In the remake of the third part of the famous Japanese series Yakuza, players will go to Okinawa. They will have to play as the former Yakuza, Kiryu Kazuma.

Resident Evil Requiem — February 27

The ninth part of the main Resident Evil series will return players to Raccoon City — 30 years after its destruction.

The game will have two main characters: FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and the older Leon S. Kennedy. Grace's story is an investigation into a series of mysterious murders at the Renwood Hotel, where her mother Elissa, the heroine of Resident Evil Outbreak, died. Meanwhile, Leon is hunting for former Umbrella Corporation scientist Victor Gideon, who is developing a new virus.

The new Resident Evil alternates protagonists: as Grace, players will immerse themselves in a dark stealth horror, as Leon — battles with monsters. At the same time, you can freely choose the perspective: play from the first or third person, regardless of the character.

Crimson Desert — March 20

A game from the creators of the famous MMORPG Black Desert — the South Korean studio Pearl Abyss. The project will tell about a character named Cliff. His clan was attacked and the protagonist was the only survivor. After that, Cliff goes on a journey to revive the clan and avenge the offenders.

Events unfold in Paivel: in a beautiful and cruel world of warring factions, mythical creatures, ancient mystical forces, and a bit of science fiction. All within the Black Desert universe, but without online functions — this is a strictly single-player adventure

The gameplay is based on fast and brutal battles, exploring a huge open world, and role-playing elements. Crimson Desert is inspired by franchises such as The Witcher, The Legend of Zelda, and Assassin's Creed.

Gothic 1 Remake — First Quarter of 2026

A remake of the cult role-playing game from 2001 by Alkimia Interactive studio. This is a deep reworking of the original, which preserves its soul.

Events unfold in the Mine Valley — a magical prison where you control the Nameless Hero and must survive among three warring camps, fulfilling a secret mission of the king.

The main changes affected the gameplay. The combat system is still the same — it's a dynamic tactical action with an emphasis on creating combinations of strikes. Only now the main character also has dodges and parries in his arsenal.

Progression and plot depend on the choice of faction. The world of the game remains harsh and alive — each NPC has a strict daily routine and tasks. The secrets of this world will have to be revealed not through markers on the map, but through dialogues, observations, and your own experience.

Forza Horizon 6 — May 19

A new chapter in the cult racing series from Playground Games studio. The Horizon Festival moves to Japan, turning the country into a giant playground. This time, the player is not a superstar, but a newcomer who starts with qualification.

Tokyo will become the largest city in the history of the franchise, and the player will have a journal to record the discoveries made — both in the metropolis and beyond.

A novelty in the series is a personal base where friends can come. There will also be more places in the world for friendly races and three special zones for communicating with other players.

A new game from IO Interactive, the authors of the Hitman series, based on the famous spy franchise.

The gameplay is a mix of spy action with shootouts and chases in the spirit of Bond films or the Uncharted series. The influence of Hitman is also noticeable: there are many huge and multi-layered sandbox locations where stealth, disguise, observation and improvisation are necessary.

Grand Theft Auto VI — November 19

The sixth part of "Grand Theft Auto" sends players to modern Vice City, the state of Leonida — an analogue of real Miami. Locations include beaches, cities, swamps and rural areas.

The main characters are a couple in love: Lucia and Jason. They are trying to earn money and find themselves involved in the criminal underworld of Vice City. However, their main goal is to stay together, survive and achieve a better life.

The gameplay is an evolution of the Rockstar formula: a living world that reacts to actions, deep customization and large-scale cinematic missions. The graphics are impressive with incredible detail: from the play of light and shadow on objects to the behavior of liquids in beer bottles. And this is only what we were shown in the trailers!

The online mode is being developed in parallel with the story campaign, but, according to rumors, it will be released later than the main release. Also, there is unconfirmed information that the game's budget is more than $2 billion, which makes GTA VI the most expensive game in history.

Fable — Autumn 2026

Reboot of the cult series of fairy-tale-satirical RPGs, developed by Playground Games.

This is a modern vision of the original trilogy formula: a fairy tale for adults with black humor, moral choice and magic. The action takes place in the mythical Albion of the Enlightenment era — a world that balances between the magic of old legends and the industrial age.

The gameplay combines the signature features of Fable and introduces new ones: a moral system that affects the attitude towards the hero and the world; eccentric characters and unique NPCs, with whom you can even create a family; a flexible combat system where skills and weapons are smoothly combined in any combinations. And all this on the ForzaTech engine and increased scale.

The game features a living world with changing weather and time of day, where you can influence the environment with your actions. Both in the main and side quests. Players will be allowed to decide the fate of other characters: evict them from their homes, take away their business, make them fall in love with you — for this, a separate tag system was created, which is formed during the passage.

Control Resonant — No release date

A direct sequel to Control from Remedy Entertainment. The game will once again immerse us in a mysterious world with anomalous phenomena.

This time, the events unfold not only in the endlessly changing corridors of the Federal Bureau of Control, but also beyond. The player will have to deal with a global threat that arose after the events of the first part and its addition.

The gameplay will be transformed — now it's a slasher with elements of metroidvania, where you can use both extrasensory abilities and unusual melee weapons. The protagonist's skills and paranormal abilities will be different, because we will play as the brother of the main character of the original Control.

Gears of War: E-Day — No release date

A prequel to the franchise, returning to the tragic moment of the universe: the first day of the invasion of the alien Locust race on the planet Sera. The game will tell how an ordinary day of human civilization turned into an apocalypse.

In the center are young and not yet so legendary Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. We will see not hardened veterans, but ordinary soldiers who were caught off guard by a global catastrophe.

In terms of gameplay, the game will remain a shooter with shooting from cover, active reloads and a meat grinder in close combat. But elements of horror and a sense of helplessness will be added. Instead of a well-equipped squad ready for anything, the protagonists improvise and panic in the first hours of the war.

Lords of the Fallen 2 — без даты выхода

The sequel to Lords of the Fallen from 2023 by Hexworks studio. The game will return us to a dark world full of monsters and terrifying landscapes.

At its core is the soulslike formula: managing stamina and consumables, battles with strong monsters and bosses, exploring a complex world with altars for saving.

The game's uniqueness lies in the ability to switch between two dimensions: Axiom (the world of the living) and Umbra (the world of the dead). The locations complement each other and help to pass the tests. If the protagonist dies in Axiom, he will appear in Umbra, getting a second chance.

The developers listen to the players, and the second part will become stylistically more attractive. So far, this is all that is known about the sequel, but it has not become less anticipated.

There will also be puzzles, exploration of castles and enclosed locations, and bosses with stunning designs.

The Blood of Dawnwalker — no release date

A third-person action RPG in a dark fantasy setting from Polish studio Rebel Wolves — made up of former CD Projekt RED developers. Players will venture into the Sangos Valley — a fictional 14th-century kingdom in the Carpathian Mountains. Wars and plague have devastated it, and local feudal lords have been overthrown by vampires, who have enslaved the people and forced them to worship them as deities.

The main character is a young man named Cohen. He must save his family, and he only has 30 days. His blood is unique: it contains too much silver, so he cannot fully transform into a vampire. During the day, Cohen is human; at night, his vampire traits manifest.

The gameplay is built on two mechanics: time and essence. The hero has a limited number of days to complete the game. His powers depend on the time of day, as do his opponents. During the day, Cohen is weak and fights ordinary people. At night, he is many times more powerful, but his enemies become strong creatures.
