     ARC Raiders is a co-op game about fighting massive robots, coming in 2022

One of the world premieres at The Game Awards was ARC Raiders, the debut title from Embark Studios. It's a Stockholm-based developer headed up by former EA and DICE executives, and it looks like an intense co-op game with a heavy dose of science fiction. It's set to launch sometime in 2022, and will be free to play.

The new trailer shows off some impressive gameplay, showing groups of players traveling through highly realistic wastelands, taking down swarms of robotic drones. Eventually, though, the crew runs up against some truly massive mechanical monsters: a huge four-legged walker, and an even larger Iron Giant-style mech that rises up out of the desert dust after a UFO crashes on the horizon. There's a throwback vibe to action sci-fi movies of the '80s, and the whole package looks pretty terrific.

Embark Studios says its goal is to "blur the line between playing and making," and its site highlights some of the advanced tech its using in its games - ARC Raiders is conspicuously billed as its 'first,' implying heavily that there are more games in the works.

     GTFO has left Early Access, and you can get it on sale this week

December 9, 2021: GTFO has left Early Access, developer 10 Chambers announced at the Game Awards.

Co-op survival horror title GTFO has been in early access for two years, but now developer 10 Chambers has announced that it's ready for release. At the Game Awards, 10 Chambers revealed that GTFO 1.0 has arrived and is available for download now.

10 Chambers promised way back in March 2020 - just four months after the Left 4 Dead-inspired game came out - that GTFO would leave early access in 2021. It's come very close to breaking that promise, but fortunately the team now confirms that version 1.0 is now available with a surprise announcement made during the Game Awards December 9. Not only that, but it's on sale for 25% off for the first week of full release.

However, this doesn't mean 10 Chambers is done with GTFO. The team has provided around 50 expeditions within GTFO's five Rundowns so far, and narrative director Simon Viklund confirms that "Rundown updates will continue with GTFO in Version 1.0," hopefully allaying fan concerns.

     Space Marine 2 will let you slice up tyranids with a chainsword, manually

Ultramarine Captain Titus is set to make his return in Space Marine 2, a sequel to the gory 2011 action game Warhammer 40K: Space Marine. Developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment revealed Space Marine 2 in a trailer that debuted at the Game Awards.

While the original Space Marine pit Titus and his team against Orks and Chaos forces on a forge world, the enemies in Space Marine 2 will be the fearsome tyranids, which are invading a world that's being defended by the Imperial Guard. In the trailer, a unit of guards is being overrun by the alien creatures - that is, until Captain Titus and his Ultramarines show up in a Thunderhawk.

There's a lot of CG in this trailer, but we get some brief glimpses of gameplay at the end: Titus mows through huge swarms of tyranids with his chainsword, and leaps down with an assault pack to shock nearby enemies. In the original Space Marine, the only way to replenish Titus' health was to engage in brutal melee combat, so we can probably expect something similar this time out.

     Square Enix RPG Forspoken launches on Steam in six months' time

Square Enix's other big upcoming RPG game - you know, the one that's not the next entry in the Final Fantasy series - got a fresh trailer at The Game Awards, confirming that it's due to launch in just over six months' time. It's coming PlayStation and PC (via Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store) on May 24, 2022.

The trailer reveals a load of new details about the plot and setting, as well as a host of the monsters you'll be fighting and the magic powers you'll make use of.  It also reveals Walking Dead star Pollyanna McIntosh's role as Tanta Prav, a mad sorceress.

Square Enix also announced some pre-order details. On PC, you'll get the Spectra combo necklace, overclock nails, and elite cloak for purchasing early. You can also spend extra for a Digital Deluxe edition, with a bit of prequel DLC to launch in winter 2022, as well as a digital mini artbook and soundtrack.

     Vermintide 2's next career DLC is out now: meet Warrior Priest of Sigmar Saltzpyre

Victor Saltzpyre, co-op game Vermintide 2's imperious witch hunter, is the next member of the Ubersreik Five to get a new career. The latest Vermintide 2 DLC is out now, and adds the Warrior Priest career for Saltzpyre, replacing his trademark brace of pistols with a lot of big-ass hammers.

