00:012026 is the year gaming gets really exciting.
00:05These 20 games are why we love this hobby so much.
00:08Some you've probably heard about.
00:10Others might be completely new discoveries, all of them?
00:13Potentially amazing.
00:15Let's explore what's coming and what makes each one special.
00:18Alright, so get this.
00:20A studio from China just released a trailer that got more votes than Sony's biggest games.
00:25Wild, right?
00:27Tides of Annihilation is what happens when you mix King Arthur Legends with modern-day London.
00:32You play as Gwendolyn, and you're the last person alive in a ruined London
00:36that's split between our world and a magical nightmare realm called Avalon.
00:40Your mission?
00:42Find the legendary Holy Grail, save your sister, and battle demon knights.
00:46But here's the coolest part.
00:48You don't fight alone.
00:49You summon ghost versions of the Knights of the Round Table, and each knight has special abilities.
00:54It's like collecting powerful warriors, each with their own unique powers.
00:59The combat is fast and action-packed like Devil May Cry, not slow and super difficult like Dark Souls.
01:05You get four different weapons to master, over 30 epic bosses to defeat,
01:10and these massive towering knights that you can actually climb on and explore before battling them.
01:15It's like Shadow of the Colossus meets legendary British history.
01:19The game's built in Unreal Engine 5, which means it looks absolutely stunning.
01:24It's coming in 2026, and everyone's talking about it.
01:27Will it live up to the hype?
01:29We'll have to wait and see.
01:31Okay, so the team behind Ghostrunner just said,
01:34What if we took everything we're good at and made it even more intense?
01:37That's Valor Mortis.
01:39You play as William, a British soldier who fought for Napoleon, and...
01:42Well, he died.
01:44But then Napoleon brings him back from the dead.
01:47Because apparently that's possible now.
01:49The problem?
01:50There's a plague that turned all your fellow soldiers into undead monsters,
01:53and now you have to fight through them while wondering how your life got this crazy.
01:58It's a first-person Souls-like game, which means it's really challenging.
02:02The playtest had over 515,000 player deaths.
02:06You've got a sword for slashing, a flintlock pistol for shooting,
02:09but ammo is super rare so use it wisely, and you can learn magical fire abilities.
02:15There's blocking, parrying, dodging...
02:17All the skills that'll test your reflexes.
02:19The game looks like it's set in the 1800s, but feels like a horror movie,
02:23with creepy abandoned buildings and monsters everywhere.
02:26It has Metroidvania-style levels, meaning you'll explore, backtrack,
02:30and find new paths as you get stronger.
02:33Coming in 2026!
02:35If you love challenging combat games with a spooky atmosphere, this could be amazing.
02:40Just be ready for a tough adventure.
02:42So, NetEase, the company that made Marvel Rivals, decided to create a single-player game.
02:47And instead of playing it safe, they went all-in with Ancient China.
02:51You play as a father and his son during the Tang Dynasty.
02:54And you need to deliver an important message to the capital city that's a thousand miles away.
02:59Sound simple?
03:00Nope!
03:01Everything wants to stop you.
03:03The game's inspired by God of War, and the combat looks intense and cinematic,
03:08with realistic sword fighting and sneaky stealth sections.
03:10They actually worked with real historians to scan actual locations along the ancient Silk Road,
03:16and recreate them in Unreal Engine 5.
03:19The environments look incredible.
03:21Deserts, ancient cities, crumbling fortresses, all of it.
03:25The story is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, which is really cool.
03:29This isn't about some chosen hero with magic powers,
03:32it's just a dad and his kid trying to survive while delivering an important message.
03:36Basically, the most dangerous postal service ever.
03:40It might launch in late 2026.
03:43And after Black Myth Wukong showed how amazing Chinese game studios can be,
03:47I'm really excited for Blood Message.
03:49It could be the next big action-adventure game.
03:53Team Ninja said,
03:54We've made two Nioh games, but what if we made it even bigger?
