2024 has delivered a ton of massive titles already, and there are still plenty of AAA releases scheduled for the rest of the year. Here are the biggest video games arriving in 2024 and their release dates on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.

Following some massive releases last year, 2024 has kept up the momentum with plenty of major launches like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Hellblade 2. Luckily, there’s plenty still to come throughout the rest of the year, from brand-new IPs to returning franchises.

Here’s a look at all of the biggest AAA games coming in 2024 across all platforms.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (June 21)

Elden Ring was a commercial and critical hit when it arrived back in 2022, quickly becoming FromSoftware’s most successful release and earning plenty of accolades come awards seasons. Ever since players have been desperate for a reason to revisit the brutal world.

Now, they’re getting their wish with Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s first major expansion that takes them to a brand-new area – the Lands of Shadow. This fresh map will be packed full of gruesome enemies, lore to discover, and of course, painstakingly difficult bosses.

Black Myth: Wukong (August 20)

Game Science

Since its first reveal back in 2020, Black Myth: Wukong has been one of the most talked-about games in development. Finally, in August 2024, players will get their hands on this ambitious action RPG exploring ancient Chinese mythology.

You will step into the shoes of the Destined One, a being capable of transforming into deadly creatures with useful abilities, including flight. Black Myth: Wukong is still steeped in mystery, but there isn’t too much longer to wait before we discover what Game Science have in store.

Star Wars Outlaws (August 30)

Star Wars Outlaws is the latest title to flesh out George Lucas’ beloved sci-fi universe, following in the footsteps of the Jedi series. Developed by the team behind The Division, this new IP takes Ubisoft’s tried-and-tested open-world formula and applies it to iconic locations from the franchise.

Playing as criminal Kay Vess between the events of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, fans will visit Tatooine, Akiva, and plenty of new planets as they attempt to pull off a major heist, all while avoiding the clutches of The Empire.

Silent Hill 2 (October 8)

Silent Hill fans have had to be patient in recent years, so while you wait for the next mainline game, Konami are releasing a remake of Silent Hill 2. It’s set to tell them the same haunting story of the 2001 original, as James Sunderland heads to the titular town in search of his wife.

However, the remake swaps the tank controls for a more modern third-person perspective, looking to fully immerse you in each horrifying encounter. The combat is also getting an overhaul, taking influence from other brutal titles like The Last of Us.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (October 25)

Activision

Another year means another Call of Duty, and 2024’s entry in the long-running is Treyarch’s Black Ops 6. Following on from the events of Cold War, the game’s story is another spy thriller, which sees the likes of Woods and Adler going rogue after the CIA is infiltrated by a mole.

As always, the game also brings a new multiplayer for fans to tackle, complete with new weapons and maps, as well as returning features like Theatre mode and the classic Prestige system. In many ways, BO6 is a return to the series’ roots, and October can’t come quickly enough.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows (November 15)

One year on from Mirage, Ubisoft’s flagship series is back with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This time around the franchise takes us back to 16th-century Japan, where the story is told from the perspective of the shinobi Naoe, and African samurai Yasuke.

The sequel incorporates all of the elements that fans have come to expect, from stealthy takedowns and parkour to deep RPG systems. But, thanks to the new setting, you can also expect more elegant sword fights and a colorful map to explore.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (TBC)

Bethesda

It’s been many years since Indy fans had a top-tier video game not built in Lego, but that could all change in 2024. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is in the works at Bethesda, helmed by the same team that brought you modern Wolfenstein games like The New Order and The New Colossus.

This original story follows everyone’s favorite archeologist between the original movie and the Last Crusade, as he embarks on a globe-hopping adventure in pursuit of a stolen artifact. The titular character will use the likeness of actor Harrison Ford but will be voiced by none other than Troy Baker.

Those were the biggest AAA games coming in 2024. We’ll be updating this list throughout the year with any new titles that are announced, so be sure to check back here for the latest upcoming projects.

But, there’s still plenty to come in 2025 and beyond, with the likes of Grand Theft Auto 6, Gears of War: E-Day, and Wolverine all announced and in active development.
