The medieval era has been a big place for video games to cut loose and have fun, and 2024 has multiple titles that reside in that period.
#19 The Quinfall
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024
The Quinfall has one big attribute that developers are boasting, and that’s this MMORPG will have a massive map to play within. Players are encouraged to explore this medieval world as it seems there’s plenty of content to stumble upon. It looks like players will chart out a unique adventure as just another citizen of Quinfall. What you do is up to you.

#18 Project: The Perceiver
Platform: PC PS4 PS5
Release Date: 2024
Get ready for a Chinese open-world action game set in a medieval period. We’re still looking for more information to be unveiled about this game. But those of you who enjoyed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice may find this game interesting. Players will use their sword skills to successfully block enemy attacks while perfectly timing out devastating blows of their own. Meanwhile, there is an unique attribute that deals with masks that players can collect. By wearing these masks, our protagonist will unlock new abilities or skills. Fortunately, we have nearly an hour of gameplay footage to see Project: The Perceiver in action online. The developer gameplay showcases mostly combat and a few areas of the in-game world you’ll explore. That said, we know that this game is slated to release as a cross-generation title for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
#17 Project Awakening
Platform: PS4
Release Date: 2024
Project Awakening is a game we’ve been waiting on for several years now. Initially unveiled as an upcoming PlayStation 4 title, the project remains in development. However, it’s not canceled yet, and we can expect this game to release for the PlayStation 5. This looks to be a fantasy action game where it’s described to be a bit like Monster Hunter and a Souls-like game experience. So we can expect some brutal challenges and massive boss fights. But again, we’ll have to wait and see if Project Awakening makes any new moves for a release this year, along with a breakdown of what to expect with this game. So at the very least, you might want to keep Project Awakening on your radar through 2024.
