Let me be clear: I genuinely enjoy isekai anime in all its forms! I love everything from incredible shows like Re:Zero and hilarious comedies like KonoSuba, to even the most over-the-top, silly series like Isekai Cheat Magician. They all offer something fun and can brighten anyone’s day, including mine. Luckily, there’s always more isekai anime on the way, though it’s hard to know which ones will become really popular. If you’re looking for some new otherworldly adventures to watch, I suggest checking out these 5 newer series, which are all expected to be released in 2026.

Only four of the ten upcoming series have been announced so far, but fans are already very enthusiastic about them. Solo Leveling could face some strong competition in the next few years.

Riding the high from the huge success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo and Sony are now teaming up to make a Legend of Zelda movie. Announced last November, the film has recently begun production in New Zealand. We already know some details, including that Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Link and Bo Bragason will play Zelda. Wes Ball, who has previously expressed his enthusiasm for the series, is directing the movie.

Often called the foundation of modern action anime (or “Shonen”), Dragon Ball remains incredibly influential. It fundamentally shaped the anime industry, and many popular series wouldn’t exist as we know them without it. Created by Akira Toriyama, the series is facing uncertainty following his death in 2024.

The recent 1.0 update includes many changes, but players are finding the Flea Market mechanic particularly challenging. It turns out that certain sections, or ‘categories,’ within the Flea Market don’t become available until you reach a relatively high player level.

We’ve generally left out games that tell stories in separate episodes, such as those made by Telltale Games, to ensure the games we recommend are different from each other.

This guide explains how to expand your empire to new islands and build more cities in Anno 117: Pax Romana. You’ll quickly find yourself wanting to explore beyond your starting island in this game.

I was surprised to see that other early reviews of the game were somewhat divided. A lot of the current discussion actually centers around a single character, Myles Mackenzie, who provides voice-over dialogue. For example, IGN’s preview of Metroid Prime 4 focused heavily on Mackenzie, suggesting his inclusion is a bad sign. Video Games Chronicle agreed, publishing an article claiming Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t feel like a traditional Metroid game, and they blamed Mackenzie for this. This seems to have resonated with players, who are expressing strong disapproval on social media about having a voiced character in a Metroid game. While I respect the opinions of other reviewers and players, I’m surprised by the amount of negativity towards Mackenzie and I don’t feel the same way.
