2024 has a lot on its plate in terms of providing gamers with games on par with those that came out of one of the strongest years for high-quality games in recent memory. Nonetheless, the year is off to a great start with a number of huge games releasing in short succession during the first few months of 2024. The simultaneous release of Persona 3 Reload and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on February 2 marks a significant early start for the video game industry in the new year, as two of these products are even launching on the same day.
It will take a few big names releasing early to set the tone for the year ahead if the industry is to carry over the enthusiasm from the previous year into 2024. Fortunately, it appears that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Persona 3 Reload may be the double dosage to begin the year strong. As both Persona 3 Reload and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are JRPGs and cooperative action-shooters, respectively, they represent a good cross-section of the gaming community, so a wide range of players will have something to look forward to on February 2.
Persona 3 Reload
Persona 3 Reload, one of these two games that releases on February 2, is less mysterious than the other because it is a remake of the original Persona 3, which set the precedent for the current Persona game formula. The intriguing thing about this remake is that it stays true to the original while updating many of the antiquated aspects of the first release with mechanics found in more modern games like Persona 5 Royal. Although there has been some debate about Persona 3 Reload's lack of content from previous iterations of the game, it appears to be adding enough to the original game to make it feel like a substantial experience.
Persona 3 Reload tells the tale of SEES, the Special Extracurricular Execution Squad, as they use Personas to battle shadows and solve mysteries related to Tartarus and the Dark Hour. The game will incorporate the beloved calendar system from the series, which lets users experience their everyday lives in-game one day at a time while combining life sim and JRPG dungeon crawling components. Persona 3 Reload is expected to include additional voice acting, fully voiced Social Link rank-up sequences, and new mechanisms like the Shift and Theurgy systems to enhance battle in addition to these returning aspects.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a cooperative third-person shooter by Rocksteady Studios, the company behind the popular Batman Arkham series, and is very different from Persona 3 Reload. Last year, when the gameplay was revealed, the game drew criticism from curious fans who were worried about the game's quality due to its generic-looking shooter combat and live-service features. In order to give the developers more time to address these criticisms prior to release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was postponed from its May 2023 debut date to February 2, 2024, following this showcase.
In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the titular Task Force X must stop the villain Brainiac from brainwashing all of Metropolis' people, including the Justice League. Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang are the four characters that players can choose from when the game launches. However, new rumors indicate that more characters will be available as DLC; one such rumor is Deathstroke. Solo gamers can experiment with all of the characters' special skills by switching between them on the fly while AI controls the others.
Conclusion
As February 2, 2024, approaches, gamers are in for a thrilling adventure with the simultaneous release of Persona 3 Reload and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. These diverse games, spanning JRPG to action-shooter, promise to set the tone for a spectacular year in gaming. Persona 3 Reload revisits a classic with a modern touch, while Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League brings Rocksteady's expertise to deliver an action-packed cooperative experience.
