00:23 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking at the biggest fantasy games releasing this
00:27 year.
00:37 If you're looking forward to these fantasy titles, then the Fey Realms of Nightingale
00:40 are waiting for you to discover.
00:42 Nightingale is a sprawling fantasy adventure game where you hunt, explore and craft to
00:46 survive and thrive.
00:48 As a Realmwalker, you'll craft Realm Cards that open portals and let you traverse gorgeous
00:52 immersive worlds with three unique biomes, from burning deserts to magical forests and
00:57 dangerous swamps.
00:59 In each Realm are creatures big and small to hunt, with apex monsters offering the greatest
01:03 rewards and challenges.
01:05 Wield powerful magic and a wide arsenal of weapons, from axes to revolvers.
01:09 Defeat nightmarish beasts to craft stronger gear and weapons, gather resources and build
01:14 your sanctuary.
01:15 Manage your estate to grow your power and become a Realmwalker legend.
01:19 Play solo or with up to six friends in co-op.
01:22 Nightingale is out now for PC.
01:26 Number 10.
01:27 Unicorn Overlord
01:28 Developer Vanillaware has brought us some remarkable video games over the years.
01:39 Whether it's their captivating stories or unique signature art style, their titles have
01:43 kept us hooked from start to finish and Unicorn Overlord looks to continue this trend.
01:48 Reminiscent of games such as Fire Emblem, Unicorn Overlord is a tactical RPG set in
01:52 the fantasy continent of Fevirith.
02:01 Taking control of the Liberation Army, players will battle it out against the Zanoran Empire,
02:06 freeing the regions from their control on a vast overworld.
02:09 You'll be able to reclaim the throne of Cornea when the game releases on March 8th.
02:19 Number 9.
02:20 Senua's Saga - Hellblade II
02:30 Developed by Ninja Theory, Hellblade's Senua's Sacrifice was a surprise hit for many back
02:34 in 2017 and its upcoming sequel is looking to build upon and improve in many ways.
02:39 The game will feature a brand new and refined combat system which was one of the many criticisms
02:43 of the original.
02:44 It'll also delve even deeper into Norse mythology this time around which is sure to have an
02:48 even greater effect on Senua's mental state.
02:57 Unlike its predecessor, Senua's Saga - Hellblade II will be released exclusively for Windows
03:01 and Xbox Series X and S on the 21st of May and will be available through Game Pass.
03:06 For those of you who haven't yet played the first one, now is the perfect time.
03:18 Number 8.
03:19 Aeodan Chronicle - Hundred Heroes
03:28 The PlayStation 1 was an absolute juggernaut for JRPGs in the 90s and for some, the Suikoden
03:33 series was the best it had to offer.
03:36 Considered a spiritual sequel, Aeodan Chronicle - Hundred Heroes is directed by Yoshitaka
03:40 Murayama, the creator and brains behind Suikoden 1 through 3.
03:44 Players will take control of three different protagonists, Noah, Sin and Marisa and form
03:49 alliances with over 100 heroes across the land.
03:57 The game will feature classic turn-based combat but also a war mode which will pit large opposing
04:02 armies against each other.
04:03 Aeodan Chronicle - Hundred Heroes will release on April 23rd for most modern platforms.
04:16 Number 7.
04:17 Visions of Mana
04:25 Dating all the way back to the era of the original Game Boy, the Mana series is one
04:28 of Square Enix's most beloved franchises and although we've had remakes like the excellent
04:32 Trials of Mana, it had been a very long time since the last mainline entry.
04:37 Announced at the Game Awards 2023, Visions of Mana will take the series to new heights,
04:40 vast open areas and stunning visuals.
04:50 The Mana series has stood out for its exceptional action RPG combat and Visions looks to succeed
04:55 that with modern upgrades.
04:57 It's been almost 18 years since Dawn of Mana and you won't have to wait much longer as
05:01 Visions will release later in 2024.
05:12 Number 6.
05:13 Black Myth - Wukong
05:24 Despite what little we know about this game's story, Black Myth - Wukong's incredible trailers
05:28 have more than piqued our interest.