"Warrior priests have been a central part of Warhammer for a very long time, and who would do it better than our own Sigmarite, Victor Saltzpyre," developer Fatshark says. "The Warrior Priest of Sigmar is probably the most requested career there is, and for good reason."

As with Markus Kruber's Grail Knight career and Bardin Goreksson's Slayer career, Saltzpyre's new Sigmarite warrior priest role skips ranged combat entirely, trading in his pistols for a mighty silver Skull-Splitter Hammer. And when one hammer isn't enough, Warrior Priest Saltzpyre can bring two of them. He has other options, of course: he can also carry a shield or a blessed tome in his off hand, or he can opt for the two-handed Reckoner Great Hammer.

     Sonic Frontiers goes open-world

Sonic the Hedgehog is back in Sonic Frontiers. Well, maybe he never really left, but the next mainline game in the Sonic series has been unveiled at The Game Awards. As the rumours suggested, it looks like this is going to be a grand-scale on the series with a full open world, officially due to launch in holiday 2022 on PC (via Steam) and consoles.

The next big Sonic game was previously announced in a brief teaser trailer earlier this year, pointing toward a 2022 release across PC and consoles. An early press release referred to the game as 'Sonic Rangers', while more recent domain registrations suggested a 'Sonic Frontiers' title. Players claiming to have been focus testers suggested it would be an open-world game with Ubisoft-style towers.

The Game Awards is an annual extravaganza hosted by veteran presenter and game journalist Geoff Keighley. In theory, it's an award show highlighting the best of the past year's games, but the show generates its biggest excitement with an array of announcements for new games from developers both big and small.

     PUBG is going free to play next month

The battle royale game formerly known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will go free to play January 12. The move has been rumoured for a while, and publisher Krafton confirmed at The Game Awards that PUBG: Battlegrounds will indeed join the ranks of free-to-play battle royales.

PUBG: Battlegrounds ran a free week earlier this year in partnership with Kpop group Blackpink, and rumours at the time suggested the move was a trial for the developers to measure the impact the move to a free-to-play business model might have on the constantly evolving battle royale. Those seem to have been correct, as tonight's Game Awards reveal confirms.

Krafton provided a couple quick factoids about PUBG during the reveal as well, such as the fact that players have spent a combined total of more than 14 billion hours in PUBG since it launched five years ago. In the past couple months, we've seen Baby Shark and mountain bikes make their way into the game.

     Nightingale is a

Inflexion, the newly-renamed studio headed up by former BioWare GM Aaryn Flynn, has revealed its first game: Nightingale. The devs bill it as a "shared-world survival crafting game set within a rich Victorian gaslamp fantasy setting" and, alongside the debut trailer, have revealed that it's due to hit early access in 2022.

Nightingale sets you exploring a variety of biomes, including forests, swamps, and deserts, as you restore portals to move ever more deeply into the Fae realms. You can play alone or find a group to help you build the farms and estates you'll need to survive in a world filled with both magic and magical monstrosities.

"From the beginning, we knew we wanted to build an intricate fantasy setting as rich and full of history and life as anything we've worked on in the past," Inflexion CEO Aaryn Flynn says in a press release. "The realms of Nightingale are vast and have many secrets to uncover, and we cannot wait for players to start discovering them."

     Final Fantasy VII Remake comes to PC via Epic in one week

Final Fantasy VII Remake is officially coming to PC via the Epic Games Store. The long-awaited PC port was announced at The Game Awards, and will launch on December 16, 2021 - which is one week away, if you're looking to keep track.

This is the Intergrade version of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and judging by the amount of Yuffie in the trailer, we will be getting the full package with the recently-added DLC content. There's no word on when or if this'll come to other PC platforms, but given the Epic logos all over the announcement trailer (and the exclusive launch of Kingdom Hearts earlier this year) it's safe to expect an exclusivity period here.

The Game Awards is an annual extravaganza hosted by veteran presenter and game journalist Geoff Keighley. In theory, it's an award show highlighting the best of the past year's games, but the show generates its biggest excitement with an array of announcements for new games from developers both big and small.

