A list of upcoming RPGs that I cobbled together; let's add more to it! (2020, 2021, 2022, etc.)

[Comrade Grogu]

Hey, guys. My third thread on my entire time on ResetEra thus far. I thought about all of us making a list of RPGs (could be CPRGs or JRPGs or what have you) together. I asked around on Reddit what RPGs were coming out but I think that thread has so gone off of most peoples' radars right now. Regardless, I'm a huge RPG fan and I'm hoping to make a list of RPGs that are coming out in the near or far future. So without further ado, let's get started, shall we? Here's the list!

The purpose of this thread is to compile a list of RPG games that are coming out and maybe discuss them here and there, giving more information to them as well. I'm hoping that others will give these RPGs more support and promote them as some of these are also Indies. That said, maybe you can put some of these on your Steam or EGS wishlist? Some of these also aren't on either of those websites, but you can also find the devs on Twitter or the games themselves as Kickstarter projects, such as Odd Gods (I think?) and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Some of these may be in hiatus as of this year due to Covid-19, though I tried to make sure that they were not. Some of these, such as Keylocker and Ahses of Creation (I'm a huge MMO fan) seem pretty good as well while others probably still need work. You may also notice that some of these titles are in Early Access, but since I don't consider that to be "finished," I decided to leave them there.

I may have also included some titles that came out just now, but I'll double-check after posting this thread. But anyways, maybe this thread can be used to keep track of other RPGs coming out in the near or far term?

Help me out if you can. Thanks in advance, everyone, and have a good day.

 

[Dizastah]

Nice list OP. Be nice to have an image or two with each one.

Spoiler

I'm greedy

Also, no faith in FFVII2 in 2020? :)

I'm thinking about linking each one to their respective Steam pages or websites. This is far from done!

 

[Renteka-Bond]

She Dreams Elsewhere:


Cris Tales - November 17:


No Straight Roads - August 25:

 

[Weebos]

It's more work, but I think organizing the list by date or by year would make it easier to parse.

 

[Deleted member 63122]

Bravely Default 2

 

[His Majesty]

Given Dying Light 2's supposed focus on choice and consequence you could consider adding it to the list as well.

 

[Deleted member 58846]

Re:Fantasy (Atlus)
Atelier Ryza 2 (Tecmo)
Shin Megami Tensei V (Atlus)
Bravely Default II (Square)

 

[Xagarath]

Small Saga:


Boyfriend Dungeon:

 

[Lord Vatek]

The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV.

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

Since Baldur's Gate is in the list, these are some Early Access games that are supposed to come out at some point:

Hellsign


Tho I'm pretty sure that game was supposed to come out "in 8-12 months" in 2018, soooo....

Atom RPG: Trudograd



Edit: I think I misremembered that last one, mb

 

[Rover_]

Small Saga:

i'm looking forward to this very much, the demo is amazing! but killing a cat? no no thanks.

 

[His Majesty]

Also Logic Artists has started work on a third Expeditions game, as of yet untitled and with no release date but it was announced at the end of 2018.

 

[denx]

Would the System Shock Remake count?

 

[werezompire]

You can add our next game, This Way Madness Lies, to the list.

 

[Curler]

I recommend alphabetizing that... Harder to CTRL+F for everything

More stuff to add:

Digimon Survive
Neptunia Virtual Stars
Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD
Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate
Yo-kai Watch 4

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

I know it's a lot of work but some sort of description (even just like "Turn based jrpg" "RtwP sci fi RPG" or something) would really help because I don't know half of the games in that list.

 

[Comrade Grogu]

I will add your suggestions as soon as I am done linking all the RPGs I have on my list.

 

[Mattakuevan]

This is great OP, thanks for doing this.

 

[Seda]

Self-promotion from me

I try to keep a list of dates updated for 2020 RPGs here -> https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/8830-the-rpgs-of-2020-every-rpg-and-their-release-dates . I am missing a few of the one you have, seems like mostly ones that dont have store pages.

Some notes: I stick to confirmed English releases only, mostly avoid mobile RPGS unless they are very notable (like Tales of Crestoria, recently)

I actually plan on putting up the 2021 RPGs feature soon.

 

[Renteka-Bond]

You can add our next game, This Way Madness Lies, to the list.

You're doing a Magical Girl rpg? Dope! I've been concepting one for a little bit now, can't wait to see it!

