Fall 2026: Iconic Series Make Epic Comebacks!
15 Oct
Summary
- Major game franchises like Castlevania and GTA return.
- Several highly anticipated titles are set for release.
- Release dates span from October 6 to December 3, 2026.
The fall 2026 gaming season is characterized by the return of long-dormant franchises and highly anticipated sequels, rather than entirely new concepts. Iconic series such as Castlevania, Rayman, and Grand Theft Auto are making their comeback after extended breaks. This period also features major releases like Gears of War: E-Day and a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
These highly anticipated titles are scheduled for release between October 6 and December 3, 2026. Notable entries include Grand Theft Auto VI, arriving 13 years after its predecessor, and Gears of War: E-Day, which revisits the original Locust invasion. Other significant releases include Planet Zoo 2 and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.
New entries in the Star Wars Racer and Call of Duty series are also set to debut, alongside a rebuilt Final Fantasy Resonance from a mobile title. Nintendo is releasing a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for its Switch 2 console. Rayman Legends Retold offers substantial new content for the beloved platformer series.
With most games not yet released, critical consensus is limited, with only a few titles carrying confirmed Metascores. The focus is on established series obligations and the specific features publishers have confirmed. This fall's lineup offers a blend of full sequels, prequels, and remakes, catering to both long-time fans and new players.
