It's fair to say that 2025 was an incredible year for gamers. No matter the genre you prefer, there was something for everyone and a whole host of surprises. As we move into 2026, we already have the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 on the docket, but don't let its shadow distract you from the rest of the year's lineup.
Our calendar currently looks a little sparse towards the end, but don't worry. We will be regularly updating it throughout the year with the latest news on newly announced games, delays, reviews, and releases. We're also including tabletop releases such as upcoming Magic: the Gathering sets for the first time. So set your bookmarks and remember to check back regularly for the latest game release updates.
Updated February 18, 2026: We've updated this article with the latest dates, including those revealed during the recent Nintendo Direct and PlayStation State of Play showcases.
With tables growing ever larger as more games are announced, we've implemented a drop-down system so you don't have to endlessly scroll to get to later months. Simply click on 'Read More' to see the full table.

Just the three games announced for August so far, but they sure are noteworthy. Beast of Reincarnation will get a lot of attention from people curious to see what Game Freak can do outside the confines of the Pokemon franchise, while Arc System Works brings its considerable fighting game expertise to the comic-book scene in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. And then there's the small matter of the second volume in Konami's Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, which includes Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker.