 

[Abdiel]

Pathfinder kingmaker
Death end re quest 2
Does 13 sentinels count? That's more of a visual novel I think...
Project awakening, whatever and whenever we hear more.
Gran blue re link or whatever it's full name will be.

 

[Curler]

I heard it was more a tower defense.

 

[Launchpad]

Good list. Would be cool if you could organise by date or at least year?

 

[Deleted member 66837]

Does Project Athia count if it comes out 2022 or 23?

 

[Master Chuuster]

If the list was, let's say, broken up into years, under which year would This Way Madness Lies, hypothetically, land under? 👀

 

[Comrade Grogu]

Each and every RPG will have a link. I will now go down all your posts and put in the games that have been suggested in this thread. Thanks for your participation, everyone!

Isn't No Straight Roads an Action Rhythm game?

 

[Owlet]

I'm stupid excited for Baldur's Gate 3.

Great list OP, my steam wishlist is going to get a big overhaul lol

Initially wanted to get it out this year, but 2021 is looking more likely.

 

[FantaSoda]

Yeah, I would love the list if it was organized by date tiers and then alphabetically.

Good work OP!

 

[Hyaku Shiki]

This is great!!! Thanks for this

Eh, I was 'kinda' cheating on that one, but it has leveling gear/equipment and sense of progression. It's about one step removed from being an Action RPG compared to like Tales of Arise, lol.

So far, I have done the suggestions of Dizastah Renteka-Bond storres His Majesty The One Who Knocks Xagarath Lord Vatek Fantastapotamus denx werezompire Curler Abdiel and Master Chuuster

I will also alphabetize the list and organize it by years and dates eventually after the suggestions of some of the members here.

Any suggestions for the list are welcome.

I'll take a break as I've just now been working on the list based on everyone's suggestions since I posted it (so I think more than an hour). And I have a tutoring lesson coming up at 3:00. I'll probably be back at around 4 or 5.

Take care, everyone!

Sure.

Vague Shakespearean theme.
Playable party members are Imogen (the leader), Viola, Paulina, Rosalind, Beatrice, Miranda, and Kate.
Social sim element between dungeons a la the later Persona games.
Combat visuals reminiscent of Shining Force & Golden Sun games. Combat gameplay based on our previous games like Cosmic Star Heroine.

Basically, imagine a modern Persona game with a Shakespearean magical girl theme, an indie-sized budget, a shorter runtime, and more of a comedic bent.

Oh and I just posted a pic of the battle screen.

I had exactly the same concerns and asked the developer about it on discord during the kickstarter:

I know that you guys don't like RPGCodex, but there is a great list for games coming out on PC.

[Renteka-Bond]

I just remembered, but Ikenfell:



Jack Move:

 

[nelsonroyale]

Horizon Forbidden West should be on there. That is an rpg, just of the more action orientated flavour.

 

[Hella]

Had no idea that Geneforge 1 was getting a remake! Was kinda rooting for a second Queen's Wish game from Spiderweb, but I'm excited for Geneforge 1 all the same. (Owned and never played any of those classics, unfortunately.)

As to additions, Comrade Foster there's Cyber Knights: Flashpoint (2021) by Trese Brothers.

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint on Steam

Squad tactics heist RPG! Clever stealth, strategic combat, unique 23rd-century cyberpunk. Build your crew of hackers, mercs and malcontents wisely; their stories will become interwoven with your own. Use powerful cyberware, faction connections, and more to outsmart the odds & determine your future.

store.steampowered.com

and I dunno if it fits your vision of the thread, but Crusader Kings 3 (Sept 1, Early Access) by Paradox. It's leaning into being an RPG more than CK2 did.

Crusader Kings III on Steam

Love, fight, scheme, and claim greatness. Determine your noble house’s legacy in the sprawling grand strategy of Crusader Kings III. Death is only the beginning as you guide your dynasty’s bloodline in the rich and larger-than-life simulation of the Middle Ages.

store.steampowered.com

lastly, Kenshi 2 (prolly be years before we see anything, but it is announced) by Lo-Fi Games

Kenshi 2 Announced - Lo-Fi Games

Sure.

Vague Shakespearean theme.
Playable party members are Imogen (the leader), Viola, Paulina, Rosalind, Beatrice, Miranda, and Kate.
Social sim element between dungeons a la the later Persona games.

I don't see why not; You're linking directly to the games anyway, don't see why it matters what source you find out their existence from.
