After a last-minute delay last year, this survival horror revival is now arriving in March 2024. Alone in the Dark should keep the horror train going from last year’s Resident Evil 4 Remake and Alan Wake 2, plus it has some major star power in the form of Jodie Comer and David Harbour.
0 Want
This action-RPG is rooted in Chinese mythology and had an absolutely stellar new trailer debut at the Game Awards. August can’t come fast enough.
0 Want
This new MMO from Bandai Namco and Amazon has a lovely anime look. We can’t wait to set out on a grand adventure in this beautiful world. Plus a mobile version is planned for the future!
0 Want
The Division is the latest Ubisoft franchise to make its way to mobile, and it looks very promising. Shooting and looting through the streets of New York City from anywhere on our phone? Yes, please.
0 Want
This indie RPG seems like it perfectly captures the vibes of the original, PlayStation 1-era Persona games. What can we say? We’re suckers for challenging RPGs that also have us juggling a packed school schedule.
0 Want
It’s been over a decade since the first Dragon’s Dogma had us climbing all over cyclopes and other massive beasts, and as far as we’re concerned, that’s way too long. The wait for a sequel is finally almost over—Dragon’s Dogma 2 arrives in March!
0 Want
This spiritual successor to the Suikoden series was successfully Kickstarted way back in 2020. Now we’re just a few months away from raising a massive army of allies and enjoying some classic JRPG drama mixed with political intrigue.
0 Want
An official release date for Shadow of the Erdtree, the first piece of Elden Ring DLC, hasn’t been announced yet, but rumors suggest it will arrive early this year, just in time for the game’s two-year anniversary. We’ll take any excuse to return to the Lands Between and get our asses kicked all over again.
0 Want
When we tested an early version last year, Enshrouded quickly became our most anticipated upcoming survival game thanks to its great combat and engaging fantasy world. Needless to say, we’ll be jumping into the early access launch on January 24 right away.
0 Want
If you’ve already sunk hundreds of hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and are ready for something new, Europa might be just the ticket. This gorgeous game was a favorite Steam Next Fest demo and includes satisfying gliding and flying as part of world exploration.
0 Want
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth might be the single most anticipated game of 2024 among TapTap editors. This second installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy will have a much bigger world to explore and will cover some of the most unforgettable moments from the original game’s narrative...likely with some new twists.
0 Want
Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIV’s highly anticipated fifth expansion, will see the MMO explore a new continent and begin a new storyline after wrapping up the epic tale that has been building since the game came out. Plus the level cap is being raised to 100, which should feel like a major milestone for long-time players.
0 Want
Granblue Fantasy has never been as massive in the West as it is in Asia, but that might change when Relink comes out at the end of January. This action-RPG spin-off looks absolutely stunning, and it has full four-player co-op to boot.
0 Want
Hades took the world by storm in 2020, single-handedly introducing millions of gamers to the joys of roguelike gameplay and the drama of Greek mythology. Developer Supergiant Games will return to the underworld for Hades II in early access this year.
0 Want
Who knows how much longer we’ll be waiting for Kingdom Hearts IV, but Missing Link will hopefully help make the wait less painful. Unlike previous mobile spin-offs of this series, Missing Link looks to have fast-paced action-RPG gameplay on par with 2019’s Kingdom Hearts III.
0 Want
Life-sim fans have been waiting for a serious competitor to EA’s The Sims series for...well, about as long as The Sims has existed! Thankfully, Paradox Interactive has stepped up to give it a shot. We’ll find out how they did when Life by You enters early access in March.
0 Want
The latest entry in Sega’s long-running, absolutely bonkers Like a Dragon/Yakuza series sees the action move from the streets of Japan to the beaches of Hawaii. The change of scenery will be nice, but the mix of silliness and heart is what keeps us coming back to the adventures of Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu.
0 Want
This series of spooky puzzle-platformers has quickly become a cult sensation, and it’s easy to see why. We can’t get enough of the blend of head-scratching puzzles and claymation-esque horrors that look like they’ve stepped out of a Tim Burton movie.
0 Want
The latest game from the creators of Life is Strange looks to continue that series’ focus on emotional narratives with a tinge of the supernatural. This time, the story seems at least slightly inspired by Stephen King’s It, which sounds pretty fantastic to us.
0 Want
All you need to know about this game, aside from the weird title, is that it’s being developed by some of the key minds behind the Persona series. That’s more than enough to make us psyched for this unique new take on fantasy RPG narratives.
0 Want
This indie title has been pitched as a driving survival title. You’ll need to carefully drive through the winding highways and forests of Washington state as some very strange paranormal events take place around you and threaten your safety.
