Genshin Impact has won the Player's Voice award at The Game Awards 2022, following an intense battle against Elden Ring and Sonic Frontiers.
Unlike other awards bestowed at The Game Awards, which are primarily determined by members of the press and other influential individuals in the industry, the Player's Voice category is 100% fan-voted. Earlier this week, ahead o the show, the results projected that Genshin Impact would edge out both Sonic Frontiers and Elden Ring. Other nominees for the Player's Voice category include God of War: Ragnarok and Stray.
Although Elden Ring, in particular, did not get selected, FromSoftware's latest project did go home with a few awards, including Best Art Direction and Best Game Direction. For more...

After a lengthy hiatus and many rumors, Armored Core is back. FromSoftware announced Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon during today's Game Awards presentation with a brief trailer today, confirming that it will be out sometime in 2023.
The CG trailer shows just what you expect: giant robots wheeling around and fighting one another. Other notable scenes include a burning planet and a mech with a backpack looking out over the horizon.
Little else is known about the sequel save that its release window. Fans will no doubt speculate that FromSoftware will give this one a Soulsborne edge — following on from the success of Elden Ring and other releases — but that's far from certain.
After all, Armored Core is one of FromSoftware's oldest...
The first gameplay for Soulsike reboot The Lords of the Fallen was revealed during The Game Awards 2022.
The Unreal Engine 5 gameplay shows the tough as nails dark fantasy RPG in action in a brand new trailer, providing a first glimpse at some familiar but still fresh looking melee combat.
The Lords of the Fallen was revealed earlier this year as a reboot to the similarly titled Lords of the Fallen, a Soulslike from 2016 that failed to take off as a franchise. Following years of troubled development, the sequel was finally rebranded as the reboot and revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier this year.
The lengthy reveal trailer showed off the game's dark setting, taking place 1,000 year after the first game and in a world...

The first gameplay footage of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been shown at The Game Awards 2022. The game is set to come out on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime in 2023.
The gameplay showed the Defenders of Mankind taking on the horrors that dwell in the darkness. Plenty of skeletons, demons, and other monsters were shown, along with a lot of third-person shooting and melee combat.
Space Marine 2 is the long-awaited sequel to Relic Entertainment's third-person shooter, released back in 2011. This second game, in development at Saber Interactive, will once again follow the journey of Ultramarine Captain Titus, now taller and stronger thanks to his Primaris upgrade.
The reveal CGI trailer showed him and his squad carving...
At The Game Awards, Bandai Namco has announced that it will publish Blue Protocol when it is released outside of Japan in 2023.
Blue Protocol is Bandai Namco’s anime-inspired MMORPG where players can create their own custom character and choose between five classes. The developers are calling Blue Protocol an anime come to life.
The MMO was co-developed by Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios and is set in the world of Regnas, which is facing the brink of destruction. Players will harness a power called Flux to defeat foes and team up with allies to face the oncoming threats.
The five classes include Blade Warden, Twin Striker, Keen Strider, Spell Weaver, and Foe Breaker.
Amazon Games tells IGN that Blue Protocol began...
Gearbox Publishing and developer Gunfire Games have announced that looter shooter Remnant 2 will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2023.
Revealed with a 30 second trailer (and an extended version available below) at The Game Awards 2022, the three-person cooperative shooter will make a return with even more deadly worlds, unique loot, and ghastly beasts.
"Remnant 2 plunges players deeper into a devastated world requiring a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat against cunning enemies and punishing boss battles," the game's synopsis reads. "Enter the fray as a lone- wolf or even the odds by teaming up with two friends to overcome daunting challenges."
Each new playthrough puts players in a...
Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4 will launch on June 6, 2023, with a public beta coming beforehand. Players who preorder Diablo 4 will gain open beta early access.
Revealed at The Game Awards 2022, the 2023 release date was finally narrowed down as Blizzard confirmed the June date for its first take on an open world version of the action-RPG series.
The release date announcement makes sense given that some players have already had the chance to play Diablo 4. Blizzard launched a closed beta for hardcore fans of the previous games to trial Diablo 4's end-game, though some footage had already leaked.
Diablo 4 was announced more than three years ago at BlizzCon 2019 and has slowly but surely been teased by Blizzard ever since. The...
Jun Kazama is back. Jin Kazama's mother, who seemingly died way back in Tekken 2, will return in Tekken 8 as a playable character, tonight's Game Awards trailer revealed.
The new trailer includes a closer look at Tekken 8's gameplay than the original teaser trailer, which served as a tech demo of sorts. In addition to showing off some of the combat, the trailer reveals the new iterations of King, Paul, Lars, Marshall Law, and Jack-8.
It's Jun though who will garner the most scrutiny though, as her return finally confirms multiple fan theories that she was in fact alive all along. The trailer ends with Tekken's 8 tagline: "Fist Meets Fate."
Tekken 8 was first revealed earlier this year, and was subsequently confirmed to be an...
After more than two years of being available in early access, Baldur's Gate 3 finally has a release month: August 2023.
Revealed at The Game Awards 2022, the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 will be released in the summer.
Developed by beloved RPG studio Larian, Baldur's Gate 3 was first revealed back in 2019 with a grotesque trailer that depicted the horror of the story's main antagonists: the mind flayers. Much like Larian's previous Divinity: Original Sin games, Baldur's Gate 3 was initially released via Steam Early Access in October 2020.
While this version only covers the first segment of the story, it has steadily grown in features over the years, including the addition of new classes like the barbarian and bard, as well as...
A demo for Square Enix’s action RPG Forespoken has just hit the PlayStation Network.
Forspoken, the new action RPG from Square Enix’s Luminous Productions has been delayed numerous times. But as it gets ready for its January 24, 2023 release date, Square Enix has released a free demo.
Forspoken stars Frey Holland, a woman from our world who gets transported into a fantasy world full of magic but plagued by a mysterious illness. Frey must learn to control her new powers and rescue the world of Athia from the grips of the tyrannical Tantas.

