Role-playing games (RPGs) have remained foundational to gaming for over thirty years. Every month introduces notable new entries—from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to smaller yet compelling titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The genre continuously evolves with exciting RPGs on the way.
Given their scale, major RPG projects often receive early announcements—sometimes years ahead—which can amplify anticipation significantly. While this leads to sky-high expectations (occasionally resulting in letdowns), successful releases prove truly remarkable. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
Updated December 24, 2024 by Mark Sammut: This article now includes two more anticipated RPGs. One targets a March 2025 launch, while the other awaits confirmation on its release year.
