"As we put a bow on 2025, we've gladly acknowledged all the good that has emerged out of the games industry and the incredibly creative folks therein. We received unexpected hits, tried-and-true juggernauts, and a follow-up to one of the most successful video game devices of all time. However, as I look ahead to 2026, I cannot help but feel wowed by the number of heavy hitting video games and all-around nerdy things that I cannot wait to experience over the next year."
"Grand Theft Auto VI is at the top of mind for pretty much everyone, but other top-notch studios have games we also cannot wait to get our hands on. Marvel's Wolverine, Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, 007 First Light, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Invincible VS, Pokémon Pokopia, Saros, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Forza Horizon 6, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis all look and sound extraordinarily promising."
"But it's not just games that nerdy folks such as myself are excited for. After a bit of a down year for game adaptations, the video game movies of 2026 are super promising: Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to follow up the most popular video game adaptation of all time, while Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat II have a high ceiling when it comes to how fun they shape up to be."
2025 delivered unexpected hits, established juggernauts, and a successful follow-up game device. 2026 features an exceptionally strong slate of major video game releases, including Grand Theft Auto VI, Marvel's Wolverine, Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, 007 First Light, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Invincible VS, Pokémon Pokopia, Saros, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Forza Horizon 6, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Nintendo may announce additional surprises with short lead times before release. The 2026 film slate looks promising for game adaptations with Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat II. Comic-book films also show renewed activity with several high-profile titles and new seasons.
