"2026 is shaping up to be another big year for video games. The next 12 months are set to bring massive sequels like Forza Horizon 6, Resident Evil Requiem, and Gears of War: E-Day. There are also some smaller games we're excited to get our hands on, like Bubsy 4D, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, and Slay The Spire 2. And of course, there's Grand Theft Auto 6, which, assuming it doesn't get delayed again, will close out 2026 with a big, industry-shaking bang."
"There are so many games to be excited about in 2026 that you might have forgotten about some of them. So we here at Kotaku have created this handy list of 31 games we're excited to play in the new year. Now, place your bets for how many will actually launch in 2026 and how many will instead be delayed to 2027 or beyond."
"The follow-up to one of the best Xbox games ever made, and it's set in a gorgeously dense open-world recreation of Japan. Yup. That's going to be goooood. - Zack Zwiezen Mixing a boomer shooter with classic black-and-white cartoons is an odd choice, but the final product seems awesome, and we don't have to wait long to play. - Zack Zwiezen I didn't have "Excited for a new Bubsy game" on my bingo card for 2026, but here we are."
2026 is expected to feature many major video game releases, ranging from blockbuster sequels to smaller, surprising titles. Notable big sequels include Forza Horizon 6, Resident Evil Requiem, and Gears of War: E-Day. Smaller or niche games of interest include Bubsy 4D, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, and Slay The Spire 2. Grand Theft Auto 6 is anticipated to close out the year if it avoids further delay. Additional highlights include a follow-up set in a detailed open-world Japan, a boomer-shooter with black-and-white cartoon aesthetics, a Bubsy revival, a Gears prequel, a Star Wars racing entry, and Bungie's March extraction-shooter adjustments.
