Happy New Year’s Eve. After the ball drops and the confetti remains as strands on your sticky flooring, you’ll likely turn your attention back to your passion – gaming. Or yeah, your family, work, and fitness plan as well. But gaming.
With that said, let’s look at a few potentially big 2024 gaming releases.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Gear up for another wild ride with ‘Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’. This isn’t your typical button-masher; it’s a deep dive into Yakuza’s underworld with a twist of turn-based brawls. Ichiban’s back, and the stakes are higher than ever with a storyline that’s packed with emotional gut punches.
Expect the usual Yakuza-style insanity – we’re talking off-the-wall side quests and absurd humor, all wrapped in an RPG package that’ll hit you right in the feels. Plus, rumor has it there’s an Animal Crossing-style sim mode. Talk about mixing things up!
Scheduled for release on January 26, 2024
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Get ready to have your minds blown with ‘Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a total rework of the classic, with Square Enix throwing us curveballs left and right. We’re talking a whole new take on Cloud’s saga, with the devs promising to shake things up.
Expect top-notch graphics, epic battles, and a story that keeps you guessing. And let’s not forget about the character depth – we might see some fresh angles on fan-faves like Vincent Valentine. If you thought the Remake was a wild ride, strap in, because ‘Rebirth’ is cranking it up to eleven.
Planned to be released on February 29, 2024
Senna’s Saga: Hellblade 2
Brace yourselves for ‘Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’, folks. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill hack and slash; it’s a deep dive into the psyche with a narrative that’s as raw as it gets. The first game set the bar with its portrayal of psychosis, and the sequel’s looking to push boundaries even further.
We’re talking a more cinematic experience, beefed-up combat, and a storyline that hits hard. Ninja Theory’s not just upping the ante on graphics and gameplay; they’re keeping the soul of the game intact, diving headfirst into themes most devs wouldn’t dare touch. This one’s not just a game; it’s a full-blown experience.
The release date is to be announced (TBA) within 2024, but a specific date had not been confirmed.
Of course, these are only a few titles that stand out in the mature gaming category. The gaming industry is likely to put out more and hopefully, surprise us.
