Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the video game industry for over three decades. The genre consistently delivers exciting new titles each month, ranging from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to more specialized offerings such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The pipeline of new RPGs remains robust.

The ambitious nature of AAA RPGs often leads to announcements years before release, generating considerable anticipation. This pre-release hype can be difficult to manage, sometimes leading to unmet expectations. However, when a game successfully lives up to its promise, the result is truly rewarding.
