5 UPCOMING GAMES THAT WILL DOMINATE 2026
Alright, gamers—here’s a look at the five biggest games dropping in 2026. You don’t want to miss these.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Let’s start with number five. Insomniac Games finally showed off the first official teaser for Marvel’s Wolverine, their next big PS5 exclusive. It’s brutal, it’s raw, and it’s the Wolverine game fans have always wanted. Instead of just another superhero romp, this one digs deep into Logan’s story—his rage, his pain, and all the complicated stuff that makes him who he is. The game throws you right into the middle of it, sending you from the gritty streets of Madripoor to the chaos of Tokyo, then out into the frozen wilds of Canada. Along the way, you’ll run into both friends and some nasty enemies, like Rivers, Mystic, and the unstoppable Omega Red. Gameplay-wise, it’s all about fast, fluid, and savage combat. You’ll really feel the weight of those adamantium claws, slicing through enemies with style. Marvel’s Wolverine lands exclusively on PlayStation 5 in the second half of 2026.

Gears of War: Emergence Day
Number four.
The wait’s over—Emergence Day is coming. Xbox Game Studios just confirmed that Gears of War is back in 2026, with The Coalition at the helm and Unreal Engine 5 powering everything behind the scenes. Gears of War: Emergence Day isn’t a remake or a remaster—it’s a full prequel set 14 years before the original game. The story takes you right into the chaos of Emergence Day, the moment when humanity nearly got wiped out for good. You’ll jump back in as Marcus Fenix, with Dom by your side, reliving the brutal events that kicked off the war against the Locust Horde. The campaign promises all the classic Gears action, plus new mechanics and features that shake things up. They haven’t shown gameplay yet, but it’s slated for a big reveal at the Xbox event in January. Expect Gears of War: Emergence Day on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Game Pass right on launch day in 2026.
Resident Evil Requiem

Here comes the survival horror game everyone’s going to be talking about in 2026. Capcom is back with a new entry in their legendary series, and this time, you get to step into the shoes of not just one, but two main characters. Resident Evil Requiem drags us back to Raccoon City—thirty years after a missile wiped it off the map. At first, Capcom teased us with just Grace Ashcroff, an FBI analyst heading into the ruins. But then they dropped a trailer and, boom, Leon S. Kennedy is back too.
The game splits into two parts. With Grace, you’ll dig into a crime scene at the Greenwood Hotel. It’s personal—her mother was murdered there years ago. This section is pure horror, heavy on the atmosphere. Switch over to Leon and things pick up speed. Think action-packed chaos like Resident Evil 4. And for the first time, you can swap between first- and third-person views whenever you want. It’s a whole new way to get up close with the terror or step back for the action.
Capcom says this is the most realistic and disturbing Resident Evil yet. You’ll get to play it on February 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Get ready—this one’s going to be wild.
Crimson Desert
www.youtube.com Number two.Alright, let’s switch gears—from survival horror to an RPG that’s set to steal the spotlight in the first half of the year. That wild, gritty action you’re watching? It’s Crimson Desert, a third-person RPG set in Pwel, a massive world torn apart by war and people hungry for power. You step into the boots of Cliff, leader of the Gray-Manes, out to find a new home and bring peace to a continent that desperately needs it.
And when it comes to exploring, Crimson Desert doesn’t hold back. Go on foot, hop on a horse, ride a dragon or even a robot, jump through portals, or soar across the sky—your choice. The latest gameplay reveals dropped a ton of new mechanics and clever abilities for Cliff, and honestly, the combat looks way more ambitious than anyone expected. You get so many ways to take down enemies, you could watch clips all day and still not see it all.
Big boss fights? Absolutely. The game throws you into epic clashes with monsters that fill the screen. But it’s not just about fighting—there are side quests, minigames, and all sorts of surprises spread throughout the world. Crimson Desert really brings the whole package: gorgeous graphics, a huge world to lose yourself in, deep gameplay, a progression system that keeps things interesting, and some seriously stunning art. It’s honestly jaw-dropping.
Mark your calendar—Crimson Desert drops March 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Grand Theft Auto VI**
Here it is — the big one. After 34 wild releases, Rockstar is about to drop the game that could break every launch record out there. Grand Theft Auto 6 takes us back to the wild, neon-lit chaos of Vice City. This time, we follow Lucia Caminos and Jason Dubal. They’re partners, and not just in crime. They want a fresh start, no matter what it takes — or who gets in the way. But after a robbery goes sideways, everything unravels. Suddenly, they’re tangled up in a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the entire state of Leonida.
Rockstar’s keeping most of the gameplay under wraps for now, but the second trailer? It already shows off some jaw-dropping visuals. You can see how far the Rage engine has come — the world looks alive, and the characters feel real. Still, there’s some bad news. GTA 6 just got pushed back again. Instead of landing on May 26th, it’s now set for November 19th, 2026. It’ll hit consoles first, with the PC version rolling out later.
