It’s been top-of-the-line Game Awards occasions for years, with the primary trailers for The Witcher 4, Naughty Dog’s new sport, and rather more.
The Game Awards are over for an additional 12 months and we’d must say that was most likely the very best the present has ever been, in its complete 10 12 months historical past, by way of the occasion itself being pleasurable to observe and the sheer variety of fascinating and sudden trailer reveals.
You can discover hyperlinks to all the highest tales from the award ceremony beneath, which we’ll add to because the day goes on – as there’s a formidable quantity to get via.
As common although, these types of showcases are simply as fascinating for what they didn’t function, as for what was proven, and predictably there was no signal of both the Nintendo Switch 2 or GTA 6.
As we suspected, Nintendo had virtually no presence at The Game Awards this 12 months, their solely official involvement being a paid advert for Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom. Although the extra impassioned advert for his or her video games was made by the director of Sony’s Astro Bot, throughout his acceptance speech for Game of the Year.
Surprisingly, Xbox was underrepresented on the occasion and whereas there was a trailer for Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds 2 that was actually all, apart from a stealth advert for Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, which noticed a minimum of Harrison Ford seem on stage to announce one of many award winners.
(The sport itself was not eligible for something on the night time, because it got here out after the nomination interval – as a substitute it’ll have to attend till subsequent 12 months’s awards ceremony.)
If the night time belonged to anybody it was Sony, with 4 award wins for Astro Bot, together with Game of the Year, and the announcement of Naughty Dog’s new sport Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, as the ultimate huge reveal on the finish of the night time.

Why wasn’t GTA 6 Trailer 2 at The Game Awards 2024?
As for GTA 6, it’s now extra not possible than ever to say what’s happening. The probabilities of the second trailer debuting this 12 months now appear distant, particularly as Rockstar often offers good warning of when new trailers will premiere.
A greater than 12 months’s wait between the trailers appears very worrying, for these involved the sport could also be delayed into 2026, particularly as a result of a second trailer could be anticipated to disclose the discharge date, or not less than month.
However, Rockstar is very unpredictable, so nonetheless distant it could be, there’s nonetheless an opportunity for the trailer to look this 12 months – however at this level we definitely wouldn’t guess on it.
As for what was introduced, there won’t have been something on Resident Evil 9 or Tomb Raider (or Half-Life 3, quelle shock) however we did get a primary have a look at The Witcher 4, a brand new Elden Ring sport, Naughty Dog’s subsequent venture, and the follow-up to It Takes Two and The Last Guardian.
What’s extra, all however The Witcher 4 featured not less than some gameplay footage, as did a lot of the different trailers on the night time, which is a notable enchancment on earlier Game Awards occasions.