03:57Nioh 3 releases February 6th, 2026.
04:00This time you play as Tokugawa Takechio,
04:03who's about to become the Shogun until his evil brother shows up with an army of demons and ruins everything?
04:08Classic sibling rivalry.
04:10But with way more battles, here's the big change.
04:13You can now play as either a Samurai or a Ninja, and they're completely different.
04:18Samurai is the classic style with blocking, parrying, and technical combat.
04:22Ninja is way more mobile.
04:24You're dodging, jumping, creating magic clones,
04:27basically being a parkour master while using cool abilities.
04:30And you can switch between both styles whenever you want.
04:33The game's less linear now with bigger areas to explore,
04:36side quests, optional bosses.
04:38And you can even play with up to three friends online.
04:41The story involves time travel, which makes things extra interesting.
04:45The demo had some technical hiccups, but the team's working on fixing them.
04:48The graphics aren't mind-blowing.
04:50Team Ninja focuses on gameplay first, but that's what matters.
04:54If you loved the first two games, you'll probably love this one.
04:57Just be ready for a serious challenge.
05:00Tarsier Studios made Little Nightmares, which gave players serious chills.
05:06And now they said, let's make something even scarier.
05:09Re-Animal is their new horror game, and it's like Little Nightmares,
05:13but with co-op so you can be scared with a friend.
05:15You play as a brother and sister who are orphans,
05:18and you need to rescue your orphan friends from a nightmare island filled with monsters.
05:22Sounds terrifying, right?
05:24The game can be played alone or with online co-op.
05:27And here's the awesome part.
05:28It has a friend's pass like it takes two, meaning only one person needs to buy it,
05:33and your friend can play for free.
05:35Super generous.
05:37The whole game uses a shared camera that keeps both characters on screen at all times,
05:41which creates tons of tension.
05:43You'll solve puzzles, sneak past monsters, and probably jump out of your seat a lot.
05:48Tarsier is known for their creepy art style and disturbing creature designs,
05:52and Re-Animal looks absolutely spooky.
05:55There's a demo available right now if you want to try it.
05:58It's coming February 13th, 2026 for $40, which is a great price for a horror co-op experience.
06:05If you loved Little Nightmares or It Takes Two, this combines the best of both worlds.
06:10Okay, so Capcom looked at Raccoon City and said,
06:13You know what? We need to go back there again.
06:16Resident Evil 9 releases February 27th, and this time you play as two people.
06:21Grace, a scared FBI analyst who's new to fighting zombies,
06:24and Leon Kennedy, who's been through so many zombie adventures
06:28that he upgraded his knife to a hatchet.
06:30Here's something really interesting.
06:32These zombies aren't completely mindless.
06:34They remember parts of their old lives, so you might see one trying to clean or do their old job,
06:38just in a really strange way.
06:40Grace plays like classic survival horror, sneaking around carefully, conserving ammo, staying super cautious.
06:47Leon's gameplay is pure action.
06:50He takes everything from RE4 Remake and lets you block attacks with a hatchet,
06:55and use really cool combat moves.
06:57The game lets you switch between first-person and third-person views whenever you want,
07:01which is super neat.
07:03You're exploring the ruins of Raccoon City 30 years after the zombie outbreak,
07:08and it looks absolutely gorgeous with amazing graphics and ray tracing technology.
07:14There's even a special Hamilton watch collaboration and a custom Porsche for Leon.
07:19The standard edition costs $70, and the deluxe edition has extra costumes and weapon designs.
07:24It's coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and even Switch 2.
07:29If you're a Resident Evil fan, you probably already know you want this.
07:32The series has been amazing lately, and Requiem looks like it's going to continue that trend.
07:38Team Ninja took one of the most famous scary games ever made and said,
07:42Let's remake it with modern graphics.
07:45Fatal Frame 2.
07:46Remake launches March 12th, 2026, and the story is really unique.
