First-person shooter titles are one of the staples of the video game genre. And due to that, it’s easy to see why there are so many coming out in 2024.
Update: We will continue to update this list periodically throughout the year, so you will likely see some games removed or added. These games are not ranked in any particular order, as the focus here is to showcase titles we are excited to see hit the marketplace.
#13 Mechwarrior 5: Clans
Why do you play games like Mechwarrior 5: Clans? It’s because you want to be behind the “wheel” of a powerful mech suit that can do all sorts of damage, and you don’t care if people think that’s weird! It’s not. Trust us.
Anyway, this continuation of the beloved universe has you fighting for freedom as you come fresh off of some training with your group and must fight to take back your homeworld! Your “star” group will use their mechs in intense fights, and over time, you’ll get to upgrade your mech to handle the numerous dangers thrown your way! Will you be able to make a difference in the war?
#12 Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
So, are you ready to don the hat and whip of Indiana Jones once again? It’s been a while since Dr. Jones had his own gaming title, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle hopes to invoke the feeling of the original LucasArts games, while also making you feel like you’re in one of his legendary films. Well, two of the original trilogy, we don’t talk about certain ones, remember?
Anyway, when Indy experiences a robbery at his school’s museum, he finds himself on the hunt for a powerful religious artifact that could change the tides in World War II! You’ll see everything through Indy’s eyes as you fight, whip, and solve puzzles to save the day!
#11 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
When it comes to the Call of Duty franchise, you can always expect there to be a lot of action, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 aims to deliver some of the most insane action the franchise has ever done before. Yes, we know that’s a bold claim, but based on the various things we’ve seen, they might be able to pull it off.
The goal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is to deliver action that is truly happening all around you, forcing players to react to it on a moment’s notice if they want to survive. With a potentially deep single-player campaign, and a robust multiplayer selection that you know the dev is focusing on, you’re going to have a lot to do action-wise.
#10 Gray Zone Warfare
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
You might think Gray Zone Warfare is “just another war title,” but there is plenty of nuance here to go around. The title puts you on an open island where a “mysterious event” took place. In the aftermath, a trio of private military companies were sent in to try to find out more and get anything valuable back to their employers. Nothing suspicious about that!
You’ll pick the group you want to be in, design your weapons, and then head out to defeat members of the other two groups so you can come out on top. Damage will be very realistic, so maintain yourself so you can keep fighting when the heat is on!
#9 ALARA Prime
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
Something you’ll find in plenty of FPS titles are ones that focus on putting teams of players against one another to showcase how tactical things can be. In ALARA Prime, that notion is at the forefront. The game puts three squads against one another in tight quarters to see who can strategize the best and see who comes out on top.
As with many games of this nature, it’s not just about the weapons you choose but the classes you pick. With four class options and plenty of weapons to pair with them, you’ll have multiple ways to flesh out your squad and determine the best path to victory!
#8 Anger Foot
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
When you make a game that’s all about kicking, you have to have something fun to back it up. Anger Foot does that well–for now, at least.
In the game you’ll be in a sh…well, it’s a city. One that needs someone to stand up and literally put a boot to the face of bad people. You’ll get to venture across the city kicking in doors and people’s faces as a unique way to save the day. There’s a lot more from this game than you may think, and gunplay does seem to play a part.
#7 Robobeat
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
There have been a lot of video games out there that have tried to incorporate music in new and exciting ways. Robobeat is a game that is trying to do just that, and we’re pumped.
In this title, your world is held hostage by the robotic entity Frazzer. When you join his game, you’re going to have to fight him to the beat of the music to get a better score and do more damage. There’s a roguelike element to the game and as a result, the title will never feel boring.
#6 Outpost: Infinity Siege
Platform: PC
Release Date: February 2024
Are you looking for an FPS that has numerous genres wrapped up into one game? Then check out Outpost: Infinity Siege! The title mixes FPS, tower defense, and exploration together to give you something that will keep you on edge throughout your game session.
First, you’ll build up your outpost and make it capable of defending itself as you move it around the planet you’re on. Then, as you go into forbidden areas, you’ll have to defend it against numerous threats. The more you win, the more you can upgrade your outpost!
Plus, you can take things more hands-on in the FPS battle mode or team up with friends to take on enemies for as long as possible in Endless Mode!
#5 S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Platform: PC XSX|S
Release Date: 2024
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl was meant to come out this year, but due to some impactful and serious real-world events happening in Ukraine, the setting of the game, the developers decided to push it back to next year. That was probably for the best.
Regardless, in S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you’ll play as a brand new Stalker in the freshly destroyed Exclusion Zone. You’ll have to move throughout the area and get both supplies and weapons in order to survive. With a lot of dangers to survive and a non-linear story, you’re going to have your hands full. Make use of what you have and make good choices or end up dead.
#4 Plan 8
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
Yeah, we know, we’re really clever for putting this game in the No.8 slot. We do have our moments of greatness.
In Plan 8, you’re not just playing an FPS. You’re playing an FPS with the scaling of an MMO. The title will put you in an exosuit and send you out on a mission to find someone named K.B. But you’re not the only one searching for them. You’ll have to fight for your life across a world full of dangers, both familiar and not.
As you might expect, the exosuit your character wears holds great power. So don’t be afraid to test it out to see what you can do!
#3 Clockwork Revolution
Platform: PC XSX|S
Release Date: 2024
Time, huh? Thanks for the tip. If you get that joke…we appreciate you.
Clockwork Revolution is a steampunk FPS that focuses on your character discovering that their home was heavily altered by time travel. Specifically, someone in power altered key historical moments to get the future to be what it is now.
Your job is to go back in time and undo their meddling. The problem? The more you meddle, the more your home is going to change. So the question is, how far are you willing to go to right the wrongs of those in power? Are you willing to risk everything so that it can be “fixed”?
#2 John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando
Platform: PC XSX|S PS5
Release Date: 2024
Usually, we wouldn’t put a movie adaptation so high on a list, but we’re going to make an exception when it comes to John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando title. Why? Because it’s not a direct adaptation of the original movie or the reboot, but something new set within the movie’s universe.
In it, the Sludge God has been unleashed and is terraforming the world. The man who released him has hired you and others to take it and its legions down. You are…the Toxic Commandoes!
You’ll pick the class of character you want to be and team up with other players to fight the waves of monsters! The better you do, the more you can upgrade your characters! So fight on until the very end!
#1 Destiny 2: The Final Shape
Platform: PC XSX|S PS5 PS4 Xbox One
Release Date: February 27, 2024
One thing that Bungie has done very well with their sci-fi series is weave a compelling narrative that went beyond the main game and into the DLC content. With Destiny 2: The Final Shape, the story has finally come to an end.
With The Witness trying to end everything, you must rally together everyone who can fight to take them down once and for all. New areas will be available for you to explore, taking you to the farthest reaches of reality. Plus, there are new abilities to make your Guardians even stronger!
Will you be able to bring this to an end? Or will this be the end?
