When Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026, it likely came as a big relief to publishers with anything on their slate for the back half of 2025. But 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting and crowded year of big game releases, even without GTA 6, which is now slated for a November launch.
In addition to Rockstar’s ambitious new crime epic, we can expect Playground Games’ new Fable (finally!), Bungie's Marathon (finally?), a Halo: Combat Evolved remake, three heavy hitters from Capcom (Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword), Housemarque’s Returnal follow-up Saros, FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods, and two long-awaited new franchise entries from Nintendo: Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Marvel will also have a big year, with a new fighting game, a new WWII game starring Captain America and Black Panther, and the long-awaited arrival of Insomniac Games' Wolverine.
Beyond sequels, there are plenty of promising original games on the horizon, like role-playing game SacriFire, Warren Spector’s stealth-action PvPvE game Thick As Thieves, and Animal Crossing-but-make-it-vampires indie Moonlight Peaks. We're even getting new gaming hardware, in the form of Valve's 2026 Steam Machines and new Steam Controllers. And we'll be feasting on frog games.
Game release dates are always in flux, though, so Polygon’s guide to the new video games coming out in 2026 will be regularly updated with new titles, release dates, and (inevitable) delays.
