Video Game Release Dates December 2026: 14 Games, Seven of Them on Dec. 3

Fourteen video games have a December 2026 release date on their publishers’ own pages, and seven of them share Thursday, Dec. 3. Square Enix, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Deep Silver, Nacon and others posted those; Capcom has Monster Hunter Wilds on Nintendo Switch 2 for Friday, Dec. 4. The table gives each date a weekday, platforms and the publisher’s own source.

December 2026 game release dates by day

The table lists the 14 games whose publishers had confirmed a December 2026 date as of Nov. 3, 2026.

Platform names follow each publisher’s page: PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and personal computer (PC). No launch clock times are confirmed for any of these games, so none are listed.

Which December 2026 games launch on Dec. 3?

Seven, counted from the table: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, Rayman Legends Retold, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream on Switch 2, Aeterna Lucis, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV and Edge of Memories. Eriksholm is already out on PC, PS5 and Xbox, so Dec. 3 is the date of its Switch 2 version. For Aeterna Lucis the Steam page lists only PC, so we list no consoles. Dec. 4 has two more: Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2 and A Game About Digging A Hole Together.

Which games moved into December 2026?

Three Dec. 3 games had earlier dates. Ubisoft’s news post of June 2, 2026 was titled “Rayman Legends Retold launching October 1,” and Ubisoft’s game page now lists Dec. 3. Deep Silver wrote on the Dawn of War IV page: “We’ve made the decision to move the game’s launch date to 3rd December.” The game’s earlier date was in September. Nacon’s Oct. 15 release calls Dec. 3 the “new global release date” for Edge of Memories, which moved from November. Check a publisher’s page before you pre-order, because these dates have already moved once.

What time zone applies to the December 2026 launches?

Publishers have posted no hours. Grinding Gear Games gives Path of Exile 2 version 1.0 as Dec. 11 in Pacific Standard Time (PST) and calls it a full free-to-play launch. Elementa lists Silver Palace for Dec. 14 in UTC+8, the China Standard Time zone, where UTC is Coordinated Universal Time. Without an hour, we do not convert either date to Eastern Time (ET).

Is Grand Theft Auto VI in December?

No. Rockstar’s newswire headline reads “Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Set to Launch November 19, 2026,” and no Rockstar post we read moves it. Our November 2026 release dates story has the table, and the Grand Theft Auto VI countdown by time zone tracks the days left. For next year, see video game release dates for 2027.

Which December games are not on the list yet?

Golf With Your Friends 2 from Team17 is listed only for “fall 2026,” so it has no day and stays out of the table. We also leave out any December date we found only on aggregator sites.
