StreamCharts also noted a combined concurrent viewer count of over four million across all platforms. Compare this to The Game Awards 2023, which had 118 million global livestreams and 2.17 million concurrent viewers throughout all media platforms.

The show featured major announcements like The Witcher 4, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, a sequel to Okami, Elden Ring: Nightreign, Split Fiction, and more. The biggest winners included Astro Bot (which won Game of the Year), Balatro, and Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Shortly after the show wrapped, Keighley confirmed that The Game Awards would return on December 11th, 2025, live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California.

Today we are humbled and thrilled to share that #TheGameAwards 10th Anniversary show delivered a historic 154 million global livestreams, our most watched show ever.

Like Dungeon and Fighter, ARAD features multiple classes with unique abilities (including what seems to be the Berserker at the end). However, you’ll meet other characters with “distinct stories” while the world offers vast cities and landscapes to explore on foot and via airship. The story is “brand-new” for the franchise, though it may occur before the main game’s events.

Dungeon and Fighter: ARAD doesn’t have a release window, so stay tuned for more details in the coming months. In the meantime, Nexon’s other action RPG, The First Berserker: Khazan, launches March 27th, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out its latest cinematic trailer, supervised by the Russo brothers.

Set in 1915 Japan, it features a protagonist quickly smacked by thugs, leading to a pitched battle. Later, we see him dual-wielding sickles and taking on enemies in the rain. There’s a fair amount of brutality, like when stabbing opponents in the stomach or slicing necks. A boss fight is also showcased, with the individual blocking hits with his weapon before getting knocked down.

Overall, the combat feels more grounded and visceral – a stark contrast to how Like a Dragon has felt over the years. The vibes are immaculate, and the environments are detailed, so it should be interesting to see how this shapes up.

Project Century doesn’t have a release window or platforms, so stay tuned for updates in the coming months.

The trailer description notes that this is a “new adventure” in a similar vein to the first game. Whether this means Orochi’s return remains to be seen. It may be a while before the title launches, with development recently kicking off under a new studio, Clovers, a resurrection of sorts for the original’s developer.

In the meantime, Okami is available for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC. The action-adventure title is inspired by Japanese mythology with gameplay akin to The Legend of Zelda. It features the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, manifesting as a white wolf, as she arrives to save the lands from darkness. Check out our review of the HD version here.

There’s no release window, but it is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The title and tease of “new roads await” could indicate crossing dimensions or maybe multiple timelines. It wouldn’t be the first time that the Sonic franchise has dabbled in either aspect, as Sonic Rush and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) have showcased.

The last title in the franchise was Team Sonic Racing, available in 2019. Despite above-average reviews, it sold fairly well for Sega. You can check out our review for it here – we gave it an eight out of ten, praising the mechanics and criticizing the AI.

The faction leader in question is capable of tossing large Pals around willy-nilly. He also has a new lion-like Pal that he spars with day and night. Of course, it’s not long before the player comes across them and promptly begins battle.

Based on the trailer, there’s a new armor set and weapons to unleash on foes. Pocketpair also promises new buildings and mechanics (with a robot emoji, perhaps indicating fresh automation tools). A lot of content is in store, so stay tuned for more details when Feybreak goes live in the coming weeks.

Palworld is available in early access on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.

It will mark the sequel’s arrival on the platform since it launched in June 2020 for PS4. However, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered includes several new features like Guitar Free Play, developer commentary, and new Lost Levels. There’s also a new roguelike survival mode, No Return, which features multiple playable characters as players battle through hordes of enemies.

Various modifiers and objectives keep runs challenging and fresh, and you can unlock new skins with progress. Check out our review of the PS5 version here.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be “optimized and enhanced” for PC, so stay tuned for its complete feature set and requirements in the coming months.

Despite the more realistic visuals, The First Berserker: Khazan features an animated aesthetic, though it’s still brutal. Taking place before the events of Dungeon and Fighter, it features the disgraced general Khazan embarking on a path of vengeance after betrayal at the hands of the Pell Los Empire.

Players utilize a variety of weapons, from a dual-wield sword and axe to a spear and great sword. Each has unique abilities, while the gameplay focuses on parrying, dodging, and striking enemies. It’s a challenging affair – check out our impressions from the beta here.

Players must traverse the Lost Lands, utilizing an array of weapons like sniper rifles, shotguns, plasma rifles, bows, and hatchets. You can upgrade them throughout and even take DNA from enemies for new powers. As you unlock new abilities, your suit will evolve in real-time, which will be useful, given the sheer number of threats attacking on the ground and in the air.

There are various planets to explore, with unique locations like canyons, caves, temples, and more to explore. Turok: Origins doesn’t have a launch date or even a release window, but it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months.

The story focuses on The Timekeeper and a “world-altering catastrophe”, which causes chaos on Kairos, a new planet. Players will presumably have to stop him, using “billions” of new weapons, the “deepest” Vault Hunter skill trees and a world more dynamic than ever. You also get new vehicles (which can be summoned anywhere) to explore and even partake in races. Co-op returns and supports up to four players.

There’s no release date (aside from not launching close to Grand Theft Auto 6), but Borderlands 4 is touted as the “most ambitious” title in the series. If nothing else, the reveal trailer doesn’t indulge too much in the humor caused much ire in Borderlands 3. Stay tuned for more details in the coming year.
