August 2024 Game Releases Highlights

Concord

Concord, developed by Firewalk Studios, will debut on August 23, 2024, for PC and PS5. This 5v5 PvP shooter combines fast-paced, team-based action with a rich, story-driven experience.

Based on the energetic and colorful style seen in games like Guardians of the Galaxy, Concord sets itself apart with its competitive gameplay and character-focused storytelling mix.

It’s safe to say Concord is a must-play if you love the thrill of tactical multiplayer battles and the depth of a compelling narrative, making it a standout title to watch this year.

Star Wars Outlaws

Massive Entertainment’s upcoming game, Star Wars Outlaws, is scheduled for release on August 30, 2024.

Breaking away from the usual Jedi-focused adventures, this game invites players to explore the galaxy’s underworld as a daring scoundrel navigating the Outer Rim.

Rather than wielding lightsabers, you’ll rely on cunning and blasters to take on enemies, complete high-stakes contracts, and carve out a reputation as the galaxy’s top outlaw.

Whether you engage foes head-on or sneak past them, Star Wars Outlaws offers a fresh take on the Star Wars universe, centered around a new kind of action hero.

Oh, and on the off chance that you’re a Sims player, here’s everything we know about Sims 5: Project Rene.

The game combines crisp pixel art with vibrant 3D backgrounds, giving it a unique visual flair. Alongside an improved turn-based combat system, the remake introduces handy quality-of-life tweaks that make the gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

As you explore its vast and mysterious world, you’ll uncover secrets and delve into a richly crafted story.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Ubisoft is finally bringing the Assassin’s Creed series to Japan with the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on November 15, 2024.

Set during the turbulent late Sengoku era, the game introduces players to two main characters: Naoe Fujibayashi, a shinobi assassin out for revenge after her village is destroyed, and Yasuke, the legendary African samurai who’s finding his way after parting from the warlord Nobunaga Oda.

As Naoe, you’ll slip through the shadows, staying hidden to take out your targets stealthily, true to the Assassin’s Creed roots.

On the other hand, taking control of Yasuke brings a different flavor. It involves more direct and action-packed combat, where you can showcase your samurai skills by blocking and striking down enemies.
