Developer: Spike Chunsoft Co
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Release date: October 11, 2024

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will hit PS5 consoles in October this year, updating the Budokai Tenkaichi series with a new installment featuring some particularly legendary characters. Each fighter comes with their own signature moves and styles, for a full sandbox of classic anime action. It's also coming over a day after the new anime series, Dragon Ball DAIMA, so October is truly Goku's time to shine!

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Developer: Studio Zero
Publisher: Atlus
Release date: October 11, 2024

Enjoy the Persona games but wish they were both weirder and set in a medieval fantasy world? I've got some great news for you then, because that's basically the description for Metaphor: ReFantazio. Production is being led by Katsura Hashino (director of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5), and it looks utterly wild. Turn-based combat, nightmare-fuel enemies, and overworld exploration which factors in both a calendar system and light social simulation elements. Mark this one on your calendar. 

New World: Aeternum

Developer: In-house
Publisher: Amazon Games
Release date: October 15, 2024

New World: Aeternum marks the MMO-meets-action-RPG's console launch, encompassing the base game as well as a massive update in the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion. October 15 is the day PS5 players will be able to step ashore the island of Aeternum for themselves, and with New World's new single-player mode, you won't have to hop online and muck in with your fellow players unless you're craving the MMO experience or some PvP action. Promising deep character builds and razor-sharp combat as you explore its punishing environs, this is one upcoming PS5 game to watch for in the coming weeks.

Neva

Developer: Nomada Studio
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Release date: October 15, 2024

Neva is finally coming out and will be heading our way in October. This upcoming PS5 game has been on our radar ever since we saw it at the PlayStation Showcase 2023. Not only does it look like an emotional ride, but its stunning 2D landscapes speak to a fantastical world where man and wolf live in harmony. Another look at Summer Games Fest took us back into these almost water-color worlds to tell the story of a young woman venturing forth with a strange wolf cub in tow. The pair will platform their way through a slowly decaying world set against a plethora of gorgeous backdrops and moody sunsets.

Unknown 9: Awakening

Release date: October 18, 2024

Currently slated for October, Unknown 9: Awakening takes us into the soul-shifting world of Haroona, a dimension hopper that can move between our plane and another mysterious realm. This action RPG takes players on Haroona's journey to seek ancient knowledge and harness her own unique powers, all while being hunted by a nefarious sect known as the Ascendants who - you guessed it - want to use all that power for bad. 

Fear the Spotlight

Publisher: Blumhouse Games
Release date: October 22, 2024

With an art style that harks back to classic ‘90s horror gems, Fear the Spotlight is an upcoming spooky PS5 game and the first title to be published by Blumhouse Games. You’ll get to explore the dark secrets of Sunnyside High as Vivian, who enters a nightmare after a séance goes wrong and a girl ends up missing. From the trailers, the game looks like anxiety personified, and personally, we can’t wait to see if Blumhouse sticks the scary landing on October 22. 

Date Everything

Release date: October 24, 2024

Sandbox dating simulator Date Everything is exactly what it says on the tin: a dating simulator where you can date everything. Through magical glasses called "dateviators," you can date 100 different characters come to life out of household objects like, for example, you bed, smoke alarm, or even the fridge. Also, all of the characters are fully voiced and feature at least three endings each. That's... a lot of dating.

Sonic x Shadow Generations

Release date: October 25, 2024

Get ready for the most badass hedgehogs in gaming to make a show-stopping return in Shadow x Sonic Generations, an upcoming PS5 game landing on October 25. The reveal trailer shown at this year's Summer Game Show gives us a taste of its madcap platforming, pinball, and racing action that looks set to keep us occupied as the weather starts getting chillier and nights on the sofa look more and more appealing. SEGA describes it as "an all-new collection featuring two unique experiences", including one that takes us through Shadow's own backstory to reveal what makes him such a tried-and-true badass.

