Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, it’s time for The Game Awards 2023, everybody!
At least for us Brits.
There are a lot of them, so strap in.
Here are all the new PC trailers from The Game Awards 2023.
It remains a beloved game a decade later, and a remake is good news to many.
It’s calledPony Island 2: Panda Circus, and it’s the sequel to the 2016Pony Islandthat…
I hadn’t heard about until now.
Now it seems pretty cool.
It reminds me quite a lot ofTchiafrom earlier this year.
Only this time, it’s fully 3D.
Windblown will come out in early access sometime next year.
It’s coming in 2024.
What a perfect match.
World Of Goo 2
Wow.
Didn’t expect this!
I hope they really go all out with the new mechanics.
Give me all the new goo types.
Those goo cannons look pretty promising.World Of Goo 2is coming sometime in 2024.
Also looks very different, too, of course, given the wildly different setting.
Exodus
Now the Game Awards itself begins!
And suddenly Matthew McConaughey is on stage, announcing the first game he’s ever worked with,Exodus.
A punchy cinematic trailer filled with lots of explosions, gorgeous lighting, and concerned-looking faces.
Nice use of Muse’s Supermassive Black Hole there too.
Big Walk
What am I even looking at?
Also you’re all… possibly-wooden bird people.Big Walkis coming in 2025.
Lego Fortnite
I played a bit of Lego Fortnite earlier today.
The building is satisfying, the artstyle is charming, the world is rich and invites exploration.
And it’s free, too.
If you’re a fan of survival games, check it out and see what you think!
There are some teething issues with controls and the like, but otherwise I’m really impressed.
The expressions on Senua’s face!
The mud and rain and grime!
Maybe as a team, too.
Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora
Naysayers may scoff, but I absolutely love the Avatar films.
And Frontiers Of Pandora was one of my most anticipated games of this year.
Details are otherwise thin on the ground but: cool.
Dragon Ball: Sparking!
Man, yeah, let those Dragon Ball fans eat.
The Casting Of Frank Stone
Surprise!
It’s coming in 2024.
OD
Oh boy, it’s a new Hideo Kojima game.
Prepare yourselves for a wacky, unsettling trailer for the upcoming horror “experience” known asOD.
Well, that clears things right up.
Jurassic Park Survival
Okay you bastards.
I’ve been saying for years that we need a good strong Jurassic Park horror survival game.
Fortnite: Rocket Racing
Rocket League is one of my absolute favourite and most-played games ever.
It’s earned and kept my goodwill by not messing with the central formula over its many-year history.
Fortnite has had pretty much the opposite journey.
But adding a racing game with Rocket League cars is, I’ll admit, a canny move.
It’s actual racing though, so not exactly Rocket League.
And if you’re reading this, it’s almost certainly out right now!
Black Myth: Wukong
Interesting!
But my expectations were met in other ways, such as the plethora of wonderfully designed characters and creatures.
Including a gigantic spider thrashing about in appallingly spidery fashion.
For non-arachnophobes though, rejoice!
We finally have a release date for Black Myth: Wukong - 20th August 2024.
Tales Of Kenzera: Zau
I do love a pretty platformer.
This is definitely one to watch for when it arrives on 23rd April 2024.
The animations and florid character designs lift it above the generic descriptions of combos and boss battles.
Final Fantasy x Apex Legends
Okay, that’s another thing I wasn’t expecting.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is coming to my very favourite battle royale, Apex Legends, on 9th January.
I’m not rightly sure.
But that was some very sweet-looking artwork of Crypto, Wraith, and Horizon at the end there.
Skull And Bones
My god, I need a new great pirate game in my life.
I’ve recently revisited my childhood and started playing Sid Meier’s Pirates!
again, and it’s made me hungry for more.
Marvel’s Blade
A new Arkane game, eh?
That’s gonna turn a lot of heads.
What’s more, it’s a Marvel game.
I’ll say one thing though.
Another vampire game from Arkane after Redfall?
I do love a good rainy cinematic where robots menacingly knock down doors.
It’s a fairly by-the-numbers cinematic trailer, but it does look good.
Namely, some very, very big bosses.
With some excellent art direction behind them, I might add!
We’ll learn more once we get our hands on the game sometime in Summer 2024.
But sci-fi action-RPG Zenless Zone Zero is coming in 2024.
I got that much.
Looks pretty, too.
I might be coming around on the genre.
Well, that late 2024 has just turned into a concrete date of September 9th 2024.
A gritty yet over-the-top cinematic interrogation scene ends with the title reveal:Den Of Wolves.
The trailer was a cinematic, but it looked nice.
Hopefully their second swing goes better.
Asgard’s Wrath 2
VR games look more and more impressive every year.
And to be fair, the combat in this trailer looks pretty swell.
The action game is coming out on December 15th - so just a few days from now!
Oh, but that wasn’t the real trailer.
It may look like Starcraft and talk like Starcraft, and also talk a bit like Warcraft III… ## The Finals
The Finalsis here, at last.
Monster Hunter Wilds
Finally, another Monster Hunter!
Oof, that makes me excited.
Sadly, we’ll have to wait til 2025 for the next flagship Monster Hunter game.
