Hello, I wanted to share some upcoming video games that should have a release in 2026 that I am excited for. I would also like to hear some of the games you guys are excited for.

  1. ONTOS (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2924520/ONTOS/)

    A new horror game from the creators of SOMA (one of my favourite games/pieces of media ever) and Amnesia. I like that after the success of Amnesia: The Bunker they did not decide to just make another one and decided to make an entirely different i.p., and tbh after Amnesia: Rebirth they were kinda falling out of favour for me but Amnesia: The Bunker was such a phenomenal game that I have high hopes for ONTOS.
  2. Valor Mortis (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828710/Valor_Mortis/)

    Described by the developers as a soulslike (don't roll your eyes yet) with a first person perspective, made by the people that made Ghostrunner, the game is set in a fantasy Napoleonic wartime, which to me is a really interesting setting and I don't think I have ever played or seen a non-rts game be set there. I liked Ghostrunner mechanically but I don't really care for the cyberpunk scene and I have yet to play Ghostrunner 2, nevertheless, this game looks really cool and gritty.

  3. Crisol: Theater of Idols (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1790930/Crisol_Theater_of_Idols/)

    It does not explicitly say that this game releases in 2026, but after looking it up, it was supposed to be released in 2025 and then got pushed back to early 2026. Don't really have much to say about this one except that it looks really cool, the steampunkish/biomechanical aesthetic is dope and I'm a sucker for FPS horror games.

  4. Resident Evil Requiem (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3764200/Resident_Evil_Requiem/)

    I really like the new Resident Evils, I consider Resident Evil 7 to be one of the best FPS horror games out there (until you get to the ship level at least). I liked 8 even though I know it was kinda not received well. Fingers crossed they don't get high off of their farts and mess up this one.

  5. Crimson Desert (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3321460/Crimson_Desert/)

    Don't really have background on this game too, never played black desert online. But from the gameplay trailers and everything else I have seen, it is shaping up to be a very good game, I've been craving an open world fantasy rpg, dragon's dogma 2 was supposed to scratch that itch for me but I didn't even attempt to give it a go due to all of the performance issues I read on every review and that it also doesn't really solve the gameplay problems that I had with its predeccessor. I really hope this game delivers.
I have way more in my wishlist but I didn't want to make this post too long. What are some of the games you are anticipating for 2026.
 
Well, there's no official release, but the guys who made Expeditions: Rome are freed from being an NFT slop factory and are working on a new Expeditions game, so there's that. Also Strategos is coming out this month, and it's basically a more realistic version of Rome: Total War so that's cool.

Yes I'm back on my ancient era autism again, how could you tell?
 
The Expanse
Boltgun II
ILL
 
American Showa Story

And maybe HOMM: Olden Era

Dark Hersey is legit my most hyped game besides the next Kingdom hearts and final fantasy.


Owlcat did such a good job with rogue trader that I considered it game of the year in 2023. Just peak based writing and choices. A wonderful way to get into 40k.
 
This. Did you play the demo? If it holds up, could be back in business. Of course it could also become evaporate, so who knows.

I guess maybe Titan Quest 2, and I still hold out the absolute slimmest of hope that they can un-fuck POE2.
As a general rule, I stay away from early access, demo and all manner of unfinished works, so no.

It's made by the devs of Iratus, a game I personally enjoyed, but Ubisoft is also involved, so I'm torn between it's so over and we're so back.
