap 2.
On the twenty fourth, Tides of Tomorrow hits PS5, Xbox Sequence and PC, which is about in a vibrant post-apocalyptic ocean world that’s riddled with microplastics, and the place the alternatives made by different gamers of their sport will have an effect on how the narrative in yours unfolds.
On February 27, Resident Evil: Requiem – or the ninth mainline entry, if you happen to’re holding depend – hits Xbox Sequence, PS5, PC, and Swap 2. I’m pretty late to the Resident Evil celebration, 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 prepared to provide it a shot, since that group has been knocking it out the park with this collection.
Any Swap 2 house owners trying to play catchup, Resident Evil 7 and eight – AKA Biohazard and Village – are additionally coming to the hybrid handheld that day as nicely. They received cloud-streamed variations on Swap 1, however that is the primary time they’ll be playable domestically on Nintendo {hardware}.
March
On March 5, Pokemon Pokopia involves Swap 2, which type of seems to be 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 Sequence 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 group with some enter from the legendary horror filmmaker turned grouchy hardcore gamer, and it seems to be as if it’ll sit nicely with anybody wishing the Left 4 Lifeless franchise hadn’t been… deserted in a seemingly deceased state. That’s on Xbox Sequence, 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.
Additionally on March 12, Deadly Body 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake hits all of the newer consoles and PC, and that’s a contemporary do-over of the 2003 survival horror sport that’s type of like Pokémon Snap however with scary ghosts as an alternative of cute animals.
In case you’d want a sport about making associates scary animals, on the thirteenth, there’s Monster Hunter Tales 3: Twisted Reflection for those self same platforms, which places a extra standard turn-based JRPG spin on Capcom’s hit creature clobberer collection.
In case you’re extra into large enormous sprawling open-world RPGs with fast-paced realtime fight, on the nineteenth there’s Crimson Desert, the only participant spinoff of Black Desert On-line. That’s on Xbox Sequence, PS5, and PC.
In case you’d fairly simply shoot olde tymie cartoon prison critters, Mouse: P.I. For Rent seems to be to love a boomer shooter with Cuphead aesthetics – that’s on all the things
On March 26, Screamer hits PS5, Xbox Sequence, and PS5 – I heard about this sport some time in the past, and was questioning what was taking so lengthy because the gameplay regarded prefer it was in a fairly good state. The trailer that dropped throughout The Sport Awards answered the hell out of that query: along with being a racing sport, that is additionally a cyberpunk anime, and it positive seems to be 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, yet one more sport with literary inspirations is Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss, a primary particular person thriller mired within the unthinkable cosmic horrors of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, in order that must be a pleasant cheerful jaunt. That’s on Xbox Sequence, PS5, and PC.
On April 24 arrives Pragmata, which is a very new sci-fi property from Capcom that pairs third-person taking pictures with some realtime hacking minigames, which appears cool.
On the same word, on April 30, the parents who gave us Returnal are again with Saros, a roguelite third-person bullet hell, which stars the fantastic Rahul Kohli and takes place in a sci-fi setting that’s cribbing from Robert W. Chambers’ proto-lovecraftian traditional, The King in Yellow.
Might
On Might eighth, Mortal Kombat 2 hits theaters, the primary of two very fun-looking combating sport films. One thing I very a lot appreciated in regards to the first sport is that they didn’t make use of the entire roster, and saved some large names for spherical two – particularly, Johnny Cage, who seems to be 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 Might 27, we’ll get excessive velocity chases and each different type of motion in 007 First Gentle, a sport I’m attempting to not get too enthusiastic about, however which i can’t not – in any case, it’s from the group behind Hitman: World of Assassinaiton, which is already principally the very best James Bond sport thus far, besides this one’s really 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 sport we’ll be getting anytime quickly, and whereas it won’t have fairly the huge roster of playable characters as TT Video games’ earlier LEGO titles, it seems to be to be making up for it with a lot tighter fight. That’s on all of the newer packing containers and likewise PC on Might 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 remedy with John Carpenter’s unique Halloween, which’ll even have a single participant mode this time round. That’s coming to Xbox Sequence, PS5 and PC on September 8.
On September 12, Phantom Blade Zero hits PC and PS5, which seems to be like a soulslike or a hack and slash motion sport, 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 sport, however clearly value together with is the latest Avenue Fighter film, which seems to be 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 Dangerous Journey, which has concerned lots of people getting injured in entertaining methods in public locations in addition to a couple of vehicles getting destroyed, so I feel this film goes to kick ass. That hits theaters October 16 and I might be there opening evening.
