Get Ready for a Killer Month of Gaming: 30 Awesome Games Are Coming in October 2024

We’re drawing closer to the 2024 finish line as we enter October, a month that’s typically reserved for big AAA game releases and a few spooky surprises. This year is no different, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 headlines the month and is flanked by several horror games.

Strangely, most of the games in this department are remakes or remasters, as old favorites like Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn, and Shadows of the Damned are getting a new lease on life in October. Between those main-event titles, there are also several other high-profile releases to look forward to. Atlus is launching a brand-new game in the form of Metaphor: ReFantazio, Starship Troopers: Extermination is doing its part with a full release, and Batman fans can return to the Arkhamverse in a new VR game.

Another highly anticipated release is Dragon Age: The Veilguard from BioWare, while Redacted looks like an interesting new entry in The Callisto Protocol universe. As usual, there are several smaller and indie games sandwiched between the main releases in case the AAA releases don’t appeal to you, so there’s a good chance you’ll find something to enjoy.

October is going to be a great month for gamers who love a wide variety of games, from RPGs to horror games and even sports games. Here are some of the top releases you should be looking out for and other notable games that will be making an appearance.

Kicking things off, on October 3, we have the release of Kill Knight, which is a dash of arcade-inspired action and ultra-aggression baked into a knight on a holy quest to kill all angels. This game is expecting to be a thrilling ride when it launches next month. Until Dawn will be available on October 4, a classic choose-your-own-demise game that will come with new artistic changes and will make a great choice for fans of the genre.

Continuing on the same note, Silent Hill 2 is another classic that’s getting remade and reimagined, and it’s going to be one of the scariest games of the year. Other notable releases in the rest of the month include Metaphor: ReFantazio on October 11, Starship Troopers: Extermination, which is a full reboot of the series.

There are also some combat sports like boxing and baseball, with Undisputed on October 11 and Backyard Baseball 97 getting a remaster on October 10. Another sports game, Professional Baseball Spirits 2024-2025, will be released on October 17, and on October 18, we will also see the release of Skautfold: Into the Fray.

Are you prepared for an epic gaming experience like no other? With over 30 incredible games releasing in just a span of a month, the question really isn't what type of games are you excited for but rather how many hours a day are you going to spend playing.
