Major anime officially confirms new games for 2026

Thanks to an avalanche of events, June 2026 has been completely defined by video game reveals, announcements, trailers and surprises. Indeed, the spirit of E3 lives on. Every year produces a bunch of anime games based on beloved properties, and 2026 looks set to deliver one of the strongest and most diverse lineups of all time. Titles like The Seven Deadly Sins: Genesis and My Hero Academia: Justice for All Things started off on solid notes, but the best was yet to come.

Before the end of the year, New Jujutsu Kaisen, Single levelingand a piece Games will be available. Diversity doesn't just come from IP, either, as most of these upcoming games fall into different genres. Seriously, one of them is a cooking sim! Get ready to fight some curses, steamroll through a dungeon, or survive a deadly game until the end of 2026.

Most of these games had release dates revealed or confirmed in the last two weeks; However, I have also included some other titles to be complete.

One Piece: The Grand Gourmet

A piece of cooking game

Here it is, the anime cooking game of 2026. after the odyssey In early 2023, a piece It seemed poised and ready to build on its growing momentum, perhaps setting the franchise up to eventually become a true pillar of the anime gaming landscape, something like. Dragon Ball. Honestly, that hasn't really happened, and we're still waiting for Bandai Namco's announcement One Piece: Pirate Warriors 5 (Seriously, it's been over 5 years!) Still, One Piece: The Grand Gourmet A cute title that captures the charm of Eiichiro Oda's manga.

You join the staff of the new Barati restaurant, your goal is to turn it into the biggest restaurant in the sea. The Grand Gourmet Not just a cooking game, but also a restaurant management sim that lets you work alongside Sanji to cook food from the show or even create unique dishes using Devil Fruits. You will also find the restaurant equipped to ensure that it matches your preferences. Apparently, the game contains more than 400 a piece Characters!

Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton

Vampire Survivors Dev makes JJK Games

Oh, this is a thrill. Bullet Heaven games are a dime a dozen these days, though Vampire Survivors The definitive release of the genre continues. Jujutsu Kaisen Jumping on this bandwagon would have earned eye rolls if only any developer had handled the project, but Poncal's involvement changes that significantly. It will be like a hack-end– Demon Slayer Slash Game developed by PlatinumGames; You can't choose a better developer.

decisively, Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton Brings a lot of new ideas to the plate which should ensure that it is not the only one Vampire Survivors With an anime coat of paint. The games are framed around battle royales, with players competing against rival wizards and cursed spirits. You need to outscore other characters instead of just surviving for a certain amount of time. The game supports both single-player and online PvP, and it features a roster of over 20 characters.

Sword Art Online – Echoes of Aincrad

A SAO game without Kirito (that looks incredible)

Sword Art Online Games come out so often that new ones don't attract any attention except for fans of light novels or anime. but, Echoes of Aincrad By minimizing its connection to the source material, or, more precisely, the source material's Kirito-themed story separates itself. Set in the original game world, you become a trapped player who just wants to survive, and you shape your character's appearance, class, and skills. Heck, you can even get dynamic shapes with your AI-controlled partner.

Although not a traditional story, Echoes of Aincrad Seems more concerned with the gameplay side of things, with promotional content emphasizing loadout, construction, and exploration. Players make decisions that define their adventure, rather than following a linear path without deviation. Combat also looks fantastic, with attacks seeming to have weight behind them.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters

Forget the World Cup, this is where true football stars are made

Captain Tsubasa is a classic football anime that is famous all over the world; Personally, I grew up watching the Italian version, and I still have fond memories of the original series. Although not recognized, the franchise has a long and extensive history in gaming, surprisingly considering football translates easily to video game form. rather only FIFA with anime characters, Captain Tsubasa Effectively a strategy game played like a game, where players try to weaken the opposing team and its goalkeeper.

Captain Tsubasa: The Rise of New Champions Gaming brought the series back into the limelight somewhat, and it was pretty solid, as long as you knew what to expect. Even then, the games got a bit repetitive after a while, so there was definitely room for improvement. The sequel looks set to do the same by introducing even more strategy elements, particularly in attacks and duels between goalies.

Single Level: Karma

Perfect stopgap while waiting for Solo Leveling Season 3

Although the exact date is yet to be announced, Single Level: Karma Launching Netmarble's game on mobile devices and PC, should debut within the current year. As Netmarble confirmed it will be at Anime Expo in July, the game's vision should be clear within a few weeks, perhaps even revealing its launch date. However, we do know a few things now. Karma A roguelite action RPG played from an isometric angle, and tells a brand new story called the 27-Year War of Monarchs. The following official tweet gives a basic breakdown of Sung's predicament in the game.

Single leveling Season 3 probably won't be released for a while, so Karma May be the best option to get your Sung fix.

Special mention: Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game

Use four elements

Well, I know not everyone agrees Avatar: The Last Airbender qualifies as anime (and, to be honest, I don't consider it anime), but Nickelodeon's show is definitely inspired by Japanese animation. Let's just make an exception and include it Avatar Legends: The Fighting GameEspecially since the franchise rarely gets any new games.

Well, this project pretty much says everything in the title. A 1v1 2D fighter that uses hand-drawn animation, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Brings together 12 characters from both series, with more being introduced post-launch. Although PvP is clearly seen as a priority, the game includes a single-player campaign that tells an original story that fits within the canon universe. Naturally, standard modes like Arcade will also be included.
