Two games by Capcom, Resident Evil: Requiem and Pragmata, are leading contenders for the game of the year in 2026. Despite a number of releases expected in the second half of 2026, these games have received overwhelmingly positive critical reception and are expected to be fan-favorites in the coming months. Both games have been praised for their unique mix of combat and puzzle solving, and their innovative approach to the RE Engine. Despite other titles with higher Metacritic average ratings, these titles still have a chance to outshine niche hits. The announcement of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 is still uncertain, but it is expected to become a best-seller.
