10 MASSIVE NEW Strategy Games I'm HYPED For In 2026

2026 is cooking up to be a massive year for strategy gaming: you’ve got space RTS escalation with Falling Frontier, hardcore city-survival returning in a rebuilt Frostpunk 1886, and a new wave of medieval sandboxes like Chronicles: Medieval and the long-teased Medieval 3 Total War. On top of that, there are fresh grand-strategy and war titles with GOT: War for Westeros, Fall of an Empire, Carthage: Bellum Punicum, and more.

In this video I’ll break down the top strategy games to watch out for in 2026, both completely new games as well as some highly anticipated updates to already established games, what each is bringing to the table, and my honest thoughts on why this year will be so exciting for the genre!
