1. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (Feb 2nd)
Rocksteady, the studio that built the infamous Arkham Asylum titles from Wayne Manor leftovers or simply the best superhero games ever made, takes a left turn into chaotic co-op mayhem and we can’t get more excited about it.
Coming February 2nd, step into the neon-splattered boots of Harley, Deadshot, Boomerang, and King Shark as they tackle a mission as audacious as their outfits: taking down not the everyday average supervillain but a mind-controlled Justice League.
Based on the Arkhamverse universe, the game’s premise features Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark taking on Brainiac, who has taken over the Metropolis and the Justice League, and it is up to the bad guys to rise to the occasion and save the planet with some help from Wonder Woman.
Announced in 2010 and in development since 2012, the game is one of the most awaited games of the last two decades. Finally, get ready for explosive headshots, twisted humor, and the ultimate question: who throws a boomerang harder, Captain Boomerang on steroids or a mind-controlled Superman?
2. Star Wars: Outlaws (Q4 2024)
Have you ever dreamt of ditching the Rebellion and carving your own legend in the Star Wars underworld?
Never? Well, don’t worry. Now you can carve your own myth through the first-ever open-world Star Wars game. With an original story and a mouth-watering allure of exploring the galaxies, Star Wars: Outlaws is not just a treat for Star Wars fans.
Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game lets you play as Kay Vess – an outlaw who trying to make sense of her new realities and start a new life along with her partner of crime Nix. It would be something like Red Dead Redemption 2 overdosed on Han Solo. But instead of the wild west, you will have the whole galaxy at your feet. So, expect blaster shootouts like a Mos Eisley bar brawl, daring heists like a Kessel Run, and moral choices that make even Jabba the Hutt wince twice.
This year. Go outrageous. Grab a blaster and a jetpack to become the galaxy’s most charming scoundrel.
3. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 (May 21)
The BAFTA award-winning Ninja Theory’s first release tore minds to shreds with its raw portrayal of psychosis and since then all of us have been waiting for a sequel.
It has been 4 years since its announcement at The Game Awards 2019 and from the looks of it we will finally have it in-store this year. As per the first glimpse, the sequel aims to amps up the insanity, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and game engine graphical prowess.
So, prepare for a descent into Norse mythology warped by a fragmented mind, where every step feels like a boss fight against your own sanity.
4. Tekken 8 (January 26):
The King of Iron Fist Tournament or simply the biggest fighting game in the world returns with a vengeance, packing classic fighters and fresh faces to fill indestructible arenas.
Tekken 7 was by far the most successful game in the series and according to our evaluation of its beta tests, trailers, gameplay, and story, the forerunner is in line to beat the records in style.
So, get ready for jaw-dropping combos, rage-inducing Rage mechanics, and enough sweat flying to fill a Fahkumram puddle. Pre-orders are live and if you can’t wait till then, the demo version is available for free on PlayStation 5, Steam, and Xbox Series X|S.
5. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl (Sept 5)
The post-apocalyptic horror show of GSC Game World is returning for a second round.
Six years in development, this long-awaited atmospheric horror shooter throws you into the radioactive wasteland of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Moving you to navigate a world teeming with mutated monstrosities, bandit clans, and the ever-present threat of anomalous radiation.
Expect open-world exploration and survival mechanics that make Dark Souls look like a picnic with enough psychological dread to fuel a hundred nightmares.
