Role-playing games (RPGs) remain a cornerstone of the gaming industry, boasting a rich history spanning over three decades. Each month brings a fresh wave of notable RPG titles, ranging from highly anticipated AAA releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized games such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The RPG landscape is constantly evolving, with a steady stream of new adventures on the horizon.

The ambitious nature of many AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years ahead of release, generating significant anticipation. This pre-release hype can be both a blessing and a curse, sometimes resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully lives up to its promise, the result is truly exceptional. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most excitement?