We just got a brand new trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at The Game Awards that has confirmed its previously leaked March release, narrowing it down to March 17, 2023.
The trailer focuses on the returning hero Cal Kestis, who in the five year interim between Fallen Order and Survivor has become a stronger, more powerful Jedi Knight. He shows off multiple new Force and lightsaber abilities, including appearing to dual wield lightsabers as well as assembling a lightsaber that looks more like a claymore. At one point he seems to partner with multiple mounts that allow him to travel across both ground and air quickly.
Cal is also sporting a new look and has ditched his tunic, and he's not the only one. His former crew member Cere...
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League got a new trailer at The Game Awards, which paid tribute to the late Kevin Conroy. We also got a release date for the game, which is coming on May 26, 2023.
The trailer opened with a silhouette of Batman, before showing the Suicide Squad torturing the Flash. Then, Batman arrives and starts doing his thing in the shadows, which definitely frightens the Suicide Squad. Batman ultimately reveals himself and turns out the lights.
The trailer ended with a tribute to Conroy, with a message that said "Thank You Kevin". After the trailer, host Geoff Keighley confirmed that Conroy is the voice of Batman in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Conroy voiced the Caped Crusader in Rocksteady's Arkham...
Announced tonight during The Game Awards, The Last of Us Part 1 officially has a PC release date: March 3, 2023.
This remake of The Last of Us was originally slated to arrive on PC "very soon" after its September launch on PlayStation 5, but we hadn't heard a firm date since then. A trailer shown during the award show gives a fresh look at familiar gameplay now captured on PC.
In our review of The Last of Us Part 1, IGN's own Luke Reilly called it "a gorgeous and well-honed remake of one of the biggest boppers in the PlayStation pantheon, The Last of Us Part I is the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic."
This story is developing...

Nintendo and Platinum Games have revealed a new Bayonetta spin-off will arrive on Switch early next year. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, which was revealed during The Game Awards this evening, is set to launch on March 17, 2023.
Players will be able to control both Cereza and Cheshire in the new game, which Nintendo has confirmed features a young version of Bayonetta 3's Cereza.
IGN's review of Bayonetta 3, which was released in October this year, called it a "more ambitious sequel than its more iterative predecessor" and praised its high-quality and challenging combat.
Luke is Games Editor at IGN's Sydney office. You can chat to him on Twitter @MrLukeReilly.

Ken Levine, the creator of BioShock, has finally revealed his next game titled Judas.
At the Game Awards, a trailer for the upcoming title was revealed. While details are still under wraps, the trailer showcases what looks to be a narrative-driven, single-player, first-person shooter. The game is being developed by Ghost Story Games, a Take-Two Interactive subsidiary, and this will serve as the studio's first title.
“We founded Ghost Story Games to build upon the legacy of System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock Infinite,” said Levine notes in a recent press release. “With Judas, we’ve created an entirely new world and set of characters while exploring different approaches to single-player, narrative first-person shooters.”

Retro-futuristic platformer Replaced got a brand new trailer at The Game Awards 2022.
The new trailer kicked off with a number of newspaper headlines that set up the dark, alternative 1980s America the game takes place in. We then see a montage of areas the game takes place in, including a trailer park, a run-down city, a laboratory, and more. You can watch the stylish trailer below.
Replaced is set to come out on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime next year. It was originally slated for 2022, but was delayed due to the war in Ukraine.
The game was first announced at E3 2021. The game is a Cyberpunk thriller with a gorgeous 2.5D art style. Replaced's story features an AI trapped in a human body against its will.

