July 14, 2026 - 09:29

Gamers are already looking past the launch of GTA VI and toward what comes next, and 2027 is shaping up to be another massive year for the industry. With several major studios and publishers lining up their next big releases, the year promises a packed calendar of high-profile titles.

Among the most anticipated is a new entry in the Mass Effect series, which BioWare has been quietly developing. Fans of the original trilogy are hopeful for a return to form after the mixed reception of Andromeda. Another heavy hitter is the next installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise, which is rumored to be set in feudal Japan, a setting fans have requested for years.

The Elder Scrolls VI is also expected to finally arrive in 2027, nearly a decade after its announcement. Bethesda has kept details under wraps, but the hype remains enormous. On the shooter front, a new Call of Duty title is almost guaranteed, though specifics are unclear. Meanwhile, the next God of War game is reportedly in the works, continuing Kratos' journey through Norse mythology or possibly moving to a new pantheon.

Other notable titles include a new Final Fantasy mainline entry, a sequel to Horizon Forbidden West, and a fresh installment in the Metal Gear Solid series. The next Batman game from Rocksteady is also rumored, along with a new Star Wars title from Respawn Entertainment. With so many heavy hitters on the horizon, 2027 could rival 2023 and 2025 as one of the strongest years in gaming history.
