Square Enix has confirmed the release date for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and final chapter in its remake trilogy that began with Final Fantasy VII Remake in 2020 and continued with Rebirth in 2024. Here’s everything confirmed so far about release timing, platforms, characters, story, gameplay systems and how this closing chapter fits into one of the most ambitious remake projects in gaming history.

Release Date

Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches on 8 April 2027 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam, the Microsoft Store and the Epic Games Store, with both physical and digital editions available at launch. It marks the first time a mainline entry in the remake trilogy has launched simultaneously across every current-generation platform, rather than starting as a timed PlayStation console exclusive the way both Remake and Rebirth originally did.

Playable Characters

Eight characters are confirmed as playable: Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Yuffie, Red XIII, Cait Sith, Vincent and Cid, giving the conclusion of the trilogy its largest roster yet. Notably absent from that list at the time of writing is Aerith, whose status following Rebirth’s ending has been one of the most heavily debated plot threads among fans since 2024, and Square Enix has kept tight-lipped on whether or how she factors into Revelation’s story.

How We Got Here: The Remake Trilogy So Far

Square Enix first announced it was remaking Final Fantasy VII, one of the best-selling and most influential RPGs of all time, in 2015, but the project didn’t take shape as a multi-part release until years later. Final Fantasy VII Remake arrived in 2020, retelling only the opening Midgar section of the original 1997 game as a full-length, high-budget release in its own right, and introducing new mysterious antagonists, the Whispers, that signalled the story would diverge from the original in significant ways.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth followed in 2024, covering the middle section of the original game — the party’s journey across the wider world after leaving Midgar — and ending on one of the most divisive and debated cliffhangers in the series’ history involving Aerith’s fate. That ending left an enormous amount riding on Revelation to resolve, both in terms of the reworked plot threads introduced across the first two games and the emotional weight built up around the original story’s most famous moment.

Story and Gameplay

Revelation concludes the trilogy’s retelling of Final Fantasy VII, with the party working to stop Sephiroth’s plan to crash Meteor into the planet while he corrupts the world’s guardian Weapons. New to this instalment is open-world exploration built around the Highwind airship as a central hub, alongside Piko, an upgradable chocobo mount usable for both ground travel and combat. The FITS system returns each character to four equippable outfit variants that meaningfully change their abilities, and the Queen’s Blood card-battling minigame is back with new variants.

The Highwind as an Open-World Hub

Using the Highwind airship as a mobile home base and fast-travel hub is a significant structural shift for the trilogy. Rather than exploring one large connected region at a time, as Rebirth did with its open zones, Revelation is expected to let players fly freely to previously visited locations and new areas alike, echoing how the original 1997 game used the Highwind to open up the entire world map in its final act. Early footage shows the airship’s interior serving as a social hub between party members, continuing the trilogy’s emphasis on character-building side content alongside the main plot.

Piko, FITS and Queen’s Blood Explained

Piko is the new chocobo companion introduced for Revelation, and unlike the temporary, area-specific chocobo rentals of Rebirth, Piko is upgradable and usable across the whole game, in and out of combat. The FITS system (Fully Interchangeable Tactical Style) gives each of the eight playable characters four distinct outfit variants, each altering their combat abilities and playstyle rather than being purely cosmetic, adding a deeper layer of party customisation than either of the previous two games offered. Queen’s Blood, the card-battling minigame introduced in Rebirth, returns with new card sets and rule variants, continuing to serve as one of the trilogy’s most popular pieces of optional content.

Sephiroth, Weapons and the Fight for the Planet

The central conflict driving Revelation’s story is Sephiroth’s plan to summon Meteor and corrupt the planet’s guardian Weapons — colossal ancient beings that, in the original game, exist to defend the planet from catastrophic threats. Turning the Weapons against the party rather than having them act as neutral or hostile forces marks a significant escalation from the source material, and is expected to provide some of the game’s largest boss encounters. Exactly how the remake trilogy’s altered timeline — introduced via the Whispers in Remake and expanded in Rebirth — resolves alongside the original story’s events remains one of the most closely guarded aspects of the game ahead of launch.

The Legacy of the Original Final Fantasy VII

It’s hard to overstate how significant the original Final Fantasy VII was when it released on PlayStation in 1997. It introduced a huge number of players to Japanese RPGs for the first time, pushed cinematic storytelling in games forward with its pre-rendered backgrounds and CGI cutscenes, and built a cast — Cloud, Aerith, Sephiroth, Tifa and the rest — that remains among the most recognisable in gaming nearly three decades later. Its central plot twist involving Aerith is still regularly cited as one of the most impactful moments in video game history, which is part of why the remake trilogy’s decision to alter and expand on that story, rather than simply retell it beat-for-beat, has generated so much debate among longtime fans since Remake’s 2020 release.

Combat, Materia and Party Synergy

Revelation builds on the action-command hybrid combat system established across Remake and Rebirth, blending real-time attacks with an ATB (Active Time Battle) gauge that fills to unlock special abilities, spells and Limit Breaks. Materia — the series’ signature system for equipping magic and support abilities onto weapons and armour — returns and is expected to expand further given the larger eight-character roster, with synergy abilities that let two party members combine attacks mid-battle continuing on from mechanics introduced in Rebirth. With more playable characters than either previous instalment, party composition and switching between characters mid-fight is expected to play a bigger role than ever in how battles are approached.

Music and Presentation

The remake trilogy has been consistently praised for its music, built around reorchestrated and reimagined versions of the original 1997 soundtrack’s most iconic themes, and Revelation is expected to continue that approach for its climactic final chapter. Composer credits typically draw on the same core team responsible for Remake and Rebirth’s scores, and marketing material so far has leaned heavily on swelling orchestral arrangements of classic themes tied to Sephiroth and the party’s core cast, signalling the emotional stakes Square Enix is aiming for in the story’s conclusion.

Post-Launch DLC Expansions

Two story expansions are already planned post-launch: one centred on Vincent in winter 2027, and a second focused on Sephiroth in spring 2028. Both are expected to follow the format established by Rebirth’s post-launch content, filling in character backstory that the main campaign doesn’t have room to cover in full. A Vincent-focused expansion in particular has been long-requested by fans, given how little screen time the character received across Remake and Rebirth relative to his significance in the original game’s optional content.

Simultaneous Multi-Platform Launch

Unlike Remake and Rebirth, which both launched first on PlayStation 5 before reaching other platforms later, Revelation is confirmed for day-one release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC simultaneously. That marks a notable shift in Square Enix’s release strategy for the trilogy, and should mean substantially less waiting for Xbox, Switch 2 and PC players who have previously had to sit out timed console exclusivity windows before getting to play.

UK Availability and Pre-Orders

Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be available in the UK at standard new-release pricing across all confirmed platforms, with pre-orders already open through PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop and Steam. As with Rebirth, expect a standard edition alongside a deluxe or digital deluxe edition bundling extra digital content such as additional outfits or in-game items, with UK retailers also stocking physical copies for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 at launch.

The Ending Everyone Is Debating

Rebirth’s 2024 conclusion left the fate of Aerith deliberately ambiguous, splitting the community into multiple competing theories about what the remake trilogy’s altered timeline means for the character going forward. Some read the ending as preserving the original story’s tragedy in a new form, while others believe the trilogy’s time-bending Whispers subplot is building toward a genuinely different outcome from the 1997 original. Square Enix has offered no direct confirmation either way, and the marketing for Revelation so far has carefully avoided settling the question, which if anything has only added to how closely the game’s launch is being watched.

How Revelation Compares to Remake and Rebirth

Each entry in the trilogy has taken a different structural approach: Remake was tightly linear and corridor-based, reflecting Midgar’s urban setting; Rebirth opened into large, explorable regional zones packed with side activities; and Revelation’s Highwind-centred, freely traversable structure suggests the most open format of the three so far. That progression mirrors the original 1997 game’s own structure, which similarly expanded from a linear opening into full world-map freedom by its final act, giving the remake trilogy a sense of escalating scale that has been part of its appeal since Remake’s launch.

Performance Modes and Technical Presentation

Both Remake and Rebirth shipped with selectable graphics and performance modes on PlayStation 5, letting players choose between higher-resolution visuals or a smoother frame rate, and Revelation is expected to offer the same choice across its console platforms, with Nintendo Switch 2 likely to run a scaled-back version of the game similar to how other major third-party releases have been adapted for that console. Full technical specifications, including PC system requirements, had not been published in detail at the time of writing, but Square Enix has historically released that information closer to launch.

Accessibility Features

Rebirth shipped with an extensive accessibility menu covering combat assist options, camera and control customisation, text size and colour-blind support, and Revelation is expected to carry that same commitment forward given Square Enix’s recent first-party track record. Series players who found earlier trilogy entries challenging due to reflex-heavy action combat should expect similar assist settings to be available from launch.

Community Anticipation and Critical Pressure

Few RPG releases in recent memory have carried as much scrutiny as this one. Rebirth’s 2024 ending was one of the most debated moments in the franchise’s history, splitting fans over how it handled one of the original game’s most iconic story beats, and that division has only sharpened anticipation for how Revelation resolves it. Square Enix is, in effect, closing out a project that started in 2020 and has spanned multiple console generations’ worth of expectation, meaning Revelation will be judged not just as a game in its own right but as the payoff for everything built up across Remake and Rebirth combined.

Why It Matters

The remake trilogy has been one of the most ambitious undertakings in modern game development, reimagining a single late-90s RPG as three full-scale, decade-spanning releases. Revelation carries the weight of paying off years of restructured story threads and fan theories built up since Remake’s original 2020 launch, making it one of the most anticipated releases on any platform in 2027. For Square Enix, successfully landing the ending of a project this scrutinised, after a hugely divisive cliffhanger in Rebirth, will go a long way toward shaping how the publisher approaches future remakes of its classic catalogue.

Playground Games — the studio behind the Forza Horizon series — has been working on its reboot of Fable for years, and after a delay that pushed it out of its original release window, Xbox has now locked in a firm date. Here is everything confirmed so far about release timing, platforms, story, gameplay systems and how this new Fable connects back to the beloved original trilogy.

Release Date

Fable launches on 23 February 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10/11 and Steam, with support for Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning a single purchase covers both console and PC. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, which is expected to make it one of the service’s biggest first-party launches of early 2027. UK players will be able to pre-load the game ahead of launch, and Microsoft has confirmed both a standard and a premium edition, the latter bundling early access to a small amount of in-game cosmetic content.

Setting and Premise

The game returns to Albion, described by Playground as “a living world,” and casts the player as “the first Hero in a generation.” The tone leans firmly into the series’ established mix of fairytale whimsy and dark humour — the official description promises “peculiar characters, dark humour, and chickens… lots of chickens” — alongside a tagline that undercuts the fairytale framing directly: “fairytale endings are never guaranteed.”

