Our most anticipated video games of 2024

We're coming to the end of 2023, a year with plenty of bangers. Fortunately, 2024 is shaping up to be as great or even better, and is sure to have its share of surprises in store for us. In the course of this selection, you'll be able to discover our most anticipated titles, bearing in mind that these remain subjective. This is why you may not find the ones you want the most, and why works such as Avowed or Persona 3 Reload are not included in this review.

What's more, we'd like to make it clear that we only cover games confirmed for release in 2024. This is why titles such as Silent Hill 2, Death Stranding 2, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Hollow Knight: Silksong are also absent from this list. So, without further ado, let's rock!

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
  • January 18, 2024

Ubisoft Montpellier is about to make its return in a few days' time with a brand-new title. This is encouraging news, especially considering that the developers are facing difficulties working simultaneously on Beyond Good & Evil II.

The teams are embarking on the resurrection of an iconic video game license with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a 2D metroidvania with great art direction.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
  • January 26th, 2024

The eighth installment in the Yakuza saga is set to make its debut soon. It already promises an adventure as entertaining and crazy as ever. Retaining its turn-based RPG approach, the game offers a new adventure with plenty of hilarious, unabashed dialogues and mini-games.

Our protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, is sure to provide moments of pure amusement. The action takes place not only in Japan, but also in Hawaii, offering a great variety of settings for this adventure.

Tekken 8

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • January 26th, 2024

It looks like we're off to a great start in 2024 with the long-awaited return of one of fighting games' most iconic franchises. Tekken 8 is just around the corner, and promises to provide fans of the genre with a veritable feast.

With over 30 playable characters and more than 15 stages announced, Tekken 8 is sure to keep us thrilled for lots of hours. We can't wait to rediscoverour iconic heroes alongside some newcomers.

Skull and Bones

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • February 16, 2024

Like Beyond Good & Evil II, Skull and Bones is one of Ubisoft's long-awaited projects. Announced several years ago, it has undergone successive delays. However, we should finally be able to try it out soon, as Ubisoft has set a release date of February 16, 2024.

This multiplayer pirate game promises to be an interesting blend of elements from Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Sea of Thieves. Skull and Bones offers the prospect of spectacular naval battles and dynamic confrontations.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

  • PlayStation 5
  • February 29, 2024

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. This project is planned in three episodes, aiming to offer a completely reworked and improved version of the original title released in 1997.

With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, you'll have the opportunity to plunge back into the adventures of Cloud and his companions, who are confronted by the fearsome Sephiroth. These remakes took many years to develop, which is understandable given the depth and of the original universe.

Alone in the Dark

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • March 20, 2024

After several years of silence, the famous horror saga is back. Alone in the Dark disappeared from the radar after the much-maligned Alone in the Dark: Illumination, released on PC in 2015.

This time, the license makes its comeback in a rather hybrid form, with a sort of reboot and remake of the first Game. We hope that, what with going back to its origins, Alone in the Dark will make us scream out of fear once again.

Dragon's Dogma 2

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • March 22, 2024

More than ten years after its first installment, Dragon's Dogma is finally back with a new game. In the tradition of action-RPGs, this Capcom title promises spectacular moments and unending thrills.

Dragon's Dogma 2 offers dynamic combat, remarkable art direction and a promising story. It remains to be seen whether, after so many years, fans will have reasonable expectations, and whether the end result will live up to their expectations.

Rise of the Ronin

  • PlayStation 5
  • March 22nd, 2024

This PlayStation 5 exclusive raises high hopes among action-RPG fans, especially given that the developers behind Ninja Gaiden and Nioh are at the helm of this brand-new IP.

Rise of the Ronin transports us to an open world in Japan where we'll get to enjoy intense combat and an adventure as rich as it is captivating.

Princess Peach: Showtime!

  • Nintendo Switch
  • March 22, 2024

Princess Peach: Showtime! looks set to breathe new life into the Mario universe, offering for the first time an adventure in which Peach is the central character.

In this 2D universe, the famous princess will be able to metamorphose and acquire special abilities depending on the different outfits she wears.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

  • PC, Xbox Series X|S
  • 1st quarter 2024

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been delayed several times over the years. However, it would seem that 2024 is finally the year for this emblematic survival-horror franchise.

This second game will plunge you into a post-apocalyptic open world, pitting you against formidable adversaries in an environment hostile to human life. The game promises a dense, dynamic universe, accompanied by breathtaking graphics.

Black Myth: Wukong

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • August 20, 2024

Black Myth: Wukong promises to be an experience for fans of the Action-RPG/Souls-like genre, offering an adaptation of the famous novel "Journey to the West". Of course, the game won't faithfully reproduce every detail of the literary tale, but will draw inspiration from some of its elements.

Black Myth: Wukong's attention-grabbing art direction and impressive technical aspects are what really set it apart. The combat, meanwhile, promises to be both fearsomely challenging and incredibly satisfying.

Star Wars Outlaws

  • PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
  • 2024

Every Star Wars game release is an event, and Star Wars Outlaws is no exception. This time, Ubisoft and its studio Massive Entertainment take on the heavy responsibility of adapting this iconic universe into a video game.

Presented as a single-player action-adventure, it plunges us into a vast open world, inviting us to follow the adventures of an outlaw by the name of Kay Vess and her companion Nix, a most adorable creature.

Hades II

  • PC
  • 2024

When the first Hades was released in 2020, it quickly became a huge success, both critically and commercially. It should come as no surprise that this sequel is eagerly awaited by those won over by the previous game.

Remaining true to its Hack'n slash and Roguelike root, fans of the genre should feel right at home with this sequel. However, it does promise to introduce its share of new features. The developers are planning plenty of content, with regular updates. These will include new characters and deeper relationships between existing ones. The adventure is set to follow the adventures of Melinoë, Zagreus' half-sister and Hades' comrade.

Hellblade II: Senua's Saga

  • PC, Xbox Series X|S
  • 2024

The first installment caused a sensation by tackling a powerful subject: mental health. We embodied Senua, a heroine evolving in a world inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture.

The sequel will continue the story of Senua, offering breathtaking graphics and a universe as dark and disturbing as ever.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

  • PC, Xbox Series X|S
  • 2024

After dazzling the gaming industry with its previous flight simulator launched in 2020, Asobo Studio is set to make its return with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

This will not be a simple update, but a brand new game that comes with plenty of new features, offering a more realistic and immersive flight experience. What's more, players will be able to take on the role of various professionals, such as a Canadair pilot, an air ambulance driver, and many others.
