This year, Europe’s gaming scene faced challenges. The annual sales charts revealed that only three new titles secured spots in the top ten. The remaining positions were dominated by established series like ‘Grand Theft Auto’, ‘FIFA’, and ‘Call of Duty’.

Among the new entries, ‘FIFA’, ‘Call of Duty’, and ‘Helldivers’ stood out, with the first two being annual releases. Notably, ‘Space Marine 2’ and ‘Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’ achieved the 12th and 13th positions, respectively.

Surprisingly, some highly anticipated games didn’t make it into the top ten. Titles such as ‘Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth’, ‘Star Wars Outlaws’, and ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ were found outside the top 30, indicating that even well-known franchises faced difficulties in gaining traction this year.

The gaming community has been discussing the reasons behind these trends. Some believe that the market’s preference for familiar titles has made it harder for new games to succeed. Others point to potential issues in game development and marketing strategies.

In conclusion, Europe’s gaming market in 2024 presented a tough environment for new releases. With only a few new games reaching the top ranks and several anticipated titles underperforming, it highlights the challenges developers face in capturing players’ attention in a competitive landscape.

Ysmael

Ysmael “Eng” Delicana is a writer based in Davao City, Philippines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Ateneo de Davao University before continuing to teach part-time at the same university. While teaching was a fun gig, being a geek and a writer seemed to be his calling. His expertise includes fantasy shows and movies, comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular RPG video games. Ysmael also excels at learning new things and getting to know new topics that are interesting yet foreign to him, and that’s why he can also be called a jack of all trades. He also works as a part-time writer for books about sports. As an avid fan of fantasy TV shows, video games, and books, Ysmael is fond of watching, playing, and reading things related to fantasy, magic, and mystical creatures. However, he is also a huge fan of anime, as he spends a portion of his time watching shonen anime. As long as something is interesting and worth his time, Ysmael tends to devote his effort to it, as he has been great at geeking out about a certain topic. Ysmael’s writing style tends to be quite conversational in the sense that he likes speaking to the readers instead of making them feel like they are reading something tedious. He picked up this during his teaching years because he needed to find ways to simplify topics that tend to be foreign and complex to students. Ysmael also writes for Comic Basics.
