Video Game Releases 2024 Calendar

Last year was marked by a bunch of long-awaited releases. This year won’t be boring either, as an incredible number of large and small, long and short, epic and boutique games releasing in 2024 await us. For example, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is perhaps the most anticipated release of this year from Ukrainian developers. The latest trailers promise not only beautiful landscapes of the Zone but also an interesting plot and characters. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a long-awaited continuation of the fantasy RPG that has become a cult title, not least thanks to the battles with huge monsters. This year, we will also see a continuation of the remake of the cult Final Fantasy 7 (1997) called Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In general, there are many interesting games coming out in 2024. So, let’s start with the list of the most anticipated projects that will be released over the next six months.

January

January has begun with an updated PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2. However, this time, we will be pleased not only with updated graphics and support for all Dualsense features but also with a new roguelike mode. Fans of fighting games can finally wait for the release of Tekken 8, and developers from Ubisoft will delight us with a new game from the Prince of Persia series. Below, you’ll see all the video game release dates in January. 

February

February is replete with upcoming games of various genres. JRPG fans will finally continue Cloud’s adventures in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The long-awaited Granblue Fantasy: Relink will also be released. Also, we at GameTree are really looking forward to a major multiplayer pirate-themed game, Skull & Bones. We can’t wait to play the new release from Ubisoft all together! A superhero action game from the Batman universe, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, will also be released in February.

March

Don’t miss another big 2024 game release in March, Dragon’s Dogma 2. Fans of the samurai era will love Rise of the Ronin. There will also be a continuation of the legendary strategy Homeworld 3 about epic space battles. Alone in the Dark once became the ‘father’ of the survival horror genre, but over the years, this series has become much worse. We hope that it will be reborn in March.

April

An interesting metroidvania platformer, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, will be released in April. Here, you will have an adventure in the beautiful and treacherous lands of Kenzera. Your character is Zau, a young shaman who made a deal with the god of death to bring his father back from the darkness.

For fans of mech battles against aliens, a new part of Megaton Musashi: Wired will be released. This year, we will be pleased with a variety of upcoming games in the JRPG genre. In April, another interesting representative of this genre will be Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

May

In May, only the continuation of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has been announced so far. However, in a couple of months, some other top-tier and interesting upcoming games from the unannounced ones may receive a final release date in May.

June

Speaking of video game release dates in June, we have a new addition to Destiny 2 on our list: The Final Shape. This is the culmination of key events in the game world and not the end but the beginning of a new chapter. Destiny 2: The Final Shape will also mark the transition to an episodic model instead of the battle passes already familiar to the players.

Games Coming Out In 2024 With Release Date TBA

Besides the expected games that already have a fixed release date, there are quite a few games releasing in 2024 whose dates of releases are not yet announced. We can expect some tentative release dates for previously announced games, such as The Wolf Among Us 2, Star Wars Outlaws, and many more in the coming months. Regarding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the developers have scheduled the video game release date for September 5 after the recent release delay.

Below, we have collected all the upcoming games that do not yet have a release date.

Platforms To Watch In 2024

The 2024 game release calendar includes a variety of releases for all major platforms, both consoles and PC. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, as the newest available consoles, have a strong lineup of games across various genres. However, Nintendo Switch is no worse and will also offer players many hits, including from internal studios. Whichever platform you prefer, this year is sure to include some interesting releases for you.

Top 5 GameTree’s Most Anticipated Games Of 2024

Of course, not all games releasing in 2024 are worth attention. Some go unnoticed; others receive low ratings from critics and players. Yet, some games receive high ratings from the moment of announcement and get into all the listings. We’ve put together our own list of the upcoming games we’re most looking forward to.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape

The Final Shape, the eighth DLC for Destiny 2, is another anticipated video game releasing in 2024. The Final Shape is described as the final content pack for The Light and Darkness Saga, bringing everything that has happened up to this point to a climax. The Vanguard is united, and legends from all corners of the galaxy come together to show their bravery in the upcoming conflict. Together, we will travel to a place of new adventures and old memories, where the Witness continues its subversion, promising oblivion if we do not fight.

Also, with this DLC for the game coming soon, the developers will switch to a new system of episodes with new content instead of the usual battle passes. The developers promise that a little more time will pass between episode releases, and the add-ons themselves will ultimately provide more content. We look forward to a new rebirth and continuation of the franchise, which has been delighting fans for many years now. And while waiting we have some time to find Destiny 2 teammates, who’ll share this adventure with us in the future, and we advise you to do the same.

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

• Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X/S
• Release Date: September 5

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is one of the most anticipated and unusual games releasing in 2024. Many years have passed since the release of the previous part, and we can’t wait to find out what the developers have done this time and what new adventures await us in the beloved dark exclusion zone.

We all love S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for its dense atmosphere, intense firefights, and dangerous anomalies. Creepy mutants and the feeling of a living, breathing ecosystem hidden in the Chornobyl zone make the adventure simply unforgettable.

We can’t wait to see this big game release in 2024, and we also hope that it was the last delay of the game and we can all plunge into this world this fall.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
• Release Date: February 2

This new action shooter game releasing soon will take place in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham series. The game follows four supervillains, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and King Shark, who are gathered by Amanda Waller and sent to Metropolis to stop the alien invader Brainiac and kill the Justice League members. The open-world design will allow players to roam freely and explore Metropolis both solo and in a four-player co-op.

Skull & Bones

• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
• Release Date: February 16

A multiplayer game releasing in 2024 about epic ship battles and a pirate setting in the waters of the Indian Ocean will finally be released soon! The player can customize their pirate ship and go into the open world, alone or with other players. In addition to a variety of PVE content, players will also have access to PVP mode in controversial waters. Pirate-themed games are rarely released, so all fans of this setting should not miss Skull & Bones.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

• Platforms: PS5

• Release Date: February 29 

The Final Fantasy 7 remake was more than just a reimagining of the 1997 classic; it sought to reinvent the characters, narrative, and locations we’ve adored for decades. And now we have the long-awaited continuation of the remake called Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Square Enix did a tremendous job in the remake and not only changed the graphics and completely rethought the combat, which became more dynamic, but also rewrote the story in a new way. That is why the upcoming game no longer seems predictable to those who are familiar with the original game. 

The developers managed to attract a new audience but not disappoint old fans and allowed them to look at the well-known story differently. Therefore, we are looking forward to continuing the adventure of Cloud and his allies. Those who haven’t had time to get acquainted with this wonderful game should start with the first part of the remake, released in 2020 since Rebirth is a direct continuation of the story of the game coming out this year.
