The RPGs of 2026: Every RPG and their release dates

by

If you are looking for the 2025 RPG list, click here.

Here’s a look at the role-playing games we’re anticipating in 2026. We’ll be updating this list regularly as new information becomes available.

It can be surprisingly difficult to clearly define what makes a game an ‘RPG’. We’ve included some games below that might not perfectly fit the label, but they all have strong role-playing aspects. We’ve taken a flexible approach to the definition.

Here are some house rules of the list:

  • Our list only includes games with confirmed English versions set to release in 2026. Games that do not have confirmed English localizations or have not yet been announced with 2026 release plans will not be included.
  • There are many RPGs currently in Early Access that may see their full release in 2026. We don’t try to predict when games will leave Early Access, so they will not be included until a hard date is announced.
  • Many games with unannounced dates currently in the 2025 list will inevitably end up on this one in the coming weeks.
