Our Most Wanted Games of 2024 – #15 to #11

thesixthaxis.com:

We’re getting toward the pointy end of our Most Wanted list of 2024’s slate of games, and there’s two titles here that have been through “development hell” and back. Let’s start with the first of those…

PS5, XSX|S, PS4, XBO, PC – 2024

It’s been a good long while since we’ve last heard about The Wolf Among Us 2’s development, but that hasn’t diminished our desire to see this game come to fruition. A sequel to one of Telltale’s most widely celebrated series? Yes please!

First announced in 2017, the game was thrown into doubt when the original Telltale Games folded in 2018. However, with the brand reborn half a year later, TWAU2 went back into development and was given a snappy reveal trailer in 2022. The planned 2023 launch was pushed back to 2024 with the decision to jump across to Unreal Engine 5 and wanting to avoid crunch for the team.

Sadly Telltale decided to lay off some of the team a few months ago, but they promise that all their existing projects are still in development, with this game in development alongside AdHoc Studio.

PS5, XSX|S, PS4, XBO, PC – 2nd February 2024

Given how big a success Persona 5 was in the last few years – it’s practically a brand and franchise in its own right, thanks to all the spin-offs – it’s no surprise that Atlus has looked to revisit some of the previous games in the series and elevate them from niche, cult classic status that they might have had in the West.

Persona 3 Reload takes the PS2 and PSP JRPG and remakes it for modern consoles. As with all the Persona games, you’re sent off to school and making friends during the day, before indulging in the supernatural at night as part of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), explore a hidden world called the “Dark Hour”