If you are like us here at GamesRadar+ and love replaying the best FPS games in your downtime, then you’re probably excited about the upcoming PS5 title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. That’s right, after beating the record for the longest Call of Duty game in development, we are finally getting Black Ops 6 this year, presented in a neat spy-thriller package set in the ‘90s. There’re 16 new maps, and two new integrations of the iconic Zombies mode to look forward to here. So yeah, it sounds like we have one of the best Call of Duty games on our hands and that our patience will be worth it!

Life is Strange Double Exposure is the fourth main entry in the iconic Life Is Strange series. However, let’s make things clear: this is a direct sequel to the 2015 game Life Is Strange. Players will get to control Max Caulfield and get down to all that time winding gameplay that we love as a new murder mystery unfolds. The game is set to drop in October, so we only have a few more months of waiting!

We finally have some news on Dragon Age 4 - or Dragon Age: The Veilguard as it's officially called! Although there was a time of platform concerns, the fantasy title is an upcoming PS5 game. We also know that it is releasing on October 31, meaning that Solas and Co. are making a return in the Fall. Besides a fancy trailer and teasers, there is some glorious concept art and the confirmation that it will continue on from where Dragon Age: Inquisition left off for us to look forward to.

Developer: Guerrilla Games
Publisher: Sony
Release date: October 31, 2024

Yes, it may seem odd that we are already getting a remaster for Horizon Zero Dawn, but when the game looks this good, we can’t really complain either. Revealed during the September PlayStation State of Play broadcast, the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster is a major upgrade to the original title, with the devs doing ten hours of new motion capture and spicing up the graphics to a similar level of its follow-up Horizon Forbidden West. The good news is that if you own the game already on PS4, you can get a discounted price of $9.99 USD!

Release date: November 8, 2024

The first new game from Silent Hill's Keiichiro Toyama promises to get under your skin. If you're a fan of Japanese body horror mixed with crisp PS5 visuals, this is going to be a must-see, especially seeing as the newly announced release date will throw us straight back into Spooksville shortly after Halloween. This isn't quite the psychological survival horror that its studio started out with, rather Slitterhead's neon city lights, katanas, and - yes - tentacles look set to make for a more action-packed experience overall. 

Lego Horizon Adventures

Release date: November 14, 2024 

Aloy is heading to the Lego universe in an upcoming PS5 game, bridging the gap between a post-post apocalyptic world and the beloved brick-based toy franchise. Lego Horizon Adventures will hit the shelves later this year, bringing our fiery-haired heroine into mini-fig form, alongside all your favorite machines (and a hot dog guy for good measure). Just how well the grittier world of Horizon translates into the whimsical planes of Lego remains to be seen, but so far, this looks like a fun time.  

Fantasian Neo Dimension

Release date: December 5, 2024 

If you are a fan of playing the best JRPGs, then Fantasian Neo Dimension will be a great way to end the year once it comes out on December 5. From the mind behind all the best Final Fantasy games, Hironobu Sakaguchi,  in this upcoming PS5 title, you will have to dive into a world where a mysterious infection is robbing humans of their emotions. With turn-based combat and unique characters this seems like a winner, and definitely one to keep on your radar.

Launching on December 6 across several platforms, PS5 players will be able to play a variety of heroes and supervillains from Marvel’s impressive character roster and play 6v6 matches across various colorful maps. This is one of our most anticipated upcoming Marvel games to keep an eye on right now, and from what we’ve seen from trailers and teasers already, it looks like it's going to be a hit.

In celebration of Soul Reaver’s 25th Anniversary, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1+2 is being remastered and is coming to the PS5 on December 10. We got to see a brief look at the reworked game during the latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast and can confirm that the graphics are looking pretty damn sharp. So, if you haven’t played the Soul Reaver games yet or want a kick of nostalgia, this is an upcoming release we recommend checking out.

Developer: In-house
Publisher: Build a Rocket Boy
Release date: TBC 2024

Everywhere is the new upcoming "multi-world" game first revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live. Developed by Build a Rocket Boy with former Rockstar president Leslie Benzie on the project, we got a very early look at the project, which, according to the official site, "seamlessly blends gameplay, adventure, creativity and discovery in an all-new multi-world gaming experience", that's claims to redefine "how players connect with one another and with the digital world around them." Since the initial reveal was shrouded in mystery, no platforms were announced, but we assume it's set to come to PS5. 

