Grandia and August 2026 Video Game Releases Highlighted

Esprit Otaku’s July 2026 column revisits classic video‑game licences, focusing on the JRPG series Grandia. The writer notes that the third installment never reached French markets despite a 2005 Japanese launch, and expresses a desire to see the franchise revived.

A separate August 2026 roundup lists dozens of new and returning titles slated for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and PC, including Big Walk, Beast of Reincarnation, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, Mortal Shell II and many others. The schedule showcases a mix of fresh projects and revivals of older licences, reflecting a busy summer release window for the industry.
