When it comes to games that have had a significant impact on the gaming landscape as a whole, few can compare to the level of Cyberpunk. Coming from one of the most respected studios in the world, the game transports players to a futuristic city full of action and fun, incorporating every possible RPG element to deliver one of the best open-world experiences of the last decade.
But gaming moves fast, and there are plenty of new games on the horizon looking to make a name for themselves and potentially take the crown as the new kings of the cyberpunk aesthetic. From open-world narrative epics to fast-paced shooters, players have a lot to look forward to in the coming months when it comes to futuristic gaming worlds.

Den Of Wolves
Nonstop Heisting Action
Den of Wolves

WHERE TO PLAY
- Genre(s)
- Shooter, FPS, Multiplayer
- Platform(s)
- PC
Den of Wolves comes from the devious minds of smash hits like Payday and GTFO, combining intense heist missions with a futuristic art style that appears closer to dystopia than reality. The gunplay looks super fluid, and there is a real emphasis on moment-to-moment decision-making, as things go from fast to slow in the blink of an eye.
The game is all about preparation and strategy, requiring a healthy amount of knowledge and coordination to clear the missions without failing. And by bringing the established heist loop to a new cyberpunky setting, the game stands out in an otherwise crowded genre that has had little innovation for quite some time.

Straight Out Of A Blockbuster Movie
Spine
- Developer(s)
- Nekki

SPINE is an exciting upcoming action game that looks to combine the satisfaction of close-quarters martial arts with punchy gun mechanics that make the player feel like a real action hero. The draw comes both from the stylish combat and the gritty future aesthetic, which borrows from games like Cyberpunk to deliver a beautiful yet daunting world to explore.

Video game release dates for 2026 are still mostly a mystery, but we'll keep this page up to date with new information on the biggest titles.
There are flips, kicks, slides, and more, as players dispatch their enemies with an array of moves and skills, lending them a great deal of agency and power to control the flow of the fights however they choose. It seems like a great combination of skill and style, with every encounter looking more like a graceful dance than a messy flurry of swings.
Nivalis
Simulating The Future Perfectly
- Release Date: 2025
- Developer: ION Lands
Nivalis is what happens when developers combine the cyberpunk aesthetic with the life simulation genre. Players can grow businesses, manage restaurants, and even find love in the city, with the key factor being the freedom to choose whatever life suits them the best.
The level of scale looks impressive, as entire streets are populated with interactive NPCs that can become friends, customers, enemies, and everything in between. It's a vibrant world waiting to be explored, and for players who enjoy immersive simulators, this game should be on their radar for sure.
NEO BERLIN 2087
Ambition Like Nothing Else
- Release Date: To be announced
- Developer: Elysium Game Studio
NEO Berlin looks to shake up the RPG genre by sending players to a vast, intriguing world full of technology and corruption. There is a big emphasis on the narrative here. Players tackle increasingly abstract threats across the city, using whatever weapons and skills they choose to fight and solve the problems before them.
The scale and ambition are immense, as the game is trying to tick every box, from customization to story immersion. If they manage to pull it off, NEO Berlin could very well become the next big RPG shooter for both cyberpunk lovers and avid gamers alike.
CyberVerse
Exploring A Dark City Together
- Release Date: 2025
- Developer: Mirrion INC.
Many players who enjoyed Cyberpunk have asked, "What if the game were multiplayer?" A thousand times. Cyberverse is looking to answer that question, delivering a gigantic open-world city that can be explored solo or with other players.
Adding in cooperative or even PvP elements means that the world feels much more exciting and full of action, as every event and encounter becomes a communal experience that is shared with others. The game has a lot of promises to fulfill, but from everything that has been shown so far, it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting games of 2025.
Zero Parades
Espionage Meets Intriguing CRPG
ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies
- ESRB
- Rating Pending
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- ZA/UM
- Genre(s)
- RPG, CRPG
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5
ZERO PARADES is an upcoming espionage RPG from the creators of Disco Elysium, in which players are summoned back to duty after a disastrous failure. Set in a surreal locale called the “End of History,” the game explores ideological conflict, psychological trauma, and identity, with a heavy emphasis on every choice made.
The aesthetic and universe are deeply rooted in technology. Every environment is coated in mechanical objects and rusted components, lending it a uniquely dystopian feel that relates closely to cyberpunk aesthetics. Though it is more noir than neon, the game still appears to be an intriguing tale about culture, power, and how the two intertwine within society.
Atomic Heart 2
Returning To The Technological Frontier
Atomic Heart II
- Developer(s)
- Mundfish
WHERE TO PLAY

The bar has been raised and the open world expanded, giving players more opportunities than ever to explore and carve out their place in a world full of corruption and exploitation in all walks of life.
The universe has a fascinating narrative setting that feels distant into the future, yet reminiscent of a time not so long ago, combining retro architecture with utopian imagination. With more robots to shoot and more mysteries to solve, there is no doubt that players will have more than enough to do in this twisted alternate reality.
