SPIEL 2026 in Essen: 1,871 new games from the official catalogue

All new releases from the SPIEL.

We read the official SPIEL Essen fair catalogue – and add the prices from our partner shops: which new games can already be pre-ordered, what do they cost, when do they appear? Plus publisher, hall, stand, designers, player count, playing time, age, RRP and mechanics from the publishers' data.

1,871 new releases · 451 already in shops · 1,712 with RRP

Where does the data come from?

Titles, publishers, dates, RRPs, player counts, playing time, age, designers, illustrators and mechanics come from the exhibitors' official MESSE catalogue data (SPIEL). The sync runs overnight; publisher changes show up the next day.
'Available in shops' means: one of our partner shops lists exactly this game, with the same title – in stock, as a pre-order or as a deal. We match by exact title – so a new release may be missing even though a shop already lists it (e.g. with a different subtitle).
Prices, availability and dates come from the daily snapshots of the partner shops; the shop's current state applies.
“Sold out” is reported by fair visitors themselves – no login needed, visible immediately. “Sold out today” lasts until midnight: some publishers bring only a few copies each day.
