A Look Back at Video Game Remakes and Remasters in 2024
The year 2024 seemed to be a time machine in the world of video games, taking us back to classics that were given a fresh coat of paint. With increasing development costs and time, the gaming industry appears to be embracing a safer strategy - reviving and selling beloved classics.
Previous Releases and Upcoming Titles
Reflecting on the games that have been released and anticipating what's to come, there is a noticeable surge of remakes and remasters this year. From Sonic X Shadow Generations to the eagerly awaited Silent Hill 2 Remake, it's clear that the industry is leaning towards this trend.
The Gaming Industry's Strategy
As video games become more expensive to develop and riskier to produce, the industry is fully embracing a safer strategy: Reheat leftovers people already like and sell them that stuff.
Remakes and Remasters in Previous Years
Of course, 2024 isn't the first year we've seen multiple remakes and remasters. The years 2023 and 2022, among others, have had their fair share of re-released games. However, this year, it seems like the floodgates have fully opened with popular games being remade or remastered at an unprecedented rate.
Classic Star Wars Games Remastered
Already in 2024, we've seen three different classic Star Wars games—Battlefront, Battlefront II, and Dark Forces—get remastered and released on consoles and PC within the span of a few weeks.
Video Game Remakes/Remasters in 2024
Excluding remasters or remakes just being ported to new platforms, there are nearly 30 remastered or remade games that have been released or are slated to be launched in 2024.
