For over three decades, role-playing games have been a cornerstone of the video game landscape. Each month brings a fresh wave of notable RPGs, ranging from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to more specialized titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The RPG genre consistently delivers exciting new experiences.

The ambitious scope of AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years ahead of release, generating considerable anticipation. This pre-release hype can be difficult to manage, sometimes resulting in unmet expectations. However, a game that successfully lives up to its promise is truly rewarding. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