Unlike a direct sequel, this Fable is being positioned as a soft reboot: Albion is recognisable, with its rolling countryside, market towns and crumbling ruins, but generations have passed since the events of the original games, and the old Heroes of legend have faded into folklore. That framing gives Playground room to build a new cast and a new political landscape without being tied down by the endings of Fable II and Fable III.

Quick Facts

• Game: Fable
• Release date: 23 February 2027
• Developer: Playground Games
• Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
• Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10/11, Steam (Xbox Play Anywhere, Game Pass day one)
• Genre: Open-world action RPG
• Setting: Albion, generations after the original trilogy

The History of the Fable Franchise

To understand why this reboot carries so much weight, it helps to look back at where the series came from. The original Fable was released in 2004 on the original Xbox, developed by Lionhead Studios under Peter Molyneux and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It became known for its (at the time) groundbreaking promise of a world that reacted to player choice — good deeds and villainy both left a visible mark on the Hero’s appearance, and NPCs remembered how they had been treated.

Fable II (2008) expanded the formula with a loyal dog companion, co-op play and a much larger map, and is still regarded by many longtime fans as the high point of the series. Fable III (2010) pushed the political angle further, letting players become ruler of Albion and forcing them to weigh campaign promises against the practicalities of running a kingdom. A fourth mainline entry never materialised under Lionhead, and the studio was closed by Microsoft in 2016 after the poorly received spin-off Fable Legends was cancelled.

This new Fable, first revealed at an Xbox Games Showcase, is therefore the first mainline entry in the series in well over a decade, and the first ever made without Lionhead’s involvement. Handing the series to Playground Games — a studio with no prior RPG pedigree but an extremely strong track record for open-world design in the Forza Horizon games — was a deliberate bet by Xbox that fresh blood could modernise Fable’s systems while keeping its trademark British humour intact.

Gameplay

Fable combines character customisation with melee, ranged and magical combat, but the bigger emphasis is on the series’ long-running choice-driven systems: noble deeds and questionable decisions both affect relationships with individual villagers and can visibly reshape the world. Players can build wealth as landlords or blacksmiths, romance villagers and start families, all feeding into a reputation system where, in Playground’s words, “a Hero’s reputation is everything.” Combat brings back a mix of new enemies and franchise regulars, including Hobbes, Balverines and Trolls.

Character Customisation and Reputation

Fable has always tied its RPG progression to a visible morality and reputation system, and early gameplay showcases confirm that idea is back in expanded form. Rather than a single good-versus-evil slider, Playground has described a wider reputation system that tracks how individual settlements and characters perceive the Hero, meaning it’s possible to be beloved in one town and feared in another based on choices made there. Cosmetic changes — scarring, glowing eyes, weathered or regal clothing — are said to reflect this over time, continuing a tradition that goes back to the very first game.

Quests, NPCs and Humour

Playground has repeatedly stressed that Fable’s tone — witty, self-aware and often absurd — was a non-negotiable part of bringing the series back. Side quests shown in early footage lean into that reputation, including comedic detours that poke fun at typical fantasy-RPG tropes alongside more emotionally grounded stories about individual villagers. NPC interactions are built around dialogue choices and small favours that ripple outward, echoing the original trilogy’s approach of making Albion feel like a place with a memory, rather than a static backdrop for quests.

Voice acting has also been highlighted as a priority, with Playground assembling a large cast of British performers to give Albion’s villagers, merchants and rivals distinct personalities rather than generic filler dialogue. That focus matters more in Fable than in most RPGs, since so much of the series’ comedy and warmth has historically come from throwaway barks and side-conversations as much as from the main story.

The Road to Launch: Delays and Development

Fable’s journey hasn’t been entirely smooth. The game was originally understood to be targeting an earlier release window, but Xbox and Playground Games opted to push the date back rather than ship before the world, systems and performance were where they wanted them. That kind of delay has become increasingly common for ambitious open-world titles, and Xbox has generally been willing to absorb the short-term disappointment of a pushed date in exchange for a more polished launch, following high-profile lessons learned elsewhere in the industry from titles that shipped before they were ready. For a series with as much emotional goodwill riding on it as Fable, avoiding a rocky launch has clearly been treated as more important than hitting an earlier date.

Cross-Platform Play and Saves

Because Fable ships under Xbox Play Anywhere, progress carries over between Xbox consoles and Windows PC on a single purchase, with cloud saves keeping profiles in sync regardless of which device a player picks up. The separate Steam release is expected to function as its own version rather than being tied into Play Anywhere’s cross-save network, which is worth knowing for anyone planning to split time between a Steam library and an Xbox console. Achievements and Xbox-linked progress are expected to track normally across the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions.

An Open World Built by Forza Horizon’s Studio

Playground Games’ biggest selling point going into this project was its experience building sprawling, densely detailed open worlds under tight technical constraints, honed across five Forza Horizon titles. That pedigree is visible in the density of Albion shown so far — layered forests, weather and lighting that shift across a day-night cycle, and towns that are said to evolve visually depending on how the story unfolds around them. It is Playground’s first RPG, and by extension its first game built around narrative choice and combat rather than vehicles, which is precisely why Xbox paired the studio with veteran RPG writers and designers pulled in from elsewhere in the industry to shore up that side of development.

UK Availability, Pricing and Pre-Orders

As a first-party Xbox title, Fable will be available in the UK at standard new-release pricing across Xbox Series X|S, the Microsoft Store on PC and Steam, with Xbox Game Pass subscribers able to play it at no extra cost from the 23 February 2027 launch day. Physical retail copies are expected at major UK retailers alongside the digital release, and pre-orders for the digital edition are already open through the Xbox Store. As with other recent first-party Xbox releases, expect the standard edition to sit at the usual full-price tier for a major first-party title, with the premium edition priced above it in exchange for the early cosmetic unlocks and any digital extras bundled in.

Marketing Rollout and Reveal Timeline

Fable’s road to launch has been unusually long by modern standards. The reboot was first teased with a brief cinematic at an Xbox Games Showcase years before this confirmed release date, generating enormous goodwill on the strength of its tone and setting alone, well before any gameplay had been shown. Subsequent Xbox events filled in the gaps gradually: a longer cinematic reveal established the “first Hero in a generation” premise, followed later by the first extended gameplay deep dive showing exploration, combat and the reputation system in action. That slow drip of information, combined with a delay out of its original release window, has meant expectations have had a long time to build ahead of the confirmed February 2027 date.

How Fable Compares to Other Open-World RPGs

Fable arrives into a crowded field of choice-driven open-world RPGs, but its identity has always been distinct from grittier contemporaries. Where many modern fantasy RPGs lean into morally grey, high-stakes drama, Fable’s pitch has consistently been warmer and more comedic — slapstick humour, exaggerated character animation and a very British sense of irony sit alongside genuinely emotional character writing. Playground Games has been explicit that it wants to preserve that balance rather than chase a darker, more “prestige” fantasy tone, which is arguably the biggest risk and the biggest opportunity in bringing the series back: modern RPG audiences have shown they will reward strong systemic choice-and-consequence design, but Fable is betting that humour and charm can be just as commercially important as scale.

What to Expect From the Opening Hours

Based on footage shown at Xbox events so far, the opening stretch of Fable looks to prioritise establishing Albion’s tone before ramping up combat and systemic complexity — a structure fans of the earlier games will find familiar, since the original trilogy also used its early chapters to teach the morality and reputation systems through small, low-stakes choices before the stakes rise. Expect character creation, a guided introduction to the reputation mechanic through a handful of early quests, and an early taste of both combat and the property or trade systems that let players start building influence in a specific corner of Albion before the wider map opens up.

Community and Critical Anticipation

Few Xbox exclusives have carried the weight of expectation that this Fable has. Longtime fans of the original trilogy have spent more than a decade hoping for a proper continuation of the series’ particular strain of British fantasy comedy, and the announcement trailer alone generated an outsized wave of nostalgia-driven excitement when it first aired. That goodwill comes with real pressure: Playground Games is a studio with no prior RPG credentials stepping into a series whose reputation rests heavily on writing, humour and systemic choice rather than the open-world traversal and vehicle handling the studio is best known for. How well Fable balances Playground’s technical open-world strengths against the series’ narrative DNA is likely to be the single biggest factor in how it’s received at launch.

Accessibility and Options

Like most major first-party Xbox releases of this generation, Fable is expected to ship with a broad accessibility options menu, an area Microsoft has invested heavily in across its first-party lineup in recent years. While the full options list hasn’t been published in detail yet, expect the usual baseline of adjustable difficulty, subtitle and text-size customisation, and remappable controls, consistent with Xbox’s current first-party standards.

Why It Matters

The original Fable trilogy built a devoted following on its blend of humour, choice-driven storytelling and a genuinely lived-in fantasy world, and this reboot has been one of Xbox’s most closely watched exclusives since it was first announced. With Playground Games’ open-world pedigree from Forza Horizon and a release date now locked in after previous delays, February 2027 is shaping up to be a significant month for Xbox, and a serious test of whether Fable’s particular brand of British fairytale storytelling still resonates with a new generation of players. For Xbox specifically, which has leaned heavily on Game Pass day-one releases to justify subscriptions, a well-received Fable would be a significant win at a point where the platform badly needs a marquee, broadly appealing exclusive to sit alongside its shooters and racing games.

Star Wars: Ahsoka is returning for a second season right in the middle of Star Wars’ 50th anniversary celebrations, and the first teaser has confirmed both a release date and the scale of what’s coming: Grand Admiral Thrawn, back in force. Here’s everything confirmed so far about release timing, cast, story and how this season fits into the wider live-action Star Wars timeline.

Release Date

Ahsoka Season 2 premieres on Disney+ on 20 January 2027. Creator Dave Filoni continues to oversee the series, which picks up directly from Season 1’s cliffhanger ending.

Cast

Rosario Dawson returns as Ahsoka Tano, alongside Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger. Lars Mikkelsen reprises Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker in what’s described as a guiding, mentor-like role. Ariana Greenblatt also appears as a young Ahsoka.

Quick Facts

• Series: Star Wars: Ahsoka, Season 2
• Release date: 20 January 2027, Disney+
• Creator: Dave Filoni
• Cast: Rosario Dawson, Hayden Christensen, Lars Mikkelsen, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eman Esfandi, Ariana Greenblatt
• Follows on from: Ahsoka Season 1 (2023) and Star Wars Rebels

What’s the Story?

