2026 Turn-Based RPGs and Strategy Games: Release Dates

Written by Marcello TBL

Originals
DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined Overview

* Updated on November 1, 2026

This calendar tracks turn-based RPGs, tactical RPGs, and strategy games releasing in 2026 across PC and consoles. Exact dates, broader release windows, Early Access launches, version 1.0 releases, ports, and expansions are labeled separately so it is clear what kind of launch each entry represents.

Release plans can change. The calendar was refreshed on November 1, 2026 using current storefronts, official publisher and developer announcements, and confirmed TBL release coverage. Early Access, version 1.0, console ports, and DLC are identified separately. Games with no verified 2026 window are excluded from the dated schedule.

November 1 changes: Historical releases and version 1.0 milestones were added through October; November gained Handmancers 1.0 and Astral Throne II, while Starfinder: Afterlight returns to the undated 2026 Early Access list. Threads of Time, Shadow of the Road, Space Scum, Pathbreakers, ABYSS REBEL, The Secret of Weepstone and Sea of Remnants are now outside 2026. BRIGANDINE ABYSS has two intentional rows for different platform dates; Handmancers also appears twice because Early Access and 1.0 are separate events. Outdated month-only targets are flagged, and no new full-game cancellation was confirmed in this review.

Jump to: January · February · March · April · May · June · July · August · September · October · November · December · 2026 dates TBA · Year unconfirmed · Moved outside 2026

How This Calendar Is Maintained

The calendar prioritizes current official storefronts, publisher or developer announcements, and platform-holder listings.

Early Access and version 1.0 dates are treated as different release events, and platform ports are labeled separately when their dates differ from the original launch. If a previously announced 2026 game moves to another year, it is removed from the monthly schedule and listed in the delayed section above.
