If a few hours ago we told you all the winners of the game awards that took place this morning, with a special focus on the great success (on the other hand, expected) achieved by Elden Ring, we must not forget that yes, it is true that it is an event, in which the prices are very important, but it is also the moment that many developers and distributors have chosen to show us what they are working on and make some very interesting announcements (especially if it was not revealed before, due to the surprise effect).

New title announcements, dates, previews, updates, expansions, trailers… anything goes into a night where surprises happen at a breakneck pace, where indies can achieve triple-A visibility, and virtually all gamers will receive at least one piece of good news , sometimes expected, sometimes a complete surprise. Below, we’ve rounded up the most notable Game Awards 2022 reveals, in strict alphabetical order.

Among Us: Hide’n’seek

Even though its days of overwhelming success are long behind us, the small (and adorable) studio Innersloth continues to put hours and hours of work into the game that made us distrust all our friends in September 2020. The latest addition is a new game mode where the cheater faces certain limitations. Hide’n’seek mode has been very popular in other titles like CS:GO for several years now.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

Along with its great success at the Game Awards 2022, From Software, in addition to accepting the award for Elden Ring, also took the opportunity to present us with the future sixth installment of Armored Core, its more than recognized “wicks” saga. , with whom he would sign some of his first big hits.

Baldur’s Gate 3

The final version has been awaited, as we remember that it is currently in beta mode for more than two years, but finally its long-awaited debut in August 2023 is confirmed. It is never too late if luck is good, and even less if it is also announced by the hand of a new trailer.

The Exorcist

After the success that Dontnod achieved with Life is Strange, the developer presented us with a new title in which it maintains the LiS game model, but in which it changes the youth dramas for a proposal for a fantasy setting of the Middle Ages.

Bayonetta: Origins, Cherry and the Lost Demon

Following Amazon’s success with New World, the tech gaming division looks to repeat its success by bringing Blue Protocol, Bandai Namco’s free-to-play MMORPG with an interesting anime aesthetic that promises little to nothing, to the West. monetization model. nothing aggressive.

Crash Team Rumble

The Crash Bandicoot universe is expanded with this interesting proposal, in which we will face off against each other in teams of four against four, embodying iconic characters from the saga, to see which team can get the most Wumpa fruits. By the way, pay attention to how the announcement was made!

Crime boss

Another action game based on the mafia world? Well, maybe so, but I’ll tell you its cast and let you decide whether you’re interested or not: Michael Madsen, Danny Trejo, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Vanilla Ice and, mind you, Chuck himself, among others Norris. Between this list and this first video, the wait for it to be released is going to be very, very long.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

We agree that once again the build-up of expectations around Cyberpunk 2077 is a bit dizzying, but the truth is that its Phantom Liberty expansion is very promising, all the more so since its presence in the game was confirmed by the teaser presented at the Game Awards 2022. Anyway as Idris Elba plays Solomon Reed, an FIA agent for the new United States of America.

Death Stranding 2 (DS2)

It has been rumored for some time that Hideo Kojima is finally confirmed to be working on a sequel to his home delivery simulator successful Death Stranding. The first trailer in which we can see recognizable elements and which reminds us once again that if there’s one thing Kojima is better at than making games, it’s selling, because what progress…

Diablo IV

Trailer

Dune Awakening

It is true that the offer of survival MMOs in the open world is quite wide, but of course none of them take place in the universe created by Frank Herbert, which has been the absolute benchmark in the world of science fiction for more than half a century. Just to set foot on Arrakis, I can’t wait.

final fantasy 16

Another of the most anticipated titles of 2023 and that we can finally confirm that it will arrive on PlayStation 5 on June 22nd for PlayStation 5 and that it celebrates the announcement with a new trailer.

Hades 2

Hades is one of the best games on the scene in its own right India from recent years and using its huge and more than deserved success, Supergiants Games gave us one of the best surprises of the evening by announcing the unexpected but desirable sequel to its roguelike.

Hellboy: Well of Wyrd

The prolific universe created by Mike Mignola around Hellboy will soon add a title developed by Upstream Arcade and co-written by Mignola himself, which is quite promising as a first advance.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores

We’ve all been anticipating the arrival of the first expansion for Horizon: Forbidden West, and the studio has finally confirmed that it will arrive on April 19th. We don’t know much about it, but the presence of the iconic Hollywood sign in the trailer is already blowing our minds.

Immortals of Aveum

This title, in development since 2018, will be the debut of Ascendant Studios, a studio in which we can find, among others, part of the developers of Bioshock, Dead Space or Call of Duty, which will be published by Electronic Arts under EA. The originals.

Judas

It has long been known that Ken Levine, the creator of BioShock, was up to something. And finally, we’ve learned that it’s a first-person action-adventure set in space that at times feels a lot like the world of BioShock, but this first trailer alone is more than promising.

nightingale

The one with the games I do a craft and survival is another genre with a lot of volume on offer, in which it is necessary to be very original in order to stand out from the plot. Looking at its first trailer, Nightingale seems to have achieved that with distinction.

Party animals

It’s already been announced and we’ve seen it before, but as for the delight of the protagonists of this one board gameadded to the bad milk that seems to generally spend, it invites you to think about plans with friends that can end up like Rosario de la Aurora, don’t you think it’s a great plan?

after trauma

Just a first look at the new one survival horror which, as seen in the trailer, seems to be inspired by some of the great classics of the genre. Directed by Raw Fury and Red Soul Games, it hints at a game that will combine survival, puzzles and plenty of scares.

remainder 2

“Soul” has been hugely popular for quite some time now, which is why there are not a few studios that have ventured into creating titles in this genre. The latest example of this can be found in this Remnant 2, a sequel to the well-remembered Remnant: From the Ashes, in which the survivors of a post-apocalyptic Earth will have to face terrible creatures.

replaced

From dystopia to dystopia, Replaced takes us to a strange America of the eighties, which reminds us little or nothing of what we experienced a few decades ago, in a game in which everything indicates that the plot will not leave us indifferent at all.

refundable

Still without a date and with very little information about it, we finally have official confirmation of the jump Returnal, until now exclusive to PlayStation 5, will soon move to PC, strengthening Sony’s plans to gain a presence in this market.

Space Marines 2

Step forward, Warhammer lovers, because the full name of this game would be Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and indeed we have a highly anticipated sequel that will also arrive (how else could it be?) with a special edition to please the fans.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor

It was supposed to be one of the big announcements of the evening, but due to the accidental indiscretion of Steam a few days ago, we already knew that its arrival on the market will take place on the 17th. Of course, we finally got to see the trailer, which also leaked, but it was quickly taken down.

Street Fighter 6

Few fighting game sagas are more historic and iconic than Street Fighter (I write this while thinking about the huge number of five dollar coins that have traveled from my pocket to the bowels of the arcades), which on June 2nd will take a new evolutionary leap , with the sixth installment, which this trailer shows us moves forward.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

The posthumous work of Kevin Conroy, the iconic voice of Batman, this trailer, in addition to showing us a small preview of what’s to come, is mainly a tribute to the actor, who died of bowel cancer last November.

tekken 8

Tekken 8, designed with the graphic delirium called Unreal Engine 5, shows us in this new trailer an excellent visual section combined with a very promising plot and, of course, the combat system that has made this series a reference.

TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE

Another surprise of the evening was the announcement of TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, a new title from the vast and long-running Transformers franchise, which brings us an online multiplayer action game for up to four players that will soon debut in closed beta. .
