Later this week, on Thursday, December 4, PC Gamer is bringing back the publication's annual top 25 countdown of the most anticipated games that are expected to debut in 2026.
The list of Most Wanted games was chosen by a group called "The Council," made up of a panel of over 120 industry professionals, journalists, celebrities, and content creators from a curated list of 100 games chosen by PC Gamer.
The list includes fan favorite titles like 007 First Light, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Resident Evil Requiem. As you'll see on the PC Gaming show page, we can expect to see information on more than 50 games.
Panelists include noted industry luminaries like Brian Fargo (InXile Entertainment), Sid Meier (Firaxis Games), Hannah Flynn (Failbetter Games), Devora Wilde (actor), David Gaider (Summerfall Studios), John Romero (Romero Games) and Victoria Tran (Innersloth)
It'll be interesting to see what makes the top 25 this year, as looter shooters dominated 2024 and GTA 6 has yet to release, though it is expected to finally launch next fall.
