Get the latest release dates for new video games in 2024, beginning this week with The First Descendant.

There’s a lot that’s still unknown about 2024’s release dates, with very little announced for the second half of the year and particular uncertainty about PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox’s plans – amidst rumours of new hardware.

Other games, such as Avowed and this year’s EA Sports FC should be out in the autumn but they’ve yet to receive an official release date.

More dates will be announced as the year goes on and we’ll try to update this list at least once a week, usually on a Thursday, so do bookmark this page for future reference.
