No. As others have said, there's just a lack of information about what's coming out. Basically starting last year, companies got fed up with announcing release dates that they can't meet, which has a tangible marketing expense on their side, among other problems. So now we basically only hear about games' release dates when they're imminent. This year, we've gotten:

  • Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
  • Balatro
  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
  • Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
  • Penny's Big Breakaway
  • Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
  • Tekken 8
  • The Thaumaturge
  • Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes

...and while it's divisive, I quite liked Alone in the Dark.

We've got the likes of Palworld and Enshrouded in early access, with No Rest for the Wicked to join them shortly.

There are a couple of games from smaller developers and publishers I've got my eye on with likely or confirmed 2024 release dates. They may have a wide spread in quality when reviews hit, but some of them could be winners, especially since they're in genres currently underrepresented by the wider market:

  • Aero GPX
  • Agent 64: Spies Never Die
  • Big Boy Boxing
  • Broken Roads
  • Conscript
  • Commandos: Origins
  • Core Decay
  • Fallen Aces
  • Kingmakers
  • Phantom Fury
  • The Plucky Squire
  • Streets of Rogue 2
  • Tempest Rising
  • Titan Quest II
  • V Rising (1.0 release)
  • Warside

Then some other noteworthy games that are likely going to be very good and have a real shot at releasing this year:

  • Avowed
  • Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
  • Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
  • Gears 6
  • Hollow Knight: Silksong
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
  • Judas
  • Mina the Hollower
  • The Rise of the Golden Idol

What this year doesn't have, at least so far, is a clear front runner like Baldur's Gate 3 or God of War, but there's more than half of the year left.
