Starfield has the potential to be Bethesda's next big hit thanks to the developer's decision to return to its classic formula, while Hogwarts Legacy could become a popular RPG game with its new take on wizard battles that is different from previous Harry Potter ga

Final Fantasy 16 is one of the most highly-anticipated RPG games, and is breaking new ground for the iconic series. FF16 is making changes to the summons system which will result in unique Kaiju-style battles between Eikons, a grandeur not seen in previous Final Fantasy titles. Players will be able to control Eikons and use their god-like powers to defeat their enemies, which is different from Final Fantasy 15 , where summons can only send one powerful attack before disappearing. Eikons will also have more presence in the story, with the creatures being connected to the major characters who are their Dominants. Although Dominants can tap into the power of Eikons, they have to pay a high price with each transformation shortening their lifes
