The best games of the year are celebrated at the Game Awards. However, the event is also used to present new games and trailers. They usually steal the show from the winners. This year was no exception.
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is the best game of the year. At least that's what the jury decided at the Game Awards in Los Angeles. All categories and winners can be found here . For most viewers, however, the highlights of the show were probably not the awards, but the many new trailers. There were plenty of them again this year. You can find the unveiling of the new Xbox Series X in a separate article.
The first PS5 game is called "Godfall"
Sony did not let itself down at the Game Awards and showed the first official game for the Playstation 5. "Godfall" is a third-person action game with a focus on close combat. It can be played in co-op and will also be released for PC at the end of 2020.
"Ghost of Tsushima" will be released in summer
New video footage and an official date have been released for the new game from Sucker Punch. The makers of 'Infamous' explore feudal Japan in their visually stunning action game. It is set to be released for PS4 in summer 2020.
New perspective with "Gears Tactics"
The "Gears" series is expanding its portfolio with a turn-based strategy game in the style of "XCOM". The single-player game will be released in April for PC and Xbox One.
"Prologue": New game from the PUBG maker
Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the man behind "Playerunknown's Battlegrounds", is working on a new game called "Prologue". However, the trailer doesn't show much yet.
"Fast & Furious" game from the makers of "Project Cars"
"Fast & Furious Crossroads" is to be a team-based action racing game centred around heists. In other words: a "Fast and the Furious" game. Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson take on their well-known roles from the film series. It is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios, who proved with "Project Cars" that they are at least masters of the racing part. It is due to be released for PC and consoles in May.
"Ruined King: A League of Legends Story"
"Ruined King" is the first game in the "League of Legends" universe that does not come from Riot Games itself. It is part of Riot's new publisher initiative called Riot Forge. "Ruined King" is a single-player game from developer Airship Syndicate, who have just released "Darksiders Genesis".
"Conv/rgence: A League of Legends Story"
And another game from Riot Forge. "Conv/rgence" is an action platformer centred around the characters Ekko and Zaun. It is planned for PC and consoles.
Irreverent gun-toting rabbits in "Nine to Five"
In the trailer for "Nine to Five", you initially wonder whether this is a new title from the crazy Rabbids rabbits. But what follows is more reminiscent of a serious tactical shooter. There is currently no more information.
"Sons of the Forest" is the successor to "The Forest"
The survival horror game "The Forest" is getting a sequel. Once again, you will have to fight your way through creepy creatures that want to nibble at you with few resources.
"Ori and the Will of the Wisps" is being delayed
A new trailer for the beautiful platform game has been shown. The release date has been slightly postponed from February to 11 March. It will be released for Xbox One and PC.
"The Wolf Among Us 2" is alive
The sequel to the brilliant fantasy adventure game is happening after all. It is being developed by AdHoc Studio, which consists of former Telltale developers.
"Bravely Default II"
Nintendo has unveiled another JRPG for the Switch. The first part was released on the 3DS. "Bravely Default II" will be released sometime in 2020.
"Final Fantasy 7"
The hotly anticipated remake "Final Fantasy 7" also paid a brief visit to the Game Awards. In the trailer, you can see Cloud on his journey through Midgar. Pointed hairstyles, huge swords, dramatic music - it's all there.
"Humankind"
Sega is developing its own "Civilisation" game. It is called "Humankind" and will be released in 2020.
"No More Heroes 3"
It was already unveiled at this year's E3. The colourful trailer shows the story in loving anime style about the hero Travis Touchdown. Yes, that really is his name. It almost tops Martin Sandwich from the new "Resident Evil 3".
"New World", the MMO from Amazon
Amazon Game Studios is still working on the MMO "New World". The trailer presented at the Game Awards shows a new insight into the ambitious fantasy project. Release date is in May for PC.
48-hour demos
The Game Festival runs parallel to the Game Awards. It is intended to be a digital version of a game fair. You have the opportunity to try out demos of games that have not yet been released. These include "System Shock", "Skatebird" and "Eastward". However, you only have 48 hours to do so. Time runs out on 14 December at 7 p.m. . Here you can find the demos on Steam

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
