Yes, the new cinematic trailer for The Witcher 4 deserved its own entry, but it would be a gross mistake on my part to ignore the rest of the games that passed through The Game Awards 2024. In short, this edition stands out for the number of surprises. Some of the titles had already been announced to a greater or lesser extent, but others literally came out of nowhere. Would you like to know more...?
Helldivers 2 - Omens of Tyranny
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zk0XkX0U_m0The disgusting Illuminate have returned, and as you couldn't expect anything else from these enemies of freedom, their latest abomination is kidnapping the noble citizens of SuperEarth to turn them into zombies called Voteless. New opponents, vehicles, and urban combat. The only good Illuminate is a dead Illuminate. (Available now)
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Naughty Dog returns to action, but this time it's not about remakes or remastered versions. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is a new story, based on the adventures of bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, who ends up trapped on the planet Sempiria. No one has escaped from there in 600 years, and she will need much more than 80s music or an out-of-control product placement to do it. They already closed comments on the trailer... (In development, PS5)
Mafia: The Old Country
Ah, we've talked about this before. Sicily, early 20th century. The origins of organized crime. An ambitious young man, Enzo Favara. Family, honor, codes, violence, blood. Mafia: The Old Country looks very good so far, but we hope to find a more linear story, unlike the open-world we saw in Mafia III. (Northern summer 2025, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Turok: Origins
Do you remember Turok? Hm, maybe you're too young, but the first game dates back to 1997, and its original trilogy is not bad at all. Turok: Origins is essentially a reboot, however, there is a gigantic change in its gameplay, which is the abandonment of first person. In addition to fighting all kinds of dinosaurs, the Turok warriors (plural, because it can be played alone or in teams) must face a new alien threat. (No date, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Onimusha: Way Of The Sword
An old tango says that "twenty years are nothing", and the Onimusha series has taken that phrase very seriously. The last major title was Dawn of Dreams for PS2 in 2006, and honestly we didn't expect to see a new trailer. Kyoto, at the beginning of the Edo period. A lone samurai. An enemy called Malice. His henchmen, the monstrous Genma, and of course, the Oni Gauntlet. (In development, 2026, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Project Robot
It doesn't even have an official title. All we know is its working name, Project Robot, and who is behind it: Fumito Ueda, the same one from Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian. This will be the second title from his studio GenDesign, and apparently there is an agreement with Epic for it to be exclusive to their platform. Some fans speculate that it's a prequel to all the previous games. (No date, PS5, PC, Xbox?)
Project Century
1915, somewhere in Japan. Vibrant, colorful, noisy, and violent. What you just saw is the new project from Ryu Ga Gotoku, the studio responsible for the Like a Dragon series. And as for specific details... no hay ninguno. De hecho, el tráiler se basa en una versión pre-alfa, y todo su contenido está sujeto a cambios. (En desarrollo)
Borderlands 4
New game, new team, new movement mechanic. Borderlands 4 promises an unprecedented degree of freedom in the franchise, but at the same time seeks to preserve a certain familiarity. What do we know about the story? The moon Elpis (the same one that Lilith teleported at the end of Borderlands 3) appears in the vicinity of Kairos, a planet ruled by the dictator Timekeeper. A good dose of Rippers and a pinch of Vault Hunters guarantee chaos. (2025, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Elden Ring: Nightreign
Too many questions. Too many! Who is the Night Lord? Why does the Nameless King appear? Firekeeper, is that you? Was that Sekiro's parry? Does anyone want to think of the children? Elden Ring: Nightreign is essentially a multiplayer game with a lot of emphasis on co-op, but they already confirmed that it will not work as a live service. What more can I add? Oh yes, the Web is on fire. (2025, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
