“Final Fantasy XVI” and “Hogwarts Legacy” are just two of the many fantastic video games available for the PlayStation 5. However, you’re in luck if you need something new to play because you’ve already consumed your backlog. We’re eager to get our hands on the brand-new PS5 games that have been released for 2024. All of them are currently available for pre-order, so you may own them as soon as their release dates arrive.
These forthcoming films, which will be released over the course of the next six months, range from big blockbusters to a wide range of choices. I think it’s safe to say that this year’s offerings have something to offer everyone, be it comical action (“South Park: Snow Day”) or exploration with a pirate theme (“Skull and Bones”).
1.Persona 3 Reload
Release date: February 2, 2024 | Genre: Role-playing | Rating: Mature
The beloved PlayStation 2 role-playing game “Persona 3 Reload” has been updated with new graphics and more content. This version allows for 60 frames per second and 4K resolution. Redesigned maps and character designs give the beloved adventure a new perspective.The main character, Makoto, is protected from scary monsters by a persona, which is a powerful representation of his inner soul that he can summon. There are new side missions, but the primary plot is still true to the original.
The turn-based combat system that is hallmark to the “Persona 3 Reload” series is still present, allowing you to move between party members to take advantage of enemy vulnerabilities and get extra turns. You can build new monsters from several personas and strengthen relationships with other characters for stat bonuses thanks to features like a demon fusion system and social links.
2.Skull and Bones
Release date: February 16, 2024 | Genre: Action/Adventure | Rating: Mature
This pirate adventure allows you to explore the dangerous waters either alone or with a crew. After a violent maritime fight, your character finds themselves shipwrecked and isolated on an island. This is the starting point of your path to become famous from obscurity. Becoming the most dreaded pirate in history is the aim.
Ascend the ranks by building a crew, sailing ships, and pursuing riches with tenacity. To construct and personalise your own vessels, you’ll need to put in some time acquiring materials. Fortunately, there are many other weaponry and attachments available to improve the capabilities of your ship.
3.Helldivers II
Release date: February 8, 2024 | Genre: Co-op shooter | Rating: Mature
As a Helldiver in this cooperative sci-fi shooter, your job is to protect Earth from an extraterrestrial assault. You are armed to the teeth, of course. If you weren’t, it wouldn’t make sense that on a world known as “Super Earth,” you would be the first line of defence against aliens.
Along with three other players, you can take on enemies while using insanely powerful weaponry that you can customise to your heart’s content.Either way, those aliens have to go, so it’s up to you and your team to figure out the best plan of action and coordinate your efforts. Of course, if you’re not violent, you can also choose to sneak.
4.Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Release date: February 29, 2024 | Genre: Role-playing | Rating: Teen
“Final Fantasy VII Rebirth” is the much anticipated follow-up to the legendary “Final Fantasy VII Remake” series. The exploits of Cloud and his friends—Aerith, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, and the reappearance of well-known characters like Vincent and Cait Sith—continue in this chapter.
“Final Fantasy VII Rebirth” continues where the first game left off, but it has plenty of tricks up its sleeve in terms of plot twists. It will chronicle Cloud and his comrades’ epic adventure to the Forgotten Capital, following them as they escape Midgar in search of the mysterious Sephiroth.
5.Dragon’s Dogma II
Release date: March 22, 2024 | Genre: Action role-playing | Rating: Mature
After more than ten years, the cult favourite “Dragon’s Dogma 2” returns after the release of “Dragon’s Dogma.” It’s a fresh take on the classic game, retaining all of its standout aspects such as class-like vocations and useful pawns to aid in quests while adding new and exciting elements.
Put yourself in the position of the “Arisen,” a hero charged with slaying a dragon while also completing missions and taking down imaginary foes. You’ll have to travel on a protracted journey with the aid of pawns in order to defeat the dragon who ate your heart, all the while meeting new allies and foes.
This time, “Dragon’s Dogma 2” goes one step further by placing a greater emphasis on gameplay that is controlled by choices, giving you more autonomy and influence over the course of the game. And with the RE Engine from the latest “Resident Evil” games, it’s going to look better than ever. Thus, even though many will still recognise it, the game will appear very different after all this time, which might be the catalyst for drawing in more new players.

7.Unicorn Overlord
Release date: March 8, 2024 | Genre: Tactical role-playing | Rating: Teen
“Unicorn Overlord” represents a daring new project for Vanillaware, a game company well-known for their distinct aesthetic and original titles. This tactical role-playing game sets a new standard for the studio, offering stunning graphics and a vast globe map that you can explore at your own leisure, complete with a mix of required and optional tasks.The game stands out from a lot of other games since it is rendered in Vanillaware’s distinctive 2D visual style. It’s not just another attractive face, though. From what we’ve seen so far, the game appears to be both tough and intriguing.
When you come across foes in “Unicorn Overlord,” you can explore the game area in real time or switch to turn-based battle. This method creates a dynamic balance between action and strategy. In addition to traditional fighting and exploring, the plot includes a range of jobs that serve to mix things up a little.Fans of Vanillaware should be thrilled to finally get this difficult tactical role-playing game. However, its distinct approach and artistic appeal will undoubtedly attract new players as well.
8.Alone in the Dark
Release date: March 20, 2024 | Genre: Survival horror | Rating: Mature
A new game set in the unsettling Derceto Manor, “Alone in the Dark” is a terrifying return to the survival-horror roots of the franchise. You take on the roles of Emily Hartwood or Edward Carnby, as played by “Stranger Things” star David Harbour and “Killing Eve” actress Jodie Comer.

It will be your responsibility to investigate the manor, face terrifying monsters, work out challenging puzzles, and discover the unsettling secrets kept behind its walls.

10.Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes
Release date: April 23, 2024 | Genre: Role-playing | Rating: Pending
This adventure, created by Yoshitaka Murayama and Junko Kawano of “Suikoden” fame, is a spiritual successor to that well-known role-playing game series. It revolves around two men who were formerly on different sides but are now united in their desire for a peaceful future.
The game has gorgeous 3D backdrops together with a traditional six-character battle system. It’s impressive that, similar to “Suikoden” on the old PlayStation, there are 100 individuals to find and recruit that are tightly intertwined. One of its main attractions is that, along with its vintage setting that transports players back in time to experience a good ol’ fashioned JRPG.
You won’t want to miss out on this game, regardless of whether you’re a die-hard “Suikoden” fan or you’re just searching for something to pass the time while playing for many hours. Even without the rest of the package, the potential of finding 100 distinct characters is an interesting one.
