The list of video games in 2024 is already looking pretty packed, even in just the first few months. You’ve got remakes, ports, long-awaited new games, and more. The year is frontloaded with Persona 3 remake, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Dragon’s Dogma 2, with plenty of smaller releases peppered in between, including Unicorn Overlord (it’s a thing) and Eiyuden Chronicle. While most of the games are for PS5 and Switch, some are multiplatform, and there’s plenty of Xbox exclusives slated for launch sometime later in the year.
January’s highlights include a big remaster and an even bigger RPG – so big, the devs even call it a “monster-class” game.
