While 2020 was a year filled with remakes, remasters and all other manners of re-envisioning some classic RPGs, this year looks to be when newer consoles start hitting their strides with some fresh titles as well as sequels to long-running franchises. Nintendo Switch will get its first new
Monster Hunter title with
Hogwarts Legacy and
Elden Ring might showcase the power of these next-generation consoles (but we can't make any guarantee that we'll actually be able to play either by the end of the calendar year).
Note: Only games with confirmed 2021 release dates are eligible for these lists. Stuff that’s only rumored or speculated to be coming out is relegated to the honorable mentions.
