It's the nature of gaming enthusiasts to always be looking ahead, squinting into the distance and getting hyped for the titles that are yet to come. And while 2024 has already offered up a slew of highly rated experiences, we can't forget that we're only halfway through the year.
Just to highlight how busy the latter half of 2024 is shaping up to be, our resident video producer Aaron has put together an audiovisual offering that covers 31 (thirty-one!) super promising PS5 games that are currently scheduled across the next six months. To be frank, it's an embarrassment of riches.
From hardcore action games like Black Myth: Wukong to heartfelt all-ages platformers like Astro Bot, there's something for everyone here. RPG fans are no doubt eyeing Metaphor: ReFantazio, while Assassin's Creed Shadows should satisfy those looking for open world adventure.
But again, we're covering 31 titles with this video, and listing them all in this article would take way too long. So give the video a watch, and then tell us which games you're most looking forward to in the comments section below.

Can't wait for astro bot, 2024 goty.
Does it matter if games come to current only or rival platforms? If the games turn out to be great, can't we just enjoy them on our console of choice. If it be last generation, then you have to settle for an inferior version. If it be xbox, then you settle for series s standard (as that's the most popular.version) or maybe enhanced series x. Games are planned for the masses. I think most games that come out nowadays are far superior to our tinted glasses games of yesteryear. I know as I am playing loads of classics in the back catalogue and even these are enhanced remasters etc.
I’ve got 9 games preordered for the rest of the year currently on all platforms, two wishlisted for Gamepass and I’m open for maybe one or two more (though the time, where is the time?). We are eating good this autumn, which is great because I’ve felt like I’ve been starving for a few months now. And Erdtree begins it all!
The second half of this year is looking incredible for me, easily over 20 games across both PS5 and Switch that I want day one.
I took the plunge and preordered Black Myth digital, particularly as the physical editions just come with a download code. Really looking forward to it.
Gimme Hello Kitty Island Adventure on PS5 in physical release.
I bought PS5 machine with very powerful specs just only for playing 3rd party kids games.
Looking ahead for Astrobot and COD although currently playing one of the if not the best FPS out there Doom Eternal on PS5. Such a perfect game and nonstop badass action game. Anyway, looking forward for next year’s Doom
Interested in and may buy Black Myth Wukong, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2, AC Shadows, LEGO Horizon, Phantom Blade 0.
That’s a lot of games to add to my already large backlog
No mention of The Grass of Genesis. I was sure that was coming to PS5.
I didn't watch the video but out of what was highlighted in the article, Metaphor is the only one for me. Would also have been assassin's creed shadows, but it's not on my preferred platform. So I guess I miss out on that.
If Until Dawn is one of the most anticipated games of 2024, turn it off and let's go.
All, I can say to this. There You have it: the condensed ps5 showcase.
Potentially “great”.
Great video sum-up that whets the appetite. My anticipated list is:
1. Kingdom Come 2 - The first game was really special to me in that it realised a historic time perfectly and offered deep, immersive game play. Give it a try! The next game looks like more of the same and I'm a day one player.
2. Alien Incursion VR - I have a VR headset, so this will be a real t(h)reat for me.
3. Metro VR - I kinda liked Exodus, but I never tried the older games with sewer scenery. This game looks graphically stunning and might be irresistible for me.
4. Baby Steps - a fun, laugh out loud game. Got a good showing a while back where I fell in love with the silly humour.
5. Star Wars Outlaws - cautionally optimistic about this one. I am fearing that the gameplay is going to be a bit too simplistic for me. I am bigger on RPG elements, and this seems to put emphasis on the action. If that is the case, I'd rather pick up Jedi Survivor because I really liked the first. Together with Spider-Man 2 and GOW: Ragnarok, Survivor makes up a golden wish list with many quality hours of gaming. Cheers.
I’m looking forward to Ys X nordics, for my jrpg fix
Assassins Creed shadows is going to suck! It already looks bad based on the gameplay I’ve seen
Removed - inappropriate
@Shakybeeves ofcourse! Let us all make haste and follow suit! I say old chap! Splendid idea!
@TheFakulty if it’s a last gen game we all have to settle for an inferior version regardless . current gen only games means full use of current hardware instead of games having to compromise to be virtually the same across two different generations
Astrobot is the big one for me.
AC Shadows and the Until Dawn remakeremaster are both on the wait for the patches and the sale list
