Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the video game industry for over three decades. The genre consistently delivers exciting new titles each month, ranging from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized games such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The pipeline of new RPGs remains robust.
The ambitious scope of AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years before release, generating significant anticipation. This pre-release hype can be difficult to manage, occasionally resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game fulfills its promise, the result is truly remarkable. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
