Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stormed The Game Awards 2025, winning all but two categories it was nominated in, including the main prize: Game of the Year.
Sandfall Interactive's much-loved RPG won Game of the Year ahead of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Accepting the Game of the Year award to rapturous applause, director Guillaume Broche thanked the "incredible team" at Sandfall Interactive, most of whom were in attendance and in costume. Broche extended his thanks to the "unsung heroes" of the video game industry, "the people who make tutorials on YouTube on how to make a game, because we had no idea how to make a game before."
Broche went on...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just swept The Game Awards, winning a whopping 9 out of 11 of its nominations, including Game of the Year. In celebration, Sandfall Interactive took the stage to announce that its previously-announced DLC for the game is out...now. Right now!
We learned back in October that this update - which is free, by the way - was happening, we just didn't know when. At the time, Sandfall said it would include a new dungeon, enemies, bosses, and more, new language localizations, new costumes, and "even more surprises."
It also shared the following image at the time, which seems to hint at what story the DLC might cover...and we've got a few guesses from staring daggers at it, but we'll let you speculate yourselves...
As revealed at The Game Awards 2025, Capcom is bringing the Blue Bomber back with a new video game called Mega Man: Dual Override.
The first trailer for what will be the first new Mega Man game since 2018’s Mega Man 11 reveals a return to that classic 2D style that made the iconic hero famous. It’s unclear what other elements will return for Mega Man: Dual Override, with the footage mostly promising vibrant visuals and a promise to warp onto PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox consoles in 2027.
Little else is known about Mega Man Dual Override at the moment. While we wait for update, be sure to check out everything announced at The Game Awards 2025. You can also read the full list of all of the...
Two and a half years after its reveal at a PlayStation showcase, Phantom Blade Zero now has a release date. It's September 9, 2026.
This news came alongside a brand new trailer for the game, which showed off more of the game's story and combat. We get a look at Phantom Blade's mysterious metal masked antagonist stealing a baby and doing some real flashy sword moves, followed by plenty of shots of the protagonist, seemingly a wanted man. He's got some pretty swanky moves himself, highlighting further how cool Phantom Blade's combat promises to be. There's also a young woman who gives the hero a good luck charm, then turns into a weird hollow monster or something. Lots going on here.
We've seen Phantom Blade a number of times since its...
Bandai Namco and Project Aces sped into The Game Awards 2025 to finally reveal Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve as the next entry in the long-running flight simulator series.
A trailer for the new high-octane installment arrives six years after the launch of Ace Combat 7, revealing a boatload of footage with near-photorealistic visuals as combat is once again taken to the skies. Project Aces refrained from announcing a release date but confirmed Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is currently planned to launch for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in 2026.
The Game Awards 2025 has been filled with announcements for some of the biggest names in video games. You can check up on everything announced while we wait for more...
Creative Assembly has finally confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in video games: Total War: Warhammer 40,000.
Confirmation comes from The Game Awards 2025, where Stranger Things star and self-confessed Warhammer fan David Harbour said said he was set to star in the strategy game.
The trailer includes a flashy cinematic showing Space Marine poster boys the Ultramarines killing orks - lots of orks. We then get a brief look at gameplay, showing the sheer scale of the action. It looks like we'll be able to campaign across multiple planets, shifting from war-torn battlefields to the galactic war. Based on the trailer, Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is set for release across PC and consoles.
Here's all the official information we have...
The developer of well-received top-down action game The Ascent has revealed its next game and a shift in perspective to first-person.
Neon Giant announced No Law at The Game Awards 2025 with a trailer that showed the move to first-person and a distinct Cyberpunk style. Indeed, at first glance, No Law looks a bit like CD Projekt’s own Cyberpunk 2077, although there are key differences.
No Law is an open world first-person shooter role-playing game with immersive sim elements, due out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S published by PUBG company Krafton. A release window has yet to be announced.
It’s set in a cyber-noire called Port Desire, and sees the player assume the role of Grey Harker, an ex-military veteran who left...
