Role-playing games remain a cornerstone of the video game industry, boasting a rich history spanning over three decades. Each month brings a wave of new RPGs, ranging from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to more specialized titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The future of the genre is constantly evolving.
The ambitious scope of AAA RPG projects often leads to announcements years ahead of release, generating immense anticipation. This pre-release hype, while exciting, can sometimes lead to unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully delivers on its promise, the results are truly spectacular.
