The Hottest Games Of 2024

With a new year upon us, most of us will be thinking about trying something new, exploring the latest trends, and maybe even rediscovering an old passion. The changing of the calendar is often a time for people to try to improve themselves, experience something they haven’t before, and give something in their life a little refresh. 

The most common ways to do this include a new wardrobe, a shift towards a more healthy lifestyle, or a new hobby. For gamers, on the other hand, a new year is a great opportunity to try out a new title, set new goals to level up, or return to a retro relic and reminisce. 

If you’re one of these gamers, here’s some inspiration for your gaming New Year’s resolution. 

Prepare for 2025 With GTA V

Rockstar Games recently sent shockwaves through the gaming world with the teaser trailer of Grand Theft Auto VI, a game that looks set to create new standards of what to expect from an open-world title. However, players have a long wait before they’ll get their hands on this new release as GTA VI isn’t scheduled for release until 2025. 

If you can’t wait that long, then GTA V is definitely the game for you this year. It continues to be updated with new content from Rockstar, with additional missions, heists, challenges, vehicles, weapons, and other in-game items, ensuring it is always fresh and exciting. 

While little is known about the next game, we can be sure that the skills you’ll learn playing GTA V will help when GTA VI goes on sale. 

Spin the Reels of Slot Games

Slot games have been around for more than a century, though modern titles have come a long way from the early mechanical machines like the Liberty Bell. Today, online casinos offer hundreds or even thousands of unique video slots, each with its own theme and bonus features that make playing them a much more immersive experience. 

With so much competition in the market, many online casinos have created their own exclusive titles like 800 Pound Gorilla, Pacific Boom II, and Reel Empire that allow them to offer something unique to their players. This is in addition to many branded slot games like Deal or No Deal Megaways, Rick and Morty, and Ted. 

No matter what you’re into, with so many different options available, you’ll be able to find a slot game or two that you’ll enjoy in 2024. 

Try Something New With Princess Peach: Showtime

If you want to play something entirely new in 2024, then Nintendo’s Princess Peach: Showtime might be the game for you. Going on sale in March, it is the first title in the Mario universe that puts Princess Peach at the forefront of the action. 

In this new game, she goes from damsel in distress to hero. In this 3D platformer, Peach wields swords and deploys Kung Fu to fend off bad guys, as well as using detective skills to solve mysteries. It’s a different dynamic to traditional Mario platformers, but one that fan swill enjoy anyway. 

Mix the Old and New With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Perhaps you want a mix of old and new in 2024, in which case, the second title in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy will be right up your street. Long-term fans of the franchise will be familiar with the plot and premise of the game, but will be blown away by the stunning visuals that this recreated version serves up. 

There’s also new content, as we saw in the first part of the remakes, which will offer veteran players a new perspective on one of the all-time greatest video game franchises. On top of that, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth brings with it a bunch of new mini-games to keep you occupied while you take a break from the main story portion of the game. 

The game goes on sale in February, so there isn’t too long to wait for it to be released.
