Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – 29 February 2024
For a franchise that is now in its second decade (and counting), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is still mustering huge excitement amongst fans. This sequel to the blockbuster Final Fantasy VII Remake, is set to release on this year’s Leap Day – an intriguing choice, especially for a game series with its sneaky attitude towards time.
Alone in the Dark – 20 March 2024
With the likes of Jodie Comer and David Harbour starring in this reimagining of the 1992 game, Alone in the Dark is a gritty and gothic survival horror game. Taking inspiration from the Resident Evil series and its third person perspective, this is sure to be an interesting installment in the series – if you dare enter Derceto Manor.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (DLC) – no release date yet
If the rumours are to be believed, developer FromSoftware is set to release this expansion to the incredible and massive Elden Ring early this year. In typical FromSoftware fashion, no trailer or even screenshots have been released yet, meaning the full details are still shrouded in mystery. With no concrete date in sight just yet, you Tarnished will have to wait a little longer yet.
Silent Hill 2 Remake – no release date yet
Now this one has a monumental legacy to live up to and could (emphasis on could) be dropping on PS5 this year. The 2001 classic Silent Hill 2, will be modernized and recreated with all the bells and whistles of the PS5. The developers have made a point that the tone, style and atmosphere will be retained, with the story being a major focus, while the gameplay and graphics have been rebuilt from the ground up. So how much are we all looking forward to seeing Pyramid Head in all their PS5 glory?
