The past year 2023 turned out to be very rich in gaming novelties. Many great projects were released, such as Resident Evil 4, Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Atomic Heart, and many others. After a bright 2023, it may seem that 2024 will be boring in terms of releases, but this is not the case. Ahead of us await no less exciting projects.
Today we will talk about the most anticipated games that will be released in 2024. We will tell you about their plot and gameplay features, as well as what is currently known about the upcoming novelties.
Avowed
Avowed is a first-person action RPG being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, known for cult RPGs like Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2.
Plot of Avowed
The game is set in the fantasy world of Eora. The kingdom of Aedyr sends the main character to investigate rumors of a plague that has stricken the Living Lands. The player embarks on a journey to uncover an ancient secret to save the world from an impending disaster.
All decisions will have consequences, so gamers will need to carefully consider their actions. Non-linearity is a main feature of Obsidian Entertainment’s projects.
Gameplay of Avowed
There won’t be a full open world in the game. Instead, developers will prepare several large locations divided by loading screens, similar to the world structure in The Outer Worlds.
The gameplay foundation is world exploration and combat. Battles will take place in real-time. Players will have to timely block and parry attacks, as well as skillfully combine melee and ranged weapons. For example, a cold weapon can be placed in the left hand, while a magical spell can be assigned to the right hand.
The exact release date of Avowed is still unknown, but according to developers, the game is expected to release in 2024. It will be a Microsoft exclusive, meaning it will only be available on PC, Xbox Series consoles, and in the Game Pass service.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG being developed by Capcom's internal studio. The project lead is Hideaki Itsuno, a Japanese game designer who headed the development of the first Dragon’s Dogma released in 2012.
Plot of Dragon’s Dogma 2
The upcoming title is more of a reboot than a sequel since the plot premise does not change: a dragon steals the protagonist's heart, and the protagonist gathers a squad of mercenaries to get it back. The player awaits numerous adventures, random encounters, and political intrigues between two warring states.
Gameplay of Dragon’s Dogma 2
The game will feature a huge open world, several times larger than the world from the first part, filled with various locations and cities to explore in search of loot and quests.
In addition to traveling through the open world, in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the player will have to fight monsters. Allies, who can be manually customized, will assist in combat. By combining their own abilities and skills of companions, players can create diverse combat formulas for fighting enemies.
Battles in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will not only be against ordinary monsters but also against gigantic creatures, just like in Monster Hunter or Shadow of the Colossus. To defeat them, players will have to climb on the monsters and hit their weak points. The release of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is scheduled for March 22, 2024.
Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws is a third-person adventure action game in the Star Wars universe. It's being developed by Massive Entertainment, known for projects like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Tom Clancy’s The Division, with Ubisoft as the publisher.
Plot of Star Wars Outlaws
The game is set between the films "Return of the Jedi" and "The Empire Strikes Back." The main character, Kay Vess, is a smuggler working for various criminal groups to make a living.
One day, Kay decides to pull off the most ambitious heist of her life. It becomes the beginning of a long journey that takes the main character across the Outer Rim system.
Gameplay of Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws will feature a full open world within the Outer Rim star system, the galaxy's outskirts populated by criminals. Players will be able to visit several planets, but it's currently unknown which ones. The official trailer only identifies Tatooine, Luke Skywalker's home planet.
The combat system is a mix of stealth and shooter. That is, the player can eliminate enemies in melee combat or stealthily clear locations by sneaking into the enemies' blind spots. To act stealthily, players will have to rely on gadgets, study the environment, and carefully watch the enemies.
In Star Wars Outlaws, players can control various vehicles. For moving around locations, speeder bikes can be used, while space ships are available for galactic flights.
The exact release date of Star Wars Outlaws is unknown, but according to developers, the release is scheduled for 2024. Given that it's a high-budget project, it's likely to be released in the fall or December of 24th.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an adventure game being developed by MachineGames, known for the shooters Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Bethesda acts as the publisher, with Todd Howard, the creative director of Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, and Starfield, serving as the producer of the new title.
Plot of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
The game is set before the film "The Last Crusade." Nazis steal a historical artifact from the museum where Indiana Jones works. The archaeologist follows the criminals to retrieve the relic and find out why the Nazis needed it.
Gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
There won’t be an open world in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but locations can be freely explored in search of secrets and puzzles.
Players will also have to fight Nazis both in open combat and stealthily. Enemies can be grabbed, thrown aside, or stealthily eliminated if approached from behind. Players will also have access to firearms and a whip.
The release of the game is scheduled for 2024. The exact date is not yet known. The game will be available on PC, Xbox Series consoles, and in the Game Pass subscription service.

It is being developed by GSC Game World, known for the "Cossacks" games and the original "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." trilogy. GSC Game World also acts as the publisher, with Microsoft Corporation assisting in the release and development of the project.
Plot of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
The game's events unfold in the present day, several years after the last part, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. The Zone has changed significantly, but it remains a very dangerous place. Anomalies, mutants, and hostile factions still pose a great threat to explorers and adventurers.
The main character is a mercenary nicknamed Skif. According to the official trailer, he needs to reach the Heart of Chornobyl to save the Zone from an impending disaster.
Gameplay of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
As in the original trilogy, the sequel will require players to explore the Zone, search for artifacts, and fight hostile factions, whose numbers will greatly increase.
