Want to learn more about the Street Fighter 6 release date? After a successful closed beta period back in October, the fighting game community cannot wait to get their hands on the full game. Street Fighter 5 was heavily criticised at launch for its lack of playable content outside of Versus mode and while this satisfied most high-level players, casual players found there was very little to keep them entertained.

Capcom has taken its time developing Street Fighter 6 to ensure they don't repeat the same mistakes again. It features a brand new single-player story mode which gives players a chance to explore Metro City as a custom fighter. The Street Fighter 6 release date isn't set to launch until next year at the earliest, but it's clear the game is in a good place at this point in development.

For us folks on PC, tonight's Game Awards trailer confirmed in tiny small print that Square Enix's next JRPG epic won't be landing on "other platforms" until December 31st 2023 at the earliest. So, unless Squeenix are going to deliver us a belated Christmas New Year special next year, I think it's safe to assume that FF16's PC release won't be available to summon until 2024.

It's been a full year since ex-BioWare boss Aaryn Flynn and his new studio Inflexion announced Nightingale at The Game Awards. In case you've forgotten, Nightingale is a PvE crafting survival game with a strong Victoriana vibe, but since our chat with them back at Summer Games Fest in June, and an early access delay into the first half of 2023 to accommodate the switch to Unreal Engine 5, we haven't heard too much about the game.

I got to natter with Flynn, director of production Leah Summers, and art director Neil Thompson earlier this week, ahead of the debut of a new trailer for Nightingale at The Game Awards this evening. They filled me in on how the game's blend of fairies and reality-hopping realmwalkers has progressed over the past year - and it turns out that players have had a lot to do with it.

armored core vi

A world premiere trailer of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon appeared during The Game Awards 2022. FromSoftware is still the development team, and Bandai Namco will be the publisher. There is no CERO rating yet. This is the newest numbered title in the Armored Core series since Armored Core V launched in 2012.

You can watch the trailer for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRyRv0bwH2o

The trailer starts with a few shots of a wasteland before an Armored Core rises from the rubble. There are several scenes of them fighting each other or bombarding buildings. According to the description, you will be able to assemble your own original mecha and freely traverse three-dimensional maps. You will also be able to perform dynamic moves in action, between shooting from a distance or attacking from close range.

The Armored Core series is a third-person shooter in which the player takes control of large combat robots called Armored Cores. You can fight against other pilots and obtain awards that way. It first began in 1997, with the first Armored Core appearing on the PlayStation. In 2018, FromSoftware hinted that it would be developing a new entry to the series, though there was no concrete information until now.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will come out on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam some time in 2023.

TGA 2022: FFXVI

Ahead of TGA 2022, it was confirmed Final Fantasy XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida would attend. This lead to suspicion news about the game would appear. That turned out to be correct. At the event, the FFXVI release date appeared alongside a new Revenge trailer. People can find it on the PS5 on June 22, 2023.

Here is the TGA 2022 FFXVI release date trailer.

Even before TGA 2022, plenty of FFXVI news came up. For example, we learned the game would be exclusive to the PS5 for six months after launch. Yoshida also confirmed a demo would appear ahead of the game's debut. Creative Director Kazutoyo Maehiro confirmed people won't need to hunt for any hidden Eikon summons.

The Final Fantasy XVI release date is June 22, 2023. It will come to the PS5 first. After that exclusivity period expires, people could see it on other platforms. The same happened to FFVII Remake, which featured a PS4 exclusivity arrangement before eventually heading to the PS5 and PC.

Baldur's Gate 3 release date

After more than two years of Early Access testing, Baldur's Gate 3 will finally get a full version release date. The 2022 Game Awards saw developer Larian Studios announce that the game will exit the Early Access period in August 2023.

Check out the latest Baldur's Gate 3 trailer below, which shows the release date window.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOWGnC3h9WQ

The newest trailer focuses on the story, where the player's character is infected with a "Mind Flayer tadpole," a parasite used by the Illithid, an extradimensional race of squid-faced predators. The player travels to and from Baldur's Gate, the legendary city of the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms setting, encountering allies and enemies. Characters from previous Baldur's Gate titles like Jaheira and Minsc also appear.

Baldur's Gate 3 first entered Early Access in 2020. The first two games, released in 1998 and 2000, were developed by BioWare and Black Isle Studios. Overhaul Games rereleased the series in 2012 and 2013 as Enhanced Editions, featuring new content, characters, and user interfaces. The Enhanced Edition even got an entirely new expansion, Siege of Dragonspear. BG3 was developed by Larian Studios, developers of the Divinity series. Its mechanics take partial inspiration from the Divinity: Original Sin titles by adding more cooperative multiplayer elements and a fully turn-based combat system derived from the 5th Edition D&D rules (rather than the original games' "real-time with pause" mechanics).

Baldur's Gate 3 is available on PC via Steam Early Access, and its release date will fall in August 2023. The official website includes a Collector's Edition physical bundle that includes a statue, art book, cloth map, character sheets, a custom metal D20 dice, and Magic: The Gathering booster pack. Check out Siliconera's preview from its first days in Early Access.

