The Game Awards 2022: Every major game announcement (GamesHub)

The Game Awards 2022 featured a range of major surprises, including fresh World Premiere game reveals, flashy trailers, and more.

In addition to lightsaber gameplay, the new look showed off a rideable eagle-like creature, and plenty of high drama. It launches for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC on 24 January 2023, and now has a demo available for everyone to play. It’s the long-awaited Judas, a Bioshock-like adventure game starring strange creatures, a guilded world, and plenty of post-apocalyptic action. This showed off a futuristic world to romp through, plenty of neon glow, and new high-powered attacks. The cinematic trailer for the upcoming title showed off a lithe warrior facing off against a witch creature, all in gorgeous chiaroscuro lighting. This storybook-like game features a whimsical, isometric art style, and follows Cereza (a young Bayonetta) on her earliest adventures. In the trailer, Hellboy was seen fighting a were-beast in brawling, cinematic combat. In future, the game’s protagonist, The Beheaded, will be joined by Castlevania protagonists Alucard and Richter Belmont in a fight against Dracula. It’s time for the industry to recognise the games of the year – the successes, triumphs, and major delights we all enjoyed along the way. In After Us, you play as an ethereal young girl roaming a vast, post-apocalyptic world filled with strange environments, giant ghost animals, and plenty of beauty. With 2022 now fading into the rearview, it’s officially (and thankfully) time to focus on the future. You can follow along with The Game Awards 2022 on

Everything We Saw At The Game Awards 2022 (Kotaku)

From Death Stranding 2 to Hades II, The Game Awards 2022 gave us a ton to get excited about.

[Hades II](https://kotaku.com/hades-2-early-access-release-date-supergiant-chronos-1849872741) for me. The Game Awards didn’t skimp on the trailers this year, and that’s even with Instead we got an Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon trailer, and people are very excited about it. We got another look at the upcoming Super Mario Bros. It’s a coproduction between Bandai Namco and Amazon Games, and has a surprisingly classic anime look to its characters. Get ready to use all of Aloy’s tools and abilities to get through this new challenge. Tekken 8 is coming, fighting game fans, and it’s bringing back some old favorites like Paul, Law, and Jack-8. New weapons, new armor, and a whole new world is waiting for us next year, and I’m fully prepared to get sucked back into Destiny again. There’s the BioShock hands, the weird BioShock enemies hopped up on a weird drug, and machinery. It plays with perspective and gives some mind-bending Portal vibes for sure. If you’re a fan of either thing, this will be something to check out, and if you’re a fan of both, you are eating well. Gaming’s biggest night has come and gone, leaving with it a collection of discourse and a pile of new trailers for us to watch and re-watch over the holidays.

The ceremony, a several-hour long celebration of video games and their surrounding communities, also serves as a promotional vehicle for upcoming games: much of the Awards’ runtime is devoted to trailer reveals and game announcements.

While the game that The Game Awards names Game of the Year is the one the industry and its players tend to recognize most, there are a lot more official awards to be given out. While Ragnarok is great and probably would have been named Game of the Year in almost any other 12-month period, it's hard to argue Elden Ring doesn't deserve it. [Horizon Forbidden West](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/horizon-forbidden-west/) and Plague Tell Requiem were never likely to stop Elden Ring from winning the big one, the winner's one real rival emerged as FromSoftware rounded the final bend with The Game Awards in sight. Months after dataminers discovered a colosseum hidden in The Lands Between, Elden Ring got DLC centered around that very building. Something many of [the more than 12 million of you who have played it](https://www.thegamer.com/elden-ring-12-million-copies-sold/) considered a foregone conclusion for the majority of the past 12 months. [God Of War Ragnarok](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/god-of-war-ragnarok/) launched in November, posing the one true threat to Elden Ring's crown.
