Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the video game industry for over three decades. The genre consistently delivers a steady stream of notable releases each month, ranging from major titles like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized offerings such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The pipeline of new RPGs remains robust.

The ambitious nature of AAA RPGs often leads to announcements years ahead of release, generating substantial anticipation. This pre-release hype, once ignited, can be difficult to manage, occasionally resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully fulfills its promise, the outcome is truly rewarding. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
