October promises some of the biggest game release of the year, with a packed schedule of titles across different genres and platforms. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, one of the most anticipated launches of 2024, will take players back on a campaign focussed on clandestine military operations. The shooter is set in 1991, building fictional narratives around real-world events and political figures. Black Ops 6 will also be the first Call of Duty title to arrive on Xbox Game Pass day one, when it launches October 25.

This month's games also include a couple of horror remakes –– Silent Hill 2 and Until Dawn. The former, rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, faithfully recreates the slow terror of the original, while the latter brings a visual overhaul to the narrative-driven horror title on PS4. Both remakes bring upgraded visuals and gameplay improvements and are available on PS5 and PC. Later this month, Sony will launch Horizon Zero Dawn – Remastered, which brings up the visuals of the 2017 action-adventure title to the standard of the 2022 sequel, Horizon Forbidden West.

Square Enix is gearing up to launch Life is Strange: Double Exposure this month, which serves as a direct sequel to 2015's Life is Strange. The game will mark the return of protagonist Max Caulfield, now older and wielding a new power. The narrative-focussed episodic game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo switch and PC on October 29. There is a lot to look forward to this month.
