We’re now properly into the month of October, and that means that some of 2024’s biggest game releases are starting to roll out.
Monday morning saw several big reviews go live, including very positive reviews for Metaphor: ReFantazio (currently a 94 on Metacritic) and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (our review is currently in progress, but we feel like it’s a labor of love). That’s on top of Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, the Silent Hill 2 remake, and more.
Here are some of the biggest games coming out this week
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) – October 8 (though it’s available in some regions today)Silent Hill 2 Remake (PC, PS5) – October 8Destiny 2: Revenant (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) – October 8Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) – October 11Starship Troopers: Extermination (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) – October 11Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) – October 11
It’s a busy week in what looks to be a customarily busy month for games, with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also due to release (the latter just got a brand-new trailer).
So the question is: Which of these games are you planning to play first? Silent HIll? Dragon Ball? Metaphor? All of the above? Answer the poll and share your thoughts in the comments.
In meantime, make sure to keep it locked on IGN for lots of coverage around all of these releases, including why Silent 2 Hill is powerfully miserable and why Metaphor: ReFantazio is a brilliant evolution of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.
