Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the gaming industry for over three decades. Each month brings a wave of new titles, ranging from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized offerings such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures II, and Little Witch Nobeta. The RPG landscape is constantly evolving, with a steady stream of new projects on the horizon.

The genre's ambitious AAA projects often garner significant attention years before release, leading to considerable anticipation. This pre-release hype can be both a blessing and a curse, sometimes resulting in unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully delivers on its promise, the payoff is immense. So, which upcoming RPGs are generating the most buzz?
