2027 Release Calendar: A Crowded Start, Then a Lot of Blank Months

Next year is shaping up as another busy one for games, even as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S owners keep getting new releases despite higher console prices. Nintendo's Switch 2 is also building a steady run of its own exclusives. The schedule is front-loaded, so anyone planning a year of play will want to look at the first few months closely.

January is the busiest stretch. BrokenLore: Ascend kicks things off on January 7, followed by Danganronpa 2x2 on January 14 and Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 on January 26. The last weekend of the month, January 28, brings a cluster of releases, including Metroid Ravenous for Switch 2, Until Dawn 2 for PS5, Tropico 7, and Witchbrook. February keeps the pace with Metro 2039 on February 4, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on February 12, God of War: Laufey on February 16, Persona 4 Revival on February 18, and Fable on February 23.

March and April are lighter but still carry some notable titles. Eternal Anima, Trine 6, and Wo Long 2 all land on March 4. Exodus arrives April 7, and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation follows on April 8. Mariachi Legends rounds out April on the 27th, and The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster is the only confirmed May title so far, arriving on the 13th.

After that, the dated list goes blank. June through December have no firm release dates, and the bulk of the year's heavier hitters sit in an undated group. That group includes Kingdom Hearts 4, Resident Evil Veronica, Squadron 42, Clockwork Revolution, Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves for Switch 2. EA Sports F1 27 is listed as TBD. Since publishers often confirm dates late, expect the calendar to fill in over the coming months.
