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 releases, ranging from highly anticipated AAA titles like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, 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 RPG landscape is constantly evolving, with a steady stream of new titles on the horizon.

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