November
And naturally, the largest sport of 2026, the 2020s as an entire, and probably all time, assuming it ever comes out, is Grand Theft Auto 6, which is hitting Xbox Sequence and PS5 on November 19 – a date which principally each different sport in growth is steering away from. At this level we’ve been ready so lengthy for this sport that it’s simply stopped seeming like one thing I’ll ever get to play – however sometime, I’ll get to really play it, I feel, and I hope it’s this 12 months!
Now, that takes us to the very finish of video games that presently have launch dates – however there an entire lot extra that simply have obscure 2026 releases deliberate, so right here’s what we’ve received proper now:
Someday in 2026
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is predicted someday within the first quarter of 2026, which helps you to strategically sq. off with Cylons on PC.
Sooner or later 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, perhaps it’ll get some extra tweaks and content material alongside its eventual PlayStation model.
Tremendous Meat Boy 3D provides an entire additional dimension to Staff Meat’s beloved indie platformer, and that’s coming to PS5, Xbox Sequence, and PC.
Zero Parades: For Lifeless Spies is the newest offbeat and very cerebral CRPG from the builders of Disco Elysium. That is clearly a religious successor, however fairly than take cues from detective fiction, Zero Parades is all in regards to the world of espionage – particularly, the nerve-racking deception-based variety, not the attractive hollywood variety. That’s coming to PC and PS5.
If you’d like a sport that takes place inside books, however includes lots much less studying, Chronoscript: The Infinite Finish is an exploration based mostly action-adventure sidescroller – or perhaps extra precisely, web page turner. That’s on PS5 and PC as nicely.
Thick as Thieves is a PvPvE stealth sport from Warren Spector, who was behind the unique Deus Ex, and that’s sneaking onto PS5, Xbox Sequence, and PC in some unspecified time in the future in 2026
In case you’re unhappy we haven’t gotten a model new Metallic Gear Strong sport in over a decade, you would possibly need to control Mudang: Two Hearts, which seems to be like like the same mix of stealth, motion, tactical navy stuff, and excessive sci-fi nonsense, and that’s coming to PS5, Xbox Sequence, and PC as nicely.
In case you like sequels, don’t fear, they’re nonetheless making numerous these: if you wish to go on an influence journey, you generally is a tyrannical dictator in Tropico 7. In case you’d fairly really feel totally powerless, you may get punched so arduous your soul flies out of your physique in Mortal Shell 2. These are each on the massive consoles and PC. On Swap 2 and PC, you may go dungeon-crawling by means of much more bullet hells in Enter the Gungeon 2.
Onimusha: Approach of the Sword marks the long-awated return of Capcom’s PS2-era supernatural samurai collection, and that’s coming to Xbox Sequence, PS5, and PC.
If you wish to journey by means of time and combat 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 all the things.
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 sport is clearly not shying away from an M-rating, however hopefully it’s received 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 Sequence, and PC. After which there’s Marvel Tokon Preventing Souls on PS5 and PC, a combating sport from Arc System Works that appears prefer it may very well 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 can be so impressively lifelike it makes me overlook that I don’t really benefit from the half the place you fly the jet. Don’t get me fallacious, I feel jets are the best factor ever invented and this sport seems to be beautiful, however aerial dogfighting in video video games simply by no means clicks for me. Can I simply play the components the place you eat hamburgers and drink beer with your mates on an plane service? Anyway, that’s on PS5, Xbox Sequence, and PC
Treatment’s David Lynchian interconnected universe will get a bit larger with Management: Resonant, which is a continuation of IGN’s 2019 sport of the 12 months, but additionally connects with Alan Wake 2 and FBC Firebreak – and even if you happen to’re not holding observe of what’s happening, this seems to be prefer it’ll nonetheless be a superb 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 protected from its horrors in the interim. 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 lodge the place quite a lot of bizarre stuff is going on, which is to be anticipated from a lodge 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 seems to be simply beautiful. Numerous video games appear like anime, however this one particularly seems to be like a bubble period OVA, which has not only a particular aesthetic, however a sure VHS graininess and poppy sound high quality as nicely, and that’s such a pretentious delineation however as a reformed weeaboo whose youth have been full of badly dubbed “Japanimation” from Manga Video, I applaud this consideration to element.
One other co-op journey coming this 12 months is Out of Phrases, which is all stop-motion that includes handcrafted puppets. I’ve this idea that Geoff Keighley actually loves puppets, and if you happen to make a sport with puppets in it, he’s extra more likely to function it prominently in one in all his exhibits – Out of Phrases was one in all 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 Sequence, 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 sport.” -And nicely, 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 sport like that and EA has nothing to do with it! Additionally, this isn’t straight podcasting – it’s received a bunch of different speeders and stuff, which jogs my memory of the criminally underrated 2000 vehicular fight sport Star Wars Demolition.
