PlayStation posted a roundup on January 2, 2026 that lines up 18 titles arriving in the first months of the year, from late January through May. The list mixes remakes, new IP, and sequels with clear priority for PS5, though several entries will also appear on PS4.
The calendar kicks off in late January with Arknights: Endfield (Jan 22, PS5), a space-opera spin on the strategic RPG that leans harder into exploration and four-player real-time combat. That’s followed by party-friendly open-world co-op in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (Jan 28, PS5) and the action-RPG Code Vein II (Jan 30, PS5), which continues the series’ blood‑driven mechanics and character customization.
February pins down a steady stream of releases: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (Feb 5, PS5) brings its diorama visuals and upgraded combat, while Nioh 3 (Feb 6, PS5) expands Team Ninja’s samurai-versus-yokai scope across multiple historical eras. The month also includes horror and survival fare: No Sleep for Kaname Date (Feb 26, PS4 and PS5) slots between entries in the Somnium Files series, and Resident Evil Requiem (Feb 27, PS5) returns players to Racoon City with both first- and third-person options.
March opens with Bungie’s extraction shooter Marathon (March, PS5), a PvPvE heist game set on Tau Ceti that emphasizes scavenging and tense extractions. The month also mixes smaller and midrange projects like Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse (March 5, PS4 and PS5), the cozy visual-novel spin Coffee Talk Tokyo (March 5, PS5), and remasters including Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered (March 19, PS5).
April fills out with Capcom’s sci-fi offering Pragmata (April 24, PS5) and Housemarque’s follow-up Saros (April 30, PS5), both leaning into atmospheric, third-person action. The bigger tentpole listed for later in the window is 007 First Light (May 27, PS5) from IO Interactive, billed as an origin story for James Bond developed with the studio’s stealth-action pedigree.
Several entries on the PlayStation list are remakes and PS4/PS5 cross-releases, which matters for players still on the older console. For background on how Sony is handling legacy PS4 features for new submissions, see our piece on PlayStation’s upcoming limits for new PS4 feature integrations.
Overall the early 2026 slate is heavy on action, horror, and remasters, with a few bold gambits from major studios. Release days range from exact dates in January and February to looser month windows for March and beyond, so expect more specifics as publishers update their launch plans.