Season 2 centres Ahsoka on a fundamentally personal question — what it actually means to be a Jedi — while the external threat around her escalates sharply with Thrawn and the Imperial remnant closing in. Hayden Christensen has described Anakin’s role as continuing to advise and challenge Ahsoka from beyond, pushing her toward an answer. Cast members have been vocal about the scale of the season, with Ahsoka herself, Rosario Dawson, describing it as “massive,” with bigger battles and higher stakes than the first run.

Who Is Grand Admiral Thrawn?

For viewers newer to the franchise, Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of Star Wars’ most enduring villains, originally created for Timothy Zahn’s early-1990s Expanded Universe novels before being folded into the current official canon. He’s defined less by raw power than by strategy and patience — a master tactician who studies an opponent’s culture and art to predict their next move rather than relying on brute force. Thrawn was first reintroduced to canon in Star Wars Rebels, teased in live-action at the end of The Mandalorian, and finally paid off in the flesh at the close of Ahsoka’s first season, making Season 2 the moment the character has effectively been building toward across multiple shows and several years.

Official trailer still © Lucasfilm / Disney+.

How Ahsoka Fits Into the Wider Star Wars Timeline

Ahsoka is set after the fall of the Empire, in the same post-Return of the Jedi period as The Mandalorian, and its first season deliberately tied together threads from Star Wars Rebels, The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian into one continuous live-action story. Season 2 is expected to keep pulling on those same threads, with Thrawn’s return and the fate of the New Republic likely to intersect with plotlines seeded elsewhere in the current era of live-action Star Wars television.

Anakin’s Return and What It Means

Hayden Christensen’s continued presence as Anakin Skywalker has been one of the most closely followed threads of the show since Season 1 first depicted a version of Anakin existing in a liminal, World Between Worlds-style plane, mentoring Ahsoka rather than appearing as a straightforward flashback character. Season 2 is expected to lean further into that dynamic, with Christensen describing his role as continuing to push Ahsoka to confront her own doubts about what kind of Jedi, or non-Jedi, she wants to be, rather than functioning as a nostalgia cameo.

Sabine, Hera and Ezra: The Rebels Legacy

Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Hera Syndulla and Eman Esfandi’s Ezra Bridger all carry over directly from the animated Star Wars Rebels, making Ahsoka the first live-action showcase for that entire cast of characters. Season 1 ended with Ezra finally returned from years stranded in the distant Peridea alongside Sabine, and Season 2 is expected to deal directly with the fallout of that reunion, as well as Sabine’s own evolving relationship with the Force after the choices she made to get Ezra home.

Marketing Rollout for the 50th Anniversary

Lucasfilm unveiled the first Season 2 teaser at D23, timed deliberately to land during Star Wars’ 50th anniversary celebrations, giving the reveal considerably more weight than a standard trailer drop. The teaser confirmed the January 2027 release date and gave fans their clearest look yet at Thrawn’s forces in live action, generating a significant spike in fan discussion given how long the character has been teased across multiple shows before this point.

Dave Filoni’s Role and Creative Vision

Dave Filoni, who created Ahsoka Tano for The Clone Wars back in 2008 and has shepherded the character through multiple animated and live-action projects since, continues to write and direct on Season 2. Filoni has described Ahsoka as the culmination of storylines he has been building since Clone Wars, and the character’s live-action series has increasingly been treated by Lucasfilm as the connective thread tying its Filoni-era animated shows into the studio’s live-action future.

Ahsoka Tano’s Journey Across Star Wars

Few characters in modern Star Wars have as long or as winding a history as Ahsoka Tano. Introduced in 2008’s Clone Wars animated film as Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, she left the Jedi Order before the events of Revenge of the Sith, survived Order 66 thanks to that departure, and went on to play a major role in Rebels as a mentor figure to Sabine and Ezra. Her live-action debut came in The Mandalorian before headlining her own series in 2023, making Season 2 the latest chapter in what is, by Star Wars standards, an unusually long and carefully tracked character arc spanning animation and live action alike.

The World Between Worlds and Anakin’s Fate

Anakin’s appearances in Ahsoka draw on the show’s take on the World Between Worlds, a liminal dimension outside normal time first introduced in Star Wars Rebels, where Force-sensitive beings can exist and interact outside the normal rules of life and death. It’s a deliberately ambiguous setup that has let the show use Christensen’s Anakin as an active mentor figure rather than a purely nostalgic flashback, and Season 2 is expected to dig further into exactly what that means for Ahsoka’s own understanding of the Force and her place within it.

UK Availability and How to Watch

Ahsoka Season 2 will be available to UK Disney+ subscribers as part of their existing subscription from the 20 January 2027 release date. Season 1, along with the animated series Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars that set up much of Season 2’s cast and backstory, remains available to stream in full on Disney+ for anyone wanting to catch up beforehand.

How Ahsoka Compares to Other Star Wars Disney+ Shows

Ahsoka sits within a loose but increasingly connected group of live-action Star Wars series set in the years after Return of the Jedi, alongside The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Where The Mandalorian has largely told smaller, self-contained bounty-hunter stories, Ahsoka has leaned into being the show that pays off decades of animated continuity, and Season 2’s focus on Thrawn continues that trend by resolving a plot thread that stretches all the way back to Star Wars Rebels rather than introducing an entirely new threat.

Scale and Scope: What Cast Members Have Said

Beyond Rosario Dawson’s description of the season as “massive,” other cast members have hinted at a larger-scale production than Season 1, with bigger set pieces and space battles reflecting the full-scale war footing that Thrawn’s return implies. That scale increase tracks with how the show has been positioned within Lucasfilm’s current live-action slate, expected to serve as one of the larger, more consequential entries in the connected Mandalorian-era shows airing around this point.

Visual Style and Practical Effects

Ahsoka’s first season was praised for leaning on practical sets, puppetry and location shooting alongside its visual effects work, a house style shared across Lucasfilm’s current run of live-action Star Wars television. Filoni has spoken about wanting Season 2’s larger space-battle sequences to retain that same grounded, tactile quality rather than leaning entirely on digital spectacle, continuing an approach that has become something of a signature for the modern live-action shows produced under this creative team.

Music and Score

Kevin Kiner, who scored The Clone Wars, Rebels and Ahsoka’s first season, returns to compose Season 2, continuing a musical throughline that stretches back to Ahsoka’s earliest animated appearances. That continuity matters more here than in most Star Wars spin-offs, since Kiner’s scores have consistently woven in musical motifs tied to specific characters across nearly two decades of Ahsoka’s on-screen history, reinforcing the sense that Season 2 is paying off a very long-running story.

Accessibility and Family Viewing

As with other Disney+ Star Wars originals, Ahsoka ships with standard platform accessibility features including multi-language subtitles and audio description where available. The show’s tone sits slightly more mature than some Disney+ Star Wars content, reflecting its position within a darker, more war-focused stretch of the franchise’s current live-action timeline, though it remains within the broadly family-friendly bounds typical of the platform’s Star Wars output.

Why It Matters

Thrawn has been one of the most anticipated live-action Star Wars villains for years, first teased back in The Mandalorian and paid off at the end of Ahsoka’s first season. A full second season built around his return, arriving during Star Wars’ 50th anniversary year, is shaping up to be one of the franchise’s biggest live-action events since The Mandalorian’s debut, and a meaningful test of how well Lucasfilm can pay off years of connected animated and live-action storytelling in a single season.

Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been one of the more dependable young-adult adaptations on streaming, and its third season — adapting Rick Riordan’s The Titan’s Curse — now has a confirmed release date, arriving nearly a year on from Season 2. Here’s everything confirmed so far about release timing, cast, story and why this particular book has fans especially excited.

Release Date

Season 3 lands on Disney+ on 20 November 2026, with all eight episodes rolling out weekly rather than as a single binge-release batch, matching the pattern set by the show’s first two seasons. That weekly structure has become one of the show’s defining traits, giving each instalment room to breathe and generating a week-on-week conversation among the books’ large fan community rather than the story disappearing in a single binge weekend.

Cast

The core trio returns: Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, alongside Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan and Daniel Diemer as Tyson. Dior Goodjohn returns as Clarisse La Rue, and the Olympian side of the cast adds some notable names: Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite, Hubert Smielecki as Apollo and Ming-Na Wen as Hera.

Quick Facts

• Series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Season 3
• Release date: 20 November 2026, Disney+
• Adapts: The Titan’s Curse (2007)
• Episodes: 8, released weekly
• Cast: Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Daniel Diemer, Dior Goodjohn, Kate McKinnon, Hubert Smielecki, Ming-Na Wen
• Showrunner: Rick Riordan (co-creator and executive producer)

Teaser trailer still © Disney+.

What’s the Story?

True to its source material, Season 3 kicks off with Annabeth Chase kidnapped, forcing Percy and Grover into a rescue mission that pulls in a new cast of demigods and Olympians along the way. The Titan’s Curse is a fan-favourite entry in Riordan’s original book series, introducing several characters who go on to play major roles later in the saga, so how faithfully the show handles this instalment is likely to be closely watched by longtime readers.

Why The Titan’s Curse Matters to the Books’ Fans

Within Rick Riordan’s five-book original series, The Titan’s Curse holds a special place. It’s the book where the stakes visibly escalate beyond school-year monster-of-the-week adventures into a genuine, franchise-spanning war between the gods and the Titans, and it introduces Thalia Grace and the Hunters of Artemis, plus deepens Nico di Angelo’s role ahead of his much larger part in later books. Fans of the novels have been waiting to see how the show handles Bianca di Angelo’s arc in particular, since her fate in this book is one of the more emotionally significant moments in the whole series and a real tonal shift for a show that started out considerably lighter.

Teaser trailer still © Disney+.

New and Returning Characters

Beyond the returning core cast, The Titan’s Curse introduces several characters who become central to the wider Percy Jackson universe. Expect the show to bring in Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus and a founding member of the demigod trio at the heart of Riordan’s later Heroes of Olympus series, alongside General Artemis and her Hunters. Kate McKinnon’s casting as Aphrodite has already generated plenty of chatter among fans given how comedically the character is written in the books, while Hubert Smielecki takes on Apollo, a role that combines comic relief with genuine heart in Riordan’s writing.

Teaser trailer still © Disney+.

Bianca di Angelo and the Season’s Emotional Core

Without spoiling specifics for viewers unfamiliar with the books, The Titan’s Curse is widely remembered by readers as the point where Percy Jackson stopped being a purely lighthearted adventure series and started dealing more directly with loss and consequence. Nico and Bianca di Angelo, introduced as new characters this season, are central to that shift, and how the show handles their arc is expected to be one of the most closely watched creative decisions of the season among longtime readers of the books.

