Hades

Time and again, we notice a trend: while there are few AAA releases, and many of them disappoint, niche indie games unexpectedly rise to prominence. There have been such examples before, from Undertale and Stardew Valley to Hades and Disco Elysium. In the last weeks of 2024, a similar phenomenon emerged with MiSide — an anime horror game, where a charming girl named Mita turns the protagonist's life into a nightmare.

Last year was full of loud releases, take for example Starfield or Baldur's Gate 3. But developers are not resting on their laurels and will soon delight us with new projects that definitely deserve your attention. Some are continuations of familiar and beloved universes, while others are something entirely new but no less interesting. We've compiled a list of the most anticipated games of the new year 2024 for PS4 and PS5, so you won't have to wonder what to play.