     Wonder Woman is in the works from the Shadow of Mordor devs

The creators of the Shadow of Mordor series are working on a Wonder Woman game with publisher Warner Bros Games, and a brief teaser debuted at The Game Awards that provided a first look at Diana. The short video revealed little else, but odds are pretty good it'll be a character action game in the vein of Monolith Productions' Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War.

As Wonder Woman's in-game look is revealed in the CG teaser, the voiceover implores players to "restore what is broken." Her signature lasso makes an appearance at the end, and the voice tells us, "you can be a leader."

Without any gameplay to go on, anything else we might write about Wonder Woman is speculative. However, the exhortation to "be a leader" suggests we may see something along the lines of Shadow of War's signature Nemesis System, which was rumoured to have been originally developed for a cancelled Batman game, but eventually adapted for the Uruks in Shadow of Mordor.

     Alan Wake 2 is real, and Remedy's

Alan Wake 2 has been the subject of plenty of rumours and speculation over the years, and today it was made official. Remedy officially announced Alan Wake 2 during The Game Awards. A brief teaser trailer confirmed that the new game will launch in 2023. Remedy says this will be their "first survival horror game". More info is coming next year.

Early this year, industry insider Jeff Grubb reported that the companies were working together on Alan Wake 2, suggesting that Epic was moving to a new model for securing exclusives to its store. If Epic helps fund or publish a game that might not otherwise exist, players might be more willing to accept its exclusivity - at least, in theory.

Shortly after, Epic and Remedy confirmed that they would be working together on a then-unnamed triple-A project. Remedy revealed in August that this game was entering "full production" - so if it just started proper development earlier this year, we've probably got a long wait ahead before we actually get to play this one.

     Diablo-like fantasy MMO Lost Ark launches in February 2022

Back in September, Smilegate RPG and Amazon Games decided to delay the launch of Lost Ark, giving a vague new release window of sometime in "early 2022". Now, the devs behind the upcoming fantasy MMOARPG - that's a massively multiplayer role-player with some extra 'action' thrown in - have unveiled the Lost Ark release date at tonight's Game Awards show - well, release dates, as those who order a particular version will get to jump in a few days early.

Amazon and Smilegate have announced that the Lost Ark release date is February 11, 2022 on PC via Steam. For those who purchase a Founder's Pack on Amazon.com or Steam, the dive-in date will instead come on February 8, giving them a three-day head start. There are four different kinds of Founder's Packs available, which range from the cheapest, Bronze ($14.99 / £13.20), to Platinum, which will set you back $99.99 / £87.99 on Steam.

In case the name is unfamiliar to you, Lost Ark is a fantasy MMO that will appeal to WoW and Diablo fans alike, which has already been a big success in countries like Korea, Japan, and Russia. Amazon Games is helping to bring it to many more markets, publishing it in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania.

     Star Wars: Eclipse is officially the Detroit: Become Human devs' next game

December 10, 2021 Star Wars: Eclipse was officially announced at The Game Awards.

It's real - Star Wars: Eclipse, the next game from the Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain devs at Quantic Dream, was officially announced with a trailer at The Game Awards. It doesn't show much, but it does give a taste of the setting for the game.

The trailer features some classic Star Wars settings - a set of planets ringed by an asteroid field. We move into a grand city with classical architecture, then a set of markets with more of an underworld vibe. From there, we've got a load of settings spread across the galaxy. One shot appears to be at the Jedi temple with Yoda, so it looks like we'll be around the High Republic era.

The Game Awards is an annual extravaganza hosted by veteran presenter and game journalist Geoff Keighley.

     Hellblade 2 re-emerges with gameplay footage

The long-anticipated sequel to Hellblade has re-emerged at The Game Awards. Developer Ninja Theory and publisher Microsoft unveiled a new look at the game at Geoff Keighley's show, and it's looking just as visually impressive as you might expect.

The trailer opens on Senua and a group of warriors entering a beachside cave with a giant monster - in the form of a massive humanlike body. The group covers the giant with oil and sets it alight with flaming spears, but it doesn't go well, leaving Senua to fight while retreating. You can see the trailer for yourself down below.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II officially debuted at The Game Awards 2019 - yes, two years ago - alongside a first look at Microsoft's Xbox Series X. The brief teaser trailer didn't show much beyond some impressive visuals said to be rendered in-engine, but that was plenty to draw the excitement of Hellblade fans, though they've had a long wait for further information.

