Wccftech’s Most Anticipated Strategy and Simulation Games of 2024

Strategy and simulation games remain my go-to genres whenever I pick up the latest Atari console or turn on my rig to see the Windows XP startup. The reason is and always will be simple: I like to keep my brain ticking along, slightly delaying the decay that would lead to dementia. I am in my mid-thirties now; it's just a ticking time bomb; were this the middle ages, I would be the village elder.

So, with only a bit more blurb, we can get right into the Most Anticipated Strategy and Simulation Games of 2024.

You can also find Wccftech's other most anticipated games of 2024: Action, RPG, Horror, Fighting, Adventure, Platform, Indie, Expansion/DLC, Sports/Racing, Shooter, and Multiplayer.
