Every Video Game Releasing in 2026

31.12.2025 Comment Views: 22

The decision by Rockstar Games to push Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026 undoubtedly allowed rival publishers to breathe easier regarding their late-2025 schedules. However, that relief is short-lived; 2026 is rapidly becoming one of the most densely packed years in gaming history—even beyond the shadow of GTA 6, which is currently targeted for a November debut.

Alongside Rockstar’s sprawling criminal odyssey, the 2026 calendar is overflowing with high-profile projects. Key highlights include Playground Games’ reimagined Fable, Bungie’s return to the Marathon universe, and a modernized Halo: Combat Evolved. Capcom is set for a dominant year with a trio of major titles—Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword—while Housemarque aims to follow up Returnal with the enigmatic Saros. FromSoftware is expected to deliver The Duskbloods, and Nintendo fans are finally seeing movement on Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Marvel enthusiasts also have a massive year ahead, featuring a fresh fighting game, a World War II-era collaboration between Captain America and Black Panther, and the long-anticipated arrival of Insomniac Games’ Wolverine.

The year isn’t just about established giants. A wave of creative originals is on the horizon, including the tactical RPG SacriFire, Warren Spector’s PvPvE stealth title Thick As Thieves, and the vampire-themed life sim Moonlight Peaks. On the hardware front, Valve is set to refresh the landscape with new 2026 Steam Machines and updated Steam Controllers. And, for those with specific tastes, it appears we are in for a surplus of frog-centric adventures. Since release windows are notoriously fluid, this guide to 2026’s video game releases will be frequently revised to reflect new announcements, firm dates, and the inevitable delays.
