Top games releasing in August 2024 – Star Wars Outlaws, Black Myth: Wukong, Concord, and more!

August is shaping up to be quite the month for gaming. While there are a bunch of titles releasing this month, two stand out, namely Black Myth: Wukong and Star Wars Outlaws. Both these titles are also some of the most anticipated games this year. Aside from this, there is also World of Warcraft, a 20-year-old game that gets a new DLC to keep the fire burning.

So, let’s take a closer look at these games as well as a couple more and see what they have to offer.

Black Myth: Wukong

Release date: 20 August

Platforms: PS5, PC

Black Myth: Wukong is an upcoming third-person action game based on the 16th-century Chinese novel, Journey to the West. It seems to be visually stunning and might just end up being an excellent showcase for Unreal Engine 5 and what it’s capable of. As for the game itself, expect a mostly linear action game with RPG elements mixed in.

Concord

Release date: 23 August

Platforms: PS5, PC

Concord will be Sony’s take on the 5v5 Hero Shooter genre pioneered by the likes of Overwatch. Considering that Overwatch 2 crashed and burned, it seems like a good time to try and win control of the genre. The game is set to offer 16 playable characters to choose from, and one can assume that more will be drip-fed over time. Will it succeed in dethroning Overwatch? Only time will tell.

World of Warcraft: The War Within

Release date: 26 August

Platforms: PC

It has been 20 years since World of Warcraft was released. For context, the game is older than the Apple iPhone, Twitter, Minecraft or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even so, the game is still very popular. The fact that the game is still supported after so many years is a testament to how game companies should reward loyal fans. The best part is that The War Within will be the first part of the Worldsoul Saga. So players can expect two more expansions in the near future.

Squirrel with a Gun

Release date: 29 August

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Sereis X/S, PC

There was a time when games didn’t need to have a deep story or a complex plot. Why were you saving the princess in a castle? Why are you stacking rows of blocks? Squirrel with a Gun is an indie game in which you play a squirrel with, well, a gun. The gun is used for traversal and to shoot secret agents sent after you. It’s very reminiscent of games like Goat Simulator or Untitled Goose Game. Sometimes, the best answer to the question ‘why?’ is ‘why not?’

Star Wars Outlaws

Release date: 30 August

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

An open-world game set in the Star Wars universe. That alone should be enough to get fans excited. The game is a third-person action-adventure game wherein players take control of Kay Vess, who is described as “a scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life.” Players will also get to pilot vehicles and partake in battles using their trusty blaster. As this is a Star Wars game, expect cameos from various characters as well as some notable locations.
