We’ve only got a few months left!
So, here we are. Nine months into a year that’s absolutely flown by, and we’ve seen some fantastic Xbox games in that time. There’s a lot more to come as well, of course, so this feels like a good interim point to reminisce.
It’s been so long that we actually forgot about some of the cool releases that launched at the start of 2024. Games like Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Hypercharge: Unboxed, Unicorn Overlord, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Harold Halibut are all great titles that deserve the spotlight as we get closer to Game of the Year season.
They’re unlikely to win many of those awards, but that’s just because we’ve seen so many other fantastic launches this year – highlights include Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Age of Mythology: Retold.. the list really goes on and on!
If you look at Metacritic, it’s Elden Ring’s DLC that’s secured top spot as things stand, so it’ll be interesting to see if the likes of Stalker 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be able to fare even better. There’s definitely a lot to look forward to as we head into these final few months of another fruitful year!