How the Show Has Handled the Books So Far

Part of why Percy Jackson and the Olympians has built such a loyal following on Disney+ is Rick Riordan’s direct involvement as showrunner, a level of creative control the original 2010s film adaptations never had, and which many book fans blame for those films’ poor reception at the time. Season 1 adapted The Lightning Thief with a slower, more faithful pace than a two-hour film ever could, and Season 2 followed the same approach with The Sea of Monsters, expanding side characters and subplots the films had cut entirely. That track record is a big part of why expectations for The Titan’s Curse are so high — it’s widely seen as the book where the series really finds its dramatic footing.

D23 2026 teaser trailer still © Disney+.

Costume and Set Design for a Wintry Quest

The Titan’s Curse takes Percy and his friends across a chillier, more rugged stretch of the American landscape than earlier seasons, and set and costume design shown in early marketing material reflects that shift — heavier winter clothing, snow-dusted forests and more imposing mythological architecture for the season’s Olympian set pieces. It’s a visual departure the production has clearly leaned into deliberately, using the change in scenery to reinforce the more serious tone of the book it’s adapting.

Production and Filming

As with the previous two seasons, Season 3 was produced with Disney Branded Television, continuing the partnership that has kept Riordan closely involved in casting, scripts and overall creative direction. The production has leaned into practical location shooting alongside visual effects work for the show’s larger mythological set pieces, a combination that has helped the series avoid feeling overly stage-bound despite its demanding budget-per-episode constraints relative to a full theatrical adaptation.

Marketing Rollout and Reveal Timeline

Disney unveiled the first look at Season 3 with a teaser at D23, the company’s biennial fan event, generating an immediate wave of reaction from the book fandom given how visually distinct The Titan’s Curse’s snowy, wintry setting is compared to the sunnier tone of the first two seasons. A fuller trailer followed closer to the announced release date, showing more of the season’s central rescue mission and giving the first proper look at several of the new Olympian and demigod characters joining the cast. That staged rollout — teaser first, fuller trailer closer to launch — has become the standard pattern Disney has used to build anticipation for each of the show’s seasons so far.

Where the Story Fits in the Wider Riordanverse

Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books were only the beginning of what fans now refer to as the “Riordanverse” — a shared universe that expanded through the sequel series Heroes of Olympus, which follows Thalia Grace, Nico di Angelo and other characters first introduced in The Titan’s Curse. Casting and introducing those characters properly in Season 3 is widely seen by fans as Disney laying groundwork for a much longer adaptation than just the original five books, assuming the show continues to be renewed.

Tone Shift: A Darker, Snowier Story

Visually and tonally, The Titan’s Curse marks a deliberate departure from the brighter, more adventure-of-the-week feel of the first two seasons. Much of the book takes place in a colder, more wintry setting, and the stakes of the central quest are framed as more urgent and personal than Percy’s earlier adventures, with a ticking clock hanging over the rescue mission at the story’s centre. Early trailer footage has leaned into that shift, favouring darker lighting and a more serious tone than the marketing for Seasons 1 and 2.

UK Availability and How to Watch

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 will be available to UK Disney+ subscribers as part of their existing subscription, with new episodes releasing weekly on the same day as the US rollout. Seasons 1 and 2 remain available to stream in full for anyone wanting to catch up before Season 3 begins on 20 November 2026.

Reception and Fan Anticipation

The show has built a loyal audience by sticking close to Riordan’s books rather than taking the kind of liberties that sank earlier film adaptations of the series, and The Titan’s Curse is widely regarded as a turning point in the original novels. Online fan communities built around the book series have been particularly vocal in anticipation of this season, given how significant the source material is to the wider Percy Jackson mythology, and casting reveals for characters like Thalia Grace have generated substantial discussion since they were first announced.

Comparisons to the Heroes of Olympus Sequel Series

Readers who have followed Riordan’s wider bibliography know that The Titan’s Curse functions almost as a soft launchpad for Heroes of Olympus, the five-book sequel series that follows an expanded roster of demigods including Thalia, Nico, Jason Grace and Piper McLean. How Season 3 sets up Thalia’s eventual role as a Hunter of Artemis, and how much groundwork it lays for Nico’s much larger part later on, will likely be read by fans as an early signal of Disney’s appetite for continuing the adaptation well beyond the original five Percy Jackson novels.

What Comes After Season 3

With five original Percy Jackson novels forming the show’s initial backbone, and Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus series waiting as a natural continuation beyond that, Season 3’s introduction of characters like Thalia Grace is widely read by fans as long-term franchise-building rather than a one-off. Disney has not formally confirmed how many seasons are planned beyond Season 3, but the pace of one book per season so far suggests a long-running adaptation if the show continues to perform well.

Music and Score

The series has used an orchestral score to underline its mythological scale since Season 1, and marketing material for Season 3 has continued that approach, pairing sweeping themes with the trailer’s snowier visuals to signal the more dramatic turn the story is taking. Music has consistently been one of the more understated strengths of the adaptation, helping it feel closer in tone to a big-budget fantasy production than its television budget might otherwise suggest.

Accessibility and Family Viewing

As a Disney+ original aimed largely at a young-adult and family audience, Percy Jackson and the Olympians ships with the platform’s standard accessibility features, including subtitles in multiple languages and audio description tracks where available. The show’s PG-rated tone has remained broadly consistent across its first two seasons, and while The Titan’s Curse leans into heavier material than earlier instalments, Disney+ has generally kept the series accessible to the same family audience that made the books bestsellers in the first place.

Why It Matters

The show has built a loyal audience by sticking close to Riordan’s books rather than taking the kind of liberties that sank earlier film adaptations of the series, and The Titan’s Curse is widely regarded as a turning point in the original novels. With a nearly year-long gap since Season 2, expectations are high that Season 3 delivers on the darker, higher-stakes turn the source material takes, and how well it lands could shape Disney’s confidence in carrying the adaptation all the way through to Riordan’s later series.

Legendary’s MonsterVerse isn’t slowing down. Following the record-breaking success of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which became the franchise’s highest-grossing entry at $571.9 million worldwide, a sequel was inevitable — and it now has both a title and a confirmed release date.

Release Date

Godzilla x Kong: Supernova opens in cinemas and IMAX on 26 March 2027, produced jointly by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment as the sixth instalment in the modern MonsterVerse.

New Director, Returning Cast

The biggest behind-the-camera change is at the top: Adam Wingard, who directed the previous three MonsterVerse entries, has stepped aside, with Australian filmmaker Grant Sputore — best known for the 2019 sci-fi thriller I Am Mother — taking over. On screen, Dan Stevens returns as fan-favourite Trapper Beasley, joined by a substantial new ensemble: Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo as a Monarch boss, Matthew Modine as a general, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Sam Neill.

Quick Facts

• Film: Godzilla x Kong: Supernova
• Release date: 26 March 2027
• Director: Grant Sputore
• Studios: Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures
• Cast: Dan Stevens, Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Sam Neill

What’s the Plot?

Warner Bros. and Legendary haven’t released an official synopsis yet, but outgoing director Wingard has suggested the sequel could push deeper into Godzilla’s own character development, mirroring how The New Empire spent much of its focus on Kong. The title itself has fuelled plenty of fan speculation, with a cosmic or extraterrestrial threat widely assumed — SpaceGodzilla, the crystalline, psychically-powered Godzilla clone introduced in 1994’s Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, is the most popular theory going around, though nothing has been officially confirmed.

Why It Matters

The New Empire proved there’s still a substantial global audience for the MonsterVerse when it leans into spectacle, and a new director stepping in after three consecutive entries is the clearest sign yet that Legendary is treating this as a long-term franchise rather than a trilogy with a natural endpoint. With filming details and a full synopsis still to come, expect more concrete story information as the March 2027 date gets closer.

Nintendo has spent decades being famously protective of The Legend of Zelda, which is what makes it genuinely notable that a live-action adaptation isn’t just happening but now has a confirmed release date and a director with real blockbuster pedigree attached. Wes Ball, who steered Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes to a franchise-revitalising box office run, is directing what Sony Pictures and Nintendo are clearly treating as a full-scale tentpole rather than a cautious licensing experiment.

Release Date

The Legend of Zelda is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 30 April 2027. Nintendo and Sony have confirmed that principal photography has already wrapped, with the production now moving into what is expected to be a lengthy post-production and visual effects process — unsurprising for a fantasy adaptation built around Hyrule’s landscapes and creatures. Barring the kind of delay that has already hit several other 2027 tentpoles, this date looks solid.

Cast

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth takes on Link, with Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda — both relative newcomers, in keeping with Nintendo’s reported preference for actors audiences won’t immediately associate with other franchises. Uli Latukefu plays Ganondorf, Dichen Lachman is set to appear as Impa, and Yvonne Strahovski has been cast in an as-yet-undisclosed queen role. Nintendo’s direct creative involvement in the production — unusual for the historically hands-off company — suggests a level of oversight closer to how it treated the Super Mario Bros. Movie than a typical studio licensing deal.

Quick Facts

• Film: The Legend of Zelda
• Release date: 30 April 2027 (worldwide)
• Director: Wes Ball
• Studios: Sony Pictures and Nintendo
• Cast: Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Link), Bo Bragason (Princess Zelda), Uli Latukefu (Ganondorf), Dichen Lachman (Impa), Yvonne Strahovski

What We Know About the Story

Plot details remain tightly under wraps, in keeping with Nintendo’s usual approach, and no synopsis has been officially released. Early marketing and the first-look images that surfaced in late 2025 lean into the series’ core fantasy-adventure identity rather than any single game’s specific storyline, suggesting this is less a direct adaptation of one Zelda title and more a distillation of the franchise’s broader mythology — Hyrule, the Triforce, and the long-running conflict between Link, Zelda and Ganondorf.

Why It Matters

Live-action video game adaptations have had a genuinely mixed track record, but the ones that have worked — Sonic the Hedgehog, most obviously the Super Mario Bros. Movie’s animated take — have generally succeeded by respecting what made the source material popular rather than working against it. Given how protective Nintendo has been of Zelda specifically, and how directly involved the company is in this production, expectations are cautiously high that this will be treated as a faithful, earnest take on Hyrule rather than a loose reinterpretation. With production complete and a firm 2027 date now on the calendar, it’s one of the clearer countdowns on next year’s release schedule.

The post The Legend of Zelda Movie: Release Date, Cast and Everything We Know appeared first on Filmoria.

Every year the release calendar gets called “the biggest ever,” and most years that’s marketing talk. This time it’s genuinely difficult to argue with – between now and the end of 2027, we’re getting a new mainline Grand Theft Auto, remakes or remasters of several stone-cold classics, and long-awaited sequels to some of the last decade’s most acclaimed RPGs. We’ve gone through what’s confirmed across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and picked out what genuinely deserves your attention rather than just your awareness.

