Role-playing games remain a cornerstone of the video game industry, boasting a rich history spanning over three decades. Each month brings a fresh wave of noteworthy RPG titles, ranging from major 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 landscape is constantly evolving, with a steady stream of new games on the horizon.

However, the payoff when a game successfully lives up to its potential is undeniably rewarding. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
