A French C-RPG might just steal the show in 2026... Studio Tactical Adventures took the opportunity during the pre-show of the Game Awards 2025 to unveil more details about their upcoming game, with a series of major announcements surrounding Solasta II, their new tactical RPG inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Set for early access on March 12, 2026 on PC, this highly anticipated sequel to Solasta: Crown of the Magister aims to establish itself as one of the leading C-RPGs on the global stage, driven by a unique universe and a deeply revamped strategic gameplay experience.
In this unique universe, shaped by local beliefs and the rich history of its inhabitants, players will discover varied environments—from storm-swept ruins to light-filled sanctuaries—and tactical combat inspired by board games, where every action is influenced by dice rolls. The game will also feature a revamped interface and redesigned mechanics for a more fluid and strategic experience.
Once again immersing players in the heart of Neokos, Solasta II continues the studio’s mission: to translate the richness of traditional tabletop role-playing into a digital experience, featuring combat influenced by dice rolls, a redesigned interface, and updated mechanics.
During the pre-show, Tactical Adventures revealed a major highlight: a top-tier voice cast. Among the announced talent are Devorah Wilde, renowned for voicing Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3, and Ben Starr, known for his roles in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Final Fantasy XVI. These two iconic voices underscore the studio’s ambition to compete with the biggest names in the genre.
Built on the solid foundations of its 2024 demo, which was widely praised, Solasta II is now emerging as the French counterpart to Baldur's Gate 3, confidently embracing the influence of Larian Studios on modern CRPGs. Published by Kepler Interactive, this title promises an ambitious adventure that combines open-ended exploration, rich storytelling, and tactical precision. Fans of the genre will definitely want to keep a close eye on its early access launch set for spring 2026.
Building on the legacy of Solasta: Crown of the Magister, this sequel continues to draw on the studio's expertise in deep tactical gameplay true to tabletop role-playing, while expanding the story to provide greater freedom of choice. Incorporating the official Dungeons & Dragons 2024 rules, Solasta II represents a bold step forward for the franchise.
"With Neokos, we wanted to create a world that seems wonderful but also firmly rooted in reality. A place where every encounter brings a deeper story," explains Xavier Penin, Game Director at Tactical Adventures. Creative Director Mathieu Girard adds: "We are very happy to finally be able to show a broader glimpse of our project, and to continue building this world with our community when the game is released in Early Access and beyond."
