Video games where you predominantly spend time shooting stuff continue to be a favourite genre amongst players the world over, with the evocative fantasy of well-realised science fiction a common backdrop to support gunplay. It’s no surprise then that there’re heaps of upcoming shooters which embrace sci-fi’s aesthetic, with the fifteen on show here a small selection of sci-fi shooters that are on the horizon for 2024 and beyond.
Earth From Another Sun
Resembling the birthchild of Halo, Destiny 2, Starfield, and Mass Effect is Earth From Another Sun, an upcoming open-world MMO promising 1000-strong battles across an array of intergalactic locales, fought via highly customisable weapons, powers, gadgets, and a fleet of super-cool traversal tools and vehicles including portable jetpacks and hovering tanks. This brief summary is the tip of the iceberg though; Earth From Another Sun has a ton of features. However, time will tell if chucking a smorgasbord of gameplay mechanics at a hero shooter minimises its risk of failure a la Concord.