07:51You play as twin sisters Mio and Mayu exploring a mysterious ghost village,
07:55and your only weapon is...
07:57A camera! Yep, a camera!
07:59You battle ghosts by taking pictures of them, which sounds unusual,
08:02until you realize how spooky it is when you have to get close to spirits and capture them through your viewfinder.
08:07The remake looks incredible.
08:10They rebuilt everything with better graphics, improved lighting, shadows, and atmospheric effects
08:15that create an amazing, scary atmosphere.
08:18There are new gameplay features like holding your sister's hand to recover health,
08:22but if she gets scared she might fall and you'll need to help her up.
08:25You can equip special charms for different bonuses, explore new areas, and there's even a brand new ending they added.
08:32The original game from 2003 is considered one of the scariest horror games ever made.
08:37Even famous game developers say it's extremely frightening.
08:40This remake keeps all that spooky atmosphere, but makes it look better than ever.
08:45It costs $40 to $50 depending on which edition you choose.
08:49If you like horror games and mysterious adventures, this is definitely worth checking out.
08:53Just maybe don't play it late at night with the lights off.
08:56Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Black Desert Online, spent years making a single-player fantasy action game,
09:03and it looks absolutely amazing.
09:05Crimson Desert launches March 19th for $70 and you play as Cliff, leader of a mercenary group called The Greymanes.
09:12Your team got ambushed and scattered, so your job is finding the survivors and rebuilding while dealing with a continent that's in total war.
09:19This is a full open-world adventure. Deserts, frozen tundras, forests, cities, you can explore everything.
09:27You can ride horses, encounter dragons, glide through the air, the whole adventure package.
09:31The combat looks absolutely incredible, like if you took The Witcher 3 and cranked up the action.
09:36It features combo-based fighting with swords, spears, bows, magic abilities, and you can combine everything together for super powerful attacks.
09:45The boss fights look massive, with mechanical dragons and huge monsters that provide epic challenges.
09:52There are side quests everywhere, puzzles to solve, different factions to interact with, and you can even go fishing and cooking,
09:58because sometimes it's nice to take a break from all the action.
10:01The game runs on Pearl Abyss's own engine, called Black Space, and it looks gorgeous on PS5 Pro.
10:08Pre-ordering gets you exclusive gear, including a PlayStation-only armor set.
10:13This could be the big fantasy RPG surprise of 2026.
10:17It's been in development for a long time, it's almost here, and honestly, it looks amazing!
10:23A Korean studio is making what looks like a blend of stealth action and dramatic storytelling, and it's really interesting.
10:30Mudung Two Hearts is a stealth action game set in Korea where a terrorist attack happens on an important peace day.
10:36You play as two characters, Ji Jung Tae, a special forces soldier, and Gavi, a K-pop idol who gets caught up in this whole situation.
10:45Yeah, that's the setup, a soldier and a pop star trying to survive and uncover a conspiracy.
10:50The gameplay switches between stealth and action.
10:53You can sneak around quietly avoiding detection, or use combat skills when necessary.
10:57It's all third-person view, very cinematic, with smooth transitions between cutscenes and gameplay.
11:03The developers are using motion capture from actual Korean special forces to make the movements look super realistic.
11:09There are no loading screens, everything flows together like a movie.
11:13The game's coming in 2026 but no exact date yet.
11:16And it'll be on PS5, Xbox, and PC for probably 60 to 70 dollars.
11:22We don't get many games like this anymore.
11:24That serious, story-driven military adventure but with a Korean perspective.
11:28If they nail the story and the stealth mechanics work well, this could be a real hidden gem.
11:33It's a completely unique experience.
11:35IO Interactive, the amazing team behind Hitman, are making a James Bond game.
11:42And they delayed it to make it even better.
11:44Originally March 27th, now it's May 27th, 2026.
11:49You play as a young 26-year-old Bond who's basically a rookie agent trying to earn his 00 status.
