We're really rocketing toward the end of 2026, so before we're crushed under the mountain of games releasing in October and that one game launching this November, lets' take a moment to get caught up on what's going on with Steam's 20 most-wishlisted games.
Is there hot news? Have release dates shifted? Have a few devs worryingly not made a single peep in months, or longer? Let's find out together.
Don't worry, there's not whole lot of reading to do: these are just little tidbits to absorb so you can get up to speed. Here's the latest from Steam's 20 most anticipated games.
Top 5 STEAM WISHLISTS
Great timing, because "a massive visual update" and "six new heroes" (hi, Rat King) appeared on Oct 2, along with fancy-ass patch notes.

Still on track for a February release, far as we know, and some lore was posted on the official site on Sep 21.
Nothing new since a dev update in July that we, erm, didn't cover. Here, now it's covered.

WISHLISTS 11-20
In Sept the devs said they're "working through some fantastic feedback" from their "final internal playtest," but still no month attached to the 2026 release window.

Who even knows? I got a bit out of Studio Wildcard about this oft-delayed sequel back in March, for what that's worth.
Things are actually quietly bustling if you're participating in Preludes, the pre-alpha version of Soulframe, which gets regular patches. The most recent was in Sept.
The bodycam shooter studio announced it was hiring a game designer and 3D character in late Sept. No release date or even release year posted.
We got a new trailer in Aug, a release date in Sept, and it sounds like its on track for it's Feb 2027 release date.
Mollie played it at Gamescom last month and got "those same giddy feelings that I felt the first time I booted up Persona 4 Golden on my PS Vita." There's a recent broadcast, too.
A new cinematic trailer appeared just a couple days ago, and there's been devblogs about its various modes almost weekly on Steam.
We learned recently there will be a chain weapon in this DLC you can use to fight an enemy called, and I quote, "Swarmions."
