The 10 most anticipated video games of 2026
"Live your mountaineering fantasies and brave the elements in a wonderfully illustrated climbing game. You must carefully place climber Aava's hands and feet to make your way up a forbidding mountain, camping on ledges and bandaging her fingers as you go. Like real climbing, it is challenging and somewhat brutal. PC, PlayStation 5; 29 January Onwards and upwards Cairn. Photograph: The Game Bakers A two-player animated horror game in the Tim Burton mode, minus all the whimsy."
"Capcom's horror series is very old, but it still comes up with new ways to make your skin crawl. In Requiem we play as bookish Grace, whom the game's director calls the biggest scaredy-cat in Resident Evil history, and the confidently combat-proficient cop Leon S Kennedy, pursued by monsters through the iconic Raccoon City. Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox; 27 February Pokemon Pokopia How does your garden grow? Pokemon Pokopia. Photograph: Nintendo"
Cairn delivers an illustrated climbing experience where players place climber Aava's hands and feet, camp on ledges, and bandage fingers, emphasizing realistic challenge and brutality. A two-player animated horror game adopts Tim Burton-style visuals without whimsy, forcing a brother and sister to escape a twisted version of their hometown while stalked by spike-limbed monsters and reanimated creatures. Capcom's Requiem pairs bookish Grace and cop Leon S Kennedy as they flee monsters through Raccoon City. Pokemon Pokopia lets players, as a Ditto, rebuild habitats and a town using Pokemon abilities in a blocky, family-friendly world. IO Interactive's 007 First Light features a younger, pre-007 James Bond.
