Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the gaming industry for over three decades. The genre consistently delivers numerous noteworthy 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 offerings 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 nature of AAA RPGs often leads to announcements years before release, generating significant anticipation. This pre-release hype can be difficult to manage, sometimes resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully delivers on its promise, the experience is truly rewarding. Which upcoming RPGs are generating the most excitement?