Fresh from its reveal at The Game Awards 2025, first-person open world shooter RPG No Law is already raising eyebrows for looking a fair bit like CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077. It turns out developer Neon Giant expected those comparisons, but are keen to point out important differences.
No Law is the next game from the developer of The Ascent, the well-received cyberpunk-themed twin-stick shooter that launched in 2021. No Law sees Neon Giant shift perspective not just in terms of the camera but tone, to a more grounded cyberpunk aesthetic that revolves around a single city. And based on the debut trailer, No Law is giving off big Cyberpunk 2077 vibes.
In an interview with IGN ahead of the announcement, co-founders and co-creative...
Marvel Rivals is halfway through Season 5, but that isn’t stopping NetEase Games from revealing Deadpool as the first playable hero for Season 6 at The Game Awards 2025.
The Marvel Rivals Deadpool reveal trailer doesn’t come with any gameplay, but it did come with the promise that the Merc with a Mouth will launch for the popular hero shooter alongside Season 6: Night at the Museum January 16, 2026. It’s the earliest NetEase has been ready to show off one of its new heroes, with its trailer highlighting Deadpool’s new voice and design, as well as some of the other elements players can expect next month.
"After Gambit's attempt to steal a prized artifact from the Collector's Museum, he and Rogue return to the scene of the crime in an...
Lords of the Fallen II publisher CI Games has shown gameplay footage of its Soulslike sequel during The Game Awards 2025, featuring new character Omeuras and enemy limbs flying everywhere.
Ahead of tonight's showing, IGN asked CI Games for more detail on what we'd just seen, keen for more detail ahead of the game's launch at some point in 2026.
Most prominent in the trailer is Omeuras, who CI Games creative strategist Ryan Hill told IGN is one of the sequel's central characters. She's brought to life by Hannah Melbourne, who previously played Agrias Oaks in Final Fantasy Tactics, and The Sorceress in Path of Exile 2.
"With the sequel, we wanted to craft a narrative that's more accessible and character-driven, while still honouring...
Blizzard has fully unveiled Diablo 4 expansion Lord of Hatred, confirming that it includes not one but two new classes, including the Paladin.
At The Game Awards 2025, Blizzard announced an April 28, 2026 release date for Lord of Hatred, which will see the Age of Hatred Saga, as Blizzard calls it, reach its climax. Campaign wise, players go up against eternal evil, Mephisto, but there’s a surprise return for Diablo 4 antagonist Lilith, who is back from the dead — shock horror! — after the events of the Diablo 4 campaign. Lord of Hatred adds the new region of Skovos, and there are significant gameplay changes, too.
The big news here is a pre-purchase of Lord of Hatred grants immediate access to the Paladin class, which is a...
Invincible VS has a character never before seen in Robert Kirkman’s superhero universe: Ella Mental.
Revealed at The Game Awards 2025 with gameplay footage, Ella Mental — voiced by Tierra Whack — joins established characters such as Omni-Man and Invincible to flesh out the roster of playable characters in the 3v3 tag fighter.
Ahead of her reveal, we got a chance to chat with not only Invincible series creator Robert Kirkman, but also several members of the development team at Quarter Up to find out some extra details about Ella Mental’s design, her playstyle, and some of the lessons that Quarter Up took away from their recent closed beta.
IGN: So to start, Robert, what can you tell us about this new character?
Robert Kirkman: Ella...
The next-gen, Unreal Engine 5-built Tomb Raider that developer Crystal Dynamics announced three years ago now has an official name and release window. Lara Croft’s new adventure for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S is titled Tomb Raider: Catalyst, and it will be released in 2027 and published by Amazon Game Studios.
The first trailer was showcased at the 2025 Game Awards. In it, we see the legendary adventurer (voiced by Alex Wilton Regan, who has appeared in Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age: Inquisition) wield her signature dual pistols as well as a new gadget: a wrist-mounted grappling hook of sorts that looks like it’ll be used in both traversal and combat.
Crystal Dynamics also gave us our first description of Catalyst’s...
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight emerged from the shadows this evening at The Game Awards with a new trailer, revealing the anticipated adventure's release date.
