Insider Gaming is kicking off 2027 with our next major games showcase, as New Year, New Games 2027 officially arrives on Thursday, January 14, 2027.
Following our successful 28 Games Later Horror Showcase, New Year, New Games highlights games targeting a 2027 release. That means you’ll only see games that are releasing either in Early Access or 1.0, have major expansions or DLC, or a major update scheduled for 2027.
There’s no multi-year waiting here.
As with past Insider Gaming showcases, this event will feature back-to-back reveals and trailers from games and studios of all sizes. Following the broadcast, Insider Gaming will provide in-depth coverage of featured titles through individual interviews, articles on Insider-Gaming.com, a dedicated showcase newsletter, and content in the Insider Gaming App.
The show is currently scheduled to air on Thursday, January 14 at 3pm ET/8pm GMT and will air on all Insider Gaming platforms. We’ll also have a number of co-streaming partners airing the event.
