Disney D23 Expo 2026: What to Expect for Disney Games

The biannual Disney D23 expo is back in 2026, with a focus on Disney's video games and potential reveals of Star Wars and Marvel titles.

Running from August 14-16, Disney has teased an 'exclusive preview' on the first day of the show, with the Disney Entertainment Showcase featuring games alongside announcements for movies, television, and live stage productions. Disney has revealed details on two of its games, including a panel celebrating the 25th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts. With Kingdom Hearts 4 making a surprise appearance during last month's Nintendo Direct, this year's D23 could be a prime opportunity to showcase more of the long-awaited Square Enix title. Disney Dreamlight Valley will also have a panel, with developers offering a sneak peek at new content.

While specific details remain unknown, it's speculated that Star Wars games might take the spotlight as well. Two games are set for imminent release: the tactical-RPG Star Wars: Zero Company on August 27 and the high-speed Star Wars: Galactic Racer on October 6. Future projects from the Star Wars universe include Star Wars Jedi 3 from Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, Saber Interactive's Knights of the Old Republic remake, and Star Wars Eclipse from Quantic Dream. On the Marvel front, Insomniac's Wolverine game launches in September, although its presence at D23 may focus on family-friendly content.

The game will have a presence later this month at San Diego Comic-Con, alongside Arc System Works' new fighting game, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.
