Our Most Wanted Games of 2024 – #20 to #16
30.12.2023 - 21:06 / thesixthaxis.com / Emily Hartwood / Edward Carnby
We’re heading fully into wish fulfilment with this latest set of Most Wanted games, with two of the five totally lacking any kind of release date announcement or indications. That, and that four of the five are all reviving series and games that are decades old! So, what games are we talking about?
After far too many years of waiting, Sega is finally giving fans what they want and rebooting a whole host of their cult classic franchises. Out of a crowd that includes Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe and others, we’re by far and away most excited for Jet Set Radio.
Details are really thin on the ground right now – we don’t have platforms or a release date right now – but there’s snippets of info. For one thing, some of the original team are returning, and it seems that this could be a shift to a fully open world, while retaining so much of the original cel shaded art style and cyber funk tone. It’s been over 20 years since the last Jet Set Radio (and this is heartbreakingly still not being remastered or released via back compatibility), and it’s amazing to have it coming back.
PS5, XSX|S, PC – 26th January 2024
Tekken 8 is so close that fighting game fans can practically taste it. After all, they’ve been able to play it very recently thanks to the Tekken 8 demo that was available through December.
It’s been a good long time since Tekken 7, and the team have made plenty changes to depths and nuances of the combat system. There’s a new heat system, a modified Rage Art system that uses common inputs, and a recover gauge that’s seemingly drawn from the Tekken Tag Tournament games. Of course, there’s also the use of Unreal Engine 5, which is allowing for some stunning visuals.
PS5, XSX|S, PC – 20th March 2024
Reviving one of the earliest survival horror games over 30 years on from its debut is a daunting task, effectively amounting to a full reinvention of the game given how far video games have advanced in terms of storytelling, visuals and gameplay in that time.
Alone in the Dark will allow you to play as Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) and Detective Edward Carnby (David Harbour) as they explore Derceto Manor and the surrounding setting in 1920s southern America. With hefty helpings of noir and Lovecraftian horror thrown in, horror fans will surely be curious to see how this one holds up.
PS5, XSX|S, PC – 9th September 2024
Captain Titus returns after more than a decade in Space Marine 2, with the iconic Warhammer 40,000 super soldier now set to face off against the chitinous hordes of a full Tyranid invasion fleet.
Still a surprising sequel to have been put into development, this looks like a huge step forward from the solid, but not amazing third person shooter from 2011. However, there’s plenty of potential here, thanks

The 33 Most Anticipated Games of 2024
2024 is finally here, and that means a lot of new video games to look forward to! While 2023 delivered big on games, this year is likely to be quieter. But that doesn't mean that 2024 doesn't have a lineup of interesting titles. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is the first that comes to mind, as Cloud and the gang journey out of Midgar and explore expansive environments riding atop their Chocobos. Or you could sail into the Indian Ocean and live out your pirate fantasy in the much-delayed Skull and Bones, don the outfits of DC Comics supervillains to kill the Justice League, take on deadly irradiated anomalies in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and get lost in the hustle and bustle of Hawaii in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

You can now play the most infuriating game of all time in your browser, and for some reason I'm hopelessly addicted
This week, I discovered a TikToker deliberately developing the worst game of all time—complete with impossible platforming, unskippable dialogue, and a rocket launcher that has to be reloaded 150 times between each shot. I ended that post anxious that creator Everywhere Nowhere might one day release their abomination into the world for people to actually play. I'm afraid that happened sooner even than I feared.

Our Most Wanted Games of 2024 – #2 Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is going to big a big change for the popular Japanese crime drama series. Sure, the last mainline game already made the shift to a new lead character, new city and jumped from action adventure to tactical RPG gameplay, but Infinite Wealth will see the story take place outside of Japan for the first time, and promises to be the final chapter in Kiryu Kazuma’s story. Again.

Our Most Wanted Games of 2024 – #4 Star Wars Outlaws
Are we in a golden patch for Star Wars games? It certainly feels like that could become the case, as Disney has sought to spread the franchise out from just films and animated shows to encompass a myriad of TV spin-offs, lesser told stories and video games. Star War Outlaws looks set to smash the epic space opera setting together with all things Ubisoft when it comes out in 2024.

Steam’s Best of 2023 Reveals Its Highest-Selling and Most-Played Games of the Past Year
Valve has unveiled its annual ‘Best of 2023' list on Steam, revealing which titles dominated sales on PC. The titles haven't been numerically ranked, but have been grouped into tiers — Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze — based on data collected from January 1 through December 15, 2023. The Top 12 category is populated by both free-to-play multiplayer games and the biggest launches, with the award-winning Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hogwarts Legacy emerging as the best-selling titles. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which was disliked by both fans and critics alike, also made it to higher echelons, thanks to a dedicated fanbase wanting to experience its multiplayer segment.
