Upcoming Video Game Release Dates for 2026: The Big Highlights

Sure thing, here’s the rewrite:

So yeah, Rockstar threw everyone a curveball with the whole GTA 6 delay. Now we’re looking at 2026 instead of 2025. You can almost hear a collective sigh of relief from other game publishers. Like, seriously, if you had anything planned for late 2025, you’re probably thanking your lucky stars right now. But fast forward to 2026 — it’s already looking jam-packed with game releases. Who needs GTA 6, right?

Now, don’t get me wrong. Sequels are great and all, but there’s some fresh stuff coming up too. Picture this: a role-playing game called SacriFire. No idea why the name sticks with me, but there it is. And then there’s Warren Spector, the legend, coming in hot with Thick As Thieves. It’s a stealth-action PvPvE game, whatever that means — sounds intense. Oh, and dig this: Moonlight Peaks. Think Animal Crossing, but with vampires. Sounds like a fever dream? Maybe.

Anyway, game dates are like trying to catch a cat in a thunderstorm — always changing. So, Polygon’s got this guide, keeps updating all the time with what’s new, shuffled around, or mysteriously vanished into the ether. 2026 is gonna be wild, I can feel it.

Stay tuned, or don’t. Your call.
