Gamers should expect an entertaining year in 2024 with a wide selection of genres, platforms, and styles. There is something in the next releases for everyone, regardless of your preference for action, adventure, simulation, or strategy. The top games to anticipate in 2024 are listed below, with subsections for each category.
Action Games
Action games are all about fast-paced gameplay, thrilling combat, and adrenaline-pumping challenges. Some of the action games to look forward to in 2024 are:
Tekken 8
Fighting games are unique among media in their ability to combine the stylish with the bizarre; the most recent entry in Namco’s lengthy series features an intriguing roster of characters, including cyborgs, leopard-men, topless muscle-bound martial artists, boxers, and assassins.
Before facing off against others online, players may learn the ropes in the charming new Arcade Quest single-player game. Playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, Tekken 8 will launch on January 26.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
For the past ten years, Square Enix has been meticulously recreating the 1997 masterpiece Final Fantasy VII into a stunning, technically remarkable trilogy. This is the second installment. Join Cloud Strife and his group as they fight to prevent the blonde supervillain, Sephiroth, from destroying the planet.
The incredible character designs by Tetsuya Nomura and the original soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu have been updated and reworked, but they still hold the same power. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and will launch on February 29.
Dragon’s Dogma II
Never has a game been quite like 2012’s Dragon’s Dogma, a high-fantasy game akin to Tolkien’s but with a Japanese perspective. This strange follow-up takes us back to a dangerous fantasy realm rife with dramatic flourishes and massive creatures.
You venture into the wilderness with a group of friends you select, down to the breadth of their cheekbones, and test your mettle against ghouls, dragons, and other ominous creatures. It’s an imaginary game meant for fighters. Dragon’s Dogma II will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC on March 22.
Adventure Games
Adventure games are all about exploration, story, and puzzles. Some of the adventure games to look forward to in 2024 are:
Star Wars Outlaws
Even though everyone is sick of Star Wars by now, I find Ubisoft Massive’s spin on the franchise fascinating. Playing as the likable space rogue Kay Vess, you and your adorable little fuzzy land-axolotl go on a galactic crime spree in the first-ever open-world Star Wars game. Several famous Star Wars worlds are at your disposal, and they look gritty, exciting, and enjoyable. Star Wars Outlaws will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and will launch in 2024.
Thank Goodness You’re Here!
The creators of this strange adventure game have compared it to “like an unnecessarily horny seaside postcard,” capturing the essence of Viz and the Beano. Assist the citizens of a made-up northern town with their bizarre issues, such as the allotment and Big Ron’s Big Pie Shop. Thank Goodness You’re Here! It will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and will launch in 2024.
Little Nightmares 3
Although the game’s release window is only very loosely set for 2024, we do know which platforms it will be accessible on—and, shockingly, it won’t just be on current-generation consoles. When you’re ready to dive into the horrors, Little Nightmares 3 is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, giving you a ton of options.
Baby Steps
Nate is a complete loser, but he has to learn to walk one step at a time after being electrocuted and transported from the familiar surroundings of his parent’s basement to a confusing swamp.
In order to prevent Nate from soiling his already very grimy adult onesie, you, the player, must wrestle with the joystick to plant each of his feet on the ground and keep him upright as much as possible. It’s an Australian comedy with a weird twist. Baby Steps will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and will launch in summer 2024.
Simulation Games
Simulation games are all about realism, creativity, and immersion. Some of the simulation games to look forward to in 2024 are:
Life By You
The first significant rival to The Sims in over 20 years allows you to have an almost unsettling amount of power and influence over the lives of your little simulants. You may interrupt their daily routines and modify their words and actions.
This social sandbox has a lot of possibilities for player-led storytelling and experimentation, but it can also disclose more about our inner selves than we would like. Life By You will be exclusive to PC and will launch on March 5.
Pacific Drive
Drive into the Pacific Northwest during a supernatural phenomenon in your perpetually breaking-down automobile, gather supplies, steer clear of all the lightning that appears to be sentient, and then, if you make it through the ordeal, get the reliable vehicle repaired at the garage.
A survival game where the player’s relationship with the car takes center stage. Pacific Drive will be available for PlayStation 5 and PC on February 22.
Manor Lords
The much anticipated city-building game Manor Lords will finally go into Early Access on PC on April 26, 2024. It has been revealed to arrive on Xbox consoles and Xbox Game Pass at a later time during the Xbox Partner Preview. It will be accessible via PC Game Pass on Day 1.
