On the flipside when playing as new protagonist Grace Ashcroft the gameplay will shift to focus on tighter survival horror and evading enemies.

If you are a fan of open-world games like Elden Ring or just souls-likes in general, you’ll want to check this one out.
Crimson Desert
On paper, Crimson Desert sounds like a made up game, too good to be true. It promises deep action combat, large scale battles, cinematic story telling, dynamic traversal options including a spiderman-like rope swinging mechanic, climbing and parkour like assassins Creed, sky islands to explore like Tears of the Kingdom, and much more wrapped up into a single player only experience. While it may read like a wish list of features from highly regarded games, previews for the game have consistently affirmed that Crimson Desert is indeed walking the walk as good as it talks the talk. If everything comes together cohesively in the final product, Crimson desert will be one of the most impressive games coming in 2026.
The Blood of the Dawnwalker
Dark fantasy fans have something epic to look forward to with Blood of the Dawkwalker. This will be the debut game from a new studio founded by ex-CD project Red developers who worked on hits like The Witcher 3 and CyberPunk 2077. In this narrative driven RPG you will engage in a unique system where decisions matter. The game features a calendar system, whereby how you approach different quests will move the calendar forward, which is notable because there is a “time limit” of 30 days for the main quest, where the main character is trying to rescue his family.
