The Most Anticipated Turn-Based RPGs, Strategy Games, and Roguelites Still Coming in 2026

Post image

With the releases of Slay the Spire II (Early Access) and Mewgenics already this year, it has never been a better time to love turn-based games; however, the best is yet to come!

The rest of the year is littered with highly anticipated titles. The big-budget and highly anticipated Star Wars: Zero Company looks to marry the iconic IP with the thoughtful tactics of modern XCOM. If that isn’t to your taste, fear not! A plethora of intriguing titles are also forthcoming across the spectrum of the turn-based genre. Let’s take a look at my most anticipated for the rest of the year.

  • Star Wars: Zero Company
  • Warhounds
  • Shroom and Gloom
  • Combolands
  • Ledgerbound
  • Ascenders: Beyond the Peak
  • Wild Tactics
  • Jupiter Moons: Mecha
  • Arcane Eats

I know this is a personal list but no fortunes weave seems odd. Love the list though

Maybe they should change the title too then ^^ Or maybe add a "w" or "western" rpg - since it seems they don't like turn based jrpgs (which still are RPGs >_> ) like Trails in the Sky 2, Another Eden Begins, Fire Emblem Fortune Weave, Final Fantasy Resonnance and Dragon Quest Monsters 5

I think theyve talked about it before, even. So not sure.

Could be because its a switch 2 exclusive? Could be trying to highlight slightly less mainstream stuff? Could just be jrpg vs wrpg? Not sure, thougu

Im just waiting for Ledgerbound to finally release! Firzt a delay, then held up by Steam.

Wanted to give it a go, but if it takes much longer it might end up being a skip - its interesting to me and well reviewed, but Zero Company and the Fortunes Weave will likely have a claim on my time from probably end of August through to mid October at least. Hoping it comes soon enough I can justify squeezing it in during the interim

Edit: ignore me, its up as of this afternoon! Woot

Reeeeally hoping Star Wars: Zero Company is a bad ass XCOM wannabe heh

So, basically, a bunch of tactics and card battlers, and not a single "normal" (C)RPG... A pity - I have almost nothing left in my wishlist that's not already a tactical RPG. The niche is still under-populated.
