At The Game Awards, developer S-Game has released a new trailer for its upcoming action game, Phantom Blade Zero, confirming a release date of September 9, 2026 on PC and PlayStation 5. The trailer was pretty epic, starting with some CGI of a martial artist crossing swords with some thugs while carrying a baby in some Death Stranding kind of way. We then cut to some actual gameplay of our protagonist, the elite assassin Soul, as he travels around various environments, enters various...
At The Game Awards, Disney and Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars game, Star Wars: Galactic Racer. It is one of many upcoming Star Wars games in the works, but this one is all about speeding past Star Wars environments at several hundred kilometers per hour. Galactic Racer certainly seems to pay homage to Episode 1: Racer, but that game was all about podracers, while Galactic Racer's trailer focused more on more types of vehicles, like speeders and speederbikes. The brief trailer showed...
Warframe has been hanging around in perpetual beta for well over a decade now. Even the developers joked about it at The Game Awards this year. The game may not be finished, but it still holds a whole world of mythology to dive into. And who better to reintroduce players to Warframe than documentarian and occasional actor, Werner Herzog. Although Herzog didn't appear in person, he left quite an impression in the trailer below. In terms of backstory and mythology, Warframe is a little...
A short but sweet new preorder trailer for Housemarque's highly anticipated third-person shooter Saros appeared during The Game Awards on December 11. The trailer didn't tell us much we haven't learned from the previous trailer: there's still an eclipse, actor Rahul Kohli being handsome and angsty, and a whole lot of projectiles and tentacles. What's definitely new, however, is where it ended: on a new release date of April 30, 2026, pushed back from the original date of March 20. At...
Neon Giant’s debut project, The Ascent, dropped players into an isometric action game hosted by a neon world of crime and conspiracy. Today at The Game Awards, the Sweden-based studio announced its next adventure, No Law, a gritty first-person shooter that centers on one man’s quest for vengeance. No Law follows Grey Harker, a retired military veteran living in another neon-soaked metropolis called Port Desire. He leaves active service for a life of peace, but one day he is attacked in his...
The Dark Knight returns next year with a new Lego Batman game, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and at The Game Awards, we got a fresh look at the next Caped Crusader adventure, along with a May 29, 2026 release date. The Nintendo Switch 2 version has been delayed, coming out sometime later in 2026. The new trailer also showcases not only more of the caped crusader in all of his Lego glory, but a glimpse at some of the other heroes lending him their talents, like Catwoman, Robin...

Today at The Game Awards, the two companies revealed that Invincible Vs. will launch on April 30, 2026, and its roster will include an all-new original superhero--designed by the series's co-creators--named Ella Mental. Ella Mental can control earth, fire, wind, and water, and she uses all four elements in her...

Gang of Dragon, a new game from former Yakuza/Like A Dragon visionary Toshihiro Nagoshi, made its world premiere at The Game Awards, and it looks extremely similar to the Sega's own gangster franchise. The debut trailer shows a back-alley stabbing, a showdown in a bar, and plenty of action, with what appears to be South Korean actor Ma Dong-seok in the starring role. It all looked very reminscent of the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise (and even has dragon in its own name). Gang of Dragon is...
At The Game Awards, Remedy shared more details on its upcoming Control sequel. The game is called Control Resonant, and it's set for release in 2026. In this sequel, both the genre and playable character are different than they were when 2019's Control introduced this branch of the Remedy Connected Universe. As you can see in the reveal trailer, there's an emphasis on melee combat rather than gunplay like many of Remedy's past games. Also, players won't be playing as Jesse Faden again, but...
Last week's announcement about the collaboration between J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Games and Left 4 Dead designer Mike Booth was sparse on details. However, the first official look at 4: Loop debuted at The Game Awards. In the trailer below, this co-op game leaves players hopelessly outmatched against alien invaders. The one advantage that the humans have is that they can die over and over again like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, and awaken in 3D-printed bodies with the knowledge they need to...
Epic Games has announced the next Epic Games Store freebie, and it's none other than Hogwarts Legacy. The 2023 game from Avalanche Software was a huge hit, selling more than 30 million copies and finishing the year as the No. 1 best-selling game in the US, even beating Call of Duty. You still have time to claim this week's free games, which are The Darkside Detective and The Jackbox Party Pack 4. See all free games at Epic Hogwarts Legacy was a smash hit, but the same could not be said...
A new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem has debuted at The Game Awards, confirming that Leon S. Kennedy will indeed make an appearance in the game. Sony spoiled the surprise earlier this week, as new key art featuring Grace Ashcroft--the daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak's Alyssa Ashcroft--also included longtime Resident Evil star Leon and his classic '90s hairstyle. The new trailer gives off serious Se7en vibes, starting with a wrinkly guy in goggles menacing Grace, before we get our...
After debuting at The Game Awards last year, Exodus--the space-opera RPG developed by Archetype Entertainment and published by Wizards of the Coast--returned to the awards show with a new gameplay trailer. The trailer follows the hero, Jun, from humble beginnings and “salvaging scrap to survive” to becoming the fabled “Child of Orion.” We also see a few glimpses of Exodus’s third-person-shooter gameplay, as well as a few of the hulking brutes Jun will be facing off against throughout the...
Today at The Game Awards, after a brief tease earlier in the week, The Witness developer Jonathan Blow and his team at Thekla, Inc. revealed their next game, Order of the Shining Star, which is set to launch in 2026.

It hasn't been an easy year for The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley. For his opening monologue, Keighley got candid and emotional talking about the death of his father, David Keighley, who was the first chief quality officer for Imax. In addition, Keighley experienced the loss of his home because of a natural disaster to start the year. "I don't usually open up about personal things on stage, but 2025 tested me in ways I didn't expect," Keighley said. "In January, my home burned down to...
One of the big reveals at The Game Awards today was the debut game from Bruce Straley's Wildflower Interactive, called Coven of the Chicken Foot. A single-player adventure about an elderly witch named Gertie and a peculiar creature, the game sees the two build a bond as they learn to work together to fulfill an oath. The big draw is the creature's technology, which will react dynamically to your actions, observing how you play and evolving its abilities to assist you. Set in a stylized...
Announced via a cinematic trailer during The Game Awards 2025, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is an upcoming single-player RPG. We know next to nothing about the game save for the time period it's taking place in--the same as the original Knights of the Old Republic games--but it certainly looks cool. Fate is being developed by Arcanaut Studios with a team being helmed by Casey Hudson (yes, the same guy who was the game director of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and...
During The Game Awards' Opening Act, the 30-minute pre-show before the show-show begins, developer Day 4 Night unveiled a quirky little trailer for a super-nostalgic 3D platformer with a cute little badger trying to save his home. Move over, Mario and Donkey Kong, because there's a new jumpman in town ... or the woods--wherever badgers live. Bradley the Badger is an upcoming action-adventure platform that, according to its Steam Store page, is a "love letter to games." More specifically...
Rockstar Games has released a new statement regarding the situation surrounding the fired workers in the UK and internationally, once again claiming the 30+ staffers were let go not because they were trying to form a union, but because they were breaching company policy. Specifically, Rockstar Games told GameSpot that the action was taken against the workers because they were discussing "specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles" and other "confidential information" in a...