As announced tonight, TT Games' open world Gotham game will arrive for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 29, 2026. The footage also showed a fresh look at the Bat Cave and some of the many, many heroes and villains you'll meet around the city.
Batman will be assisted by Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Catwoman, as the heroes take on supervillains such as Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Firefly, Mr. Freeze, The Joker, The Penguin, Ra’s al Ghul, and Bane. Oh, and you'll also get to go behind the wheel of the Batmobile from Batman: The...
Bruce Straley, game director of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, has announced a new project, Coven of the Chicken Foot.
Revealed tonight at The Game Awards 2025, the creature-filled puzzle platforming adventure will be the first project to launch from Straley's indie studio Wildflower Interactive, following his departure from Naughty Dog back in 2022.
You play as Gertie, an elderly witch in a world inspired by traditional fantasy adventures. Described as an emotionally-rich, charming-yet-dark adventure with puzzle-platforming elements, the game will feature dungeons, forests and bogs to explore as Gertie collaborates with an odd familiar.
"The dungeons have been plundered and the monsters long slain," reads an official blurb for the...
Remedy Entertainment has announced Control: Resonant, the follow-up to IGN’s 2019 Game of the Year, Control at the 2025 Game Awards. It’s due out in 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S, and it aims to be anything but a straightforward sequel.
For starters, you’re not playing as Jesse Faden anymore. Instead, it’s seven years later and you’ll take control of her younger brother, Dylan. He was taken by the Federal Bureau of Control at age 10, ending up in a coma after being inflicted by The Hiss. And speaking of The Hiss, it’s escaped The Oldest House where the first Control was set, spilling out onto the streets of Manhattan and turning it into a very bizarre place (as you can see in the trailer), overrun and literally twisted and...
After months of speculation and a revealing leak earlier this week, Capcom has finally, officially confirmed what we all knew: Leon S. Kennedy is in Resident Evil Requiem, and he's here to kick butt.
Tonight, at The Game Awards 2025, a fresh trailer for Resident Evil Requiem saw Leon fully revealed, swinging into action as the now-grizzled veteran zombie fighter we all know and love.
We learned what many of us had expected, that Leon will feature as one of two playable characters, alongside the previously announced Grace Ashcroft. While Grace's campaign focuses on survival horror, Leon's separate antics will focus on action.
Earlier this week, the reveal of new Resident Evil: Requiem cover art featuring Leon finally put to bed one...
The Dungeons & Dragons franchise has been steadily making more attempts to expand into video games, and we're seeing that next effort with Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, a new open-world single-player action-RPG that's all about wielding dark magic to battle foes.
Just revealed at The Game Awards 2025, Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is the next project from developer Invoke Studios, the creators of Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. Set in the D&D universe, Warlock focuses on the adventures of the warrior Kaatri, who embraces newfound dark powers to unleash some otherworldly magic in her fight against the forces invading the land.
"Warlock is a third-person action-adventure game built around immersive, expressive magic where you use...
J.J. Abrams and Left 4 Dead creator Mike Booth took to The Game Awards 2025 to announce that their mysterious new co-op video game is a sci-fi third-person shooter called 4:Loop.
A video for Bad Robot Games' PlayStation 5 and PC project was unveiled during today’s show, revealing a twisted new version of Earth filled with deadly creatures (and a lot of purple lights). The first 4:Loop trailer teases gameplay that requires players to form a world-saving team that will live and die by how it learns from its failures.
For all of tonight’s biggest highlights, you can check out everything announced at The Game Awards 2025. You can also keep up with our running list of all of the winners.

After some unusual teases and a trademark inadvertently showing Larian Studios' hand, the Baldur's Gate 3 developer's next game has been officially revealed at The Game Awards with one heck of a disturbing trailer. It's Divinity. Just Divinity.
We don't have any details on the game itself, but we can glean some from the very cinematic trailer. We saw a medieval-looking festival with all sorts of revelry, and a giant wicker man ready for burning. Inside the man, an actual man is chained and tortured as they burn the effigy down. But as he melts away (it's gross, okay?), his blood (?) drips into the soil, weird screaming plants come up, the wicker man goes nuts, there's a lot of screaming, and then we see the statue that's had everyone...
