Renaming characters, doing multiple playthroughs while making the same choices over again, getting entirely too attached to fictional characters, chasing that one particular rare drop you need to perfect your stats for the ideal build - all of these and more are the classic quicks of role playing games we know and love.
There isn't quite another genre like RPGs, and even though most of them are utter time sinks gobbling up hundreds of hours of time, we can't ever get enough.
We're already halfway through 2021 and some amazing RPGs have launched this year - Loop Hero, Monster Hunter Rise, Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (even though it's a remaster it still counts), to name a few. Even so, we still have half the year ahead of us with a stacked release schedule, and there is plenty for RPG fans to look forward to.
Of course, all of the games on this are expected to release in 2021 but looking back at how things have been going recently, we wouldn't rule out delays for any of these, potentially pushing them to 2022. At the time of writing, all of these titles are projected to launch this year, and considering how delays aren't exactly good for alleviating crunch, we'll hold out hope that they do.
In no particular order, here are our most anticipated RPGs slated for launch in 2021.
