The 10 Most Anticipated Horror Games of 2024
“Silent Hill 2” (TBD)
10 Silent Hill Theories That Might Actually Be True
At the time of this video, “Silent Hill 2” does not yet have a release date…or even a release window. However, there are some signs that the remake of the 2001 PS2 game is launching imminently. For starters, Sony has begun marketing its slate of 2024 games, “Silent Hill 2” being a timed exclusive for PlayStation 5 alongside “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater”. But the big sign lies within developer Bloober Team’s plans. Insider reports reveal a partnership between the studio and Skybound Entertainment, notably known as the owners of “The Walking Dead” IP. That said, it’s safe to assume that development is winding down while marketing is ramping up. Our guess is “Silent Hill 2” will probably launch just before Halloween, say August or September 2024.
“The Casting of Frank Stone” (2024)
The 20 Biggest Single Players Games Coming in 2024
Since 2016, “Dead By Daylight” has only ever been known as a multiplayer franchise. But as the lore has grown over the years, Behaviour Interactive is starting to see the potential in spin-offs to generate more fans. “The Casting of Frank Stone'' will be the first single-player title set within “Dead By Daylight’s” story (not counting that awful dating sim “Hooked On You”), and it is being developed by Supermassive Games, the studio behind “Until Dawn” and “The Dark Pictures Anthology”. With an original story for a brand new Killer that will likely get implemented into “Dead By Daylight '' soon, we’re eager to see what these two horror game giants bring to the table when it launches this year.
“Still Wakes the Deep” (2024)
Top 10 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2024
For those unaware, the main reason why folks are excited for “Still Wakes the Deep” is because of the studio behind it: The Chinese Room. The England-based studio is largely known for 2012’s “Dear Esther” and 2015’s “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture”. This new project of theirs looks to go back to when the studio was making the infamously known “walking simulator”-type games. Thing is that The Chinese Room was telling fascinating stories with incredible set pieces and voice acting. That is what made “Esther” and “Rapture” captivating, and we’re sure “Still Wakes the Deep” will be just as great when it launches on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S sometime this year.
“Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II” (2024)
Death in Mario Games: The Dark Side of Nintendo
In case you have never heard of this gem (or played this sequel already since it launched in Japan in 2022), the first “Spirit Hunter” game released way back in 2019 and was a visual novel with some point-&-click adventure elements. So, what makes the sequel so special? Well, developer EXPERIENCE is expanding upon the gameplay in regards to exploration and its partner mechanics, the latter which can determine your odds of success under certain scenarios. With its unique artstyle and haunting story, we’re already playing the first game now in preparation for the sequel! “Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II” launches for PC on Steam on February 15, 2024!
“Artificial” (2024)
We simply don’t get enough physics-based puzzle games as much as we used to. Developed by a sole developer named Ondrej Angelovic, “Artificial” aims to return to that with a look and feel similar to the “Portal” franchise albeit with much darker tones. Explore the dismal Asteroid 2031 XT as its inhabitants become overrun by an extra-terrestrial hive mind known as “the Corruption”. Use objects to sneak around rogue lifeforms as you try to figure out what in the hell happened and how to save what few survivors remain. “Artificial” will launch on Steam sometime in February 2024.
“Clock Tower” (2024)
The original “Clock Tower” released in 1995 never made its way to any other region outside of Japan. Western audiences would see a PS1 iteration with 3D character models, but it wasn’t close to the original vision. WayForward Technologies is developing this remaster of the original game. Not only will the visuals be enhanced with the Carbon Engine, WayForward will also be implementing new cutscenes, music, and finer details in the textures and animation. Perhaps this could lead “Clock Tower” fans to a brighter future? Who knows, maybe its success could lead to a new game.
“Little Nightmares III” (2024)
The 10 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2024
Supermassive Games is keeping themselves busy as this will be their second game releasing in 2024. Yes, “Little Nightmares” is a Bandai Namco Entertainment IP, and the original developers, Tarsier Studios, were pulled under the banner of Embracer Group. Regardless of the change of hands, “Little Nightmares III” has a ton of potential given Supermassive’s past successes. And considering they handled ports of the second game, they may just deliver something as good as the other titles. Plus, there’s multiplayer, so at least we can be petrified in pairs!
“Sniper Killer” (2024)
Top 10 Best Sniper Rifles in Video Games
Over the years, we have seen an influx of indie horror games aiming to replicate the look and feel of classic PS1 horror classics. Some are better than others, but “Sniper Killer” is definitely one to keep on your radar. You will alternate between both the killer and the detective trying to stop him. Will the killer get away, or will the detective finally take him down? Both journey down a path of insanity and blood, and you will be able to play this for yourself when it launches later this year.
“Bye Sweet Carole” (2024)
The 10 Most Anticipated Switch Games of 2024
Of all the indie horror games, this one has grabbed our attention in a way that’s almost hard to explain. “Bye Sweet Carole” tells the story of a young woman seeking her best friend within a dark and dismal world. The gameplay is awfully familiar to titles like “Clock Tower” while the environments and animation are very much inspired by classic animated movies from Walt Disney and Don Bluth. It is a game that simply does not look like anything else on the market. We highly recommend you keep this one on your radar and check it out when it releases on Steam later this year.
“Alone in the Dark” (2024)
Top 10 Upcoming Fantasy Games of 2024
“Alone in the Dark”, the IP, saw a massive decline in popularity and relevance thanks to the abysmal 2008 reboot and 2015’s “Alone in the Dark: Illumination”. It’s okay, though - Atari can’t hurt it anymore as the IP was sold off to THQ Nordic. And that’s why we’re interested in this new title. “Alone in the Dark” releases March 20, 2024, and THQ Nordic has been pumping some money into its development, almost to the same degree as Capcom with their “Resident Evil” games. Whether it’ll pay off or not is anyone’s guess, but you can guarantee we’ll be there at launch. Which new horror game are you excited to play this year?