     The Expanse: A Telltale Series is on the way

Announced at The Game Awards, the reformed Telltale Games has announced The Expanse: A Telltale Series, based on the TV series. The game will be co-developed by Life is Strange: True Colors studio Deck Nine.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series will be a prequel to the TV series, featuring Camina Drummer as the main character. As Game Informer notes, the project is still in the early stages of production, so it'll likely be some time before we see more. It will be coming to PC and consoles alike. (Here's hoping Wolf Among Us 2 lands sometime before then.)

The Game Awards is an annual extravaganza hosted by veteran presenter and game journalist Geoff Keighley.

     Homeworld 3 reveals first gameplay trailer, and will launch late next year

Homeworld 3 debuted a new trailer during The Game Awards, showing some atmospheric shots and setting up the story, and revealing the space-based RTS game will launch late 2022.

Homeworld 3 first showed up as a crowdfunding campaign on Fig in 2019, although publisher Gearbox set its goal at a rather symbolic $1. The campaign wrapped up having pulled in more than $1 million, however, and headed into pre-production. Since then, we've heard precious little about it.

Developer Blackbird Interactive is finally ready to start talking about Homeworld 3, it seems. Tonight's new trailer shows some establishing shots of the deserts of Kharak and the massive fabricator mothership, with hints at some new ideas like ship combat over the surface of a massive super space station. "Homeworld 3's campaign is set in a galaxy that has enjoyed an age of abundance thanks to the Hyperspace Gate Network, with the cycles of peace and war having come and gone," developer Blackbird Interactive says. "The gates themselves are now catastrophically failing and Karan, who has passed into myth and religious idolatry, is the key to the mystery threatening the entire galaxy's future."

     The Game Awards start time – here's how to watch TGA 2021

The nominees are in, and it's nearly time to split your attention between the best games of 2021 and the brightest lights of the upcoming release slate - yes, it's once again the season of The Game Awards. Geoff Keighley's annual extravaganza returns this week in a primetime spot for North American viewers, but it might be a bit less convenient if you're watching elsewhere in the world.

The Game Awards show will broadcast on Thursday, December 9. A brief pre-show will begin at 4:30pm PST / 7:30pm EST, with the main show following at 5:00pm PST / 8pm EST. If you're on the other side of the date line, that puts the start time at 12:30am GMT on December 10 for the pre-show, and 1am GMT for the main show.

The show will be broadcast across multiple services, but if you want the highest quality, you'll need the YouTube stream, which will air in 4K. The stream will also be available on Twitch and Twitter.

Forspoken, a game whose name I will never pronounce correctly but was once known as Project Athia, finally has a concrete release date. Announced tonight at The Game Awards, Square Enix's big action RPG adventure will be hitting PC on May 24th 2022. I guess that technically still counts as 'spring' and therefore doesn't constitute a delay on its previous launch window, but it sure is a lot closer to summer than I was expecting. In any case, there's a shiny new trailer with some very hammy villains to enjoy at the same time.

Honestly, I've no interest in Wonder Woman. Warner Bros announcing an open-world Wonder Woman game at The Game Awards tonight meant nothing to me at first. My interest was piqued when I saw it's being made by Monolith, the studio behind F.E.A.R. and the Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor series. Then I saw OH WAIT it's using that wonderful patented Nemesis System which breathes personality and history into enemies? I'm in. Fully. Let's go.

     Suicide Squad Gameplay RevealIt feels like it's been forever since we've seen any gameplay from Rocksteady, which hasn't released anything since 2015's Arkham Knight. It was announced a while back that the studio was making a Suicide Squad game, but we didn't have much idea of what the game would look like when it finally showed up. Now we must wonder no longer as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League received its first gameplay trailer during tonight's The Game Awards. It's quite a treat to behold the fruits of Rocksteady's labor after all this time, as we've been looking forward to this one. The trailer kicks off with some cinematics showing the characters in action. Characters include Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Deadshot as they run on a rooftop and tangle with The Flash. Before long, we get to see the actual gameplay, such as Captain Boomerang whizzing through the air before sliding on the ground and firing rounds at enemies. Suicid...
