Top 20 Best NEW Upcoming Turn Based JRPGs (2024 2025 2026)

Armed Fantasia successor of wild arms?

so sick of 16bit games still being released... pixel art is just lazy development right next to remakes!

This idea of mixing turn-based with action is getting really f*cking annoying! Those who want turn-based combat won't like it and those who want action based combat still won't like it anyway. Stop messing up turn-based combat!

Sword of Convallaria it's a gacha game. Hard pass

Im a big BIG Wild Arms fan boy iv played every wildarms so armed fantisy looks great

where is the Octopath Traveller III made for release with Switch II

Alzara seems to have the most promise............... but also seems to scream "modern audience" :/

You can just feel the Wild Arm's legacy at the first whistle and guitar stroke

am a fan of shadow heart games... so, Penny Blood is my favorite game it will be

for the game: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 you can do a full no damage run even final boss and beat the game

I'm not even a big time turn based guy, but I stumbled upon your website a few years ago and follow it because of how crazy detailed you are about the topic. With Google search going to shit lately it's nice to have a place to go to read about gaming knowing it's not just a bunch of made up, un-fact checked, generic AI generated garbage. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks big dog for keeping it real. Respect.

Yoooooo!!!! I haven't even finished the video but this list so far is str8 fyreeee!! A new Shadow Hearts type game!! A new Wild Arms type game!!! Exhibition 33 looks epic! I recently heard about Metaphor! I swear RPGs are being bought back to life and it makes me so happy! My biggest gripe is that I haven't bought a new console since the PS4 and Switch. I'm hoping all of these games come to at least to PS4. It will probably be glitchy because of it😭😭


I'm hoping that soon someone will try to breathe life back into Xenogears and Breath of Fire using kickstarter. I swear I would die a happy man if I hear news that someone is undertaking that. Xenosaga was nice but it wasn’t as good to me. It struggled to keep my attention. At least maybe they could try to remake the game and this time finish the 2nd disc the way they really wanted to. I bet if they did that and the game turned out a huge success it might push them to make a 2nd one. I wouldn’t even be tripping on graphics or updating anything from the first disc, just soley focused on the 2nd disc.

But not even past the first four on the list and I'm looking forward to all of these games! Great video!! I will save this to remind myself to keep track of all of these games. I hope I'm able to play them without having to buy a new console😢

I also have a PC but I don't think it will be strong enough for these graphics. I have to lower a lot of my game settings for my Total War Warhammer 3.

Any info in Kristala?

Me waiting for: Expedition 33, Armed Fantasia, and Lost Hellden

many of those arent even real JRPGs...

no falcom game?
kai no kiseki

mario luigi brothership release this year, not 2025

The only one I am excited for is Armed Fantasia because it has a souls unlike the other indie games who want to cash on nostalgia

Claire is Legend of Dragoon gameplay! 😮

Expedition 33's gameplay reminds me of Lost Odyssey. I will definitely be picking it up on day 1.

No Legend of Heroes... sad.

I wanted Penny Blood to succeed the most.....

Wow i can't decide which one looks more like crap

Expedition 33 looks soooo good DAMN!!😮😮

What I liked: Metaphor Interesting: Lost Hellden, Expedition 33, Alzara

Dude the fact that you put persona 6 on this list is fucking ridiculous

Still waiting on new abt a new Digimon Story game.... we waited for so long alrdy Bandai.... I would like a more classic Fire Emblem as well without school like hubs or goddes or gacha rings.

A new game with the mechanichs of cris tales? im down

Not gonna lie, I am kinda annoyed that most turn based JRPGs only get love from indie developers nowadays and usually end up a 64 bit/pixelgraphic game. Nothing against that, but I do crave a Triple A title again.

JRPG Fan was here 🎉

Best for me is Penny Blood and armed fantasia 🍻

what's with the stupid combat font choice in Penny Blood? Fix that??? It's too childish and cartoony.

You can't put persona 6 here, we don't know that it coming atlus haven't said anything about it, idc about leaks or stuff like that, the game doesn't exist for now, especially there focus more on metaphor now which tbh i am more excited for metaphor then persona 6, metaphor steals all my love from the persona series and it not even out, it just it looks much better with a lot more variety then persona, and it basically have everything i love about RPGs too.

看完了，什麽是你所謂的JRPG？

I'm glad to see a lot of variety here than the overdone modern anime style JRPGs we have been getting. Even the games in the anime style are varied here.

I wish to play a game like FFX but new gen and much bigger

missing the best game on the list, trails through daybreak 2

Claire Obscure has my attention!

I hate thay sword of convallaria is a gacha game and people should be highly aware of that

I'm very much looking forward to Penny Blood but the lack of news is really worrying. I know they released Hellbound but i'm not as interested in that 😢

Just so you know Sword of Convallaria will also release on Console now. It was announced that the Delay was to polish the Game, and to work on Controller Support for the Console Release in the Future.

I see persona and everything else is a blur

Really the golden age of jrpgs and rpgs is long gone, there hasn’t being a good one in sooo long and these only some of them look decent at best

I love turn based game

whats the game in the thumbnail?

Ive got Etheria Restart on my wishlist for another upcoming turn based jrpg(according to the game's description it is) strangely this game never appears on any of these upcoming rpg videos. The trailer looks cool, though there is not much info on the game right now. Worth looking at though

I really want a xenogears remake or successor

It's interesting how, of these games, only a couple are not coming to PC. That's to be expected these days, but JRPGs used to be exclusively found on consoles, because Japan doesn't have a history of PC gaming the way the Western world does. There's been a real paradigm shift there.

I hope the ALZARA character models don't end up looking like that, the art and splash art look pretty but those characters look rough
