If you’ve gotten bored of them, you’re in luck because 2024 has amazing new FPS titles in store for you. To help you decide which one to play, here are my top five picks for FPS games launching in 2024.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl is probably one of the most anticipated games on this list since it first got announced 13 years ago, all the way back in 2010, with its initial name being S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
While its development stopped in 2012, it restarted in 2018 with a new name.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a survival horror game taking players on a solo adventure in a post-apocalyptic wasteland as they try to survive against enemies with weird mutations caused by radiation. It is all set to release in the first quarter of 2024.
According to the gameplay footage revealed by the developers, it will probably have a similar gameplay to Escape from Tarkov. However, the developers haven’t confirmed a multiplayer mode.
Fortunately, thanks to the advanced AI NCPs, we expect the single-player gameplay to be just as fun.
Pioner
Pioner is similar to the previous title since it takes place on a post-apocalyptic Soviet-era island. However, unlike S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl, this game will be multiplayer, with PvE and PvP game modes.
Pioner will also have some role-play elements where players will get to interact with factions and take on story-driven missions.
XDefiant
If you prefer a more Call of Duty style first-person shooter, you should check out XDefiant, expected to release in the first quarter of 2024, potentially as early as January.
It will be available on the PlayStation 5 and 4, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC, with cross-platform support for all these platforms.
ALARA Prime
If getting respawned after dying is too casual for you, and you want something more competitive, then you should look out for ALARA Prime.
It’s a unique take on the first-person genre, with a 4v4v4 three-team tactical gameplay all in a free-to-play package. While the exact date isn’t confirmed, ALARA Prime will launch sometime in 2024.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando
Finally, we have the upcoming horde-style zombie survival game “John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando.” it features impressive Co-Op gameplay, with players being able to use unique weapons and vehicles to take down hundreds of zombies with an 80s horror action theme.
The game will launch in 2024, with no official date confirmed.
Conclusion
2024 will be a blast of a year for first-person shooter fans. Whether you like competitive multiplayer FPS games or survival shooters, we’ve included a decent mix for all types of gamers.
