It’s time for the world’s strongest to prove themselves once more. 32 characters – returning faces, new favorites – enter the ring of the King of Iron Fist Tournament for the latest entry in the renowned 3D fighting game series. The new Heat mechanic, which lets your roster cancel attacks, extends their offensive options, while the game’s Store mode will delve into the mysteries of fresh competitors such as Reina. The new year promises to pack a punch when Tekken 8 launches.

Those wanting a more group-friendly adventure need look no further than Helldivers II. This third-person squad shooter puts you and your team of divers against alien enemies, equipping you with the wealth of weaponry that you’d benefit from – and need – to take on an intergalactic threat. From flamethrowers to turrets and environmental explosions, there are many tools at your fingertips that can be used to claim cosmic victory. Of course, all of these can be the downfall of your allies due to the game’s permanent friendly fire as well.

Quote From Playstation

Team Ninja brings its mastery of the action genre seen in Nioh and the Ninja Gaiden series with the action role-playing game, Rise of the Ronin. Rise of the Ronin allows players to forge their own destiny and travel to the final years of the  Edo period in Japan. This open-world RPG gives players complete control of their own dynamic story, allowing them to make different narrative choices that’ll put them on different sides of warring factions. Even with all of this, Team Ninja is sure to keep their special brand of deep, yet accessible combat intact for this new adventure coming in 2024.

Stellar Blade

Release Date: 2024

Quote From Playstation

While Stellar Blade is Korean developer Shift Up’s first console title, the adventure is looking promising indeed. Stellar Blade is an action-adventure game making its way to PlayStation 5 next year. This hack n’ slash title puts players in control of the stylish heroine Eve, as she takes on the Naytibas, a force ravaging Earth while surviving humans escape to an outer space colony. Stellar Blade combines sharp action with stunning visuals and a mature narrative to create something all new. Players will have to master a balanced offense and defense to survive against hordes of out-of-this-world enemies.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape

Release Date: June 4, 2024

Quote From Playstation

Bungie’s Light and Darkness Saga continues in this eighth expansion, Destiny 2: The Final Shape. The galaxy-spanning conflict that has shaped (pun intended) the saga comes to a head here as legends from across the stars come together to brave the largest confrontation yet. New supers, armor, weapons, and more will aid players facing the Witness’s twisted reality, while the new destination, The Pale Heart, will tax Guardians along with two dungeons.

Looks like a great line up. Can't wait to try out the new Final Fantasy. How about you, what are you most looking forward to this year?
