So Many Games Have Had No Updates In 2024

It's time for the most depressing list of the year - all the games we've heard nothing about in 2024. Games take a long time to develop, and this often happens while shrouded in secrecy, so several months or even years slip by without a peep. In fact, 168澳ജ洲幸运5开奖网:s꧑ome of the games here were also here last year. It's tough out there, gamers.

Some games from last year's hall of shame have since revealed themselves to the world though, so all hope is not lost - at least for most of these. The criteria for the list is simple: the game must have been officially announced prior to 2024, then had no update throughout 2024. Whether it be trailers, interviews, press releases, or even financial quarterly reports (the only significant info we've had since GTA 6's trailer in December '23), a game needs to have had complete radio silen🔜ce to be here.

A Proper Tomb Raider Game

Oh, Lara. Last year I wrote that we were in the biggest drought between mainline 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tomb Raider games we've ever had, and that wait has only gotten longer. There's still no real information on this outside of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unconfirmed leaks that L🦂ara will be a mentor to a group of younﷺger explorers, and I'm still not sur💜e how I feel about it.

Tomb Raider fans have been kept busy by the original trilogy remaster back in February, followed by the Monkey's Paw curling all the way to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a TR 4-6 remaster coming one year to the day next February, plus 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Netflix TV show, 🦹Sophie Turner being touted for Amazon’s live-action s⛎how, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tabletop game reveal. I just hope I'm not wওriting this again next year, but the odds don't🎃 feel in my favour.

The Elder Scrolls 6

There's only one 'trailer' for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls 6, released in 2018, and it's just the logo over a nice mountain. That's pretty much all we have to go on though, with the last significant update being the announcement that it was officially in development in 2023. Five years after the logo was released into the world. It's possible Bethesda jumped the gun on this one.

With 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield faltering, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Skyri♛m looking impossible to replicate, and the momentum with Fallout following the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Amazon Prime show's success, it's odd to feel like TES6 i♕s a game in the wronඣg place at the wrong time. The general thought is that it will be great when it gets here. The general thought is also that it won't get here until 2030. It might be on a few more of these lists yet.

Wonder Woman

It has been over 1,000 days since Monolith's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wonder Woman was revealed at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Game Awards in 2021, and we have seen nothing of it since. We have heard a small amount, however - in November 2023 Warner Bros. c🥃onfirmed it was not live-serviꦡce, despite a job advert for the game seeming to imply that it was. Apparently it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:linked to the Nemesis system, which the game was also confirmed to use.

Since then, all we've had is a 1꧃68澳洲幸运5开奖网:report that development has been "troubled" and some 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:minor concept art leaks. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:website was updated last month, whicꦛh had everyone expecting a trailer at The Game Awards, but we all know how that went. Maybe we'll get an update before the clock reaches 2,000.

Star Wars Eclipse

Also revealed at The Game Awards in 2021, and the only news we've had on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Eclipse this year was 168澳洲幸运5ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ开奖网:its lead writer leaving to set up a🥃nother studio. Prior to that, all we heard of it in 2023 was that it "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:still exists". Quite the ringing endorsement. Back in 2022, Quantic Dream allegedly leaked plot points on purpose as a "controlled♛ leak" to drum up hires.

This came as the game was struggling to recruit staff due to director 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:D💃avid Cage's troubling past both in the workplace (168澳洲幸运5开奖ജ网:which he has always denied, for the re🎀cord) as well as his 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:issues 🌱writing nuanced social issues and 🎐women (for which he remains✅ on trial in the court of public opinion). Back in 2021, insiders suggested 2027 was more likely. Now, even that seems ambitious.

Assassins Creed Codename Hexe

It's no real surprise that we've heard nothing on Hexe yet, as Ubisoft is still preparing to release Shadows after delaying it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:into the traffic jam of next February. More than that, this has been the most intense pre-release cycle an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed game has ever endured as Ubisoft haಌs struggled to defend Yasuke✅'s presence with its backfoot corporate stance.

Hexe always seemed the more interesting idea - 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima has already beaten the series to the samurai punch, but a Bavarian medieval witchcraft game is far more intriguing. Back in 2022, series producer Marc-Alexis Cot�ও�e described Hexe as "a very different type of Assassin's Creed game", and I'm still interested in hearing 🅠what that means, eventually.

Wolverine

We've technically never had a substantial 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wolverine update since it was teased in 2021, but it doesn't feel that way. A 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mas🌊siv⛦e Insomniac leak in December 2023 saw hours of unfinished footage pour out into the world, as well as Insomniac's roadmap for the next ten years - 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:all Marvel save for one 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ratchet & Clank game.

These leaks continued to be mined and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more gameplay plus 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an unfinished t𓆉railer emerged in February of this year, and then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in October, the creative lead left for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Perfect Dark (a game which made the cut last year but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:꧅spared itself with a SGF t🥃railer this year). Those don't really count as updates, so like Wonder Woman, it feels in the spirit of the list a🍌n🔴yway.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

The ultimate game in the spirit of the list, we have been expecting a Silksong trailer at every 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:trade event, every 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:award show, every individual console showcase right down to betting the farm on it showing up at the low budget and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:understated Nintendo Indie World. Though it has had a minor "we're still working on it!" update this year, we have still seen nothing of a game that was conceived as DLC, announced in 2019, and given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a belated launch window of early 2023. It doesn’t technically qualify, but no game fits the intentionꦺ of this lis๊t more.

I don't see any sense in hurrying the team, but the pressure of expectations grows heavier with each passing month. Its hype has grown into a beast too big to control. It's not Team Cherry's fault, as the devs have sought to downplay the anticipation at every turn, but it's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:hard to imagine any game bein🐻g worth the wait fans seem to believe they have endured.
