The Game Awards 2025, we got a look at over 30 upcoming titles coming to Xbox, PC, and other platforms — some could even be excellent for gaming handhelds like Steam Deck and Xbox Ally X.
I've listed them below, along with any known release dates and platforms. Some are already available for preorder and wishlisting, but others might take a while to release.
7. Solasta II
- Coming to Early Access for PC (Steam) on March 12, 2026.
It's been a few years since Baldur's Gate 3 thoroughly drew my attention away from any other game out there, and since then, I've felt the pull for more turn-based RPGs of a similar vein.
Larian Studios aren't developing Solasta II, but it is a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired CRPG that utilizes the SRD 5.2 ruleset (where BG3 used SRD 5.1).
From what I've been able to see in trailers, this game's general art style, choice-driven gameplay, various classes, exotic locales, and dangerous monsters look like they can potentially scratch that BG3/CRGP itch for me.
Thankfully, I don't have much longer to wait since this strategy RPG is coming to Steam Early Access in a few months.
6. Bradley the Badger
- Coming to PC (Steam) sometime in 2026.
Every once in a while, a game I didn't know I needed thrusts itself in my face, and that's exactly the case with Bradley the Badger.
Decked out in Marty McFly's puffer vest and a vigilante's yellow fingerless gloves, the titular hero finds himself moving between several unfinished games inspired by well-known titles, such as CyberBadger (CyberPunk). Thing is, he has the ability to manipulate certain aspects as he platforms around and explores while trying to find his way home.
Best of all, it seems to serve as a humorous satire for the game industry, specifically with games stuck in development hell. I'm always up for a sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek adventure, and the fact that Bradley is such a cute critter makes this game that much more appealing.
5. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
- Coming to PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2026.
I played the original 1996 Tomb Raider game as a kid and was sucked into the thrilling Indiana Jones-like adventure on my beige PC. Now, that same story is being revisited and reimagined in this new game that should offer some surprises and different aspects from the original. It's not just a remake, after all, it's a retelling.
As such, it offers far better graphics and modern mechanics while exploring the jungles, oceans, and other gorgeous landscapes we've come to expect with Lara Croft. And don't worry, a T-Rex is in it, too, of course.
It's worth noting that a brand new Lara Croft game entitled Tomb Raider: Catalyst is also launching sometime in 2027, but since it's further out, I'm setting my sights on Legacy of Atlantis first.
4. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic
- No exact release date, yet. Rumored to release in 2030 (thanks, Bloomberg).
I really shouldn't get my hopes up too high for this one, considering it's in early development and isn't expected to release for a few years yet.
However, it's a little harder to keep my excitement in check knowing that Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and Mass Effect trilogy veteran, Casey Hudson, is directing this upcoming game.
To be clear, all we saw at The Game Awards 2025 was a Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic teaser trailer, not gameplay footage. So it's unclear what this game's final mechanics, gameplay, and art style will really look like. Still, I've been waiting to revisit Star Wars' Old Republic for a long time now, and I'm excited that this game is on the horizon.
3. Control Resonant
- Coming to PC (Steam) sometime in 2026.
I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I picked up the controller and played Remedy Entertainment's Control back in 2019. However, its unique story, nightmarish enemies, unique visuals, and engaging combat helped make it one of the few games that have really stuck with me over the years.
Now, the sequel, Control Resonant, continues the story set in motion by the original Control and Alan Wake II's DLC, only this time in the shoes of Jesse's brother, Dylan Faden.
I'll be honest, I'm still not entirely sure where this game will take me, but I haven't been disappointed by Remedy Entertainment yet, so I'm excited to check it out.
2. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
- Coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on May 29, 2026.
Whenever I'm not sure what game to play, my inclination is to dive back into one of the Batman Arkham games. This series was pivotal to defining my gaming tastes back in the day, and it's hard to resist the charming duo of (no, not Batman and Robin) the late Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.
Batman Arkaham games are serious and can get incredibly dark (I'm looking at you, Professor Pyg), so seeing many of these iconic game moments recreated in a lighthearted and silly LEGO manner makes it so I can't help but quirk up the corners of my mouth in a smile.
What's more, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight pays tribute to Batman lore and culture from the movies, comics, and much more. So, there are bound to be references Batman fans will enjoy.
1. Divinity
- No release date or platforms have been confirmed yet. It's possible it might not launch until 2030 or later.
I started off this list mentioning Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian Studios, and that's also how I'm ending it. Like many of you, I've been eagerly awaiting Larian Studios' next big title, and I couldn't have been more intrigued than with the reveal trailer for Divinity.
And what we got was intense.
What started as a pastoral festival scene quickly plummeted into horror and madness as a chained individual not only was set aflame, but had some sort of demonic creature burst out of his body followed by a flood of unsettling matter.
Divinity is in early development and not expected to release until 2030 or later, so we don't really know much about what gameplay will actually look like. Still, I'll be absolutely shocked if it doesn't offer player choices, turn-based combat, an interesting story, and that special polish we've come to expect from the Belgian developer.
