RPGs let players express themselves through highly customizable and often extremely relatable characters. There’s nothing else in gaming quite like this genre. But thanks to the genre’s popularity, that means there are a ton of RPGs planned for 2021, 68 to be exact. The first one of the year, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest, hit the Switch eShop back on Jan. 7 of this year. And the rest of this list is either out now or will be coming this year. This list of all 2021 RPGs includes traditional RPGs, JRPGs, ARPGs, and everything RPG in-between.