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando

Developer: In-house

Release date: TBC 2024

If gunning down zombies in a game co-created by a horror icon sounds like your idea of a party, boy does John Carpenter's Toxic Commando have a surprise for you. We first caught wind of it at Summer Game Fest 2023, and the announcement trailer is suitably chaotic. From the spray of bullets raining down on legions of the undead to decidedly out-of-tune rendition of You Give Love a Bad Name underscoring it all, this is one horde FPS game worth keeping an eye on as we await a more concrete release date.

Little Devil Inside

Developer: Neostream Interactive
Release date: TBC 2024

Little Devil Inside first began life on Kickstarter back in 2015. Fast forward five years later and we see a debut trailer during the PS5 reveal stream with the news that it will be a timed exclusive. As an RPG with survival elements, Little Devil inside is set in the "Victorian-like" era in a semi-open world. The trailer showed off a whole host of monsters and also gave us brief glimpses of some of the combat elements and features. It was easily one of the biggest surprises of the recent showcase. 

Light No Fire

No Man's Sky developer Hello Games is bringing us a new experience with Light No Fire - a survival sandbox adventure you can play with others. Set on an open-world fantasy planet that's described as being the same size as the Earth, you'll be given the freedom to explore its diverse biomes as you try to unravel its lore and mysteries. With building and survival aspects, we also saw in the reveal trailer that you can fly through the vistas on the back of a dragon, climb mountains, and even set sail across the oceans.

If paragliding around Hyrule is your favorite part of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Towers of Aghasba is one to watch out for. We first caught wind of the fantasy adventure title almost five years ago, so it's a relief to hear that it's finally slated to launch in November 2024. The game sees the player traversing a strange alien planet from the skies, battling bizarre monsters and creatures while coasting above what looks to be an expansive open world.

Developer: Ivy Road
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive
Release date: TBC 2024

Run a tea shop and farm for ingredients in this cozy upcoming PS5 game. Annapurna has a flair for delivering the quirkiest games out there, with last years' Thirsty Suitors being a prime example, and Wanderstop is carrying on that proud tradition. It's described by the developer as a narrative-rich cozy gaming experience about the simple things in life: change (the personal growth kind, we assume), and the healing powers of tea. This looks like a beautiful story-driven life and crafting sim already, so get it on your list of games to watch in 2024.

The newest entry in the iconic Dynasty Warriors series is coming in January 2025! Dynasty Warriors Origins looks bonkers in the best kind of way, letting you smash through armies with a single strike, and cut down waves of enemies single-handedly on the battlefield. You'll get to take on the role of a nameless hero, working to conquer the Three Kingdoms alongside legendary military figures. So far, it looks like the game has just the right balance of strategy and fast-paced action. It seems like it will be heaps of fun and the perfect way to start the New Year!

Deep Silver
Release date:
February 11, 2025

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been a long time in the works, but Summer Games Fest gave us a new look at the stories, characters, and combat we can look forward to in the next installment. The 15th-century action RPG showed off its more comic backbone in the latest trailers, but between that quick sex-scene cutaway and the odd slightly clumsy quip, we were treated to a satisfying selection of first-person combat clips. Whether you pick up your bow and arrow or hop on your trusty steed, this looks like a raucously good time. 

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Release date: February 28, 2025

Let’s be honest: no one expected the next Yakuza game to be set on the high seas. But we couldn’t be more excited for the swashbuckling shake-up with the upcoming PS5 game, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Set after the events of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, we’ll get to see fan-favorite character, Goro Majima, sporting an eye patch and having lost his memories. In typical RPG fashion, there are also side stories for us to enjoy, whacky mini-games, and Majima can jump for the first time in the series' history! We can’t wait for this one and are already replaying all the best Yakuza games in preparation for 2025.

There's still much we don't yet know about the adventure, but it's certainly giving similar vibes to Monster Hunter World.

