Drafting Our Most Anticipated Games Of 2026 | The Game Informer Show
A new year is here, and that means an entirely new slate of games to look forward to! Polygon editor-at-large Giovanni Colantonio joins Marcus, Charles and Eric to discuss what they played over the holidays, as they picked at their backlogs and indulged their guiltiest pleasures.
Then, we roll some dice for a snake-style draft and each pick our five most anticipated games of 2026. From the big games like Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil to the hidden gems you should keep an eye out for, there’s a little bit of everything in this week. Let us know in the comments who you think won the draft!
