2020 has been a year hasn’t it? A true year. Well it’s time to wrap that year up with The Game Awards once more. Let’s get into the announcements!
This wrap includes the pre-show and the show so strap in for all the announcements.
It looks bloody great and I won’t have anyone saying otherwise. Hold me.
The big bad from Final Fantasy 7 joins the fun.
While it’s a while away, the trailer does look like what you’d expect but I’m excited anyway.
God who knows what is going on at this point but you’ve got to give it to Vin for finding a way into the show every year.
It has the frantic action we’ve come to expect from Housemarque and it’s out in March.
We don’t see much but is that Liara? Iconic.
It’s a cute but ominous dungeon crawler with building, dungeon crawling and battles. What more could you want?
It’s a bit Breath of the Wild looking but that’s hardly a bad thing. A super cute adventure from an exciting new team.
I never played it myself but James-favourite Brodie gave it some mild praise in his review.
People call me shady sometimes but this is an artistic journey narrated by Hannah Murray of Game of Thrones and Skins-fame.
It looks authentic as ever to the original game – though the combat does look tighter and faster which was a much-needed improvement.
This is the LAIR follow-up we’ve all been waiting for honestly. It’s PC only at this stage, and there’s a beta too.
It’s honestly about time we got to see more of this game, which is coming in the middle of next year.
It looks a little bit Lost Planet and there’s a closed beta happening right now.
Imagine if Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had a multiplayer mode……that’s the vibe I’m getting. It’s a medieval heist game.
It’s got a pretty bleak and futuristic setting along with some gross fleshy monsters. What more could you want from a horror game honestly? It comes in 2022.
Wowhammer more like it.
It stars Keri Russell and Kaitlyn Dever as a mother-daughter duo. It looks wholesome but I’m ready for it to get intense.
It features new quests and is a free upgrade to all players. It’s coming to PS4 and PS5 too, so now I’ll actually play it.
It’s a rogue-lite, tactical action game.
It’s an open-world fantasy adventure from the makers of Black Desert. Personally I’m waiting for Pink Desert.
Honestly, this is the announcement I woke up early for.
But not a new Unreal, sadly.
Get ready to free up space on your hard drives – it’s the first season for Cold War.
The game has you playing as a woman from a secluded community in what the team is describing as “a bicycle road trip game”. Mark Ronson is pleased.
It’s coming in 2022 and features a huge cast – and will probably tie into Ark II given that Vin Diesel is also in it.
Frank Sinatra covers, snow, and frozen princesses. What more could you want?
The expansion is the first in Elite Dangerous history to let you explore on-foot and more or less turns Elite Dangerous into a spacey shooter. It’s due early 2021.
It looks wild and is described as a Metroidvania style action game.
It’s coming to pretty much every platform and looks as bloody as you’d expect.
The game features a brand new art style and releases in February 2021.
It looks to be skipping the Xbox One, coming to the “all-new Xbox” mid 2021.
Who doesn’t want bloody flesh for Christmas honestly.
It’s from the creators of Valiant Hearts.
The game is the next from the creators of Brothers and the sleeper hit A Way Out. As before, it needs to be played co-op and buying a copy gets your friend a copy too.
There were sleeping lizards and a woman with Tom Riddle’s diary or something. Wow.
The game is a remake of the second game and is presently exclusive to Playstation.
Seems suss but great nonetheless.
Red Vs. Blue, Master Chief and Blood Gulch are all coming to Fortnite.
So Daryl Dixon can now shoot at Kratos while riding a Warthog wow.
Even better, they’ll be on Game Pass too.
It’s the first-ever single-player, console game from the League of Legends team.
