Video Games Releasing in February 2026
February 2026 is shaping up to be one of the busiest months for gamers in quite a while. The winter release window always brings some heavy hitters, and this year looks no different.
From long-awaited sequels to brand new adventures, there’s something coming for just about every type of player. Here’s what’s landing on consoles and PCs next month.
Assassin’s Creed: Jade Empire
Ubisoft takes the Assassin’s Creed franchise to ancient China with this massive open-world adventure set during the Tang Dynasty. Players explore bustling cities, rural villages, and the famous Silk Road while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the empire.
The game introduces new parkour mechanics designed specifically for traditional Chinese architecture, letting players leap across curved roofs and scale pagodas. Combat blends the series’ stealth elements with kung fu-inspired fighting styles that feel completely different from previous entries.
Hollow Knight: Silksong
After years of waiting, Team Cherry finally releases the sequel to one of the most beloved indie games ever made. Silksong follows Hornet through a completely new kingdom filled with fresh enemies, bosses, and environments to explore.
The game keeps the challenging combat and exploration that made the original special while adding new abilities and movement options. Fans have been asking for this game since 2019, and the developer promises it’s worth the wait with over 150 new enemies and a map even larger than the first game.
Gran Turismo 8
Sony’s flagship racing simulator returns with photorealistic graphics that push the PlayStation 5 to its absolute limits. The game features over 500 meticulously detailed cars and 40 tracks from around the world, including several brand new circuits.
A completely rebuilt physics engine makes every car feel unique, from vintage racers to modern hypercars. The career mode takes players from amateur weekend races all the way to professional motorsports championships.
Fable 4
Playground Games brings back the beloved fantasy RPG series after more than a decade away. Set in a reimagined version of Albion, the game promises the same humor and player choice that made the original trilogy popular.
Character aging returns, meaning decisions throughout the game affect how the hero looks and how NPCs react to them. The British developer behind the Forza Horizon series brings their open-world expertise to create the most seamless and detailed Fable world yet.
Resident Evil 9
Capcom continues the survival horror series with a story that picks up after the events of Village. The game takes players to a remote research facility in Eastern Europe where a new bioweapon outbreak has trapped scientists and security personnel.
Classic resource management returns with limited ammunition and healing items scattered throughout the facility. New enemy types force players to think strategically about every encounter rather than just shooting everything that moves.
Street Fighter 7
The legendary fighting game franchise evolves with new mechanics while keeping the competitive depth fans expect. Capcom adds eight new characters to the roster alongside returning favorites, each with completely redesigned move sets.
The drive system from Street Fighter 6 gets refined based on player feedback from the competitive scene. A robust single-player campaign tells interconnected stories for every character on the roster.
The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell
Bethesda finally releases the next chapter in their massive RPG series, set in the desert province of Hammerfell. Players explore a landscape of sandy dunes, ancient ruins, and coastal cities influenced by Middle Eastern and North African cultures.
The game uses a brand new engine built from the ground up, leaving behind the technical limitations of previous entries. Character creation offers more options than any previous Elder Scrolls game, with 12 playable races and hundreds of customization choices.
Metroid Prime 4
Nintendo delivers the long-awaited fourth entry in the Metroid Prime series exclusively for the Switch 2. Samus Aran explores a mysterious planet with environments that shift between multiple dimensions.
The first-person exploration and combat feel immediately familiar to fans while adding new abilities that take advantage of the Switch 2’s improved hardware. Retro Studios spent nearly seven years developing the game after scrapping an earlier version that didn’t meet Nintendo’s standards.
Borderlands 4
Gearbox Software brings back the looter shooter franchise with billions of procedurally generated weapons to find. The game introduces a new planet with distinct biomes ranging from toxic swamps to crystalline caves.
Four new Vault Hunters each offer unique playstyles and skill trees that can be mixed and matched. The signature humor returns with celebrity voice actors bringing the colorful cast of characters to life.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
BioWare’s fantasy RPG series continues with a focus on the mysterious Tevinter Imperium. Players create a new hero who must navigate political intrigue while stopping an ancient threat from destroying the world.
The tactical combat system gets overhauled to feel more immediate and engaging than previous Dragon Age games. Romance options, party interactions, and moral choices all carry significant weight in how the story unfolds.
Persona 6
Atlus moves the beloved JRPG series to a new city with a fresh cast of high school students balancing everyday life with supernatural battles. The game keeps the social simulation elements that define the series while introducing new activities and relationship mechanics.
Combat evolves the turn-based system with flashy new animations and demon fusion combinations. A completely original soundtrack from composer Shoji Meguro sets the mood for the 80-plus hour adventure.
Marvel’s Blade
Arkane Studios creates an action game starring the vampire hunter Blade in a dark corner of the Marvel universe. Set in Paris, the game blends stealth and combat as players hunt down supernatural threats terrorizing the city.
The day-night cycle actually matters because vampires only appear after sunset, forcing players to plan their hunts carefully. Blade’s arsenal includes his signature sword alongside various vampire-hunting gadgets and weapons.
Sonic Generations 2
Sega brings back both Classic and Modern Sonic for another dimension-hopping adventure celebrating the franchise’s history. The game revisits and reimagines levels from across the series’ 35-year history with completely new twists.
Each zone offers both 2D and 3D gameplay sections that showcase what made those eras special. The story brings together characters from throughout Sonic’s timeline for the most ambitious crossover the series has attempted.
Hades 3
Supergiant Games expands their Greek mythology roguelike with a new protagonist and setting. Players control Melinoe, goddess of ghosts, as she battles through different realms of the underworld.
The gameplay loop of repeated runs with incremental progress returns, but new weapons and abilities change how each escape attempt plays out. Every character is fully voiced with the same quality writing and acting that made Hades 2 a phenomenon.
The Last of Us Part III
Naughty Dog concludes the trilogy with a story set years after the events of Part II. The game explores how the world has changed as survivors build new communities and fight for limited resources.
Graphics push the PlayStation 5 further than any previous game from the studio. The developer promises this entry wraps up the story arc they’ve been building since the first game in 2013.
Elden Ring Age of Twilight
A giant update arrives from FromSoftware, expanding their 2022 success beyond what many standalone titles offer. This addition brings a whole new area – mapped tightly, packed with old ruins and open-air enemies.
Thirty-plus arms appear alongside four dozen magical effects, opening different ways to survive tough encounters. Before the Tarnished walked those paths, others built legacies; now their tales unfold through figures once hidden in myth.
Crash Bandicoot Warp Zone
A fresh 3D adventure brings back a familiar face from PlayStation’s past – this one echoes the early games without copying them. Through shimmering gateways, Crash and Coco hop between worlds, each painted with its own look, each built around tricky jumps and timing.
Easy paths welcome newcomers, while hidden routes dare experienced players to prove their skills. Developed once again by Toys for Bob, who shaped the last entry, every move responds sharply, every stage unfolds with purpose. This isn’t nostalgia on repeat – it builds something new from what came before.
February’s gaming feast continues a strong year
What stands out about February 2026 is just how many kinds of games are arriving. Big studio productions, built with huge budgets, sit alongside quiet projects from tiny crews.
Yet both carry real care in their making. Even with companies favoring ongoing online worlds lately, solo adventures still claim most of the spotlight this month.
Some offer sprawling stories lasting weeks. Others wrap up fast, sharp, and complete.
Either way, players will find something that fits how they like to play – no extra noise needed.
