Video game releases scheduled for late 2026

Several major video game titles are scheduled for release in the second half of 2026, prompting recommendations for players to engage with existing series to prepare for upcoming narratives.

“The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki the 2nd” is set for release on September 17, 2026. As a full remake following “the 1st,” the story continues directly from the previous ending. Playing the original title is recommended to understand the foundational characters and the overarching political conspiracies of the series.

Additionally, the upcoming “Fire Emblem: Banshi Senko,” also slated for September 17, 2026, is noted for potential thematic or world-building connections to “Fire Emblem: Three Houses.” Players are encouraged to revisit “Three Houses” to better grasp the potential setting and character lineages that may carry over into the new installment.
