Our 10 most anticipated games of 2024 include Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Star Wars Outlaws, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Hades 2.
It’s tough to imagine 2024 reaching the same heights as 2023, which was one of the best years for gaming in recent memory. That said, tons of exciting games are set to launch next year, from fresh new franchises to long-awaited sequels. We were hard-pressed to cut our list down to just ten entries, but after much consternation, we’ve done it. These are our most anticipated games scheduled to launch in 2024 on consoles and PC.Most anticipated games of 2024Avowed
Developer/Publisher: Obsidian Entertainment/Xbox Game Studios
Systems: Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release date: 2024
Obsidian is responsible for some of the most celebrated RPGs of the past two decades, from Fallout: New Vegas to Pillars of Eternity to The Outer Worlds. In 2024, the developer returns to the world of Eora from Pillar of Eternity with Avowed, a first-person action RPG with upgradeable weapons, unlockable skills, and NPCs that can join your party. You are an envoy from the Aedyr Empire tasked with investigating a mysterious plague spreading through the Living Lands. But will you save the people who call this place home or lead them to their doom?
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Developer/Publisher: Capcom
Systems: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Release date: March 22, 2024
One of the true cult hits of the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, Dragon’s Dogma finally found its audience when the enhanced version subtitled Dark Arisen arrived. This open-world action RPG sends players out into the dangerous world of Gransys to battle monsters large and small. The sequel looks to be more of the same but with an emphasis on “more” — the map is four times bigger, and there are more lines of dialogue, new monsters, new vocations, and better graphics. This should help tide open-world RPG fans over until The Elder Scrolls 6 arrives.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Developer/Publisher: Square Enix Creative Business Unit I/Square Enix
Systems: PS5
Release date: February 29, 2024
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set immediately after the events of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Once again, players will control Cloud Strife and company as they seek to stop Sephiroth from becoming an unstoppable god.
