Let’s kick off things with DaBa Land of Water Scar. This is an upcoming action RPG that’s being developed by Dark Star, the studio behind Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption.

Tag-team fighters are a genre that will never go out of fashion, but here we have Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, which is all set to give it a new twist once it drops in 2026. The game throws you right into the Marvel universe and lets you choose from various iconic heroes and villains. Once you’ve chosen your fighter, it’s time to drop into the anime-style 2.5D arena.
The game is centered around a 4v4 formula instead of the typical 2v2 or 3v3 sets, but that’s what makes this tag fighter unique. It’s a blend of unique mechanics and visuals. This is a game that you won’t ever forget.
4. Exiledge

And finally, we have Marvel’s Wolverine. After years of leaks, rumors, and speculation, we all thought for a while that this title wasn’t seeing the light of day. However, it’s all confirmed that this game will launch on PS5 in Fall 2026. For those who don’t know, this game brings a standalone story for Wolverine, similar to Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Throughout Logan’s story, you’ll be coming across some of the most iconic Mutants while battling your way in fast and aggressive combat. Its dark and brutal tone is something that you wouldn’t expect from Insomniac, but it’s fresh and mind-boggling.
