Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Release Date: 2024

What’s got everyone buzzing is the potential for total freedom. Want to charge into battle wielding dual swords? Cool. Prefer to toss fireballs like a mage on steroids? Even cooler. Avowed is shaping up to deliver a sandbox experience where your playstyle truly matters.

Why It’s Worth the Hype: Obsidian’s track record speaks for itself—The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas are proof enough. Plus, who doesn’t like a game that feels like an open-ended playground of possibilities?

2. Baldur’s Gate 3

Developer: Larian Studios
Release Date: Late 2023/Early 2024 (Full Release on Epic Games)

Now, Baldur’s Gate 3 might already have a bit of buzz (okay, maybe a lot), and with good reason. This RPG transports players to the Forgotten Realms, where dangerous creatures and morally grey decisions lurk at every corner. Oh, and did I mention? It’s based on the iconic Dungeons & Dragons 5E ruleset.

3. Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

Developer: BioWare
Release Date: TBA

Alright, Dragon Age fans, the wait is almost over. Dreadwolf, the fourth installment in the beloved franchise, is set to continue the story of Solas (cue the gasps!). BioWare has been tight-lipped about details, but early teasers hint at a darker tone and richer lore.

The franchise has always excelled at blending high-stakes storytelling and fluid combat. If the devs stick the landing, Dreadwolf could redefine modern RPGs.

Why It’s Worth the Hype: BioWare is known for its ability to create complex worlds full of political intrigue, romance, and moral dilemmas. With Dragon Age: Inquisition setting the bar high, expectations for Dreadwolf are through the roof.

4. Fable

Developer: Playground Games
Release Date: TBA

Remember the whimsical, slightly cheeky Fable series from back in the day? Well, it’s getting a reboot! The beloved franchise is back, and this time it’s being developed by Playground Games, the masterminds behind the Forza Horizon series.

While the original Fable games leaned heavily on choice-driven gameplay and quirky humor, this new iteration promises to retain the charm while giving the visuals a modern makeover. From being a hero (or villain!) to living your best virtual life, Fable could be the perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation.

Why It’s Worth the Hype: The new Fable has some serious potential to modernize the franchise without losing its unique flavor. Plus, who doesn’t want to kick chickens again? (It’s a classic.)

5. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

6. Witchfire

Developer: The Astronauts
Release Date: Early Access (2024)

Okay, so technically Witchfire blends multiple genres (it’s part FPS, part RPG), but it’s impossible to leave it off this list. Imagine Dark Souls and DOOM had a baby—yeah, it’s that wild. You play as a witch hunter armed with guns and spells, traversing a dark, gothic world filled with terrifying enemies.

The looter-shooter mechanics mixed with RPG elements give players a lot of flexibility in how they approach combat. It’s fast-paced, it’s brutal, and it’s ridiculously satisfying.

Why It’s Worth the Hype: The Astronauts nailed atmospheric storytelling with their previous game, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Combine that with intense combat, and you’ve got a recipe for something special.

7. Lies of P

Developer: Neowiz
Release Date: Available Soon on Epic Games

What if Pinocchio wasn’t a sweet little wooden boy but a deadly, clockwork badass? That’s the vibe Lies of P is going for. This gritty, soulslike RPG reimagines the classic tale in a dark, steampunk setting.

The game’s combat feels brutally challenging, so prepare to die. A lot. But what makes it interesting is the focus on choices—your decisions will shape the kind of “human” Pinocchio becomes.

8. Clockwork Revolution

Developer: inXile Entertainment