0 Want
Following 2023’s excellent remake of Super Mario RPG, Nintendo will be bringing back another fan-favorite RPG: 2004’s Gamecube title Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The twenty-year anniversary sounds like the perfect excuse to revisit this exquisitely charming game.
0 Want
Similar to the Kingdom Hearts entry above, it feels like we’re probably going to be waiting a long time yet for Persona 6, so here’s hoping that Persona 5: The Phantom X captures some of that magic. This free-to-play mobile spin-off features gacha elements that will turn off some players, but it also has a structure and gameplay very similar to Persona 5 and the direct involvement of many of that game’s developers and writers.
0 Want
The TapTap editor-favorite game from our recent Pocket Play Fest, Pesticide Not Required has a notably unique take on the Vampire Survivors formula. In addition to taking out massive hordes of enemies, this one will also task you with harvesting and tending to your crops between enemy waves.
0 Want
Princess Peach hasn’t had a starring role in her own game since 2005’s underrated Super Princess Peach. It’s about time! Showtime will see Peach transforming into multiple different job roles on her grand adventure, from a martial arts master to a baker to an unstoppable detective.
0 Want
Project Mugen was probably the biggest surprise mobile reveal of 2023. This game looks like what would happen if you mixed Genshin Impact with Grand Theft Auto. If it plays half as good as it looks, it’s sure to be a breakout hit.
0 Want
Team Ninja’s latest hardcore action game will see the studio returning to familiar territory, with a ninja- and samurai-heavy tale set during a dark period in Japanese history. It’s hard to believe this game is planned to launch barely more than a year after last year’s excellent Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
0 Want
Silent Hill F may not actually make it out in 2024, but to be honest, we’re even more excited for this game than the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. That’s in large part thanks to the involvement of Ryukishi07, the creator of the popular When They Cry series, as the writer of the Silent Hill F.
0 Want
We’ve been waiting forever for STALKER 2, but it seems like it’s finally actually coming out this year. Hopefully. Please, we just want to return to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and fight weird, creepy mutants!
0 Want
If we weren’t totally sold on a Ubisoft-developed open-world Star Wars game before, the surprising greatness of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora really turned us around. Like that game, Star Wars: Outlaw is developed by Massive Entertainment, so here’s hoping it can also deliver an experience that transcends the usual Ubisoft open-world formula.
0 Want
Very few developers do narrative-focused games as well as Dear Esther developer The Chinese Room. This latest project from them looks to blend creepy Lovecraftian horror with a terrifyingly claustrophobic oil rig setting.
0 Want
It’s been almost a decade since the launch of Tekken 7, so we’re more than ready for the next installment of this legendary fighting game series. In addition to beautiful Unreal Engine 5 visuals, Tekken has revised mechanics that will push players to be more aggressive.
0 Want
The Tribe Nine anime that came out in 2022 received a fairly lukewarm response, but we’re still excited to see the video game adaptation. All we really need to know is that Dangonronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka is involved.
0 Want
The latest game from legendary developer Vanillaware looks absolutely epic. This tactical RPG looks like it mixes the best parts of Fire Emblem’s gameplay with Vanillaware’s always gorgeous visuals.
0 Want
We’ve been waiting twenty long years since the original Bloodlines blew us away and proved that RPGs could be about more than just fighting and getting more powerful. After a lot of delays and shifting developers, Bloodlines 2 will reportedly finally come out late this year, and we are so ready to jump back into the role of immortal bloodsuckers.
0 Want
Running for over a decade now, Warframe has become one of the most well-regarded live service action-RPGs. Early tests for the mobile version of the game have sounded positive, so we can’t wait to get our hands on it and continue grinding wherever we are.
0 Want
Incredible indie shooter Void Bastards won us over back in 2019. Now we’re getting a spiritual successor that takes the similar roguelite gameplay into a new sci-fi Wild West style. This looks like an absolute blast.
0 Want
After coasting through the last few expansions, Blizzard is kicking off an ambitious new trilogy with The War Within that will attempt to push the franchise forward. We’re ready to fall in love with Azeroth all over again—beginning with exploring some creepy underground zones full of evil bug monsters.
0 Want
TapTap’s editors checked out early test versions of Wuthering Waves last year, and it’s easily one of the most promising Genshin Impact-style mobile/PC RPGs so far. While no official release date has been announced, the test versions were far enough along that we’re cautiously optimistic to see this game launch in 2024.
0 Want
We might as well wrap up our most anticipated list with one of the surest bets of 2024! MiHoYo is on a roll with all-time greats like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, and that looks to continue with Zenless Zone Zero. The hip new style and flashy combat definitely have our interest.