11:54And it's completely original, not based on any movies or books, just inspired by the Bond universe.
12:00Patrick Gibson plays Bond, Lenny Kravitz is the villain called the Pirate King, and the voice cast is incredible.
12:07The gameplay looks like Hitman mixed with Uncharted, third-person action with stealth, combat, gadgets, car chases, the whole spy adventure.
12:14You can choose how to handle missions.
12:16Sneak around quietly, use cool gadgets, or take the action route.
12:20The combat is really smooth.
12:22Bond can disarm enemies in creative ways and use advanced fighting techniques.
12:26There's an Omega Watch and Aston Martin Valhalla that work as special spy gadgets from Q.
12:31The game's built on IO's Glacier Engine, with new technology for volumetric smoke and lighting that looks stunning.
12:38They showed over 30 minutes of gameplay from missions in Slovakia and London, and it looks polished and cinematic.
12:45The Standard Edition is $70, but if you pre-order, you get upgraded to the Deluxe Edition for free with early access and exclusive outfits.
12:53Coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Switch 2, this is the first major Bond game in over 10 years.
13:02And if IO brings even half the creativity they had with Hitman, this could be something special.
13:08Don't Nod!
13:09The studio behind Life is Strange teamed up with the actual European Space Agency to make a realistic sci-fi game about astronauts stranded on a frozen alien planet.
13:18Aphelion is coming in 2026, and it gives serious space exploration adventure vibes.
13:24By the year 2060, Earth is in trouble.
13:27And humanity's last hope is a ninth planet called Persephone at the edge of the solar system.
13:33You play as two astronauts, Ariane and Thomas, whose ship crashes, separating them across this ice-covered world.
13:39Your goal is simple. Survive, find each other, and figure out what happened.
13:44You switch between both characters, and they play completely differently.
13:47Ariane gets the parkour action. Climbing, rappelling, grappling across dangerous terrain like she's doing extreme sports on an alien world.
13:55Thomas is more investigative and resourceful, dealing with different challenges and puzzles.
14:00The catch? There are hostile creatures on this planet, and you'll need to use stealth to avoid them because fighting isn't always an option.
14:08The game focuses on exploration and atmosphere, with that classic don't-nod storytelling, where the environment tells you as much as the dialogue.
14:16It's built in Unreal Engine 5 and looks absolutely gorgeous. All frozen landscapes and mysterious alien structures.
14:24They worked with actual space scientists to make it feel realistic, so expect legitimate space exploration vibes.
14:31Coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, probably $60 to $70.
14:36If you loved games like Deliver Us Mars or want something that takes space exploration seriously, Ophelion might be perfect for you.
14:43Remember when Capcom announced this mysterious sci-fi game back in 2020?
14:48Well, it's finally here!
14:50Premata launches April 24th, 2026, and after six years of development, it looks absolutely incredible.
14:58You play as Hugh Williams, a soldier who gets stranded on a lunar research station after a massive earthquake hits.
15:05He's injured and basically in trouble until he's found by Diana.
15:08A mysterious android girl made from advanced material called Luna Filament that can create anything if you have the right data.
15:15Here's the cool twist. You control both of them at the same time.
15:19Hugh handles the action with his special suit that has thrusters for movement, and he's your standard action hero.
15:25Diana can hack enemy robots to expose their weak spots, and she can also hack the station itself to open new paths and solve environmental puzzles.
15:33It's got that buddy team dynamic, but with way more sci-fi mystery.
15:38The game's set on the moon, looks atmospheric and interesting, and Capcom built it in the RE engine, so it runs super smooth.
15:45There's even a demo available on Steam right now if you want to try it.
15:48Standard Edition is $60, Deluxe is $70 with extra costumes and bonuses.
15:54It's Capcom's first original new game series in eight years, coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and even Switch 2.
16:02This could be Capcom's big sci-fi adventure. We'll find out in April.
