Alfred Lord Tennyson famously said, “Hope smiles at the threshold of the coming year.”
If people thought it was a little hot last year, 2026 will be a completely different heat wave. And while that hope Al spoke of wasn’t specifically about a new Grand Theft Auto, gamers around the world are doing everything they can to hope that no more delays will make us get our hopes up again.
Admittedly, this year seems to have gotten off to a pretty slow start, with not much happening in January to get me excited. However, here’s everything that’s set to be announced in the lead-up to the kickoff of what should be a big year.
