As we look to December, it’s often a quieter month, focusing more on early releases. However, 2024 brings quite a few enticing projects. Marvel Rivals, despite the genre being a bit overdone, seems poised to be a major release thanks to positive beta feedback. Meanwhile, the Legacy of Kain series gets a compilation remaster, ensuring fans of classic gaming have something to look forward to. Fairy Tail 2 and UFL, though met with mixed expectations, add to the variety of gaming experiences available as the year winds down.
Come December, here’s what’s expected:
– December 3: Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age (PS5, PS4)
– December 4: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (PS5), The Thaumaturge (PS5), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5)
– Later on, December 12 brings Besiege (PS5), and December 13 features Fairy Tail 2 (PS5, PS4).
Looking to 2024 without firm dates, there are still substantial PS5 titles on the expected list, awaiting their moment. Some of these include Aikyam, AI Limit, and Arctic Awakening. Each holds potential and teases what’s yet to come.
Moving into 2025, January starts softly but is expected to gain momentum. While early months often feel sparse, this is usually offset as the year progresses. PlayStation has some exciting prospects like Freedom Wars Remastered making its way from the PS Vita to a broader audience, and Dynasty Warriors might recapture its earlier success with the Origins release.
January standouts include:
– January 2: Wuthering Waves (PS5)
– January 10: Freedom Wars Remastered (PS5, PS4)
– January 30: Sniper Elite: Resistance wraps up the month (PS5, PS4).
And looking even further, February 2025 seems ready to explode with major titles, potentially making it a standout month. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 promises an immersive RPG experience, and Civilization 7 might reclaim its throne as a leading strategy game. If Monster Hunter Wilds delivers on its potential, it could be one of the franchise’s best entries yet.
As for beyond February and beyond into 2025, while many titles are announced, like Wolverine and the long-awaited Death Stranding 2, they remain without set dates. Nonetheless, they are sure to keep anticipation high among players.
So, buckle up, as whether you’re holding onto your PS4 or diving into the world of PS5, the coming months are packed with gaming adventures waiting to unfold.
