D&D video games 2026 isn’t a topic you open just to tick off a list it’s the kind of thing you dig into when you’re chasing a very specific feeling. Not “fantasy RPG” in general, but that D&D mix of smart choices, party chemistry, and the constant risk that your best plan collapses the second you press forward. Some games get it because they let you solve problems your way and live with the fallout. Others get close, but you can tell they’re wearing the vibe like a costume.
The picks below aren’t ranked to provoke arguments in the comments and they’re not here to flatter every big release either. They’re here because each game earns its place by capturing something that D&D fans instantly recognize: the tension of a risky decision, the thrill of building a party that actually clicks, the chaos of a plan falling apart and still somehow working. If you’re looking for that specific mix of strategy, roleplay and “I can’t believe that just happened”, you’re in the right place.
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
- Solasta: Crown of the Magister
- Divinity: Original Sin 2
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Baldur’s Gate 3
A party based RPG set in the Forgotten Realms, Baldur’s Gate 3 drops you into a mind flayer disaster and lets your choices snowball across a huge campaign built around Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition rules. Even in 2026, it’s still the modern reference point for what “true” D&D style reactivity, companions, and quest freedom can look like in a video game.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
Wrath of the Righteous is the kind of RPG that goes big on purpose and somehow pulls it off.. It has a full-on crusade story set against demonic invasion, where power isn’t just measured in levels, but in mythic progression. It’s based on the Pathfinder franchise and it plays like a high-level tabletop campaign that stopped asking for permission three acts ago: your party becomes a force, your choices reshape the tone of the entire run and the game constantly tempts you with “what kind of hero are you becoming?”.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
Solasta feels like a love letter to the D&D 5e universe. It’s the kind of game where light, elevation, positioning and action economy aren’t flavor text they’re the whole point. For players who care about how a 5e fight actually runs turn by turn, Solasta is still an easy recommendation in 2026.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 doesn’t need the branding,it still feels like the sort of adventure D&D fans chase. It’s built around a party of strong personalities, turn-based combat that rewards improvisation, and quests that don’t fall apart when you do something “wrong” they just bend and keep going. In a 2026 D&D style list, it belongs here because it captures that constant “try it and see what happens” energy better than most.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Based on Paizo’s Pathfinder and adapted from the Kingmaker Adventure Path, this isometric RPG starts with you carving order out of the Stolen Lands and gradually turning adventuring into full on realm management. For D&D fans in 2026, it’s a natural bridge game: familiar CRPG structure, deep character building, and that campaign feel where the stakes keep widening beyond the party.
I write for Need4Games, mostly keeping track of what’s coming next. I cover showcases and release updates, put together quick lists when you just want the highlights, and I’ll post Steam deal roundups when the sales get wild. I play a lot of games, so I tend to look at games through that lens. No overthinking, just: what it is, why it’s interesting, and if it’s actually worth your time. I also stream now and then on Twitch.
