The 5 best video games that will arrive in October 2024
October 2024 is the best month for video game releases since I can remember! We have to have 3 runners up this month, all of whom would have easily been in the top 5 in any other month. Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a massive expansion for Diablo IV. It's only a second place because it's DLC and there are too many major full games. Dragon Ball: Sparks! Zero is a new Dragon Ball fighting game that is the spiritual successor to the Budokai series. And Super Mario Party Jamboree is the newest Super Mario multiplayer board game. Leaving this aside, here are the 5 best video games coming in October 2024:
5. Ys X: Nordics – October 25
The Ys series has been growing in popularity since Ys VIII, which is arguably the most beloved action JRPG of the last console generation. Ys Ys X will go to a Viking-inspired region and bring naval combat to the Ys series for the first time. The story takes place at the beginning of the protagonist Adol's adventures, after Ys II. Ys X: Nordics will be available for everything except Xbox.
4. Dragon Age: The Veilguard – October 31
Dragon Age: The Veilguard was recently announced, but it's coming out on Halloween! In fact, the game has been in development since 2015, but Bioware has had some issues since then. Hopefully the long development means that Dragon Age: The Veilguard took its time to be a quality game and isn't a disaster. It would rank higher in the Top 5 Video Games Coming in October 2024 if Bioware's newest games had the same pedigree as the classics of the past. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