In case you thought that was a silly joke, nicely, unhealthy information as a result of Silly By no means Dies – which is the title 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 sport that has some main Lollipop Chainsaw vibes, but it surely’s really from a brand new studio based by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who, amongst different issues, labored on Satan Might Cry, Resident Evil, and Dragon’s Dogma.
Tankrat is a sport 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 keep in mind Blaster Grasp? No? Effectively it type of regarded like this besides actually previous. Tankrat is coming to PS5 and PC.
To Be Introduced
A complete 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 protected guess for many of those, some would possibly even be additional down the highway, whereas others would possibly by no means come out.
In case you ever wished they’d do a Star Wars XCOM… nicely, 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 all the things in it, and that’s coming to PC in some unspecified time in the future – although this sport in motion, I wouldn’t be stunned if it was a 2027 sport.
Lords of the Fallen 2 is the sequel to the 2023 soulslike, which was itself the reboot of a sport already titled Lords of the Fallen, so that is technically the third Lords of the Fallen sport, however who’s holding observe? 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 individuals 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 sport enjoyer, I’m curious to see what their spin on a long-haul trucking sim is like. That’s on PC, Xbox Sequence, and PS5.
Warhammer 40,000: Daybreak of Conflict 4 is the primary installment within the fan-fave RTS collection in virtually a decade, and whereas it’s not from Relic, the studio that made the primary three video games, it’s from the group behind one other well-received RTS, Iron Harvest. That’s coming to PC.
Tomodachi Life won’t have fairly the identical name-brand recognition as Animal Crossing, however the unique mii-centric social sport launched in 2014 was the eleventh best-selling 3DS sport of all time, so it’s a shock it’s taken Nintendo this lengthy to make one other one. Tomodachi Life: Dwelling the Dream might be on Swap.
Anyone put The Elder Scrolls 6 on our listing of upcoming sport releases, and whereas that’ll in all probability come out sometime, I’d be shocked if it dropped in 2026. Nonetheless, if you happen to’re after an enormous 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 predicted someday in 2026, and although there have been rumblings it’d launch within the first half of the 12 months, 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 Sequence 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 sport and can observe Marcus Fenix through the occasions of Emergence Day, when the massive scary guys you’ve been taking pictures 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, perhaps PS5 in some unspecified time in the future too.
One other main franchise celebrating an enormous anniversary is Tomb Raider, which turns 30 – To rejoice, we’re getting Legacy of Atlantis, a full ground-up Unreal Engine 5 remake of the unique Tomb Raider. It actually seems to be fairly, however I’m curious how a lot it performs just like the originals. That’ll be on Xbox Sequence, PS5, and PC.
In case you ever wished for a distant prequel to the Plague Story video games that swapped the medieval European setting for an historical Greek one, nicely… you’re in luck! As a result of that’s precisely what Resonance: A Plague Story Legacy is – and that’s coming to Xbox Sequence, PS5, and PC
The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales is the newest sport from the parents behind Bravely Default and Octopath Traveller, and hopefully you received’t have to attend a thousand years to play – that one’s coming to all of the newer consoles and PC.
Normally it’s unhealthy when a sport freezes, however typically that’s a function, not a bug – like the grim frigid survival sport Blackfrost: The Lengthy Darkish 2, or Frostrail, a survival sport that’s additionally bleak and frigid, however at the very least 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 Sequence and PS5.
In case you’d wish to strive 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 12 months.
In case you’d fairly go on adventures above the waves, Sea of Remnants is a vibrant and colourful ocean-world RPG, which is slated to hit PC and PS5 in some unspecified time in the future. In case you want rails to sails, there’s additionally Denshattack, which seems to be like Jet Grind Radio, besides you play as a prepare. Positive why not! That’s on PC in addition to Xbox Sequence and PS5.
Sooner or later 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 disillusioned that one thing that appears a lot like Bloodborne isn’t an motion RPG. Nonetheless, as arcane as this sport seems to be, my intelligence is excessive sufficient that I’ll pump a couple of factors into having religion that Hidetaka Miyazaki and firm know what they’re doing.
In case you ever wished Hotline Miami was about precise animal males and never simply males in animal masks, nicely, 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 Sequence and each PlayStations.
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has been in growth for a number of dumptrucks value of hourglass-grade silica powder, however in some unspecified time in the future this 12 months, that’s supposedly popping out – and hopefully it’s definitely worth the wait.
One other Ubisoft remake we’ve been listening to about for nearly as lengthy is Murderer’s Creed 4: Black Flag, which isn’t even formally introduced, however will presumably come to trendy consoles and PC if and when it ever will get launched.

So, there you go! That’s a glance forward on the greatest video games coming in 2026 that we find out about proper now.