16:07House Mark, the amazing team behind Returnal, looked at that game and said,
16:11What if we made it even more exciting?
16:13Saros releases April 30th, 2026, exclusively on PS5.
16:19And it's basically Returnal's spiritual successor with tons of improvements.
16:23You play as Arjun Devraj, voiced by Rahul Kohli from Midnight Mass.
16:28And he's a Sultari enforcer investigating a lost colony on the planet Carcosa that's stuck under this ominous eclipse.
16:35The story is about finding someone, uncovering conspiracies, and dealing with nightmarish monsters that look absolutely creepy.
16:43Combat is pure House Mark action.
16:45Third-person bullet dodging with intense movement mechanics.
16:48But here's the big difference from Returnal, you have a shield.
16:51The Sultari shield lets you block attacks and absorb energy from incoming projectiles.
16:56Then you can transform that energy and blast it back at enemies.
17:00It's aggressive, fast, rewards skillful play, and unlike Returnal, you keep permanent upgrades between runs.
17:07You can customize your loadout with over 30 weapons mixing human and alien technology.
17:12And there's a second chance feature that revives you on your first defeat.
17:16So you get another opportunity.
17:18The world changes every run with new paths and secrets.
17:21There's a hub area with NPCs including Jane Perry returning as a character.
17:26And the whole thing looks visually stunning with that House Mark polish.
17:30Standard Edition is $70, Deluxe is $80 with early access and armor sets inspired by other PlayStation games like Returnal, Ghost of Yotei, and God of War.
17:41If Returnal was too challenging for you, Saros might be more accessible while still being excitingly difficult.
17:46Neon Giant made The Ascent, that gorgeous cyberpunk game.
17:51And now they're back with a first-person shooter that looks like Cyberpunk 2077 meets Deus Ex.
17:58No laws coming in 2026.
18:00And you play as Grey Harker, an ex-military veteran who just wants to tend his plants and live peacefully in the cyber-noir city of Port Desire.
18:09Obviously, trouble comes knocking and you have to settle some scores?
18:12The game's an open-world immersive sim, which means you can approach missions however you want.
18:17Stealth, precision tactics, or action-focused gameplay.
18:21Your choices actually matter, affecting how the city and NPCs react to you.
18:26You can make big decisions that change how the story unfolds, which is really cool.
18:30Port Desire is this vertical city carved into seaside cliffs, full of neon lights, interesting characters, and corporate districts.
18:38You've got advanced military upgrades, sci-fi gadgets, parkour movement, and the action is supposed to be spectacular and exciting.
18:46The developers are a team of experienced folks from other major studios, so they know how to make shooters feel awesome.
18:52They're calling it a cyber-noir story with detective elements.
18:56Coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and PC for probably $60 to $70.
19:02If you've been waiting for a proper cyberpunk adventure game, this might be exactly what you're looking for.
19:08It's more focused and detailed than massive open-world games.
19:11Chinese Studio S-Game has been working on this for years, and it finally has a date.
19:17September 9th, 2026.
19:19Phantom Blade Zero is what happens when you mix Devil May Cry combat with Chinese martial arts movies and make it look absolutely gorgeous.
19:27You play as Sol, an elite warrior who gets framed for a crime he didn't commit, and now he's got 66 days to clear his name.
19:35The whole game is his journey to uncover the truth while being hunted by his former allies.
19:40The combat is the star here.
19:42Third-person action inspired by classic kung fu movies, with real martial arts techniques captured through motion capture.
19:48You've got over 30 weapons to use, including blades with ultimate abilities and special secondary weapons like lances, axes, and hammers.
19:56You can learn weapons from bosses after defeating them and master their signature moves.
20:01Combat has blocking, parrying, dodging.
20:03But some enemy attacks require special timing, forcing you to adapt and learn.
20:08There are even cinematic moments in boss fights where you counter-attacks in spectacular ways.