Release date: TBC 2025 

Mafia: The Old Country was announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Set during 1900s Sicily, the new game is based on Mafia’s origins and is taking the series back to its roots. While we don’t know a lot about it yet, we do know that it’s coming out sometime in 2025. We’ll keep you posted as more details head our way. Until then, at least we can rest easy knowing that we’ll be exploring the town of San Celeste once again.

Release date: TBC 2025

Looking for a game with a bit of extra bite? Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 puts you in the seedy underbelly of Seattle, which should suit you just fine as a vampire ready to test out your new fangs. Turned as an act of vampire terrorism during the 'Mass Embrace', you'll soon get caught up in vampire faction politics, where you're still just trying to deal with your new way of life. This is an RPG at its core, too, filled with player choices, a strong narrative, and branching dialogue options.

Release date: TBC 

Ubisoft Montreal – the birthplace of Assassin's Creed – is working on a very different type of entry to the series. Following the release of Assassin's Creed Valhalla in 2020, the studio has been quietly working on Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe under the leadership of Watch Dogs Legion's creative director Clint Hocking. While it's thought to be in early development, an early tease suggests a far darker setting that could revolve around Europe's bloody 16th century witch trials. Sadly, there's a good chance we'll be waiting until 2025 and beyond for this one. 

Assassin's Creed Infinity

Publisher: Ubisoft
Release date: TBC 

Assassin's Creed Infinity remains one of the most mysterious projects in development at Ubisoft. This cross-studio collaboration sees Ubisoft Montreal (Assassin's Creed Valhalla) and Ubisoft Quebec (Assassin's Creed Odyssey) working more closely to shape and define the future of this long-running series. While details are light on the ground, it's expected that Assassin's Creed Infinity will act as an interactive hub, connecting players and future AC experiences into one seamless, evolving platform. Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the first game available via Infinity, so we are anticipating that it will land on November 15 as well. But, we're still waiting for firm confirmation. 

Cities Skylines 2

Cities Skylines 2 is finally coming to console after its PC launch last year, and is the long-awaited sequel to one of the most popular city builders of all time. It's bringing with it enhanced features like better road tools, public and cargo transportation, traffic AI, massive 150 tile maps per unique city, and a cinematic camera. We'll also be able to get much closer to the action than ever before, with the opportunity to follow individual citizens from birth to death in your city.

Release date: TBC 

Funcom is bringing us a new survival open-world MMO set in the vast landscape of the classic sci-fi setting Arrakis. Dune: Awakening is said to blend the survival game genre with a multiplayer experience as you try to live in the harsh landscapes of the planet. You'll be building shelters to weather sandstorms, looking after your stillsuit, and trying to brave the deep desertland. It'll be interesting to see how the famous setting serves as a home for an MMO experience. During Gamescom 2024, it was announced that the game is set to release in Early Access for PC players in 2025. However, we are still waiting on a PS5 release window. 

Dying Light: The Beast

Release date: TBC

Kyle Crane is making a comeback in the new game Dying Light: The Beast. Revealed during Gamescom 2024, this is the first new entry in the iconic horror franchise since 2022’s Dying Light 2. It originally started as a DLC for said game before morphing into a standalone title. From the game’s trailer, we know that players will control a super-powered Crane (who has been infected with zombie DNA) as he sets out on a quest for revenge. Currently, there is no release date for the upcoming horror game, but we suspect that it will be with us sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for updates!  

Elder Scrolls 6

Ah, the Elder Scrolls 6. The 37-second trailer that blew the world's mind at E3 2018. The game that we know nothing about beyond this same trailer, that is in development somewhere within Bethesda Game Studios along with Starfield. Because it is so far away from release, you can bet your bottom coin that it's going to appear - at some point - on the PS5 (although hopefully not whatever the PS6 could be). 

Fairgames

Release date: TBC

Haven Studios was acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2022, becoming part of the PlayStation Studios family to help lead the PS5's expanding live service initiative. The studio's debut is Fairgames, an all-new co-op experience where you'll team up with friends to go up against the corporate overloads squeezing the life out of the world. This PS5 exclusive is still in early development, but we'll be keeping a close eye on this one in the months ahead. 

