007 First Light drops next Tuesday June 2. After that the release calendar for the rest of 2026 is stacked. GTA VI is still targeting 2025 on console with no PC date. Avengers Doomsday in cinemas is pulling developer attention to tie-in games. The next Fable reboot is targeting holiday 2026. Several smaller indie releases have been generating significant enthusiasm.

The World Cup from June 11 to July 19 will affect gaming release scheduling as publishers avoid the tournament window. What are people most looking forward to in the back half of the year?

007 First Light this week and then honestly nothing is competing for my attention until whatever the first reviews of GTA VI say. GTA VI is the game the industry has been building toward for five years

Fable reboot has been in development for so long that my enthusiasm has gone through multiple cycles. Currently at cautious interest after being at high excitement and then cynical and then waiting to see

The smaller games are often the ones that actually define the year in retrospect. Last year's surprise was something nobody was expecting. The calendars always look more certain than they are
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

The World Cup window affecting release schedules means June and July are light. Expect a concentrated push in September and October as publishers try to capture the post-summer attention

GTA VI targeting console only initially with no PC date is the decision that will frustrate a huge part of the gaming audience. Rockstar knows it and is doing it anyway
Opinions are my own. Obviously. Dave

The indie games I am most interested in are the ones that look like they are doing something mechanically interesting rather than visually impressive. The big budget games have the visuals covered
I read every reply. Even the bad ones.
