00:00If you're into action RPGs, 2026 is looking pretty stacked. A lot of new games are on the way, with everything from big open worlds to smaller, more focused experiences.
00:08In this video, I'm going through 25 upcoming action RPGs coming in 2026, talking about what each one is and why it might be worth your time. Let's get into it.
00:17Control Resonant is Remedy Entertainment's bold sequel to their 2019 hit, shifting the spotlight from Jessie Faden to her troubled younger brother Dylan, seven years after the events of the first game.
00:33Set in a paranormally warped Manhattan rather than the oldest house, the story unfolds as the hiss escapes containment, twisting skyscrapers and streets into surreal battlegrounds.
00:43Dylan, armed with new abilities and a shapeshifting melee weapon called the Aberrant, must confront cosmic threats while searching for his sister, who may have gone rogue.
00:53Unlike its predecessor's shooter focus, Resonant leans into action RPG systems, offering open-ended exploration, moral choices and deeper progression.
01:03Remedy promises a cinematic expansion of its connected universe, co-produced with Annapurna Pictures, aiming for release in 2026 across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S and Mac.
01:16And yes, Manhattan may be collapsing under supernatural forces, but at least the rent finally matches the vibe.
01:21Onimusha, Way of the Sword is Capcom's long-awaited revival of the legendary Samurai series, arriving in 2026 as the first new mainline entry since 2006's Dawn of Dreams.
01:40Directed by Satoru Nihei and powered by the RE Engine, the game follows Miyamoto Musashi, modeled after actor Toshiro Mifune, through a dark fantasy version of Kyoto during the Edo period where rival swordsmen, demons and supernatural horrors collide.
