Did you think RTS was dead? Well what I show you here today might convince you otherwise. I've played RTS since the first one. I've since talked about the best RTS of all time and yeah we've been in a slump but 2026 is looking like the best year for real-time strategy gaming that we've had in an age and I've got 20 games to talk about, some updated but mostly brand new, that prove finally this strategic genre is back on the rise.

As you can see, just because you're down doesn't mean you're out and the RTS genre, through the efforts of indie devs and the communities keeping things alive, have turned the searchlights back towards the genre, making even big budget AAA productions to get back into it. But what do you think? Which RTS are you looking forward to the most, maybe something next year is on your radar too? ━━━━━━━━━━ ► TWITCH - Subscribe for early access videos from streams https://www.gamerzakh.com/twitch ♣ DISCORD - Hang out with the fantastic community https://www.gamerzakh.com/discord ♥ PATREON - Support what we do https://www.gamerzakh.com/patreon ♠ BUY GAMES & SUPPORT - GOG Referral Link https://af.gog.com/?as=1715648857 ♦ MERCH - Things I designed myself https://www.gamerzakh.com/store BUY ME A COFFEE - Tips instantly support https://www.gamerzakh.com/coffee » WEBSITE: https://www.gamerzakh.com/ » BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/gamerzakh.com ♫ SPOTIFY Gaming Faves Playlist https://www.gamerzakh.com/spotify Subscribe for more and thanks for watching!
