What videogames are you playing in 2026?

I am not technically playing it yet but the final episode of The Long Dark's story mode, Wintermute, finally comes out today in about five hours after many, many years of development.

Yeah I didnt make it very far when I gave that a shot.

The confrontation with the family in the subterranean temple in Act 3 is top notch though. Someone on the Larian team clearly watches a lot of horror movies and has a wonderfully imaginative sense of dramatic presentation.

My wife and kid are both playing Pokopia and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun, it's that the type of game you're a fan of (it strikes me as a bit of a marriage of Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Viva Piñata). Still plugging away at Skyrim myself. Got distracted a bit fully completing the Thieves Guild questline for the first time.
