Tekken 8

Tekken 8, the latest installment in the Tekken series, promises to be a major hit in the world of esports. The game has been in beta testing, and early reviews suggest that it will be a major contender in the world of fighting games. Bandai Namco, the game’s developer, has added new features and gameplay mechanics that will keep players engaged. Tekken 8 is perfect for beginners and experienced players alike, with a variety of modes and difficulty levels to choose from. Fans of the series are eagerly anticipating the first tournaments to begin, where the world’s top players will battle it out for supremacy.

Hades 2

Hades 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Hades, the popular hack and slash roguelike game developed by Supergiant Games. While not a competitive game, the speed-running community is eagerly awaiting its release. The game features a new protagonist and underworld to conquer. Hades 2 will be available in early access starting in the summer.

Multiversus

Multiversus is a platform fighter game developed by Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games. The game was initially released in beta, but it was later taken down for further development due to issues such as repetitiveness and a lack of responsiveness from the developers to address imbalanced metagames. The game is set to be released in its final version in 2024. The developers have acknowledged that there is still much work to be done to balance the game for both fun and competition. It remains to be seen whether the developers have been successful in achieving this balance. Many esports games have failed to achieve this balance, so it will be interesting to see how Multiversus fares in the competitive gaming scene.

Stormgate

Stormgate is a new real-time strategy video game developed by Blizzard veterans that is set to enter early access in 2024. The game has been described as a perfect blend of WarCraft 3 and StarCraft 2 in terms of gameplay speed and intensity. The closed beta has already impressed players with its fun Zerg-like faction. Stormgate is expected to be a new contender in the competitive RTS scene. The game’s developers plan to create a truly global community, making it one of the key upcoming esports games in 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting the game’s release and the start of its first tournaments.

Project L

Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, is expected to release a new fighting game this year called Project L. The game was showcased at the EVO event in Las Vegas, and those who had the chance to play it have given positive feedback. Project L is a unique and familiar fighting game with polished gameplay and potential for chaos. Although an official release date has not been announced, rumors suggest that it could be released in May 2024. When Riot Games releases a new esports title, the entire industry is shaken, and there is always a lot of excitement and anticipation about the competitive scene that will emerge.

PUBG: Black Budget

PUBG: Black Budget is an upcoming extraction shooter game developed by Krafton. It is set to debut in the second half of 2024 and will be available on console and PC. The game is set in the Battlegrounds universe and features a player versus player versus environment (PvPvE) gameplay style. While extraction shooters have not been successful as esports in the past, the large player base of PUBG may be enough to launch a competitive circuit parallel to the main game.
