Happy New Year, friends! With new happiness! And what can make a gamer happy? Of course, excellent games! However, in January, there isn't much to choose from - after all, it's a festive month, and not many are willing to release during this period. But there are still some daredevils. Let's talk about them in the first selection of the leap year 2024.

And here comes the first blow to the hearts of all fans of the "Prince of Persia" series. And who did it? Of course, Ubisoft! This time, you will not be playing as the prince, not even as a Persian. Instead, you'll control some black-skinned hipster-parkour enthusiast with dreadlocks, who, to a rap soundtrack, will be running and jumping around a stylized Baghdad. According to the plot, this character is the bodyguard of the kidnapped prince.

Fearing competition from Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1, Bandai Namco strategically decided to postpone the release of the eighth installment of the "King of Iron Fist" to the beginning of 2024. Perhaps, it's for the best, as rumors suggest there are very few differences from the previous installment in the series. Nevertheless, genre enthusiasts are likely to purchase this game regardless.
