Brand New Games That Are Really Exciting

I could list many exciting games, but this list focuses on those launching in the first four months of 2026. We’re leaving out remakes and new installments in existing series – that’s why I specifically highlighted GTA 6 and Resident Evil 9. This catalog will only feature entirely new, original games – those releasing fully or entering Early Access – making it perfect for anyone eager to discover fresh experiences in early to mid-2026.

Bobby Nash’s Death Changed 9-1-1 Forever, But Will The Show Ever Recover?

I’ve been a big fan of 9-1-1 for a while now, and while a lot of TV shows exaggerate things for drama, this show always felt a little more realistic, especially with Bobby Nash leading the team. But since he’s gone, it feels like they’ve just completely abandoned any attempt at realism. I keep watching, hoping it’ll get better, but I’m really worried the show I loved is just gone for good.

Target Leaks Adorable LEGO Set for February 2026

LEGO often announces new products well in advance, and because of its complex supply chain, information about them frequently leaks online. While it’s unusual for stores to sell items before their official release date, it does happen. Recently, a Target store in Utah accidentally put a new puppy-themed LEGO set on sale early.

WWE 2K26 Leak Reveals 4 New Match Types

WWE 2K25 added new match types like Intergender, Underground, and Bloodline Rules matches – the latter featuring interference from teammates at different points. The previous game, WWE 2K24, brought in Special Guest Referee, Casket, and Ambulance Matches, along with three kinds of Gauntlet Matches, consistently updating the gameplay experience.

GOG Managing Director Concerned Always-Online Games Could Lead to Fewer Releases

Many multiplayer games now require a constant internet connection to play. Unfortunately, this means that when game servers don’t perform as well as developers hoped, those games can be shut down, even if people are still playing them. A recent example is Anthem, which Electronic Arts (EA) took offline seven years after its release. EA explained that because Anthem was built to always be online, it’s no longer possible to play the game.

RPGs Where Role-Playing Matters More Than Stats

Many excellent games in this style focus on player choice and role-playing over simply improving numbers. These games let you shape how characters react, battles unfold, and quests progress, without needing high levels or powerful equipment. Instead of relying on stats like strength, they give you meaningful control through extensive conversations and complex decisions that truly impact the game world.

New Zombie Game is Drawing Thousands of Players on Steam

Despite sharing the bleak atmosphere of other zombie games, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check sets itself apart with its unique system of screening survivors for infection. Players face difficult choices: they must assess the health of new arrivals, manage limited resources, and make tough moral decisions to protect the safety of those already sheltered in the outpost. This focuses on a less-explored aspect of the zombie genre, adding a new layer of complexity and emotional weight.
