We’re drawing closer to the 2024 finish line as we enter October, a month that’s typically reserved for big AAA game releases and a few spooky surprises. This year is no different, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 headlines the month and is flanked by several horror games. Strangely, most of the games in this department are remakes or remasters, as old favorites like Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn, and Shadows of the Damned are getting a new lease on life in October.
Between those main-event titles, there are also several other high-profile releases to look forward to. Atlus is launching a brand-new game in the form of Metaphor: ReFantazio, Starship Troopers: Extermination is doing its part with a full release, and Batman fans can return to the Arkhamverse in a new VR game. Another highly anticipated release is Dragon Age: The Veilguard from BioWare, while Redacted looks like an interesting new entry in The Callisto Protocol universe.
As usual, there are several smaller and indie games sandwiched between the main releases in case the AAA releases don’t appeal to you, so there’s a good chance you’ll find something to enjoy. For more in October, you can see the rest of the highlights below, and for a broader look at the rest of the year, you can check out 2024’s upcoming game release dates.