As with any release calendar this far out, a caveat is worth stating plainly up front: game development delays are common enough that treating any of the dates below as absolutely fixed would be naive, particularly for anything scheduled into 2027. We’ve sourced every date here from the most recent official publisher and developer confirmations available at the time of writing, and we’ll keep this page updated if anything shifts, which, on a list this size, something inevitably will.

Quick List: What’s Actually Worth Pre-Ordering

If you’re short on time, here’s the condensed version. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered (29 September) and Silent Hill: Townfall (24 September) kick off a busy final quarter of 2026. October brings Gears of War: E-Day (6 October), a prequel telling the story of the original Gears war, alongside Kingdom Hearts Collection (8 October) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (23 October). November is dominated by two genuinely massive releases landing within a fortnight of each other: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake (5 November) and, on 19 November, Grand Theft Auto VI – the single most anticipated video game release in years, by any measure. Looking into 2027, keep God of War: Laufey, Persona 4 Revival, Fable 4 and Final Fantasy VII: Revelation on your radar.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered (29 September)

More than a decade after its original release, The Witcher 3 remains one of the most consistently acclaimed open-world RPGs ever made, and this remaster arrives across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and, notably, Switch 2 – putting Geralt’s full open-world adventure on a Nintendo handheld for the first time in a technically serious way rather than a compromised port. For newcomers who’ve only played Cyberpunk 2077 or watched the Netflix series, this remains the best way to understand why CD Projekt Red built the reputation it did. For returning players, the appeal is simpler: an excuse to revisit Novigrad and Skellige with updated visuals and quality-of-life fixes that the original never had.

Silent Hill: Townfall (24 September)

Konami’s ongoing Silent Hill revival continues with Townfall, developed by No Code, the studio behind the acclaimed Observation. Following the well-received Silent Hill 2 remake, expectations for the franchise have genuinely recovered after a long, difficult period during which fans openly doubted Konami’s commitment to the series. Early details suggest Townfall leans into a more original, standalone story rather than another remake, which is arguably the bigger test of whether this revival has real creative legs beyond mining nostalgia.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve (2 October)

Official artwork © Bandai Namco, via Steam.

Bandai Namco’s arcade flight-combat series returns, continuing a franchise that’s built a small but devoted following through its distinctive blend of accessible arcade dogfighting and surprisingly earnest, melodramatic storytelling. It’s not chasing the audience of the genre’s biggest names, and that’s rather the point – Ace Combat has carved out a lane nothing else in gaming currently occupies.

Gears of War: E-Day (6 October)

Official artwork © Xbox Game Studios, via Steam.

Rather than continuing the numbered mainline story, The Coalition is going backwards with E-Day, dramatising the original Emergence Day – the moment the Locust Horde first surfaced and the human-Locust war began, a event the series has only ever referenced in flashback and lore up to this point. For a franchise that’s always had strong mechanical bones but occasionally shaky narrative ambition, going back to the story’s actual origin point is a smart way to inject fresh stakes into a seventeen-year-old setting.

Kingdom Hearts Collection (8 October)

Square Enix bundles the notoriously convoluted Kingdom Hearts series – a saga that’s sprawled across mainline entries, handheld spin-offs and mobile games with a plot dense enough to need its own wiki – into a single collection for Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. For anyone who bounced off the series originally simply because tracking down every instalment across a decade of different platforms was its own quest, this is the most accessible the series has ever been.

Dragon’s Dogma II (9 October, Switch 2)

Official artwork © Capcom, via Steam.

Capcom brings its acclaimed action-RPG sequel to Switch 2, following strong releases on PC and other consoles. Dragon’s Dogma has always had a cult, slightly unusual reputation – a game built around unpredictable physics-driven combat, a pawn AI companion system nothing else has really replicated, and a sense of genuine danger in its open world that more polished, safer RPGs often lack. Getting it onto a portable Nintendo system is a smart way to introduce it to an audience that might have missed it the first time round.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (23 October)

Official artwork © Activision, via Steam.

Activision’s annual juggernaut returns, continuing the rebooted Modern Warfare storyline across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. Whatever your feelings on the series’ yearly release cadence, Call of Duty remains one of the few games genuinely capable of dominating the cultural conversation around gaming for weeks at a time, and this instalment’s multiplayer and Warzone integration will be the thing most of its audience actually cares about, well ahead of the campaign.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake (5 November)

Widely regarded as one of the most influential video games ever made, Ocarina of Time gets a full remake for Switch 2, more than a quarter-century after its original release defined 3D action-adventure game design for a generation of developers. The pressure on a remake like this is unusual: it’s not just about modernising visuals, but about deciding how much of the original’s deliberately paced, occasionally obtuse design philosophy to preserve versus streamline for modern expectations. Get that balance right and this could be one of the best received releases of the entire year.

Metaphor: ReFantazio (12 November, Switch 2)

Official artwork © Atlus / Sega, via Steam.

Studio Zero’s critically adored fantasy strategy-RPG, from key members of the team behind the Persona series, comes to Switch 2 following its acclaimed original release. Metaphor took the social-simulation-meets-turn-based-combat formula Persona built its reputation on and moved it into an original fantasy setting with sharper political commentary than the series it grew out of, and that combination earned it some of the strongest critical reception of any RPG in recent memory.

Grand Theft Auto VI (19 November)

There isn’t much left to say about GTA VI that hasn’t already been said in the years since its first trailer broke every online viewing record on arrival. Rockstar’s return to Vice City, more than a decade after GTA V, carries a level of anticipation that’s genuinely difficult to compare to anything else in the medium’s history – the closest recent equivalent is probably GTA V itself. The dual-protagonist structure, built around Lucia and Jason, is the biggest narrative departure the series has made since it introduced multiple playable characters in GTA V, and the sheer scale of the marketing rollout suggests Rockstar and parent company Take-Two are treating this as not just a game launch but a cultural event on the scale of a major film release. Whether it can actually meet nine years of accumulated expectation is the single biggest open question in gaming right now – but even skeptics generally agree Rockstar has earned enough trust from GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 to be given the benefit of the doubt.

It’s also worth remembering just how much the games industry itself has changed since GTA V released back in 2013. Live-service monetisation, battle passes and always-online multiplayer economies have reshaped what players expect from a major open-world release, and Rockstar has been notably quiet on exactly how GTA Online’s successor will handle microtransactions within the new setting. GTA Online became an extraordinarily lucrative ongoing revenue stream for Take-Two over the last decade, reportedly generating more revenue in some years than the base game itself, so however Rockstar structures Vice City’s online mode is likely to say a great deal about the direction the wider industry takes for the rest of the decade. That makes GTA VI not just the biggest single release on this list, but arguably the most closely watched business case study in gaming as well.

Looking Into 2027

Once the GTA VI dust settles, early 2027 has its own strong case for one of the best opening quarters gaming has had in years.

God of War: Laufey (16 February 2027) continues Kratos’ Norse saga following Ragnarök, with the title itself – Laufey being Loki’s birth name in Norse mythology – suggesting a much sharper focus on Atreus’s ongoing identity arc than the last two instalments managed. Persona 4 Revival (18 February 2027) brings Atlus’s beloved small-town mystery RPG back with a full ground-up revival, following the successful template Persona 3 Reload set for modernising the series’ older entries without losing what made them distinctive. A week later, Fable 4 (23 February 2027) marks Xbox’s highest-profile attempt yet to revive one of its most beloved but long-dormant first-party franchises, a British fantasy-comedy RPG series that’s been absent for the better part of fifteen years and carries a huge amount of goodwill still attached to its name.

Then in April, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation continues Square Enix’s ambitious three-part remake project, following Remake and Rebirth’s critically acclaimed reimagining of the 1997 classic. If the trilogy’s pacing so far is any indication, Revelation is likely to be the darkest and most narratively ambitious instalment yet, covering the back half of the original game’s story – territory that includes some of the most discussed and, for long-time fans, most emotionally loaded moments in the entire franchise’s history.

What We’re Actually Most Excited For

GTA VI is the obvious, unavoidable answer to “what’s the biggest release,” and there’s little point pretending otherwise – nothing else on this list is being discussed with anywhere near the same intensity. But if we’re picking the release most likely to be genuinely excellent rather than simply enormous, it’s a tighter race between the Ocarina of Time remake and Final Fantasy VII: Revelation. Both are handling material with decades of accumulated fan expectation attached, and both have development teams with a recent track record – the FF7 remake trilogy so far, Nintendo’s recent remaster work – that suggests they understand exactly what made the originals special in the first place, rather than treating a beloved back catalogue purely as a nostalgia cash-in.

Fable 4 is the wildcard worth watching most closely. Xbox has invested heavily in first-party exclusives recently with genuinely mixed results, and a franchise this beloved returning after such a long absence could either be a genuine console-seller or a cautionary tale about how difficult it is to revive dormant IP without the original creative voices attached. We’ll know a great deal more once substantial gameplay is shown.

Metaphor: ReFantazio also deserves a specific mention here, if only because it’s already been released once, to considerable critical acclaim, on other platforms before this Switch 2 version. That makes it the safest recommendation on this entire list in one specific sense: there’s no guesswork involved in whether it’s any good, only in how well it runs on Nintendo’s newer hardware. For anyone who owns a Switch 2 and skipped it the first time round, that removes essentially all of the risk that comes with every other title covered here.

What About Indie and Mid-Budget Releases?

It’s easy for a release calendar this stacked with blockbusters to crowd out everything else, but the same window covers hundreds of smaller titles, and a handful are worth flagging specifically. Ace Combat 8 already straddles that line, being a AA release from a major publisher rather than a true tentpole, and its continued existence in a market dominated by open-world giants is worth celebrating on its own terms. Beyond the games with confirmed dates covered above, autumn and winter release windows have historically been strong for smaller narrative-driven and roguelike titles specifically because they’re not trying to compete head-on with the AAA giants for the same weekend of attention – instead launching in the quieter gaps between them. If you’re the sort of player who finds the sheer scale of something like GTA VI exhausting rather than exciting, keep an eye on your storefront’s indie and upcoming-releases tab through October and January specifically, which tend to be the two quietest stretches of any given release calendar and therefore the best time for a smaller game to actually get noticed.

