It’s here. The month that shakes our wallets and makes us wonder if we’ll have enough time to play all the video games coming out in October. It usually doesn’t disappoint. Some of the most important releases of the year take place during these weeks, and in 2024, even though it’s not a year full of surprises or big hits, it’s no exception, bringing a handful of interesting games for all platforms aiming to succeed in the holiday season.

October starts strong with the free MMO game Throne and Liberty, published by Amazon, which aims to achieve success among PC and console players with its role-playing action from Korea. A few days later, fans of darker action RPGs will have the opportunity to delve back into the dreadful world of Sanctuary to enjoy the first major content expansion for Diablo IV, the promising Vessel of Hatred; and if you’re into horror, on the same day, you’ll also have the highly anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2 at your fingertips.
This month has also been chosen by Bandai Namco to release one of the most anticipated fighting games of recent years, the powerful Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, which brings back the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series after a long break. Additionally, in these weeks, we find other equally interesting proposals such as Europa, a beautiful adventure game with an aesthetic reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, or the no less anticipated Metaphor: ReFantazio from the creators of the Persona series, which promises to make us enjoy one of the best and most spectacular JRPGs of recent times.
Call of Duty, Dragon Age, Dragon Ball, Silent Hill… October is a month full of returns of major industry franchises
The party doesn’t end here. If you’re into cooperative action, Starship Troopers: Extermination is eager to succeed in that competitive genre; and if you’re looking for something more relaxing, perhaps Neva, from the creators of Gris, will be your star game in October. Nintendo Switch users will have their exclusive Mario Party Jamboree, aiming to be the best in this already veteran party game series, and on PC, PS5, and XSeries, Unknown 9: Awakening is also being released, the transmedia action adventure with which Bandai Namco wants us to experience a story to remember.
Don’t think that the final stretch of this October month is going to lose momentum because we have everything and something for everyone. From the JRPG Romancing SaGa 2, to the Switch version of Yakuza Kiwami, the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 which will be debuting on Game Pass, Sonic X Shadow Generations, the new installment in the Life is Strange series, the recently announced Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered for PC and PS5, or the equally important Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with which we can end the month on a high note.