The popular roguelite, Vampire Survivors, is available on iOS and Android. The full game is available for download now, for free.
As announced during The Game Awards, the bullet hell hit Vampire Survivors is now playable on iOS and Android joining its counterparts on Xbox and Steam, where it is currently one of the most popular games on the Steam Deck.
We were huge fans of Vampire Survivors' 1.0 release earlier this year, awarding it an 8 in our review. At the time, we said, "With its dead-simple graphics and basic map and enemy design, Vampire Survivors seems like it has no business sticking with me as much as it does. And yet, I felt compelled to put over a hundred hours into experimenting with its many weapon and ability upgrade...
Capcom has finally confirmed that Street Fighter 6 will launch on June 2 following a ton of rumors and even a leak through the PlayStation Store.
Announced at The Game Awards 2022, a new trailer showed off some minigames from its single-player World Tour mode, as well as four characters: the brand new Manon, Marisa, and JP, and the returning Dee Jay.
The PlayStation Store leaked the release date just a day ahead of its official reveal, following in the footsteps of Steam after it accidentally leaked Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date.
Street Fighter 6 was announced back in February, with new bits of information being released slowly but surely since. A gameplay trailer showed Chun-Li and Ryu in action alongside newcomer Luke...
Days Gone developer says it doesn’t share John Garvin’s view on why it was poorly received.
A statement from Bend Studios on Twitter has addressed the recent outburst from the Days Gone director, who blamed “woke reviewers” for its critical reception.
“We are aware of the comments made by our previous Creative Director on Days Gone regarding his personal view on the critical reception of our intellectual property,” it confirmed. “Bend Studio does not share his sentiment, nor does it reflect the views of our team.”
Garvin’s recent Twitter outburst (which has since been deleted) laid the blame squarely at reviewers who “couldn't handle a gruff white biker looking at his date's ass”.
Additionally, he blamed technical issues as well...

Announcing his return on Twitter, the former Battlefield producer revealed that he’s leading the franchise following the turbulent launch of Battlefield 2042.
“Well, hello again Battlefield community — I’m back!” he said. “This time around, things really are very different (in a good way) — and I’m super eager to make the future of Battlefield brighter and better than ever!”
Sirland is best known for producing Battlefield 4 but has a long history with the franchise already.
He began with Battlefield 2 back in 2005 and went on to work on Battlefield: Bad Company. After exiting the company to pursue other projects, he returns with Battlefield...

Over the years, gaming studios have tried to recapture the magic of tabletop classics like D&D and Pathfinder to varying levels of success, with titles like Baldur’s Gate II and Chrono Trigger among some of the best. However, it’s been a while since a game came along that showed as much promise as SGRA Studios’ upcoming sandbox RPG adventure, Dragonheir: Silent Gods.
Dragonheir is an online, multiplayer role-playing game set in Adenthia, an enchanting land filled with dwarves, orcs, Death Knights, dark elves, sorcerers, and more. A battle of the dragon gods has left Adenthia in shambles, and the three-headed Dragon Queen seems determined to finish plunging the world further into darkness. That is unless the Chosen One can stop her...
Epic Games is looking to stop its younger Fortnite fans from spending parents' money unknowingly or speaking with strangers online through its new child-specific accounts.
Outlined in a blog post, Epic announced what it's calling Cabined Accounts, which offer a host of additional security features (that can be managed by parents) to ensure a safer and more structured environment for younger players of popular titles like Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys.
Children under the age of 13 will have to supply a parent or guardian's email address when signing up under the new policy, and they'll need to request permission from that adult to access many of the service's core features.
Though they can still play games from the Epic...
The Game Awards 2022 are just one day away, and one of the big discussions every year surrounds which game will win the final award of the night: Game of the Year.
This year, the nominees are A Plague Tale: Requiem, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Even though IGN's own Best Game of 2022 nominees differ, we thought it would be interesting to use audience data from our coverage of the five Game of the Year nominees to predict what game will walk away with the award on Thursday night.
IGN Data Analyst Eric Zalewski compiled the data used for this experiment. We used a combination of data from IGN.com, IGN's YouTube, Steam, and other sources to determine which games were the most...
The PlayStation Store appears to have leaked the release date for Street Fighter 6 after temporarily listing the game as a June 2 launch.
As spotted by ResetEra user Neoxon and shared on Twitter (below) by industry insider Wario64, the alleged release date isn't confirmed as of yet but does contribute to rumours that a full reveal is coming later today at The Game Awards 2022.
Three editions of the game were also listed - Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate - and preordering any of these within a "limited time" grants players "special titles and stickers" alongside costume variants.
The Deluxe Edition comes with the Year 1 Character Pass (that will presumably grant the player each new character released over the first year after launch)...
