There’s a lot coming out in 2026! Here’s the quick summary in case you missed it.

New Puzzle Releases to Watch For

Several puzzles are scheduled for release or development in 2026!

Winter Book Haven

This 1000-piece puzzle will release in February. I loved drawing this cozy book space in the midst of a dreary afternoon of sleet and freezing rain.

Six Portals 1000-piece Version

Ravensburger will release a 1000-piece version of Six Portals sometime in 2026!

The Aquarium Gown

Currently halfway through its design phase, The Aquarium Gown puzzle is expected to be completed by the end of January and released to Backerkit supporters. After people have received their pledges, it will be available through Tate & Co.

The Dance at Watersglade

This Centernia themed underwater casino puzzle will also be going to Backerkit backers first, later this spring.

Misa and the Sunset Road

Although the title is tentative, this puzzle is midway through design and will be revisited after The Dance at Watersglade is completed.

Micropuzzles

These are going through the manufacturing and proofing process. Once complete, backers will receive their limited-edition Centernia set. The Starlight Desert will be available to anyone who wishes to purchase it direct though my website.

Audiobooks and Books Expanding the Centernia Universe

The Centernia series continues to grow with new audiobook and book releases planned for 2026:

The Mark of the Castle Audiobook

Jamie-Lyn Markos returns to give a voice to the Centernia universe. This audiobook is now available on Audible, and will soon be accessible on other platforms.

Whispers in the Azure Audiobook

Currently in the recording stage, this audiobook will add another layer to the Centernia storytelling experience.

Centernia: Child of Aurumice

The fourth novel in the Centernia series has an official release date set for 2026.

Tales of Centernia: Volume 1

The first short-story collection from the Centernia universe will also debut in 2026. This volume offers readers a chance to explore side stories and new perspectives within the world they love.

Additional 2026 Centernia Projects

Several other projects are underway to enhance the Centernia experience:

Timeline Guide for Puzzlers

A timeline guide will be created to help puzzlers understand which puzzles fit into the Centernia universe. This guide will clarify the connections between puzzles and the overarching story, making it easier to follow the narrative thread.
