After seeing the blossoming 2023, now players are especially looking forward to the game circle in 2024, because many big games will be released this year. These blockbuster games cover different genres and styles, whether it's role-playing, action RPG, or turn-based RPG. From epic action RPGs, to innovative combat fights, to magical adventures in alternate history, these blockbusters have their own charm and character. Below, let's take a look at the 7 most anticipated game titles in 2024.

Black Myth: Wukong
As a triple-A masterpiece of domestic games, "Black Myth: Wukong" has gained the attention of players all over the world since the release of the first trailer. This is a Journey to the West-themed stand-alone action role-playing game developed by Game Science, inspired by the classic Chinese masterpiece "Journey to the West", which tells the story of Monkey King before learning the scriptures. The game uses Unreal Engine, beautiful and detailed graphics, smooth and exciting combat, and a variety of morphological and spell skills, allowing players to experience the infinite charm of Goku. At Gamescom, some players were able to experience the game in advance, raising expectations even further. The game's visual effects, action system, and plot story have left a deep impression on players, and I believe that this domestic 3A masterpiece will bring you a new game experience.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Ubisoft's recent open-world blockbusters have been mediocre, with "substantial" content but a lack of innovation, but the side-scrolling games they have made are still remarkable, including Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. As a traditional 2D platformer, it adopts the exploration and progression of Metroidvania, and the fast-paced combat intertwined with enemies with complex attack patterns is undoubtedly a big test of the player's reflexes. Players fight through platforming and puzzle solving to save the prince from evil. This game may reignite the enthusiasm of players for the Prince of Persia series, and it will be interesting to see how it performs after its official release.

Dragon's Dogma 2
Dragon Dogma 2 is a highly anticipated action RPG from Capcom. The game's combat system is very deep, with a variety of ways to customize their fighting style to create a unique, personalized way of fighting. The official 18-minute demo covers four classes: Warrior, Rogue, Fighter and Wizard, focusing on different ways to destroy enemies. For example, in the case of an encounter with a Cyclops, the player can use the option to detonate the dam, causing a current of water to incapacitate. You can also customize your character companions, and the AI is so advanced that it feels like you're playing with a real person.

Like a Dragon 8
"Like a Dragon 8" is a turn-based RPG game based on the story produced by Sega, and this time the story is set in the exotic "Hawaii", which is different from the previous game, which has always been set in Tokyo. The two main characters, Kasuga Ichiban and Kiryu Kazuma, will be unveiled, bringing players a new story experience. It's also worth mentioning that there are tons of mini-games included in the game, including Crazy Taxi and Pokémon. In addition, a new business simulation has been added, allowing players to develop their own island. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox and PC.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is the sequel to Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7: Remake. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a reinterpretation of the original 1997 game rather than a simple remaster, and some of the story has been changed, which has certainly made the game more replayable and interesting. Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth continues the story of Claude and his team, with new characters such as Zax Phil. As a novella in the SE trilogy, it will reveal the fate of the main characters, introduce new elements, and lay the groundwork for the final chapter.

Tekken 8
Tekken 8 is a classic fighting game for Bandai Minami Yumeko, and the success of Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 has thrilled players and fighting fans alike. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this game offers excellent graphics and animations. The new "Arcade Quest" mode meets the needs of solo players. With 32 characters and new gameplay, Tekken 8 is faster-paced. Interestingly, both Tekken 8 and the above Like a Dragon 8 were nominated for TGA2023 Most Anticipated Game. According to the early access feedback of some media, "Tekken 8" is similar to the previous "Street Fighter 6", and has made a lot of efforts to lower the barrier to entry in an attempt to expand the player base. If you're interested in fighting games, you can play and watch.

"Blue Sea and Black Sails"
Following the success of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag in 2013, Ubisoft unveiled the pirate sailing game Black Sails at E3 Games Expo 2017. The game was originally conceived as DLC for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag (the game's subsequent downloadable content), but eventually became a standalone project after several turnovers. The game centers on intense naval battles, with the player as the king of pirates as they fight to the top as they navigate a variety of unique ships and battle bounty hunters and deadly weather on the route from coastal Africa to the East Indies. In the game circle, "Blue Sea and Black Sails" can be said to be one of the most well-known "ticket skipping kings", and it has been postponed 6 times so far, and I look forward to the release on February 16 not to be postponed again.
