15 New Fall Video Game Releases That You Don't Know About Yet

The best indie games of fall 2026 include cozy puzzle games, farming sims, action adventures, and more.

The short version

• Fall 2026 isn’t entirely defined by those big-budget, AAA games, however.
• Too-many-to-count indie and AA under-the-radar games are coming out week after week all season long.
• Below are 15 indies coming out this fall we’re looking forward to, ordered by their release dates.