UK Pricing and Pre-Order Considerations

Full-price new releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S currently sit around £70 in the UK for most major first-party and third-party tentpoles, with GTA VI widely expected to launch at or above that price point given its scale and the near-decade of development behind it – Rockstar has not confirmed final UK pricing at the time of writing. Switch 2 titles have generally landed in a similar bracket for major first-party Nintendo releases, though third-party ports like The Witcher 3 Remastered and Dragon’s Dogma II are typically priced in line with their PS5 and Xbox equivalents rather than at a premium. Pre-ordering physical copies from UK retailers rather than digital storefronts remains the more budget-friendly route for anyone planning to buy several of the biggest titles on this list, since physical pricing tends to see earlier and steeper discounting once a release is a few weeks old, whereas digital pricing on PSN, the Xbox Store and Nintendo’s eShop tends to hold firm at full price for considerably longer.

Platform Breakdown: What’s Coming Where

For anyone deciding where to spend limited gaming budget, it’s worth noting how the releases above split by platform. GTA VI, Call of Duty and Gears of War: E-Day are the marquee console and PC titles with no Switch 2 version currently confirmed. Nintendo’s newer, more powerful Switch 2 hardware, meanwhile, is turning out to be a genuinely strong home for major third-party ports rather than just first-party exclusives – The Witcher 3, Dragon’s Dogma II and Metaphor: ReFantazio all arriving on the platform this autumn is a meaningfully different strategy from the original Switch’s far more limited and compromised third-party support. If you’re debating an upgrade purely to play this wave of games, Switch 2’s ability to run genuinely demanding, recent releases with only modest visual compromises is a stronger pitch than most reviewers expected at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is GTA VI actually coming out?
Grand Theft Auto VI is currently scheduled for 19 November 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, following a prior delay from its originally announced 2025 window. As with any major release this size, it’s worth watching for official confirmation as the date approaches.

Is GTA VI coming to PC or Switch 2 at launch?
No PC or Switch 2 version has been confirmed for launch. Rockstar has historically released PC versions of its games some time after the initial console launch, so a PC release, if it follows that pattern, would be expected considerably later.

Is the Ocarina of Time remake a full remake or a remaster?
It’s being developed as a full remake for Switch 2, rebuilding the game rather than simply upscaling the original’s assets and resolution.

Do I need to have played the previous Persona games to enjoy Persona 4 Revival?
No. Each mainline Persona entry, including the original Persona 4, tells a self-contained story with its own cast and setting, so Revival is a fine starting point for newcomers to the series.

Which of these games are coming to Nintendo Switch 2?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, Dragon’s Dogma II, Kingdom Hearts Collection, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and Metaphor: ReFantazio all have confirmed Switch 2 releases within the window covered here.

How reliable are these release dates?
We’ve based every date on the most recent publisher-confirmed scheduling available at time of writing. Big-budget game development is notoriously prone to delays, so treat anything more than a few months out as a strong current estimate rather than a guarantee, and we’ll update this page if any of these dates shift.

We’ll be updating this list as more of 2027’s release calendar firms up, and reviewing each of these in full as they launch – check back for our verdict on whether they lived up to the hype.

The post Upcoming Games: Every Major Release Worth Knowing About Right Now appeared first on Filmoria.

Streaming release calendars move fast, and platforms don’t always shout equally loudly about everything they’re putting out. Some of the biggest titles below arrive with wall-to-wall marketing; others will simply appear in your recommendations one morning with barely a press release behind them. We’ve pulled together the shows and films across the major UK-available platforms that are genuinely worth planning your evenings around, organised by service so you can jump straight to whichever one you’re subscribed to.

We’ve deliberately focused on the four services with the biggest UK subscriber bases and the busiest upcoming slates – Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Disney+ – rather than trying to cover every platform with a UK presence. If you’re also weighing up NOW, Paramount+ or a Sky subscription, most of their biggest upcoming originals tend to be announced closer to release than the streamers covered here, so we’ll be covering those separately as their own autumn and winter schedules firm up.

Netflix: A Genuinely Stacked Autumn

Netflix has leaned increasingly hard into a “something for everyone, every week” release strategy rather than spacing its biggest titles out, and this stretch of the calendar is a good example of that approach in full swing – a literary awards contender, two distinct flavours of genre horror, a returning political thriller, an action-satire two-hander, a hugely anticipated anime sequel and a beloved heist series, all within roughly a three-week window.

Netflix’s October slate is doing a lot of heavy lifting this year, mixing awards-season literary adaptation with pulpy genre thrills – a combination the platform has leaned into more confidently since realising prestige alone doesn’t always retain subscribers the way a good horror series does.

East of Eden (Limited Series, 1 October)

An adaptation of John Steinbeck’s sprawling generational epic is a genuinely ambitious swing for a streaming limited series, and casting Florence Pugh at the centre of it signals Netflix is treating this as a serious awards contender rather than counterprogramming. Steinbeck’s novel covers decades and multiple generations of two families across California’s Salinas Valley, retelling the Cain and Abel story in an American frontier setting – dense, morally knotty material that could make for one of the year’s most substantial limited series if the adaptation holds its nerve rather than smoothing the book’s harder edges down.

Below (Limited Series, 8 October)

Josh Hartnett has quietly built one of the more interesting late-career pivots in recent memory, gravitating toward exactly this kind of atmospheric genre material. Below is a supernatural thriller centred on a coastal town menaced by something living in the water – a premise that leans on slow-burn dread rather than jump scares, going by early marketing, and one that fits neatly into Netflix’s recent pattern of investing in limited horror series rather than committing to open-ended seasons.

Animals (Film, 9 October)

Ben Affleck directs and stars in this political thriller alongside Kerry Washington and Gillian Anderson, centred on a mayoral candidate and his wife forced into increasingly desperate territory after their son is kidnapped. Affleck’s directing work – Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo – has consistently been stronger than his more mixed run as a leading man in recent years, so a project where he’s doing both is worth watching regardless of how the trailers land.

The Diplomat, Season 4 (15 October)

Keri Russell’s Emmy-winning political thriller returns for a fourth run, continuing to mine the gap between the glossy surface of international diplomacy and the chaos underneath it. Few shows have managed to make procedural politics feel this tense on a weekly basis, and with three strong seasons of goodwill behind it, this is as close to a guaranteed watch as Netflix’s current lineup gets.

Sacrifice (Film, 16 October)

Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy headline this action-satire, with both actors caught in a hostage situation at a charity gala that escalates into something considerably stranger than a standard thriller premise suggests. Evans has been actively seeking out roles that push against his more earnest, all-American image since leaving the MCU behind, and pairing him with an actor as consistently interesting as Taylor-Joy is reason enough to take notice.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (Anime, 20 October)

The original Edgerunners was a genuine phenomenon – a ten-episode anime tie-in that ended up being better received than the game it was based on, and credited with driving a significant late surge of interest and sales for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. A sequel arrives with enormous expectations attached, and Studio Trigger’s kinetic, hyper-stylised animation remains one of the more distinctive visual signatures in modern anime. Night City fans have been waiting a long time for this one.

Lupin, Part 4 (23 October)

Omar Sy returns as Assane Diop for another chapter of Netflix’s stylish, globally popular heist series, loosely inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s classic gentleman-thief novels. Lupin has been one of Netflix’s most consistent non-English-language success stories since it launched, and Sy’s charisma continues to be the show’s biggest asset, carrying plots that occasionally strain credibility on charm alone.

Apple TV+: Smaller Slate, Bigger Swings

Apple’s streaming output has always favoured quality over sheer volume, and its autumn lineup keeps that pattern going with a small handful of star-driven projects rather than a wide net of new series.

Matchbox: The Movie (9 October)

Based on the Mattel toy line, in the same spirit as the studio-hopping success of the Barbie and forthcoming Hot Wheels adaptations, Matchbox brings John Cena into an action-adventure built around the die-cast toy brand. It’s an unabashedly commercial, family-friendly bet, and given how well the toy-adaptation trend has performed when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, this looks like a reasonably safe one for Apple.

Way of the Warrior Kid (20 November)

Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini and Jude Hill lead this family film adaptation, based on the bestselling children’s book series co-written by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. It sits in a fairly under-served niche – earnest, values-driven family adventure without leaning on an existing cinematic universe – and could be a nice counterprogramming option over the Thanksgiving/early-December streaming rush if it finds its audience.

Prime Video: Genre Variety Across the Board

Amazon’s streaming arm has spent the back half of this year proving it can compete across genres simultaneously – romance, horror, fantasy epic and grounded military thriller all sitting within a few weeks of each other on the same platform.

The Love Hypothesis (23 September)

Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman headline this adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s hugely popular romance novel, part of a broader streaming push into the “BookTok adaptation” pipeline that’s proven reliably successful for platforms willing to invest in it. Romantic comedy has had something of a resurgence on streaming specifically, after a fallow period in cinemas, and this is one of the more anticipated entries in that wave.

Carrie (7 October)

Mike Flanagan, one of the most consistently reliable names in modern horror adaptation – The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, his recent Stephen King work – takes on Carrie, King’s debut novel and one of the most frequently adapted horror stories of the last fifty years. Following an already-strong version by Brian De Palma sets a high bar, but Flanagan’s track record with King’s material specifically makes this one of the more credible reasons yet given to revisit the story.

The Terminal List, Season 2 (21 October)

Chris Pratt returns for another round of the military-thriller series based on Jack Carr’s novels, continuing the character’s campaign of vengeance and, per early details, digging further into the conspiracy threads the first season left simmering. It’s straightforward, well-executed genre television, and the first season’s numbers suggest Amazon has a durable, reliably performing franchise here.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Season 3 (11 November)

Official poster © Amazon MGM Studios / Prime Video, via TMDB.

One of the most expensive television productions ever made returns for a third season, continuing its account of Middle-earth’s Second Age in the run-up to the forging of the Rings of Power. Reception to the first two seasons was mixed among long-time Tolkien readers but strong among general audiences, and the show has visibly tightened its pacing and character focus since its debut – season three will be the clearest test yet of whether that improvement holds as the story approaches its biggest, most consequential events.

Blade Runner 2099 (25 November)

Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer lead this series continuation of the Blade Runner universe, extending the world Denis Villeneuve’s 2017 film built on Ridley Scott’s original. Bringing Blade Runner to episodic television is a genuinely risky proposition – the franchise’s power has always come partly from its density and visual patience, qualities that don’t automatically translate to a weekly series format – but the cast alone makes this one of the more closely watched sci-fi debuts of the year.

Neagley (16 September)

Amazon continues to expand the Reacher universe with this spinoff centred on Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley, a fan-favourite supporting character from the flagship series who’s more than earned a show of her own. Spinning a procedural ensemble character out into a lead role is always a gamble – plenty of shows have tried and found the character worked better as a supporting piece – but Neagley has consistently been one of Reacher’s sharpest, most capable characters, and giving her space to lead rather than support is a promising idea on paper.

