The Witcher and Elden Ring players will likely love one of 2026’s upcoming games, an RPG with deep combat and plenty of enormous beasts to hunt.
It’s hard to choose between the two so for the sake of argument, let’s just say The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Elden Ring are two of the greatest games ever made.
CD Projekt RED brought us an excellent conclusion to Geralt’s story with some of the best DLC in the business, and then FromSoftware followed up with the most mechanically-deep soulslike ever made, also with a banger DLC expansion.
Both games have inspired the game industry to put out better and better content which brings us to Project TAL, an RPG coming next year that fans of both The Witcher and Elden Ring will probably vibe with.

You can catch a gameplay trailer on YouTube right now but here’s the game’s description: “Project TAL is a single-player, open-world action RPG that delivers deep immersion, strategic combat, and a rich narrative shaped by your journey.
“Throughout your adventure, you’ll fight alongside distinctive in-game ally characters — each with unique abilities, personalities, and combat styles — who grow with you and influence how the story unfolds.”
At first glance it reminds me a lot of Phantom Blade Zero, a game I’ve previewed a few times now that will hopefully launch next year though the release date hasn’t been shared yet.
Fighting some of these enormous, supernatural monsters looks like it’ll be a lot of fun, and with the different classes in the game, it might even compete with Capcom’s Monster Hunter series.
You’ll be able to play Project TAL for yourself next year, and we can’t wait to see more as we make our way into 2026.
In other news, Elden Ring players have been hit with a wave of disappointment this week as the updated version of the game, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, has been delayed to 2026.
The new version of the game would have included the DLC expansion, Shadow Of The Erdtree, some new cosmetic items, and it would have also brought the game to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Apparently, the reason for the delay is to ensure the port is as good as it can be, which is likely a challenge given the less powerful hardware of the Nintendo Switch 2, at least compared to the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
