2026 has left premieres as Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave and Star Wars: Zero Company, but next year it tightens the agenda even more. Sage Ashford signs for CBR a ranking published on November 12, 2026 with ten RPGs pointing to 2027: classic JRPG remakes, Western weight returns and sequels that have been waiting for years.
It is convenient to separate what is confirmed from what is still an intention. Single Romancing Saga 3: Destinies United It has a specific window —the start of the year— and Final Fantasy VII Revelation Aim for spring. The rest stays in a “2027” that leaves plenty of margin for delays.
The remake that opens the calendar
Square Enix launches Romancing Saga 3: Destinies United At the beginning of 2027, a remake of the 1995 SNES original that comes after the success of Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven in 2024.

Albion, Geralt and an expansion of 2015
Playground Games returns to the kingdom of Albion with Fable, an RPG with an immersive simulation vocation. In addition to the adventure, the interaction with the population and the weight of decisions about the lives of its inhabitants are part of the attractiveness.
At the other end of the map is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, third expansion of the 2015 game by CD Projekt Red. Geralt travels to a new country to help Dandelion and adds the chains as a weapon to face the threats he will find there.
Two Space Operas in tent

Exodus It is the first big project of Archetype Entertainment, a team with several former BioWare developers, and proposes a science fiction universe with bears and octopuses that speak among their hallmarks.
Xenoblade, Persona and Kingdom Hearts: Three Japanese Returns
Xenoblade Genesis It will take the saga to the world of Anshar in 2027, with arrival at Nintendo Switch 2 and no exact date. The change of third is remarkable: higher fantasy and less weight of the science fiction component. after that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Out nominated for Game of the Year, the expectation is to see how that turn translates.
Person 4 Revival It was announced on the 2025 Xbox Gaming Showcase and Atlus is scheduled for 2027. The studio has maintained a steady pace of releases, and the remake retains the character of the original with a new visual layer designed for those who entered the series with person 5.
Kingdom Hearts IV Start a different adventure: Closed the story of the original trilogy, the Guardians of Light still have to reunite Sora with his friends. Square Enix has shown little more than a preview and has not detailed which Disney worlds will appear.
Pokemon Winds & Waves premieres Generation 10 on Switch 2
The tenth generation of Pokémon will also be the first main installment on Nintendo Switch 2. Pokemon Winds & Waves It is designed for the franchise’s 30th anniversary and transfers the action to a new archipelago, with several islands to go through and what is hidden underwater as part of the exploration.
Seven years of remake come to an end
Final Fantasy VII Revelation Close the remake trilogy Final Fantasy VII, a seven-year tour that Square Enix confirmed at the Summer Game Fest for spring 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox on PC.
The combat maintains its base and adds a system of classes, while exploration gains the Highwind as a means to move around the world.
What remains to be specified
Outside the ranking there are other names that sound for 2027 without official confirmation. The Witcher 4 Drag rumors about that year that CD Projekt Red has not supported, and projects such as Stranger Than Heaven by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio or a Baldurs Gate 4 Confirmed by Wizards of the Coast that Larian will not develop.
With so many titles pending a firm date, next year’s calendar will close little by little. Confirmations of the coming months will tell how many of these ten arrive on time and how many move to 2028.
