Even before the whole event started, it was kicked out by a pre-show, during which several trailers were shown. Among the complete news from them is, for example Homeworld 3 a The Expanse: A Telltale Series. The news from PlatinumGames has finally been revealed with the release date – Babylon’s Fall. It will come out March 3, 2022. The new sample from Evil West from the Flying Wild Hog studio and a very pleasant surprise is a minor affair Have a Nice Deathin which you will play the role of a mortal in an action style.
But the big things didn’t come until the beginning of the main part of the evening. The whole gameplay footage from Hellblade II: Senua’s Sagathat look great. More than one player would undoubtedly confuse this trailer with a pre-rendered movie. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned the exact release date. The sequel to Senu’s story should arrive next year. This was followed by the announcement of three major innovations led by a new action adventure Star Wars Eclipse, which is the responsibility of the Quantic Dream studio and takes place during the High Republic period. Immediately, the Remedy studio came on the scene with the announcement Alana Wakea 2which moves into the genre of survival horror. A short teaser for the game adaptation was added to the third Wonder Woman, which all fans of superhero comics certainly know well. So far, however, it seems that we will see each of these innovations in 2023 at the earliest, because their development is still at an early stage.
Sony was reminded with their closest exclusivity Horizon: Forbidden West, which awaits us on February 18. Then came the announcement of the PC version of the title, which was previously exclusive to PlayStation. It is about Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. So it will get to the new platform in an improved version with new content and you will be able to play it as early as December 16.
Keichiro Toyama, who is known for Silent Hill, also came to present his novelty at the Game Awards. We did not see the continuation of this cult series, but it showed us the first trailer from his new horror Slitterhead. A performance of the survival followed Nightingalewhich combines a fantasy world and characters in Victorian style and doesn’t look bad at all. This is mainly a multiplayer affair, in which you will try to survive together with others in the local world.
This year, the Czech Awards were present at the Game Awards. Jaroslav Beck from Beat Games came up with a quick announcement and announced it new song pack for Beat Saber. Songs by Lady Gaga are waiting for you in it. Another quick trailer also released the announcement přechodu PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds na model free-to-play. It will be free from January 12.
Extension Delicious Last Course for a great jumping game Cuphead has been postponed several times. With a beautifully crafted trailer, the developers finally introduced us to the new bosses and especially the release date, which falls on June 30 next year. Speaking of extensions, it’s certainly not worth noting that there wasn’t even a trailer on Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. Its release is scheduled for February 22. And we still have a third here extension for Warhammer Vermintide II with the subtitle Warrior Priest. Fans should see this in January.
Sonic took a long time for himself. It started with the introduction of the first trailer for the continuation of his film adaptation. But we were more interested in the announcement Sonic Frontiers. There isn’t much in the trailer, but it looks like the Frontiers will be more open and the processing of the world will move to a more realistic styling compared to the recently improved Colors.
We have already mentioned Wonder Woman, but it was not the only DC game we saw during the evening. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finally showed up in real shots straight from the game. Although we would rather see a pure single-player experience instead of cooperating with Rocksteady, it would not have gone badly. Even here, however, we do not yet know the exact date of issue. Luminous Production, on the other hand, in their new trailer for their fantasy action Forspoken finally revealed when we can look forward to this adventure. It arrives on PC and PlayStation 5 May 24.
After the initial criticism and postponement of the new Saints Row it comes with a trailer in which it finally looks like the right sequel that fans have promised since this crazy series. Although they still differ in style from their predecessors, it will obviously be possible to do really crazy pieces in the new work as well. They came with a short reminder as well Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandswhich will be released on March 25. In the meantime, i was introduced Duna: Spice Wars. In the gaming world, this brand is known mainly due to the strategy of the 90s. Spice Wars will also belong to this genre.
Last year the creators Among Us at the Game Awards unveiled a new map. They came straight to revelation this year virtual reality version. But we will have to wait for more details. But that doesn’t apply to Steelrising from the Spiders studio, which unveiled the June release with the new trailer. Another story from former Telltale Games developers will arrive next spring. Star Trek: Resurgence it will show us what followed the events of the New Generation.
We are slowly approaching the end, during which there were no more news announcements. But the following trailers were definitely worth it. A Plague Tale: Requiem it looks great in motion. We still don’t know the release date, but we should see it next year. Compared to that Dying Light 2, which was reminded of a beautiful movie, awaits us on February 4. The release date was also confirmed by the highly anticipated Elden Ring together with a new trailer that focuses on the story of the local mysterious world.
At the very end came the revelation of the already announced Matrixu Awakens, which represents the capabilities of the new Unreal Engine. You can watch the demo on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S | X for free. But it’s really just a tech demo, so don’t expect a full experience from it.
