2023 has had a plethora of great video game releases. Baldur’s Gate 3, Spider Man 2, Starfield,and more. And while we still have big releases this year like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, 2024 is shaping up to be an interesting year for video games too. A blend of original titles and successors to beloved entries awaits gamers in 2024. Can it replicate this year’s successes?
7.Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Release Date: January 18, 2024 on most consoles
2010 was the last time we had a Prince of Persia game. While the newest entry won’t feature the same plotline and characters, its fast paced gameplay and new direction will hopefully revive and bring the series back into the picture. The first trailer did stir up some divisive reactions but it has been subsequently endorsed by the series creator, Jordan Mechner.
6.Star Wars Outlaws
Release Date: TBD 2024 on PS5, XBox Series X/S, and Windows
The Star Wars games have had up and down reception for years. But with the Jedi series’ success, there is a new hope (pun intended) for the future of Star Wars video games. This bold new game will be an open world adventure set in between movies 5 and 6. The promise of exploring the Star Wars world and the diverse gameplay mechanics showcased have gamers and Star Wars fans foaming at the mouth for its release next year.
5.Alone in the Dark
Release Date: January 16, 2024 on PS5, XBox Series X/S, and Windows
The Alone in The Dark series was considered to be DOA after the last entry was poorly received in 2018. But this star studded remake headed by THQ will bring the franchise back to basics and throw fans back into the horror of the Louisiana bayou once again.
4.Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Release Date: February 2, 2024 on PS5, XBox Series X/S, and Windows
After many delays, it’s here. The game follows the Suicide Squad trying to stop a brainwashed Justice League and Brainiac from taking over the world. The promise of exciting gameplay, an intriguing story, and Kevin Conroy’s final portrayal as Batman is going to be a must get for fans of DC and the Arkham series.
3.Tekken 8
Release Date: January 26, 2024 on PS5, XBox Series X/S, and Windows
Tekken 7 was a massive hit with fighting game fans, and has been considered the best in the series. With the return of the beloved mechanics, old and new characters, and a promise to top Tekken 7, fighting game fans are going to love what Tekken 8 offers.
2.Skull and Bones
Release Date: TBD 2024 on Amazon Luna, PS5, XBox Series X/S, and Windows
This tactical action game sees the player engage in naval warfare in the Golden Age of Piracy. This game has been in development for a decade and hopefully has been polished to offer a fun and exciting new tactical game to the midst and capitalize on how popular pirates are right now.
1.Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Release Date: January 26, 2024 on PS4, PS5, XBox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows
The Like A Dragon series, formerly known as the Yakuza series, is going to new places (specifically, Hawaii) with this game. It promises to give gamers all the things that make the series so beloved with focus on the beloved character Ichiban and new characters and minigames for gamers to interact with in this new setting.
Other exciting 2024 games include: Pacific Drive, Wolf Among Us 2, Final Fantasy VII, Rise of the Ronin, and Black Myth: Wukong
