We’ve already passed the halfway mark of 2024, and it’s been a fantastic year for gaming with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Tekken 8, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (just kidding).
Now, let’s take a look at the most anticipated games set to release in the remainder of 2024:
College Football 25 – July 19
Excitement is an understatement for this title. After over a decade of waiting, players and fans can finally guide their favorite college teams to victory when College Football 25 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.
Black Myth: Wukong – August 20
As of June 2024, this action RPG is the most wishlisted game on Steam. While much of the story remains a mystery, it is expected to be heavily influenced by Chinese mythology. Although not officially labeled as a “soulslike,” the similarities are hard to miss. This game is poised to be a strong contender for Game of the Year.
Star Wars Outlaws – August 30
This is a dream come true for many. Ubisoft has been generous with details and gameplay previews for their upcoming action-adventure Star Wars game, set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. There won’t be any lightsaber action here, but instead, players will embark on an adventure across five planets, dealing with the galaxy’s scum and villainy.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – September 26
Finally, the moment fans have been waiting for! Players get to control Princess Zelda herself. In this game, Princess Zelda must save Link by using her abilities to summon items and creatures into the world. This game promises to be a thrilling experience.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – October 25
After the gameplay reveal for Black Ops 6, anticipation skyrocketed. The game looks truly next-gen, which is impressive given that it will also release on last-gen consoles. This could be a comeback year for the first-person shooter juggernaut.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows – November 15
The latest in the annual series, Assassin’s Creed takes players to 16th century Japan. Despite some controversies, the idea of an Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan with samurai is thrilling. Whether it lives up to the hype remains to be seen.
