Role-playing games remain a cornerstone of the video game landscape, boasting a rich history spanning over three decades. Each month brings a fresh wave of RPG titles, ranging from highly anticipated AAA releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, 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 genre consistently delivers exciting new experiences.

The ambitious nature of many AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years in advance, generating considerable excitement and, at times, immense pressure. This pre-release hype can be both a blessing and a curse, occasionally resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully lives up to its promise, the payoff is truly rewarding. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
