The roleplaying game (RPG) genre fills a very important and necessary spot in the world of video games by giving players truly immersive worlds, often full of thoughtful narratives and rich combat experiences. In 2024, the calendar of game releases is filled with huge entries, such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and even the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Exciting adventures from large AAA game developers, as well as many smaller indie developers, are expected to be released throughout the coming months.
All confirmed 2024 RPG releases have been categorized by which quarter of the year they are planned for. Although this list is updated throughout the year, at the time of writing many games do not have specific dates just yet but are expected to launch during the year, so these have been given their own section at the end. It is also likely that some games have been missed or have not yet been confirmed to be coming during 2024 at the time of writing.

Moving down the calendar toward the end of the year and the approach of the winter holidays, many games will end up strategically placing their releases before the holiday season. So far, however, not many games have given official dates for that far out. One of the games during that time is the heavily anticipated Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time which is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch on October 10.
Metaphor: ReFantazio and Zodiac Legion have given a fourth-quarter prediction of when they will be launching. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 devs have simply said it will be the fall, which means this RPG could even be as early as August or September.
