The PlayStation platform is known for its incredible stories, rich gameplay mechanics, but also the fact that you have lots of amazing exclusives.
The most anticipated PS5 games clearly show that yes, we have a lot of interesting things coming out, and we outlined some of the top options in our list.
Sure, there are many other games coming out on PS5 this year, but we think these are by far some of the most awaited titles for everyone!
Rise Of The Ronin
| Release Date | March 22, 2024 |
One of the top PS5 games people are the most excited for in 2024 is definitely Rise Of The Ronin. The idea of exploring 19th century’s Japan in a combat-heavy game is very exciting.
Team Ninja is known for creating some amazing worlds, and the souls-like combat really merges well with this type of game.
We think Rise Of The Ronin has a lot of potential, and the fact that we are also set to have an astonishing, very creative story is great too. A lot of people are expecting this game to become the ultimate ninja title, we will have to wait and see.
Regardless, it definitely seems to be one of the top tier games we will play on PS5 this year.
Metaphor: ReFantazio
| Release Date | TBA (2024) |
Metaphor: ReFantazio is made by the creators of Persona games, but at the same time it adds a very distinctive and creative style. It’s an action RPG with a lot of side quests and added elements from various genres.
That being said, the visual style is stunning, and at the same time, we will get to enter an entirely new world, with great characters and an enthralling story.
The game is coming late 2024, and it’s already making a lot of people excited for a potentially new franchise.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
| Release Date | February 29, 2024 |
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth takes place right after the previous game, and it’s the second part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake.
Unlike the previous part however, this one has a multitude of open world regions, and it focuses a lot more on exploration. It also features more minigames, and you can easily customize your party in more ways than one.
Another exciting thing is the focus on remaking the game with the utmost detail, while still offering an exceptional focus on character development.
South Park: Snow Day!
| Release Date | March 26, 2024 |
We haven’t seen a South Park game in a while, and this one is definitely going to be interesting. The focus here is to explore snowy regions, and you can also play with up to 3 friends.
If you know the South Park series, you already know that you’re in for a lot of fun gameplay, funny jokes and a story that’s unexpected.
The focus on cooperation is what makes this game different, and there are also ranged and melee weapons, along with tons of customization as well.
Stellar Blade
| Release Date | April 26, 2024 |
Stellar Blade is one of those RPGs for PS5 that shows a lot of promise. It certainly feels similar to Bayonetta, and it comes with a very interesting story involving an alien invasion.
But at its core, the game is all about the idea of finding attack patterns, eliminating your enemies and creating fast paced combos. On top of that, you will have some haptic feedback to help you better time your attacks and make them even more powerful.
While Stellar Blade will have a main story, they are also creating an overworld where you can access side quests.
It’s quite interesting to see how you get to travel to different places, explore these locations and also solve all kinds of quests.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
| Release Date | TBA (2024) |
People have been expected for a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake for a very long time, and now we are finally getting one. The remake still retains all the story bits, but at the same time it will bring the game to the modern era.
The story of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is amazing, and it really shows how creative developers were during that time.
Not only that, it’s important to note that they are using Unreal Engine 5, which truly pushes the boundaries with insane, realistic visuals.
We don’t know any specifics when it comes to other changes the remake might bring, but it’s definitely interesting to see the game finally coming back with a proper remake.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
| Release Date | TBA (2024) |
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine was released over a decade ago, but it made a huge impact when it comes to the great story and gameplay mechanics.
We’ve always wanted a third person, action focused Warhammer 40,000 game and Space Marine delivered in spades.
With Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, we have some of our beloved characters from that game coming back, as they are facing new threats and a lot more enemies.
The game is set to bring a variety of races from the Warhammer 40,000 lore, but the developers also mentioned they have quite a lot of surprises as well.
We are expecting a lot of epic battles, new types of weapons and, of course, new challenges for the Emperor’s best warriors.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
| Release Date | March 22, 2024 |
Those that want to play a story-rich RPG on their PS5 this year are in luck, because Dragon’s Dogma 2 is coming in very soon.
It’s one of the top narrative driven RPG titles that allow you to embody a character living in a very demanding and truly challenging world.
While we will continue the first game’s story, you don’t have to play that game, since Dragon’s Dogma 2 comes with its own recap.
The character skills and attacks were revamped, and we also have a multitude of new characters joining some of the fan favorites. All in all, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a lot to offer, and it’s one of the top RPGs to play on PS5 this year.
Crimson Desert
| Release Date | Delayed Q2 2024 to Q2 2025 |
Crimson Desert is an MMO that brings us in a world full of war and challenges that we need to face. What truly sets the game apart is the amazing attention to detail and visuals that are unlike anything out there in the MMO space right now.
However, they also try to innovate when it comes to traversal, since we will have lots of flying mounts. That also says the game world is set to be huge.
There’s also a mercenary mechanic, along with a plethora of side quests and an ever-evolving story.
Forever Skies
| Release Date | TBA (2024) |
Forever Skies is a very interesting, post-apocalyptic survival game. The main premise behind the game is that you are returning to Earth after it was affected by an ecological disaster.
You have a massive world to explore, but you also need to survive since the world itself is very toxic. You start with a very small ship and need to expand as you gain access to more items and resources.
That will also help you delve onto the surface of our planet, eventually, where you can learn more about what happened. Plus, you will get to face a variety of challenging enemies too.
This year is incredible for the PS5 platform and it definitely has a lot to offer for pretty much any genre. Whether you like survival games, action RPGs or MMOs, you are bound to have a great time playing all these highly anticipated MMO titles.
One thing is certain, you should consider adding all these great games to your calendar, since they are very interesting and worth trying out!
