- Until Dawn
- Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred
- Silent Hill 2
- Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
- Europa
- Undisputed
- New World: Aeternum
- Super Mario Party Jamboree
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed

Until Dawn
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, PC
- Release date: October 4, 2024
We won’t have to wait until Halloween to get chills because the remake of Until Dawn is one of the first exciting premieres this October. The new version of this 2015 interactive horror uses Unreal Engine 5. As a result, it can provide a more realistic and immersive experience.
The game follows a group of eight friends whose trip to the mountains turns into a desperate fight for survival. The game combines exploration and interactive movie sequences, where the player makes crucial decisions, determining the fate of the characters. Consequently, the game offers numerous different outcomes. It’s also worth remembering that the game stars some well-known faces, including Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere.
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred
- Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X
- Release date: October 8, 2024
Vessel of Hatred is the first big expansion pack for Diablo IV. The DLC will take you to the jungle region of Nahantu, where the influence of Hatred grows. Players will explore additional dungeons, confront new enemies, and get new loot while chasing Neyrelle.
Vessel of Hatred brings some gameplay enhancements and introduces a new class called the Spiritborn. Spiritborn has the ability to summon spirit guardians who grant the character with different powers, including improved strength and damage.
Silent Hill 2
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, PC
- Release date: October 8, 2024
The second remake among October’s releases is one of the most anticipated games of 2024. Bloober Team will revive one of the most iconic survival horrors. The story, with its multiple endings, should remain intact, yet the new version will offer significantly improved gameplay. Therefore, Silent Hill 2 features the modern TPP camera and enhanced combat, among other changes.
I hold my fingers crossed that the developers can recreate the iconic, eerie atmosphere of the original. If they fail, fans will pan them mercilessly, but the success can open the door to the big league. Blooper Team is known for survival horrors, so I believe they can live up to expectations. Anyway, I can’t wait to face Pyramid Head again!
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

- Release date: October 11, 2024
Players missing the Fight Night series should warmly welcome the boxing game created by Steel City Interactive and published by Deep Silver. It debuted in early access in January 2023. Its full release is set for this October.
Undisputed puts emphasis on realism in both gameplay and content. It features about 60 authentic boxers and licenses from three out of the four most significant organizations: WBC, WBO, and IBF. Instead of picking a fighter, you can create your own character. The career mode lets you start from the bottom, climb the ranks, and ultimately get a chance to fight for championship belts.
