2023 was one of the best years for new video games ever. Can 2024 possibly compare? It’ll be tough, but there are a ton of games either confirmed or likely to launch this year that we are unbelievably excited for. In fact, even just cutting the list down to
forty
was a challenge.
We did our best, though! Here’s our list of the 40 most anticipated games as chosen by TapTap's editors. Share your personal picks in the comments below!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
