2026 is almost here and with the new year comes a new year of games that will be released. Since I love games, I am going to share my most anticipated games for 2026.
Resident Evil Requiem
Ever since I got my first Playstation in the 90s, Resident Evil has been one of my favorite franchises. From the cheesy lines of the early games to absolutely insanely scary game that 7 was, I was a fan of it all. Yes they had some missteps along the way, like Resident Evil 6, but they have more than made up for that with 7 and Village.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Yes, this game has been out for years on PC and Playstation, but it coming to Xbox and as a Play Anywhere title, has me very excited. Yes I am addicted to Achievements, but at the same time, I prefer my Xbox controller for gaming.
High on Life 2
Squanch Games really outdid themselves with the first one. I loved the humor in it and I love Rick and Morty, so High on Life 2 is on my list of games to check out next year.
007 First Light
I am not a big Bond fan, honestly I have never watched a James Bond film all the way through, but there is something about this game that has me excited. I am not that great with stealth, but there is something about the game that has me wanting to check it out.
Pragmata
This game looks absolutely incredible, the combat looks great, and the story seems like it’s going to be very interesting. I cannot wait to check it out.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
I have played all of the Lego Batman as well as the Arkham games and to combine the two along with Nolan’s trilogy just seems like a mashup that is either going to work great together or be absolutely insane, but either way it should be a lot of fun.
Fable
This is such a great series. It never lived up the what Peter Molyneux described, but they were still fun games in their own right. This new entry looks like it’s going to be bigger than anything that came before it.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra
Captain America and Black Panther teaming up to stop Hydra? That sounds amazing! Plus I love most super hero games, so this is definitely a game I will be playing.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Another Marvel game, this time by Insomniac. The Spider-Man games that they did were a lot of fun and seeing the gameplay for Wolverine has me wanting to hack and slash through the world taking out anything that gets in my way.
Grand Theft Auto 6
Of course GTA6 is on the list, I think it is on most people’s list of games to play. I am not sure if it will actually be out in 2026, but if it is, I will definitely be there to kill, steal, and do yoga.
These are just some of the games I am excited for, there are plenty more that I have probably forgot about or that haven’t even been announced yet. Next month Xbox will be holding a Developer Direct so we might get release dates for Fable and other games, maybe even a shadow drop or two. I can’t wait to see what else 2026 has in store for gaming,