The Chosen, Season 6 (15 November)

The crowdfunded biblical drama continues its multi-season account of the life of Jesus, a project that’s built one of streaming’s more unusual and dedicated fanbases largely outside the traditional prestige-TV conversation. Whatever your relationship to the source material, it’s worth acknowledging as one of the more genuinely fan-funded success stories in recent television history, now well into its run and still expanding its audience with each new season.

The Man with the Bag (2 December)

Alan Ritchson and Arnold Schwarzenegger headline this festive action-comedy, arriving right at the start of December to capture the early Christmas streaming rush. Pairing two actors with that combined level of physical screen presence in a holiday-comedy setting is a fairly irresistible pitch, and after Violent Night proved there’s a real audience for Christmas films with an action-movie edge, expect this to lean hard into that same energy.

Disney+: The Quiet Giant

Disney+’s autumn and winter slate is less firmly dated than its competitors’ at the time of writing, but the platform’s biggest advantage remains its pipeline of theatrical films moving to streaming after their cinema runs. Expect Toy Story 5 and Avatar: Fire and Ash to make their way to the service in the months following their theatrical releases, alongside the platform’s usual mix of Star Wars and Marvel episodic spin-offs. We’ll update this section with firm dates as Disney confirms its winter streaming calendar closer to the time – historically, the platform tends to announce these only a matter of weeks ahead rather than months, so it’s worth checking back if you’re after something specific.

Why So Much of the Biggest Content Is Skipping Cinemas Entirely

It’s worth pausing on just how much genuine star power is sitting in this list without a single cinema release attached. Ben Affleck, Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Michelle Yeoh, Florence Pugh, Arnold Schwarzenegger – a decade ago, most of these names attached to a project would have meant an automatic theatrical run. That’s no longer how the economics work. Streaming platforms can now offer budgets, creative control and awards-campaign support that rival or exceed a mid-tier theatrical release, without the box-office risk that comes with an opening weekend. For actors, that’s increasingly an easy trade-off: a guaranteed global audience of hundreds of millions of subscribers on day one, versus a cinema run that lives or dies on a single weekend’s ticket sales.

The knock-on effect is that the line between “a film” and “television” has become almost meaningless as a quality signal. East of Eden and Below are being produced with the same calibre of talent, both in front of and behind the camera, as anything opening in cinemas this year. If anything, the limited-series format has become the preferred home for exactly the kind of mid-budget, character-driven, slightly difficult adult drama that studios have largely abandoned making for theatrical release altogether, chasing tentpole franchises instead. It’s a genuine shift in where ambitious storytelling actually lives, and one worth keeping in mind next time someone claims streaming content is inherently a lesser tier than cinema.

Is It Worth Paying For All Four Platforms?

Realistically, no – not simultaneously, unless you’re watching an unusually large amount of television. A more sustainable approach that a lot of UK viewers have settled into is rotating subscriptions month to month: sign up for Apple TV+ for the few weeks Matchbox and Way of the Warrior Kid are airing, then cancel and pick up Prime Video (which most UK households already have bundled with Amazon Prime delivery anyway) for the Rings of Power and Blade Runner 2099 run. Netflix is the hardest of the four to rotate away from given the sheer volume of new content landing on it every single month covered above, but even there, pausing for a quarter and catching up later rarely means missing much that isn’t still available on-demand when you return. None of the platforms covered here currently penalise resubscribing, so there’s little practical downside to being deliberate about which month you’re paying for what.

How to Actually Keep Up

With four major platforms all releasing multiple significant titles within the same six-to-eight-week window, the honest advice is to pick your battles rather than trying to watch everything as it drops. If you only have time for one new series a month, The Diplomat and Rings of Power are the safest bets for viewers who already like those franchises, while East of Eden and Carrie are the two most likely to generate genuine awards-season and critical conversation respectively. For something with a lower time commitment, the Netflix film slate – Animals and Sacrifice particularly – offers a two-hour alternative to a multi-episode commitment, which is sometimes exactly what a Tuesday evening calls for.

It’s also worth remembering that UK streaming availability doesn’t always match the US exactly, even for a platform’s own original productions. The vast majority of Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ originals do land simultaneously worldwide, since these are platform-owned productions rather than licensed content, but it’s always worth a quick check if a specific title isn’t showing up in your region on the expected date – regional licensing quirks occasionally still apply, particularly for co-productions involving a non-streaming studio partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest new Netflix series this autumn?
East of Eden, Netflix’s limited series adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel starring Florence Pugh, has generated the most awards-season anticipation, while Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 carries the biggest built-in fanbase from its predecessor.

When does Rings of Power season 3 come out?
Season 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on 11 November.

Is there a new Blade Runner series?
Yes. Blade Runner 2099, starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, is a new series continuation set in the Blade Runner universe, arriving on Prime Video on 25 November.

Who is in the new Carrie adaptation?
The new Carrie series is directed by Mike Flanagan for Prime Video, arriving 7 October; full principal casting has been announced closer to the premiere date.

When will Toy Story 5 and Avatar: Fire and Ash be on Disney+?
Disney typically moves its major theatrical releases to Disney+ a number of weeks to a few months after their cinema run ends, though it doesn’t always confirm exact streaming dates far in advance. We’ll update this article once Disney locks in a release window for either title.

Do all of these shows and films release in the UK at the same time as the US?
For the platform-owned originals covered here – the Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ titles – yes, in the vast majority of cases they launch simultaneously worldwide. It’s always worth double-checking on the day if something isn’t appearing in your library, since occasional regional licensing exceptions do still happen.

Is Neagley connected to the main Reacher series?
Yes. Neagley is a Prime Video spinoff built around Frances Neagley, a recurring supporting character from Reacher, played by Maria Sten. It’s set within the same shared world as the flagship series.

Do I need to have watched the earlier Spider-Verse or Rings of Power seasons to follow these new releases?
For Rings of Power specifically, yes – season 3 continues directly from the plot and character threads of the first two seasons, so starting from the beginning is strongly recommended. The same logic applies to most of the sequels and returning seasons on this list; the standalone new titles, like East of Eden, Below, Animals and Sacrifice, don’t require any prior viewing.

We’ll keep this page updated as more autumn and winter dates are confirmed, and we’ll be reviewing the major titles in full as they land – check back for our verdict on whether they earned the anticipation.

The post Upcoming OTT Releases: What’s Landing on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Disney+ appeared first on Filmoria.

Every autumn brings the same flood of trailers, festival buzz and studio press releases, and it takes a bit of sorting to separate the films genuinely worth your time from the ones riding on name recognition alone. We’ve gone through the release schedule between now and the end of 2027 and pulled out the titles that matter, with a bit of honest context on each: who’s behind them, why they exist, and what the actual chances are that they’ll be any good.

This isn’t a comprehensive list of every film hitting cinemas over the next year – that would run to hundreds of entries once you count every horror sequel and awards-season prestige drama fighting for a limited release slot. Instead, we’ve prioritised the films with real cultural weight behind them: franchise instalments that could reshape where their series goes next, adaptations of source material with passionate existing fanbases, and the handful of original ideas studios are still willing to bet real money on in an industry that increasingly leans on the familiar. We’ll keep updating this page as dates shift and new trailers land, so bookmark it if you want one place to check rather than chasing a dozen separate studio announcements.

Quick List: The Films to Put in Your Diary

If you only remember a handful of dates, make them these. We’ve grouped everything below by season, but if you’re after a scannable version first: Street Fighter (16 October 2026) tries to do for fighting games what recent adaptations finally managed for other genres; Clayface (23 October 2026) is DC’s strangest and most promising swing yet under James Gunn’s new regime; The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (20 November 2026) sends the franchise back to a young Haymitch Abernathy; Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three share the same release date of 18 December 2026, which is either a scheduling accident or the boldest game of chicken two studios have played in years; and Werwulf, Robert Eggers’ period werewolf film, opens Christmas Day as the arthouse counterprogramming nobody asked for but everybody who’s seen The Northman will want.

Further out, 2027 is shaping up to be dominated by three things: Nintendo finally handing its biggest IP to Hollywood, Marvel closing out its Multiverse Saga, and a run of legacy sequels – Shrek, Ice Age, Sonic – that suggests the major studios are leaning harder than ever on titles that were already hits twenty years ago.

Street Fighter (16 October 2026)

Video game adaptations spent the better part of three decades being a punchline, and it’s only in the last few years – Sonic, the Mario movie, HBO’s The Last of Us – that the genre has started to shake that reputation off. Paramount’s Street Fighter arrives with a fair amount riding on it: Capcom’s fighting series has one of gaming’s most recognisable rosters, and a live-action outing that actually understands why Ryu, Chun-Li and Guile work as characters, rather than just as a list of special moves, could do for beat-’em-ups what recent films have done for horror games and post-apocalyptic RPGs. The tricky part has always been structure – a tournament format doesn’t naturally produce a three-act story – so how the screenplay handles pacing is worth watching closely once reviews land.

Clayface (23 October 2026)

Of everything DC has announced under its rebooted film universe, Clayface is the one that’s generated the most genuine curiosity rather than obligation. Rather than another origin story for a marquee hero, this is a horror-inflected character piece built around one of Batman’s stranger, more tragic villains – a washed-up actor whose relationship with a shapeshifting substance turns him into something closer to a body-horror monster than a costumed crook. It’s a genuinely odd choice to build a film around this early in a new shared universe, and that oddness is precisely why it’s worth attention. If it works, it’ll be because DC let a genre film be a genre film instead of forcing a wink to the wider universe into every scene.

The Cat in the Hat (6 November 2026)

Warner Bros. is taking another run at Dr. Seuss’s most famous creation, nearly a quarter-century after the Mike Myers version became a byword for how not to adapt a children’s classic. The bar here is not high, which is arguably a good thing – there’s real room for a version that trusts the source material’s anarchic, rhyming simplicity rather than papering over a thin picture book with celebrity mugging and needless subplots. Family animation and family live-action both had strong runs recently, so the appetite for a Cat in the Hat that actually works is there.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (20 November 2026)

Lionsgate’s Hunger Games prequel engine shows no sign of slowing, and this instalment has the strongest hook yet: a young Haymitch Abernathy, decades before he became the drunk, cynical mentor Woody Harrelson played so memorably in the original trilogy, competing in his own Games. Suzanne Collins’ novel of the same name was well received on release, in part because it uses the familiar arena structure to say something sharper about propaganda and survivor’s guilt than the earlier prequel managed. Casting a young Haymitch who can plausibly grow into Harrelson’s performance is a tall order, but on paper this is the most interesting angle the franchise has found since the original film.

