Open-World RPGs That Could Define tTe Next Console Generation

If the next generation of gaming consoles arrives in 2027, what can we anticipate, and how will games look compared to today’s hits? How much better will the graphics be? To explore this, we’ll focus on large-scale, open-world role-playing games planned for release in 2027 or later – games that could really showcase the new consoles. While details are limited for many of these titles – some are still early in development or haven’t even been officially announced – they all point to an exciting future for gaming.
