The most anticipated games in 2024

The year 2023 became one of the most sensational in the history of the gaming industry. After such a stream of high-profile releases, it will be difficult to surprise the community, but 2024 will also delight us with excellent games. Among them are both niche products and new releases anticipated by many gamers.

We will talk about the most anticipated games of 2024. Everyone may have their long-awaited release, but here we will discuss the titles that have attracted the attention of a large number of gamers.

Tekken 8

The long-awaited continuation of the legendary fighting series will be released very soon. For fans, this is a real celebration, as the game will retain its previous concept, but will also bring in novelties.

The most significant innovation is the transition to the Unreal Engine 5. The graphics in Tekken 8 are astounding, making the fights incredibly vivid. The developers have also worked hard on the behavior of artificial intelligence. If you have no one to share the gameplay with, the bots will provide competition.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown

The return of a legend is also expected in the racing genre. The Test Drive Unlimited series became the forerunner of all modern arcade races with a vast open world. After many years of oblivion, the titan of the industry is coming back with a high-profile release.

Fans of the series are eagerly awaiting this game. It's not just racing through huge locations, as previous projects were full-fledged simulators of the life of a free-spirited race car driver. From part 3, we expect complete freedom of action, excellent graphics, meticulously detailed cars, NPCs with their own characters, and races in different styles.

Skull and Bones

This project has a very complicated history. Following the success of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Ubisoft decided to make an adventure action game entirely dedicated to pirate life. The developers' idea was to offer players a vast world, PvE and PvP missions, numerous ships, upgrades, and treasure hunting. Fans were thrilled with such news, and for many, Skull and Bones became the game of their dreams. Then came oblivion.

The project was already written off and forgotten, but recently Ubisoft reignited interest, and a closed test started at the end of 2023. Once again, Skull and Bones has become one of the most anticipated games for the press and players. The release is planned for 2024.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

The remake of the legendary game has been split into parts, and on February 29, we will receive another piece of this wonderful game. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will finally give us more freedom, and the story will break out of the confines of the tight city. The story will continue, and we will be able to try out the new and invigorating gameplay. Even Chocobo racing is included.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is not only one of the most anticipated games of 2024, but it is also a potential contender for the title of "Game of the Year 2024". It will be very difficult to compete against this project, although the next game might take the title for itself.

Dragon’s Dogma II

CAPCOM will once again delight us with monsters, but this time on an entirely new level. We might be witnessing the rise of a new star in the action-RPG genre. Dragon’s Dogma II incorporates the best of the first part and adds all the accumulated experience of the company over the years. As a result, we can expect a unique game, unparalleled in its genre.

The huge open world has become more enriched, and the monsters that inhabit it are even bigger and more dangerous. The leveling system has become more flexible, and the combat system is much more dynamic. Mechanics of spell and attack combinations have been introduced, so there will be a lot of action. Gamers eagerly await this new release, and it could possibly become the best game of 2024.

Black Myth: Wukong

This project has attracted the close attention of gamers and the press for several years, yet it remains a mystery. Black Myth: Wukong is a souls-like game very similar to the well-known Dark Souls franchise. What's mysterious about this? There is not much information about the project, even though it is set to release in August. The developers have not previously worked on games of this scale, so there are risks involved.

In any case, we can expect true challenging souls-like with gigantic bosses and a very dark world. The story will unfold in a fictional world filled with Ancient Chinese mythology. All fans of the genre await the release and are hopeful for the best.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Despite a vast fan community, games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe are released infrequently. Each release is a major event, but the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is awaited even by those not particularly familiar with the franchise. Players can expect a brutal, harsh, and gothic action game featuring a squad of Space Marines from the Ultramarines legion.

The developers have learned from the mistakes of the first part, which was loved by fans but overlooked by others. This time, more action, a clearer storyline, and a robust cooperative mode are promised.

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2

The wait for the sequel to the cult vampire RPG has been lengthy. The release has been postponed for several years, but this time the developers are determined. Fans hope that the delay will benefit the game, as the first part was in a terrible state and survived only thanks to community support.

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 is an RPG where you take on the role of a vampire. These eerie beings are divided into clans, each with its unique gameplay style and role-playing elements.

Hades 2

One of the most anticipated games on Steam is Hades II. This rogue-like action game has become iconic in its genre and is much loved by fans. The sequel will tell us about the sister of the main character from the previous part. Players will once again encounter the gods of Olympus, tons of loot, hundreds of builds, and exhilarating gameplay. New modes will also be included to test the players' mettle.

Frostpunk 2

For fans of the strategy genre, there will also be a treat in 2024. The phenomenally successful strategy game about an icy apocalypse will receive a sequel. In Frostpunk 2, players can expect even more challenges and room to solve them.

The game will feature scale. Now the city will have its own large districts that need to be connected to the center. The inhabitants will face new problems, and you will have to make even more difficult moral choices.

Star Wars: Outlaws

Ubisoft is not stopping with just one game release in 2024. Fans of the Star Wars franchise eagerly await the release of the adventure action game Star Wars: Outlaws. As it's a Ubisoft game, players can expect expansive, beautiful locations with hundreds of activities and lively gameplay. One should hardly doubt that endless clearing of enemy outposts will be a part of it.

Here, players will not become a renowned Jedi or a great hero, but a mercenary in the spirit of Han Solo. The game's actions will take place between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

An action game bordering on psychological horror, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, is set to continue in 2024. The game's graphics have reached a higher level, making it even harder to distinguish from a movie, as seen from the trailers. The direction also appears to have improved in quality.

Otherwise, it will continue the story. Players can expect an engrossing storyline, dramatic plot twists, and chilling terror.

ARK 2

The announcement of the second installment of the popular survival game ARK: Survival Evolved came as a surprise to gamers. The game is set for release in 2024, but what has changed?

Firstly, the title has become shorter and more convenient. Secondly, there will be a storyline featuring Vin Diesel in the leading role. Unfortunately, these are all the details available, but the project is still eagerly anticipated by gamers and the press.

Silent Hill 2 Remake

In recent years, remakes of old games have become frequent, but this remake can be boldly called one of the most anticipated in the history of video games. The cult psychological horror Silent Hill 2 will appear in a new guise in 2024. Fans are already preparing to pre-order.

However, there are some concerns. The development of the project was entrusted to Bloober Team, which has not been known for major releases. Nevertheless, for many, Silent Hill 2 Remake could become their personal game of the year.

Homeworld 3

Completing the list is a major event for all fans of the RTS genre. The legendary series of space strategies will be expanded with a third project. The release has been postponed several times, as the developers have been carefully following the evolution of the genre and wanted to release the perfect game for gamers.

These were the most anticipated games of 2024. Undoubtedly, we could have made the list longer, but we tried to cover the most high-profile releases of 2024.
