It may not be launching until 2026, but you can already partly get your hands on Aegis Force: The Scorian War - an RPG you’re going to want to keep an eye on.
I have to say, 2026 is already shaping up very nicely.
Fable, Gears of War: E-Day, and Saros are just a couple of the games already confirmed to be launching.
And let’s not forget that The Elder Scrolls VI, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and The Witcher IV remain without release dates.

Could one or more of those games land next year?
Well, one title that is landing is Aegis Force: The Scorian War, a strategy RPG from Deseret Games Studio.
It boasts a stunning art style, making use of pixel art 2.5D visuals.
You can see those visuals in action in the trailer below.
“Aegis Force is a story-driven tactical JRPG that blends tactical turn-based combat with full world and town exploration,” the synopsis reads.
“It captures the essence of genre-defining JRPG classics with stunning pixel art 2.5D visuals, a morally complex story, and an intricately detailed world with secrets to uncover.”
Aegis Force: The Scorian War markets itself as being in the same vein as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Shining Force, so if you’re a fan of those franchises, you’ll likely enjoy what’s on offer here.
You’ll play as Callon, who must make use of “the powers of a Tactimagus”, tying together spells and attacks to forge victory with his ever-expanding team.
There are over 15 characters you can recruit, from warriors to engineers, as together, you plan heists, battle monsters, foil dark plots, and unlock “the mysteries of a continent caught in a century-long struggle”.
As I said, the game isn’t expected out until 2026. When it does launch, it’ll offer players a thrilling 30-hour single-player campaign.
In the meantime though, you can sample its free demo over on Steam to get a feel for what the game has to offer.
