Get ready gamers because you are about to find out the 5 most important video games of 2026.

Marvel’s Wolverine

• After a long wait, Insomniac Games finally dazzled us recently with the first official teaser for its next big PlayStation 5 exclusive. This is how brutal Marvel's Wolverine is, an upcoming third-person action-adventure game that seeks to explore Logan's life like never before. With an original story full of anger, pain, and the nuances of this iconic character, the game takes him on a quest to uncover a dark past that continues to elude him. This will lead you to the exotic streets of Madripoor, the dangerous avenues of Tokyo, and the frigid wilderness of Canada, where you will face both allies and deadly enemies, including the Rivers, Mystic, and the brutal Omega Red. In terms of gameplay, Marvel's Wolverine focuses on speed, fluidity, and the brutality of combat. With Logan, you can unleash his full fury with his adamantium claws, executing swift and devastating attacks like the ones you're seeing right now. Marvel's Wolverine will arrive in the second half of 2026 exclusively on PlayStation 5.

Gears of War: Emergence Day

Number four.

• Emergence Day has arrived. Xbox Game Studios confirmed that Years of War will return in 2026 with a new installment developed by The Coalition using The Real Engine 5. I present to you Years of War: Emergence Day, a prequel to the third-person shooter set 14 years before the events of the original game. The story unfolds precisely on Emergence Day, the moment when a ruthless enemy led humanity to its final steps toward extinction. It's not a remake or a remaster. Years of War: Emergence Day is a new game in which you'll once again take on the role of Marcus Fenix, accompanied by Dom. Two iconic characters through whose eyes you'll experience the violent events that shaped the conflict against the Locust Horde. Years of War: Emergence Day will offer an intense, action-packed campaign that maintains the classic gameplay of the series with new mechanics and features that will completely change the experience. There's no gameplay footage yet, but it's expected to be fully revealed at the Xbox event in January. Years of War: Eday will launch in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and as a day-one release on Game Pass.

Resident Evil Requiem

Number three.

• We've arrived at the survival horror game that will steal the show in 2026. This is a new game in an iconic Capcom series, played from the perspective of two protagonists. That's how chilling Resident Evil Requiem is, a new survival horror game that takes us back to Raccoon City 30 years after it was devastated by a missile attack. Initially, it was presented with only one protagonist, Grace Ashcroff, an FBI intelligence analyst sent to the devastated city. However, Capcom later officially confirmed the return of Leon S. Kennedy in this installment with a trailer that literally blew our minds. Resident Evil Requiem will be divided into two different sections. The first part will focus on Grace, with whom we must investigate a crime scene at the Greenwood Hotel, the same place where her mother was murdered years before. This part will have a strong emphasis on immersive horror. Meanwhile, with Leon, the game will take a leap into intense action, just like we enjoyed in Resident Evil 4. In addition, for the first time you'll be able to switch between first- and third-person views, allowing you to experience the terror and action from two distinct perspectives. Capcom assures us that this is the most immersive, realistic, and disturbing game in the entire series. Resident Evil Reem will arrive on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Crimson Desert

Number two.

• We move from the most anticipated survival horror game to the RPG that will completely dominate the first half of the year. The brutal gameplay you're seeing belongs to Crimson Desert, a new third-person action RPG set in Pwel, an immense open world divided into different regions, all devastated by wars and the thirst for power. Here you play as Cliff, the leader of the Gray-Manes, whose goal is to find a new home and fight to restore peace to this vast continent. In Crimson Desert, there will be many ways to explore the world. You can do it on foot, on horseback, riding dragons, robots, using portals, or even flying to great heights. The latest images of the game revealed a myriad of new game mechanics and cool abilities that we can use with Cliff. Its combat system is much more ambitious than we thought, offering so many ways to crush enemies that the video would never end. Furthermore, it will feature a huge number of epic battles against colossal bosses, just like the one you're seeing right now. In addition, there will be side activities, minigames, and tons of content scattered across the continent. In short, Crimson Desert has it all. Great graphics, a vast open world, gameplay mechanics, a progression system, and art direction. Absolutely incredible. Available starting March 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Grand Theft Auto VI

Number one.

• After 34 incredible releases, we've arrived at the game that has all the potential to solidify its place as the biggest launch in the history of video games, although unfortunately it has just suffered a second delay. Rockstar Games presents Grand Theft Auto 6, the next installment in the open-world action-adventure series that takes us once again to the chaotic streets of Vice City to follow the unusual lives of two new protagonists, Lucia Caminos and Jason Dubal, a couple determined to forge a new life regardless of the cost or consequences. However, after a poorly planned robbery, their lives will change radically as they become involved in a criminal conspiracy that spans the entire state of Leonida. Although the gameplay remains a mystery, the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has already given us an idea of ​​the visual quality that will define this installment. The tremendous evolution of the Rage graphics engine over the years is evident in the amazing character models and the recreation of the world. The bad news is that GTA 6 has had its release date moved from May 26th to November 19th, 2026. It is expected to arrive first on consoles and later on PC.