20:13The game's built in Unreal Engine 5 and looks stunning.
20:17They call the style kung fu punk, mixing traditional martial arts with machinery and modern aesthetics.
20:23It's got fantasy elements and shifting realities you explore.
20:26The story is 20 to 30 hours with another 20 hours of side content.
20:31Standard price, probably $70.
20:33PS5 console, exclusive for 12 months.
20:36Then PC.
20:37After black myth Wukong proved Chinese action games can be huge hits, Phantom Blade Zero is positioned to be the next big success.
20:45And honestly, the combat alone looks absolutely amazing.
20:49Insomniac Games, the masterminds behind Spider-Man, are making a Wolverine game.
20:55And it's coming fall 2026, exclusively on PS5.
20:59After years of waiting, we finally got an official gameplay trailer in September.
21:03And it looks absolutely amazing.
21:06You play as Logan, voiced by Liam McIntyre, and this isn't Spider-Man with claws.
21:11This is a more serious, action-packed adventure.
21:14The trailer showed Logan on a journey to uncover his mysterious past while using his adamantium claws in combat.
21:20The combat looks fast and exciting, built on Insomniac's signature fluid movement, but way more intense.
21:26You'll use Berserker Rage to build momentum and those claws to defeat anyone who stands in your way.
21:32The story takes Logan to multiple locations including Madripoor, the Canadian Wilderness, and Tokyo.
21:38All potential settings for epic action.
21:40Characters include Mystique, Omega Red, and the Reavers as enemy factions.
21:45More gameplay details are coming in Spring 2026, probably at a dedicated showcase.
21:50Built from the ground up for PS5 and PS5 Pro, it'll have ray tracing, 3D audio, and DualSense haptic feedback.
21:58So you feel every action. Standard price, probably $70.
22:02Industry insiders think it'll launch September or October.
22:05After that Spider-Man success, expectations are sky-high for Insomniac to nail Logan's darker, more serious style of heroism.
22:14And honestly, if anyone can do Wolverine justice, it's this studio.
22:19Note, this game is rated for mature audiences.
22:23One of the biggest game releases is coming November 19th, 2026.
22:28Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed a couple times, but Rockstar says this is the final date.
22:33The game returns to Vice City, which is based on Miami, with an absolutely massive map to explore.
22:39For the first time in the mainline series, you control two protagonists, Jason and Lucia.
22:45The game features everything that made GTA 5 popular but improved.
22:48Better graphics, more detailed world, smarter AI, and amazing physics.
22:52Rockstar is using their rage engine pushed to the absolute limit, and based on the trailers, it looks photorealistic.
22:58Standard Edition is $70 on PS5 and Xbox Series XS.
23:03No PC version at launch, probably coming 2027.
23:06Take-Two's CEO keeps saying they need extra time to deliver incredible quality.
23:10When this releases, it'll break entertainment records.
23:13Every other publisher is moving their release dates to avoid competing with it.
23:17This is one of the most anticipated games ever.
23:20And if it actually releases on time, November 2026 will be huge in the gaming world.
23:26Important note, Grand Theft.
23:29Auto games are rated M for mature and are designed for adult audiences only.
23:33Capcom is bringing back Onimusha after 18 years.
23:37And Way of the Sword is coming in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
23:43This franchise was really popular in the early 2000s with its samurai action-adventure style.
23:48You play as Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary swordsman.
23:53Set in historical Kyoto mixed with supernatural elements, you wield the Oni Gauntlet,
23:58a mystical artifact that gives you special powers against demon enemies.
24:02Combat focuses on the Issen system, a timed counterattack that lets you defeat enemies with skillful strikes.
24:08Think samurai action but faster and more arcade style, not impossibly difficult.
24:13The developers confirmed they're not making a super-hard game.
24:17This is classic Onimusha action with modern improvements.
24:20You'll explore ancient Kyoto transformed into a fantasy world, engage in sword battles,
