What are you looking forward to in 2026?

Let’s start this community with a look ahead to 2026! :) I’ve put together a shortlist of my favorite confirmed (or strongly rumored) releases for this year.

TV & Movies:

• A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Drops in just a few days and the first reviews seem like a return to form for Westeros. I haven’t read the book so I’ll go in completely blind. Can’t wait!

• One Piece (Season 2): Returns in march and even though I’m not the biggest fan of its set-pieces and wardrobe I love One Piece too much to skip it.

• Dune 3: Part Two was my favorite cinematic experience since the release of ROTK. It’s easily my most anticipated release this year.

Games:

• Gothic 1 Remake: The original is basically my childhood. I’m praying for a good remake.

• The Expanse: Osiris Reborn: I loved Rogue Trader so another Sci-Fi title from Owlcat sounds very promising. I’m not sure it’s even possible they’ll release it this year but one can hope

Books:

Honestly, for this year I’ll focus on reducing my backlog a bit. I want to finally read The Way of Kings, and that alone is an enormous task for me. Looking forward to any recommendations for 2026 releases though!

I’m looking forward to your highlights in fantasy for this year!
