IGN Fan Fest 2026: You Won't BELIEVE What's Coming!

Alright, folks, mark your calendars! IGN Fan Fest is roaring back for its seventh year later this month, and if you're anything like me, you're already buzzing with anticipation. This isn't just another online event; it's a deep dive into the universes we love, packed to the brim with exclusive reveals, trailers that'll make your jaw drop, and intimate interviews with the creative minds behind it all.

IGN Fan Fest 2026: You Won't BELIEVE What's Coming...

Seriously, the lineup is insane. We're talking about potential first looks at *LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight*, a new James Bond adventure with *007 First Light*, and *Mortal Kombat II* – yes, you read that right! Plus, horror fans, get ready for *Scream 7* – hopefully they’ll finally figure out who the killer is (no spoilers!). And if you're into sci-fi, there's even a glimpse at the adaptation of Andy Weir's (of *The Martian* fame) *Project Hail Mary*. Not to mention, the Straw Hats are setting sail with more *One Piece* goodness. It's a veritable feast for fans of all stripes.

So, how do you get in on the action? IGN Fan Fest 2026 is spreading the love over two days of livestreams, February 25th and 26th, with each day kicking off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST. But the party starts even earlier, with a pre-show on February 23rd, promising even more first looks, exclusives, and those tantalizing interviews we all crave. Trust me, you’ll want to clear your schedules.

But wait, there's more! Beyond the blockbuster titles, we're hearing rumblings of brand-new game announcements from a whole host of studios, including Red Octane Games (remember *Guitar Hero*?!), Limited Run Games, Hyperkin, Running With Scissors (anyone for some Postal?), and Kwalee. Basically, expect the unexpected!

And of course, what’s a Fan Fest without some celebrity wattage? Word on the street is we're getting a sneak peek at the revival of the classic '90s sports franchise, *Backyard Baseball*, with an all-new game hitting shelves (or digital stores) this summer. I have fond memories of playing that game as a kid, so I’m particularly excited about this one! Expect some familiar faces and new surprises in the exclusive trailer.

Finally, for those looking for something a little different, the free-to-play supernatural urban open-world RPG, *Neverness to Everness (NTE)*, is poised to make a major announcement. We're promised a deep dive into its combat system, side activities, and… a wanted system? Color me intrigued.

In the meantime, if you need a fix before February rolls around, you can always revisit the highlights from IGN's October Fan Fest. Predator: Badlands, The Witcher Season 4, Return to Silent Hill, and that Keanu Reeves interview? Good stuff. Honestly, this event just keeps getting bigger and better each year, so get ready to settle in and enjoy the ride!
