***************************************************************

In order to keep track of upcoming RPGs I decided to compile a list.

I'll be relatively loose on the what defines an RPG, so I have included Battletech, as even though it is primarily a turn-based strategy game, it has substantial RPG elements (the story based campaign mode, character stats and progression, etc.)

However, in order to be included on the above list, a game must be meet the following qualifications:

(1) PC Exclusive- at launch PC (including Windows, Mac, Linux, C64, etc.), but no confirmed plans to port / release the game on consoles, tablets

(2) Single-player only (optional co-op a la D:OS is obviously acceptable, but no MMOs or exclusively multiplayer games like True Messiah

(3) Commerical game- No freeware; while some of it like Heroine's Quest is fantastic, there's far too much shovelware, half-finished RPGMaker games, etc. to keep bother keeping track of

So I'm not including potentially good games have planned console releases… Most of these are AAA titles, so I'm so we've all heard about them anyway.

I'm also intentionally avoiding vaporware, included RPGs that have been postponed and not actively being developed as far as we know…. Has to be some evidence that the game is being worked on, screenshot, concept art, or at least announcement from a developer that has shipped titles.

Have I missed anything? Please reply to let me know and I'll add it to the list if it meets the requirements.

I'll include games in Early Access. Not sure if I should include enhanced editions aka director's cuts etc of existing games (e.g., Icy: Remastered). Thoughts?

Anyway, I hope some of you will find this list useful and discover RPGs that you hadn't even heard of. Prepare to get hyped and probably ultimately disappointed!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/424370 Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

http://store.steampowered.com/app/449960 Return 2 Games: Book of Demons
http://store.steampowered.com/app/459090 Masquerada: Songs and Shadows

It appears EITR is planned for a PS4 release and Masquerada is planned for a console/s release, too. Nice looking games, though.

Perusing the Aledorn forums and it seems the devs really aren't interested in an English release, they're concentrating on the Czech version. Interesting, since almost all their backers are English speaking, not Czech.

That's rather troubling. If nothing else, I'd think that purely out of financial interest the English release would be important to them because there's surely many more English speaking gamers throughout the world than Czech speaking ones. At any rate, they've shown signs of progress and have only recently released an alpha build so I won't write it off as vaporware just yet.

I've added a lot more RPGs to the list over the past few days. In my search for upcoming games I skimmed Steam Greenlight pages with the RPG tag; this gets a bit exhausting as there's well over a thousand of them, many have very light RPG elements, and probably quite a few will never even be released… So I tended to only investigate the ones that caught my eye for whatever reason. I even scoured the dank recesses of the Codex and found a game I hadn't heard of before.