The Game Awards 2025 kicked off with a huge announcement: Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is led by Casey Hudson, former director of the much-loved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy. The development studio is Edmonton, Alberta-based Arcanaut Studios.
It's described as a narrative-driven, single-player RPG and spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic. Lucasfilm insisted Fate of the Old Republic is not a direct sequel or continuation of KOTOR, and will introduce new characters for an all-new story. It's said to be in the early stages of development. The teaser trailer is below.
Here's the official blurb:

Capcom's upcoming space adventure Pragmata was back at The Game Awards today with some pretty significant news after years of delays. It has a release date at last: April 24, 2026.
In addition, we learned today that a gameplay demo is now available today on Steam. And in addition to previously-announced platforms PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, it's also coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in a pretty significant get for the new console.
Pragmata follows an astronaut named Hugh stranded in space, aided by a friendly artificial intelligence named DI0367, who he refers to as Diana. She takes the form of a little girl who rides on Hugh's back as he fights his way through hostile space alien-robot things, and hacks them so that they're vulnerable to...
The Game Awards don't start for another half hour, but video game announcements are still finding a way to sneak in anyway. Compulsion Games just revealed that South of Midnight is coming to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in spring of 2026.
This comes from a pair of tweets/X posts from the official Compulsion Games account, announcing each platform release respectively.
Depending on what the final release date ends up being, this will likely time out to be roughly one year from South of Midnight's initial release, which was on April 8, 2025 of this year. This puts South of Midnight in good company with a number of other Xbox Game Studios games that have gone onto rival platforms, including Pentiment, Grounded, Sea of Thieves...

Traditionally, the great holiday shopping deals would end after Cyber Monday. That is apparently no longer true. Case in point: today only, Best Buy is offering the console versions of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for under $40 each. Specifically, you can get the PS5 or Xbox version of AC Shadows for $34.99, and Black Ops 7 for $39.99. Both deals go away at midnight, so grab them fast if you want them.
Today's Best Game Deals
The Black Ops 7 deal is particularly good, because it’s on the steelbook cross-gen bundle editions of the game. That means you get a free steelbook case for the game with your purchase. And regardless of whether you buy the PS4 or PS5 version, it’ll work on both systems natively. The...
EA and Battlefield Studios have issued a lengthy statement after the Battlefield 6 Winter Offensive 1.1.3.0 update saw players reporting widespread issues related to the main menu UI, gameplay stuttering, Breakthrough, and much, much more.
The message, posted both to Battlefield social media accounts and the FPS franchise’s website, functions both as an explanation and a game plan. BF Studios says hotfixes and updates will now roll out in the coming days as it attempts to iron out the numerous kinks that started making waves in the Battlefield 6 community earlier this week.
Surprise Attack
Winter Offensive was originally positioned to bring wintery new content hand-in-hand with audio fixes, more reliable hit registration, and...
Lords of the Fallen publisher CI Games has just announced and released a surprise final update to its 2023 game — mere hours ahead of its sequel getting a fresh airing at tonight's Game Awards.
Today's new Version 2.5 release caps off a lengthy journey for the action role-player, which launched to mixed reviews but has since turned around its player sentiment via a series of major post-launch patches.
Lords of the Fallen's previous major 2.0 update was once believed to be its last — as was its 1.5 update before that. But, based on further fan feedback, CI Games has put together one final offering that reworks enemy and boss behavior and adds a new Veteran Mode for those seeking the game's toughest challenge.
"We've prided ourselves...

As part of our ongoing month-long exclusive coverage of High on Life 2, the upcoming first-person shooter, I sat down with Squanch Games Chief Creative Officer Mikey Spano and Chief Design Officer Erich Meyr to discuss the art of making a comedy game sequel. Is it any easier to pull off than the comedy movie sequel, which doesn't have a great overall track record. All that and more are covered in the interview you can watch in the video above or read in the transcript below.
High on Life 2 will be released on February 13, 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S – including launching on day one into Xbox Game Pass.
