Upcoming releases — and the stocks they move
The games coming next, each tied to the public company that owns it. The colored chip is the part no other calendar shows: how much that release can actually move the stock. A blockbuster on a giant like Sony or Microsoft can barely register, while a mid-size hit can swing a pure-play studio like Capcom or CD Projekt.
- Sep 15, 2026ConfirmedMarvel's WolverineLow impactSony GroupSONY
Insomniac's PS5-exclusive action game and a near-certain system-seller. But PlayStation is a small slice of Sony, so it's a huge game with a small effect on the stock.
- Sep 25, 2026ConfirmedOnimusha: Way of the SwordHigh impactCapcomCCOEY
The first new Onimusha in over 20 years. Capcom is almost entirely a games business, so a launch like this feeds straight into the stock.
- Oct 6, 2026ConfirmedGears of War: E-DayLow impactMicrosoftMSFT
A marquee Xbox prequel from The Coalition. High-profile for gamers, but gaming is a rounding error next to Microsoft's cloud and software.
- Nov 19, 2026ConfirmedGrand Theft Auto VIHigh impactTake-Two InteractiveTTWO
The biggest entertainment launch ever, from Rockstar. Take-Two is essentially a pure-play, making GTA VI the single largest catalyst on this calendar — see the GTA 6 hub.
- 2026ExpectedJudasHigh impactTake-Two InteractiveTTWO
From Ghost Story Games, led by BioShock creator Ken Levine. Take-Two has signaled a 2026 launch but hasn't locked a date.
- 2027ConfirmedResident Evil VeronicaHigh impactCapcomCCOEY
A ground-up remake of Code: Veronica, revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026. Capcom's RE remakes are dependable hits, and Capcom is nearly all games — so it matters to the stock.
- Feb 23, 2027ConfirmedFableLow impactMicrosoftMSFT
Playground Games' reboot, day-one on Game Pass and also on PS5. A big Xbox swing, but immaterial to Microsoft's share price.
- Spring 2027ConfirmedFinal Fantasy VII RevelationHigh impactSquare Enix HoldingsSQNXF
The third and final part of the FF VII Remake trilogy, revealed June 2026 for a simultaneous multi-platform release. A major event for Square Enix.
- 2027ConfirmedVirtua Fighter CrossroadsMed impactSega Sammy HoldingsSGAMY
RGG Studio's revival of the fighting series. Sega Sammy makes games but also runs a large pachinko and resort business, so one title moves the stock less.
- 2027 (expected)ExpectedIntergalactic: The Heretic ProphetLow impactSony GroupSONY
Naughty Dog's new sci-fi IP. Announced but undated and reportedly still some way off — another marquee Sony game that barely moves SONY.
- 2027 (rumored)RumoredGod of War (Faye saga)Low impactSony GroupSONY
A God of War spin-off reportedly centered on Faye, plus a rumored remake of the Greek trilogy. Not officially announced by Sony.
- 2027 at the earliestExpectedThe Witcher 4High impactCD ProjektCDR
In full production since 2024; CD Projekt has said not before 2027. For a studio that lives and dies by its own games, this is its defining catalyst.
- 2027 or laterExpectedAssassin's Creed HexeHigh impactUbisoft EntertainmentUBSFY
The next mainline Assassin's Creed, a darker entry codenamed Hexe. Acknowledged by Ubisoft but with no firm window — expected around FY2027–2029.
Timing is publisher-stated where marked Confirmed; Expected means an acknowledged game with only a rough window, and Rumored means reported but not officially announced. Release dates slip often — a slip is itself a signal worth tracking. Last verified June 17, 2026.