Marathon

Release date: TBC

A classic shooter is getting more than a fresh lick of paint in Bungie’s high-octane remake of Marathon. The announcement trailer seen during the PlayStation Showcase 2023 is peppered with nods to the arcade stylings of the 1994 original, this time in sleek, hyper-pigmented 4K graphics to introduce Marathon to a new generation. It’s good to see Bungie giving some love to other IPs aside from Destiny 2 and Halo, even without a confirmed release date, and it’s safe to say the trailer has whet our appetites for what lies ahead.

Release date: TBC

Undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises of the PlayStation September 2021 showcase came in the shape of those famous adamantium claws belonging to none other than Wolverine. Yes, a new standalone Marvel's Wolverine game is currently in development. While we're light on details for the moment, we do know Brian Horton is Wolverine's creative director, and Cameron Christian is the game director. Horton was creative director on Spider-Man Miles Morales and has also worked on games such as Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider. 

Christian previously worked on Spider-Man and Spider-Man Miles Morales, as well as other titles such as Sunset Overdrive.  Insomniac revealed its goal is to "respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also try to make it feel fresh" and reflect the studio's spirit.

Release date: TBC

It's been almost 20 years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and its legend has only spiraled out of control in that time. Thankfully, Konami is working to introduce one of the best PS2 games to a whole new generation of players with a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake for PS5. While we're yet to get any concrete details on the expected changes or a look at any real-time gameplay, we are keen to see what steps Konami will take to modernize this exceptionally important (and incredibly strange) stealth-action game. 

New Mass Effect

Release date: TBC

It might be quite a way off release, but that isn't going to stop us being ridiculously overexcited for a brand new Mass Effect game - aka Mass Effect 5. Seemingly picking up after the events of Mass Effect 3, we'll be seeing some old faces return and some plot lines picked back up. Of course, the big question of whether Shepard will return remains, but we're ready for everything.

Phantom Blade 0

Release date: TBC

If you're a fan of samurai swashbuckling and moody feudal Japan as a setting, Phantom Blade 0 seems to be promising us both. The third person action title is yet to have a confirmed release date, but from what we've seen at the PlayStation Showcase 2023, your character has "66 days to live". What will he do with it? "Get my heart back," he responds. We don't know much else just yet, but its brooding color scheme and fast-paced melee combat seem like a dynamic blend of Gungrave GORE aesthetics with Ghost of Tsushima action, and we're already here for it.

Pragmata

Capcom revealed a mysterious new game called Pragmata that leaves more questions than it answers but certainly piqued a lot of interest when it was added to the upcoming PS5 games list. Described as a "thought-provoking game", the trailer shows someone in what looks like a space suit in a futuristic setting, where they encounter a young girl and holo-cat. While it won't be coming any time soon, we're certainly eager to learn more about this rather enigmatic adventure. 

Project 007

IO Interactive is gearing up to tell the origin story for James Bond in a brand new game currently titled Project 007. Although details are scarce, and an official name is yet to be revealed, what we do know is that it's going to be an entirely original James Bond story - so not tied to the novels or films. Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO says that it is "the most ambitious game in the history of our studio". Exciting times ahead.

After many rumors began circulating, the latest Sony showcase confirmed that a remaster of BioWare's beloved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is on the way, and the upcoming Star Wars game is coming to PS5. Aspyr and Sony Interactive Entertainment are working with Lucasfilm Games to rebuild the classic adventure, which promises to bring KOTOR to a new generation with "modern tech, features, visuals, and more, while maintaining the integrity of the story and characters" so many have come to love. 

Sword of the Sea

Ever wondered whether Journey would be massively improved with a sword? Well, that's what Sword of the Sea looks to be offering. Developed alongside former Thatgamecompany artist, who helped shape the iconic look of indies like Flow, Flower, and Journey, this beautiful indie looks set to put a focus on exploration and free-flowing navigation, with your armament used not only for defense but hyperkinetic sand-surfing too. Sword of the Sea honestly looks like a real delight, and one we can't wait to see more of.
