20 Upcoming Video Games That Could Be Surprise Hits

20. Big Walk

Developer House House - the team behind 2019's viral indie hit Untitled Goose Game - is back with their long-awaited next title Big Walk, which could very well be 2026's big co-op hit.

Up to four players can team up to traverse the game's vibrant, open world bushland environment, solving puzzles in order to progress with communication being key.

Though Big Walk has proximity chat, you'll often be separated enough from your cohort that you'll need to rely on gestures and codes in order to get your message across.

House House has emphasised that the experience is a casual one designed entirely around hanging out with friends and forging a joint path forward, which sounds like a perfect antidote to the avalanche of cinematic AAA releases we'll all surely play next year.

Don't be too shocked if Big Walk basically becomes next year's Peak - a sly word-of-mouth co-op hit that millions won't be able to stop playing with their pals.

Big Walk releases TBA 2026.
