Unlike Steam weekly bestsellers or App Store charts, an IGN Playlist is a curated watchlist—Derek’s picks among in-development and upcoming titles, sorted by Author Rank, not sales or review scores. Treat the 106 entries as an observation pool, not a definitive “must-play 2026” list.

What’s on the list

The pool mixes mega-titles—Grand Theft Auto VI, The Witcher IV, Marvel's Wolverine—with long-tail indies such as Janet DeMornay is a Slumlord (and a Witch) and Normal Fishing. Author Rank front-loads Derek’s personal tracking order; blockbuster search interest (GTA VI, Witcher IV) often outruns list position.

Threads worth watching in 2026

• Open worlds / action RPG — GTA VI, Witcher IV, Fable, The Duskbloods (FromSoftware).
• Sony / Marvel / Star Wars — Wolverine, KOTOR Remake, Star Wars: Zero Company.
• Reboots & sequels — Phantom Blade Zero, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Control: Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall.
• Japanese / fighting / narrative — Persona 4 Revival, Onimusha, Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, The Wolf Among Us 2.
• VR / immersive sim — Low-Fi, Judas, OD (Kojima Productions).
