The people in charge at Team Xbox are postponing the role-playing game Avowed to February 2025. Nevertheless, all RPG fans can still look forward to various other potential highlights in this gaming year of 2024.
Wait, Avowed isn’t coming out in 2024? Exactly! The new role-playing game from Obsidian Entertainment (Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds) has a new release date and is scheduled to be released on February 18, 2025. The Xbox officials give the following reason via X:
“There are so many games coming out! That’s why we’re pushing Avowed back to February 18, 2025 to give all gamers a breathing room.”
The good news: Even though we are already in August, the gaming year still has some other potential highlights in store for all fans of role-playing games. Below, MeinMMO presents the most promising RPGs of the coming months that already have a fixed release date.

Upcoming role-playing novelties for 2024
Away from MMORPGs, towards action RPGs and more classic role-playing games. The MeinMMO editorial team has taken a particularly interested look at the following role-playing games.
Black Myth: Wukong
In terms of graphics and staging, Black Myth: Wukong is a real hit:

Autoplay
Black Myth: Wukong is based on the Chinese novella “Journey to the West” and you slip into the skin of the famous Monkey King. He uses different staff techniques as well as spells, transformations and magical vessels in battle.
In terms of the fast-paced combat system, the detailed game world, the creative enemy design, the dense atmosphere and the sheer scope, Black Myth: Wukong follows in the footsteps of From Software’s Elden Ring.
Visions of Mana
In the first trailers, Visions of Mana looks like a worthy successor to the Mana series:

Visions of Mana is the first new part of the venerable Mana series in more than 15 years. The shoes left by Mystic Quest and Secret of Mana are big, but also pretty worn out.
The developers still want to go back to the roots and present you with a colorful, semi-open world in which exploration is important and you can engage in action-packed battles. If you are interested, you can already play the extensive demo version.