Hexed (25 November 2026)

Disney’s Thanksgiving slot – historically reserved for the studio’s big awards-adjacent animated bet – goes this year to Hexed, an original adventure film rather than another sequel or live-action remake. Original animated features have had a genuinely rough few years commercially, so there’s a degree of risk-taking here worth acknowledging even before a single review is in. Whether it pays off will say a fair amount about where family audiences currently stand on new ideas versus familiar ones.

Violent Night 2 (4 December 2026)

The first Violent Night was a minor surprise hit built on a single, gleefully stupid premise – Santa Claus as an unkillable action hero defending a family from mercenaries – executed with far more craft and genuine heart than it had any right to have. A sequel arriving in early December, right in the middle of peak Christmas-film season, suggests Universal is confident it can be an annual tradition rather than a one-off. The bar for these is simple: keep the practical, brutal action sensibility intact, don’t lose the earnestness under the ultraviolence, and it’ll do exactly what it needs to.

Avengers: Doomsday (18 December 2026)

Official poster © Marvel Studios, via TMDB.

This is the single biggest bet Marvel Studios has made since Endgame, and arguably a bigger one, given how much of the Multiverse Saga has struggled to recapture the momentum of the Infinity Saga. Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU not as Tony Stark but as Victor von Doom, a casting swerve that’s divided fans since it was announced and will only be settled once audiences actually see the performance. The ensemble is enormous, pulling together threads from across Phase 4, 5 and 6, and the film essentially has one job: prove that Marvel can still deliver a crossover event with the stakes and coherence of the Infinity War/Endgame pairing, rather than the more scattered, lower-impact team-ups of recent years. Sharing a release date with Dune: Part Three means this is also, unavoidably, a box office showdown between two of the biggest films of the year.

Dune: Part Three (18 December 2026)

Official poster © Warner Bros. Pictures / Legendary, via TMDB.

Denis Villeneuve closes out his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah with what early marketing suggests is a considerably darker film than either of its predecessors – Paul Atreides several years into his reign as Emperor, and, per the trailers, someone who has “gone mad with power” rather than the reluctant messiah figure the first two films tracked so carefully. That’s a genuinely difficult tonal pivot: the first two Dune films earned enormous goodwill by taking their time and trusting audiences with a slow-burn political epic, and Part Three needs to deliver a satisfying conclusion to that arc without undercutting the character work that got us here. If Villeneuve sticks the landing, this could be remembered as one of the great modern film trilogies. If it stumbles, it’ll be because Messiah is, by design, a far less crowd-pleasing book than Dune itself.

Werwulf (25 December 2026)

Robert Eggers has built a career on meticulously researched, formally rigorous period horror – The Witch, The Lighthouse, his Nosferatu remake – and his next subject is werewolves, set in the 13th century with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe leading the cast. A Christmas Day release for a film like this is a curious scheduling choice, presumably banking on awards-season adjacent counterprogramming against the likes of Jumanji, but Eggers has earned enough trust that this is one of the most anticipated horror releases of the entire year regardless of when it lands.

Jumanji: Open World (25 December 2026)

The third instalment of Sony’s Jumanji revival flips the established formula: rather than characters getting pulled into the game, the premise this time has the Jumanji world spilling out into the real one. It’s a reasonable way to keep a now-decade-old concept from repeating itself, and the Dwayne Johnson/Kevin Hart/Jack Black/Karen Gillan chemistry that carried the first two films remains the franchise’s biggest asset. Expect broad, crowd-pleasing family entertainment rather than anything more ambitious – which, to be fair, is exactly what the first two delivered.

Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (19 February 2027)

Not a new film, technically, but worth flagging anyway: 20th Century Studios is bringing the original 1977 Star Wars back to cinemas in a fresh theatrical re-release, timed roughly around the franchise’s 50th anniversary celebrations. Re-releases of this kind have had a genuinely strong run recently – audiences have shown real appetite for seeing beloved classics on the big screen again, particularly remastered ones – and there’s something fitting about A New Hope getting this treatment the same spring that a wave of other legacy franchises are pushing new instalments into cinemas. Worth a watch even if you own it on every format already; a packed cinema audience for the original trench run is not an experience streaming replicates.

Early 2027: Sequels, Adaptations and a Few Wildcards

Before the summer blockbuster rush, January and February 2027 quietly deliver a handful of titles worth knowing about. The Beekeeper 2 (15 January) brings Jason Statham back for another round of vigilante-thriller mayhem, a franchise that’s found a comfortable niche doing exactly what it says on the tin. Children of Blood and Bone, also 15 January, adapts Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling West African-inspired fantasy novel – a young-adult adaptation with more genuine cultural specificity than most of its genre peers, and one that’s been in development long enough that expectations have had time to build. February brings Ice Age: Boiling Point continuing a franchise that long ago outlived its critical reputation but never really lost its audience, and a remastered theatrical push around several other legacy titles as studios continue to lean on nostalgia to fill release calendars between the big tentpoles.

What This Means for UK Filmgoers

One thing worth flagging for anyone reading this on this side of the Atlantic: UK release dates for major studio films increasingly track US dates closely, sometimes landing the same day and occasionally even a day or two earlier thanks to time-zone quirks around midnight openings. That said, it’s not universal – smaller awards-adjacent titles and some horror releases still see a gap of a few weeks between US and UK cinemas, generally to allow for distributor marketing pushes or festival premiere windows. For the tentpoles on this list – Doomsday, Dune, the Hunger Games prequel – expect day-and-date UK releases at major chains including Odeon, Cineworld and Vue. For the smaller films, particularly anything routed through NEON, Searchlight or Focus Features, it’s worth double-checking local listings closer to the date, since UK distribution deals for those titles aren’t always locked in this far out. We’ll flag any notable UK-specific delays as we get closer to each release.

Looking Further Ahead: The Films Defining 2027

The back half of 2026 is busy, but 2027 is where some of the decade’s biggest bets actually land. A handful are worth flagging now, months ahead of release, because the anticipation is already building.

The Legend of Zelda (7 May 2027) is the one with the most riding on it in pure cultural terms. Wes Ball directs Nintendo’s first major live-action adaptation of its flagship fantasy franchise, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda. Nintendo has been famously protective of its IP, and the studio’s direct involvement in production suggests this is being treated as a tentpole rather than a licensing experiment. Given how well the Mario movie performed by simply respecting its source material’s tone, expectations for a faithful, earnest take on Hyrule are high.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (18 June 2027) finally closes the trilogy that Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse began, picking up immediately after the second film’s cliffhanger. Few animated franchises this decade have earned the level of trust Sony’s Spider-Verse team has, both critically and commercially, so this is as close to a guaranteed event as animation gets right now.

Godzilla x Kong: Supernova (26 March 2027) continues Legendary’s MonsterVerse, following the crossover success of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. And Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (19 March 2027) keeps one of the more surprising video-game-adaptation success stories going, alongside a legacy-sequel wave that also includes Ice Age: Boiling Point and Shrek 5 (30 June 2027) – a reminder that, for all the talk of franchise fatigue, audiences keep showing up for the ones that get the tone right.

Marvel closes its current saga with Avengers: Secret Wars on 17 December 2027, the direct sequel to Doomsday and, on paper, the biggest crossover the studio has ever attempted. And sharing that exact date is The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, with Peter Jackson returning to Middle-earth as director for the first time since The Hobbit trilogy – a prequel exploring events in the years after Bilbo’s birthday party, well before the War of the Ring. Two franchise-defining films on the same day, for the second year running, is either a coincidence or a sign that studios have stopped being afraid of head-to-head competition when they’re confident in what they’ve made.

What We’re Actually Most Looking Forward To

If we had to narrow the whole list down to three, it would be Dune: Part Three for the sheer ambition of what Villeneuve is attempting with Messiah’s much thornier material, Werwulf because Eggers hasn’t made a film yet that wasn’t worth talking about, and The Legend of Zelda simply because of how rarely a franchise this beloved gets handed to a director with Wes Ball’s track record for handling difficult IP with care. Avengers: Doomsday is the one with the most on the line commercially, and the one most likely to dominate conversation regardless of quality – but dominating conversation and being good have not always been the same thing for the MCU’s more recent output, and that gap is exactly what we’ll be watching for.

Worth naming too: the film most likely to be genuinely underrated on this list is Clayface. It’s not being marketed with anywhere near the noise of the Marvel or Dune releases, it doesn’t have a built-in fanbase the way a Zelda or Spider-Verse film does, and it’s a strange, small-scale choice for a studio trying to relaunch its cinematic universe. That combination – low expectation, genuine creative ambition – is usually where the pleasant surprises of any given year actually come from, and it’s the one we’d put money on outperforming its own hype.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the biggest movie coming out for the rest of 2026?
By box office expectation, that’s almost certainly Avengers: Doomsday, releasing 18 December 2026 – though it shares that date with Dune: Part Three, so the two are effectively competing for the same weekend.

Are Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three really releasing on the same day?
Yes, both are currently scheduled for 18 December 2026. It’s an unusually direct head-to-head clash between two of the year’s biggest films, and release dates can still shift as the date approaches, so it’s worth keeping an eye on official studio announcements closer to the time.

Is there a new Hunger Games film coming?
Yes – The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is due 20 November 2026, based on Suzanne Collins’ prequel novel following a young Haymitch Abernathy.

When is the Zelda movie coming out?
The Legend of Zelda, directed by Wes Ball, is currently scheduled for 7 May 2027.

Is there another Spider-Verse film after Across the Spider-Verse?
Yes. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse concludes the animated trilogy and is expected 18 June 2027.

Release dates can change – how up to date is this list?
We’ve based every date here on the most recent studio scheduling available at the time of writing. Big theatrical releases do sometimes shift, particularly in response to a crowded calendar or a competing release, so treat dates more than a few months out as strong indications rather than guarantees, and check back for updates as we get closer to each release.

We’ll be keeping this page updated as more of the 2027 slate firms up, and reviewing each of these as they land – so check back closer to release for our full take on whether they lived up to the hype.

John Travolta plays mob enforcer Johnny Roselli, and the rest of the cast reads like a who’s-who of “that guy from that thing”: Robert Carlyle as Jack Ruby, Dermot Mulroney as hitman Charles Nicoletti, Jefferson White (yes, Jimmy from Yellowstone) as Lee Harvey Oswald, Mandy Patinkin as Chicago boss Anthony Accardo, and Thomas Fiscella as Giancana himself.

They actually rebuilt Dealey Plaza for this — not in Dallas, but at Birds Hill Provincial Park outside Winnipeg, with something like 1,500 extras and 75-plus period cars. Principal photography wrapped back in mid-2025, and Ketchup Entertainment picked up distribution rights in May, so this has been a while coming.

No firm release date yet beyond “sometime in 2026,” but with the trailer now out, it shouldn’t be long.
