Gaming’s Biggest Hits

As 2026 dawns, the gaming world is abuzz with excitement, and for good reason. The upcoming year promises to be a blockbuster one, with a slew of highly anticipated titles vying for attention. According to Polygon, a leading source for gaming news, the top of 2026 bears a striking resemblance to the top of 2025, with several high-profile reboots and new IPs on the horizon.

Xbox is set to reboot Fable, while Bungie is reviving Marathon. Marvel is also getting in on the action, with a new game starring Captain America and Black Panther. However, it’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room – or rather, the Grand Theft Auto 6-sized shadow looming over the industry. One of the most intriguing titles on the slate is IO Interactive’s new James Bond game.

Historically, Bond games have been hit-or-miss, but this one has the potential to be a huge plus. With the timing of its release coinciding with a new era for the Bond franchise, IO Interactive has the opportunity to establish its own unique identity. The studio’s pedigree, gained from its work on the Hitman series, also bodes well for this project.
