17 Outstanding Modern And Classic Turn-Based RPGs

17 Outstanding Modern And Classic Turn-Based RPGs https://ift.tt/14gnkcK We thought the age of turn-based RPGs was over after the genre lost some of its luster during the more action-oriented Xbox 360 era. But something funny happened: turn-based RPGs suddenly became cool again. The evidence is clear as day. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most popular games of the decade, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was one the best reviewed new games of 2025 with a 92 on Metacritic and won Game of the Year at The Game Awards. Turn-based is all the way back, and it's never been better. As we continue to move through this new turn-based renaissance, it's worth spending a moment to take inventory of some of the best turn-based RPGs that are available right now.

But for anyone who didn't yet know Fortnite was already more than a battle royale game, this week's huge update, complete with three new games, beloved IP, and well-established studios, feels like a statement. Fortnite is changing, but its reign atop the video game world seems secure.

Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival come from Epic, Psyonix, and Harmonix, respectively, and they exist as new games found exclusively within Fortnite. After playing them myself at a press event ahead of their staggered launch dates this week, I've trained myself to not call them "modes," as any one of them would make sense as a standalone game. It's sometimes been the case where a game on another maker-game platform like Roblox gets so popular that an outside studio acquires it in a buyout. These new Fortnite releases are sort of the inverse of that. Brilliant studios have been tasked with building new games with the explicit purpose of expanding Fortnite's ecosystem.
