The year 2026 is set to be filled with releases for role-playing game fans. On this occasion, MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz visited the GameStar Talk to discuss the most exciting titles of the upcoming year.
Who is present at the GameStar Talk and what is it about? In this episode, alongside GameStar host Lea Herfurtner, there are also GameStar editor Fabiano Uslenghi, Michael Graf, and MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz, who is also our expert on MMORPGs.
This time, the game played is “Pick or Kill”: Two role-playing games will duel, and the guests of this episode must decide which title they currently find more exciting – and thus also which game they would prefer to talk about at this point.

The Great Duel of Role-Playing Games
Who wins in the duel between the Gothic remake and the new Fable? Will Witcher return in 2026, or does the new year belong to the new role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker, developed by former employees of CD Projekt Red?
However, it also raises the question of what constitutes a role-playing game in 2026. Is GTA, which is essentially a clear action game but has a large roleplay scene, a role-playing game? And how important are dice for a true RPG?
Finally, MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski discussed the trailers of the Game Awards during the GameStar Talk. The conversation revolved around which trailers were the best and which were rather disappointing.
