Role-playing games remain a cornerstone of the video game industry, boasting a rich history spanning over three decades. Each month brings a wave of new RPGs, 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 genre's future is constantly brimming with anticipation.

The ambitious scope of AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years ahead of release, fueling immense excitement and, sometimes, equally high expectations. This pre-release hype can be difficult to manage, occasionally leading to disappointment. Yet, when a game fulfills its promise, the result is truly spectacular. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
