For fans of playing games that require thinking and controlling a wide range of units to succeed, you should give these five games a shot whenever they will be released. There are certainly a decent amount of real-time strategy games coming out next year, but these are the ones that definitely deserve your attention. They all got a certain sense of appeal to them, and some of them are actually series you might have heard of them if you’re a real time strategy fanatic. With 2024 is around the corner, these games deserve your attention if you need a brand new strategy game to play for next year.
Godsworn
Are you looking for a Warcraft III styled game to play for next year? This game seems to be the closest thing to it. Another interesting fact about Godsworn is it’s only developed by two people. The game is promised to be oriented towards a single player or computer stomping experience. From what Thunderoak Interactive had showcased, the game is looking spectacular for a game that is only made by two people. Godsworn could be the best game you’ll play in 2024 that is made that small amount of people.
Frostpunk 2
For fans of city building and survival games, Frostpunk 2 has been recently announced this year. It is targeted for a 2024 release and if you’ve haven’t put much eyes on this little series, it’s been getting some praise among gamers and critics alike. The first game has sold over 3 million copies and the highest score it has on Metacritic is an 87. You can play the first game on a wide range of platforms too, so if you enjoying trying to keep your city stable in the blistering cold, you should give the first game a shot.
Zephon
This a fairly neat cyberpunk styled strategy game that is made the same folks who delivered Warhammer 40k: Gladius. The game was available on Steam for demo playing purposes and there could be more of it in the future. If you were a fan of Gladius, this game will certainly be right up your alley with its heavy focus on turn-based combat. If you’re looking for a game that’s more focused on unit controlling aspect with some rather impressive visuals at the same time, Zephon is always an option for that.
Homeworld 3
For anyone who been gaming since the ‘90s, Homeworld will be a name you might of heard. It’s a little series that’s known for taking in a space setting and you get to control a bunch of spaceships while you’re at it. Despite the title being labeled as the third game, it is actually the fifth installment within the series. The series is made by Relic Entetainment who is also known for other notable strategy games like Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War & Company of Heroes. As of right now, the game is set to be released in February 24, and has a gameplay trailer if you want to see what its core gameplay loop is like.
Stormgate
This one deserves to be mentioned at the last of this list. Stormgate is entirely made by former Blizzard employees of Warcraft III & Starcraft II and is promised to be the next Blizzard styled real-time strategy game for those that enjoy those two series. There’s no actual release date of when the game will be playable as a launch title because it is promised to be a live service game similar to League of Legends. However, their official website did say they promised to allow players to have more access to its closed beta during 2024. You could potentially be one of those lucky folks, but obviously you have to sign up from the game’s website.
With all these fantastic strategy games to play, the genre will remain to have something for everyone in the year of 2024. There are definitely some more games that could’ve been on the list, but five was the number I wanted to go for. What are some of your most anticipated strategy games for 2024?
