132 games for 2024 The best premieres

This list shows that there will be plenty to play

After a year full of premieres in 2023, will there be anything to play in the coming months? Yes! Here is a list of promising games to be released in 2024. It consists of “only” 132 items.

top games premiere 2024

2023 brought so many great games that there is no reason to expect a similar rash too soon. We “owe” this harvest – at least to some extent – to the pandemic, as many productions released in the last 12 months seem to have experienced post-lockdown declines (i.e. if it weren’t for remote work, they would probably have been released earlier). That’s why they accumulate so much.

It might seem, therefore, that in 2024 there will be a shortage of good games, especially since GTA VI is not to be released until 2025, and The Game Awards 2023 gala did not bring too many new announcements (the biggest one is Monster Hunter: Wilds ). Fortunately, the reality looks much more pleasant. Unless we experience a wave of declines, a lot of potentially good games will be released in 2024. The following list is proof of this statement.

I placed games and large add-ons about which at the moment we only know that they are to be released in 2024 in the second section (see the table of contents opposite). Since there are quite a lot of them – 86 to be precise – I divided them into three categories (premiere, start of early access and end of early access). Here, the inclusion of a description (or lack thereof) resulted from the (un) recognizability of a given production and/or its popularity, and the adopted order is random.

I will also mention that in the list below I have omitted items that we think will be released in 2024. To explain this, I will use the example of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring. Until FromSoftware studio announces the date or even the date of its debut, we can only assume that it will be released in 2024 (although it will probably happen, as this add-on has been in development for about 21 months).

The list below will be updated from time to time. If I missed any game that you think is worth keeping in mind, let me know in the comments.

2023 was full of great titles, which might suggest that it will be difficult to repeat such success in a short time. This is largely due to the pandemic – many of these games would probably have been released earlier if it weren’t for remote work and the delays associated with it. Still, there will be no shortage of good games in 2024. Although the biggest announcements, such as GTA VI, are scheduled for 2025, and the Game Awards 2023 gala did not bring much news, the reality looks much better. If we don’t experience a wave of delays, we’ll have a lot of potentially good games ahead of us.