05:30 Inspired by the legendary Chinese tale, Journey to the West, players will take the role of
05:34 a monkey based on Sun Wukong who will take on a wide variety of mythical creatures big
05:38 and small.
05:47 For those who have played it, it's been heavily compared to the Dark Souls franchise and judging
05:51 from all the footage we've seen so far, those comparisons are more than fair.
05:54 Black Myth - Wukong will be released during the summer on August 20th for PC, PlayStation
05:59 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
06:08 Number 5.
06:09 Final Fantasy XIV - Dawn Trail
06:22 Ever since the relaunched Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn came out, Square Enix has
06:26 been hitting it out of the park with its fantastic expansions.
06:29 While many thought that Endwalker would be the conclusion to the FFXIV saga and in many
06:33 respects it was, Dawn Trail continues the story taking players to the continent of Tural
06:38 also known as the New World.
06:49 As with the other expansions, you'll be able to unlock two new jobs, this time being a
06:53 Viper, a dual sword melee class and Pictomancer, a magical ranged DPS that battles using a
06:58 brush and easel.
06:59 Players will be able to explore these new lands when Dawn Trail releases in the summer
07:02 of 2024.
07:14 Number 4.
07:15 Avowed
07:16 Let's face it, it's probably going to be many years before we finally get our hands on The
07:30 Elder Scrolls VI.
07:32 Luckily for us, Avowed will most likely fill that gap when it releases later this year.
07:36 The game is developed by the great minds at Obsidian who have an incredible track record
07:40 of RPG hits such as Fallout New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity.
07:51 While the game is not a full open world like The Elder Scrolls, the game will contain many
07:54 large open areas for the player to explore.
07:57 The combat however appears very similar with your typical swords and spells but with the
08:01 inclusion of guns to spice things up.
08:10 Number 3.
08:11 Metaphor – Re-Fantasio
08:13 2024 has already been a huge year for Atlus with the release of Persona 3 Reload and it's
08:25 looking to continue that success with its highly ambitious new fantasy title, Metaphor
08:30 – Re-Fantasio.
08:39 The game is developed by Studio Zero, a team within Atlus made up of key Persona series
08:43 staff members, most notably series director Katsura Hashino, as well as artist Shigenori
08:47 Sojima and composer Shoji Maguro.
08:50 Metaphor – Re-Fantasio will feature a very unique blend of real-time and turn-based combat
08:54 as well as a very familiar calendar system.
08:57 While we don't have an exact release date, Metaphor – Re-Fantasio will release sometime
09:01 in the fall of 2024 and has the potential to be one of the biggest hits of the year.
09:13 Number 2.
09:14 Dragons Dogma 2
09:24 This one has been a long time coming.
09:26 Ever since the original was released back in 2012, fans have been clamoring for a sequel
09:29 to the fantasy epic.
09:31 And that wait is almost over as Dragons Dogma 2 will finally release on March 22nd.
09:36 Much like the first game, the action RPG will take place on a huge open medieval fantasy
09:40 world, only this time it's four times larger.
09:50 The class-based vocations will also return, including new hybrid ones such as Mystic Spearhand
09:55 and Trickster.
09:56 Capcom have had an excellent track record in the last few years with their AAA game
09:59 releases and Dragons Dogma 2 is looking to be no exception.
10:24 Number 1.
10:25 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
10:35 When it was first announced that the remake of Final Fantasy VII would be a trilogy, many
10:39 had their doubts.
10:40 The release of Final Fantasy VII Remake put all of our fears to rest though as it was
10:44 an excellent game and we're now more than hyped for its follow-up, Rebirth.
10:59 While the first game was more linear in its focus on the city of Midgar, the sequel will
11:02 feature a more open world with plenty to explore.
11:05 Square Enix has said that the story length will average at around 40 hours, but those
11:09 of you completionists will be looking at almost 100 hours of playtime.
11:13 We won't be waiting much longer for this game as it releases very soon on February
11:17 29th.
