Seems like not a lot of stuff has come out this year, not sure if it’s just me or what.
I wanted to make a list of upcoming titles to look for and it’s kind of dire. Found this:

Looking at April:
Maybe Grounded (PS5, Switch) - April 16 if they do a physical edition, which I believe they are.
Stellar Blade (PS5) - April 26
After that…
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 (Xbox Series X|S, PC) - May 21
System Shock (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) - May 21
I guess we’ll have to wait for whatever announcements are going to happen in June when we would have had E3 to see how the rest of the year looks…
No. As others have said, there’s just a lack of information about what’s coming out. Basically starting last year, companies got fed up with announcing release dates that they can’t meet, which has a tangible marketing expense on their side, among other problems. So now we basically only hear about games’ release dates when they’re imminent. This year, we’ve gotten:
…and while it’s divisive, I quite liked Alone in the Dark.
We’ve got the likes of Palworld and Enshrouded in early access, with No Rest for the Wicked to join them shortly.
There are a couple of games from smaller developers and publishers I’ve got my eye on with likely or confirmed 2024 release dates. They may have a wide spread in quality when reviews hit, but some of them could be winners, especially since they’re in genres currently underrepresented by the wider market:
Then some other noteworthy games that are likely going to be very good and have a real shot at releasing this year:
What this year doesn’t have, at least so far, is a clear front runner like Baldur’s Gate 3 or God of War, but there’s more than half of the year left.
