Destructoid’s most anticipated games for 2026

After several incredible releases, big-name titles, and surprise hits, 2025 in gaming is rapidly coming to an end. It’s time to look forward.

Below, we’ve gathered just some of the games we’re looking forward to playing in 2026. Make sure to let us know what you want to play, which games you’re curious about, and which ones you’ll pre-order the moment it’s possible.

And you know what the best part is? These are just scratching the surface. There’s a whole calendar of 2026 titles to look forward to, plus plenty more surprises that will drop and take the gaming world by storm.

Most anticipated 2026 video games

Grand Theft Auto 6

It starts and ends with GTA 6 in 2026. It’s currently slated to finally launch on Nov. 19, and is not just the most anticipated game of 2026, but probably of all time. It’s got impossible expectations, and its pricetag will be a point of discussion up until it’s finally out (will they actually charge $100 for it?), but everyone in the industry and world is waiting for this one to drop.

Resident Evil Requiem

First-person? Check. Survival horror? Check. Third-person? That too. Action gameplay? You got it!

Leon S. Kennedy and newcomer Grace Ashcroft take the stage in what’s being described as the end of an era in the Resident Evil franchise for its 30th anniversary. Whatever comes next will be different, but for now, RE9 is looking and sounding like the best of both distinct identities the series has had.

Marvel’s Wolverine

Get ready, bub, because Insomniac Games’ follow-up to its Spider-Man games is finally coming in the fall of 2026. The action-adventure game promises lots of rage, even more blood, and a whole lot of mutants and X-Men cameos.

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

Imagine a LEGO Batman game that’s based on several different movies and appearances of the character (like The Dark Knight and more), but with the open-world, action combat gameplay of the Batman Arkham games. We can’t wait to visit LEGO Gotham in this one.

The Duskbloods

From Software’s next title is a Switch 2 exclusive that features both PvP and PvE in multiplayer fashion. It’s still unknown what this game truly is all about, but Elden Ring: Nightreign has shown that the Dark Souls maker is venturing into full-fledged multiplayer a bit more.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

Lara Croft is officially back in 2026, with a “reimagining” of her original 1996 PS1 classic. Crystal Dynamics promises some surprises in this remake-that’s-not-a-remake, so franchise fans everywhere will be booting this one up with excitement and curiosity.

Marathon

This one may turn some heads, but I’m looking forward to seeing what Marathon accomplishes as a new extraction shooter when it drops in March. Will the game be good? Will it matter, after months of bad PR? Will ARC Raiders‘ popularity have a negative or positive effect?

After months of feedback and testing, once the game was delayed, it’s looking and sounding like a better title than what players experienced in last year’s closed alpha. It remains to be seen just how the game will feel on day one.

The Firewood Cutter, aka the Lumber Conveyor, is an exceptional tool if you’re looking to sell and cut Firewood in My Winter Car.

This item can’t be used on its own, and you’ll need to use the tractor to do so. However, the job is easier said than done, and this guide will help you become a woodcutter in a few simple steps.

How to use the Lumber Conveyor in My Winter Car

The first task is to connect the Cutter to the Kekmet. It’s impossible to move the Lumber Conveyor from its stationary position without attaching it to your tractor. Hence, drive the tractor carefully and place it very close to the Conveyor. Keep the distance as minimal as possible, or else the alignment will be loose, and logs will fall.

You’ll find the rear hitch lever on the right side of the Kekmet. Use it to lower the attachment arms from the rear of the tractor. Get down, and click the connection point on the cutter (once the attachment arms have been lowered). If aligned properly, the cutter will connect with the Kekmet.

Next, use the PTO lever located to the left of the steering wheel of the Kekmet. Activate it to start the sdrive shaft and the Conveyor. If you want the cutter to work fast, go for a higher RPM. However, that will be less conducive to a longer cutting session.

Once you have completed all the steps mentioned earlier in the guide, take a log from the wood pile. Then, place it in the cutter slot. The log will automatically split the logs into pieces based on how high the RPM is. The Conveyor will automatically place the Firewood in the trailer (don’t forget to attach it).
