The nominees for the Pégases 2026 have been announced, which will be the best French games?


A leading trio emerges

Because yes, there were a plethora of good French games this year. The success of Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33 should not make us forget the rest of the French production, even if the Sandfall Interactive title is naturally very present within the various categories offered by the Pegasus. As a reminder, the French ceremony will take place on Thursday March 5, 2026 at 8 p.m. live from La Cigale in Paris.
