📅 The 2026 Watchlist: Q1 Preview

Thursday, December 18, 2025 | Updated 11:30 AM ET

Crimson Desert is finally arriving this March after years of delays.

With 2025 almost in the rearview mirror, we are looking ahead. While we're all still busy playing Ghost of Yōtei (released Oct 2), the lineup for early 2026 is looking incredibly dangerous for our wallets.

🔥 Verified Q1 2026 Releases

Resident Evil Requiem (RE9)
📅 Feb 27, 2026
The next mainline entry featuring Leon and Grace Ashcroft. The "Old Man Leon" leaks were 100% accurate.

Crimson Desert
📅 March 19, 2026
From the creators of Black Desert. This single-player RPG looks like a mix of Game of Thrones and Witcher 3 on steroids.

007: First Light (Project 007)
📅 March 27, 2026
IO Interactive (Hitman) drops their James Bond origin story. Confirmed to be an Epic Games Store exclusive at launch.

🤔 The "April" Mystery

Capcom's other project, Pragmata, is tentatively listed for April 24, 2026. Given how many times this game has been delayed, we'll believe it when we see the "Download" button.
