3. Silent Hill 2 Remake – October 8
Konami is making games again! And thankfully a priority is getting modern players their classic catalogue. Considered by many to be the best survival horror game of all time, Silent Hill 2 took heavy inspiration from Resident Evil, a franchise that’s strayed away from horror, and has shifted towards action/ adventure. Silent Hill 2 was remastered on PS3/ Xbox 360, but the source code was lost. The new version was poor and people hated it. The true version of Silent Hill 2 has been trapped on the PS2. If this Silent Hill 2 Remake is true to the vision of the original, it could be remembered as an all time classic. It’s an obvious addition to Top 5 Video Games Arriving in October 2024. Silent Hill 2 Remake will be available for PS5 and PC.
2. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 – October 25
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has the longest development of any Call of Duty game, at 4 years. The last Black Ops game was Cold War in 2020. Hopefully this means that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a real labor of love, and not a “another year, another Call of Duty” game. There will be the usual multiplayer and zombie modes. The story takes place in 1991, and is about operatives attempting to take down terrorists who have secretly infiltrated the CIA. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be the highest ranked game in Top 5 Video Games Arriving in October 2024, but our top game might have a more significant impact on the video game industry. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available for everything except the Switch.
1. Metaphor ReFantazio – October 11
Metaphor ReFantazio is a brand new IP from Atlus. It’s the first non-Persona JRPG directed by Katsura Hashino, since taking over the Persona series with Persona 3. Everything we love about Persona was created by this person, with a passion project to make a full blown fantasy JRPG now realized! Atlus asked him to keep some aspects of the Shin Megami Tensei, and Persona series, so there will be shared elements like social links. Metaphor ReFantazio is the closest we’re going to get to Persona 6 for a long time. It’s been 8 years since Persona 5; can Hashino and his team change the video game industry again? Metaphor ReFantazio will be available for both PS4/5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