Tekken 8 Trailer

After being teased (and later confirmed by Director Katsuhiro Harada) for The Game Awards 2022, Tekken news appeared. There was a new Tekken 8 trailer, which showed off several new gameplay features and its story. Many returning characters made appearances in it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXTWVncFP4

The gameplay of Tekken 8 will focus on "Aggressive" tactics, including attacks that shake the screen and destructible environments. The game will also have an all-new "Heat System" mechanic, which activates attacks with special moves and gives characters ability enhancements. In terms of story, Tekken 8 will be a continuation of the grudge matches between the Mishima and Kazama bloodlines. It will pick up where Tekken 7 left off.

Several fan-favorite characters were shown in the new trailer. Kazuya Mishima, Jin Kazama, Paul Phoenix, King, Marshall Law, Lars Alexandersson, and Jack-8 will all be present in the game. Additionally, Jun Kazama, Jin's mother, will return after a long absence from the series.

The upcoming entry in the hit fighting game series was likely first teased back in August 2022. Its actual reveal came about a month later as part of a PlayStation State of Play event, in the form of a nearly two-minute-long trailer.

Tekken 8 will release for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. A release date has not yet been announced.

horizon forbidden west burning shores Expansion DLC PS5

During The Game Awards 2022, a world premiere trailer for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores appeared. It is set in an apocalyptic version of Los Angeles, with a burning Hollywood sign visible. This game is an DLC expansion for Horizon Forbidden West, which is the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.

You can watch the trailer for Horizon Forbidden West; Burning Shores here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShJuY6Zl2Aw

Aloy will continue to be the controllable protagonist. Los Angeles appears to be a hostile and untamed forest to explore. You can either traverse it via water, or use the Sunwing to fly arond. The expansion will continue from the ending of Horizon Forbidden West. Aside from a new story, there will be new characters to meet. More information and details on the expansion set will appear in the near future.

According to the development team, this game will be exclusive to the PS5. This is so that the team can focus its efforts on bringing its "grand technical and creative vision" to life. PlayStation 4 players will not be able to play the expansion unless they upgrade to a next-gen console.

Burning Shores is in development, and the DLC expansion will come out for Horizon Forbidden West on April 19, 2023 for the PS5. Horizon Forbidden West is readily available for the PS4 and PS5.

TGA 2022: Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer Shows Tons of Toads

A new Super Mario Bros Movie trailer appeared at The Game Awards 2022, and it showed Toad leading Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom. The goal is to reach Peach's castle. In the process, they run into lots of other Toads and Super Mario series level staples.

Here's the video. This Super Mario Bros Movie trailer begins with Toad and Mario in a crowded marketplace. In order to help people get out of the way and make room, Toad yells that Mario's brother, Luigi, is going to die. In the second trailer, we saw Luigi being confronted by Bowser. Mario follows Toad through the kingdom, walking along floating blocks and heading through warp pipes. The clip ends with the two reaching Peach's castle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlLFRwaX1rM&ab_channel=thegameawards

In case you missed it, the first video set the stage for what's going on. It introduced Bowser and briefly showed Mario and Toad. The second trailer focused on other characters. Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, and Luigi all came up. It also showcased a Mario Kart segment.

The Super Mario Bros Movie will appear in theaters in the US on April 7, 2023. It will make its Japanese debut on April 28, 2023. The Japanese cast ended up being revealed not long after the second trailer's debut.

Earthblade Celeste Developer New Game

Extremely OK Games (EXOK), developer of Celeste, have a new game in the works, due out in 2024. It's called Earthblade. It appears to take a more fantastical angle compared to Celeste. The game appeared in its first trailer at The Game Awards 2022.

Check it out below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wafFds3Ppb0

The trailer shows Névoa, a young horned character waking up from slumber to meet a mysterious bard. The bard notices that Névoa "travels Fate", as well. The camera pans to reveal a detailed and atmospheric world, the ruins of an Earth long expired. The camera follows Névoa as they traverse the ruins and defeat various enemies. Névoa's also shown consuming some of the creatures they fight, perhaps for upgrades or health. The trailer fades to the Earthblade logo when the player arrives at a wooden frame that manifests some kind of reflection leading elsewhere. Players will travel the ruins of Earth in a quest to reassemble the lost history of the world.

Besides the new game Earthblade and Celeste, EXOK Games also developed Towerfall, a multiplayer platform-action game. Celeste received critical acclaim, and was highlighted for accessibility features like an "Assist Mode" that allowed players to adjust game mechanics to their liking. Celeste won the Audience Award at the Independent Game Festival Awards, Action Game of the Year at the 22nd DICE Awards, and became a staple attraction at speedrunning events like Games Done Quick.

Earthblade is in development for PC with a 2024 release window.

Death Stranding 2

The 2022 Game Awards showed the official unveiling of unveiled Death Stranding 2, a follow-up to 2019's Death Stranding. Though not officially confirmed, actor and Death Stranding star Norman Reedus let slip that it was in production. The new trailer heavily features Fragile, played by actor Léa Seydoux.

Check out the trailer below, which stresses that Death Stranding 2 is a working title. This could mean it'll have a different title closer to release.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr2yB93pIGw

In the trailer, Fragile is shown playing with a baby, while the lullaby song sung by Cliff to Lou from Death Stranding plays in the background. Some emergency strikes, and Fragile escapes from her bunker with the baby. Mads Mikkelsen's voice as Cliff follows them. Later, Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges emerges into the light onboard Fragile's ship. Sam's hair has turned completely white, possibly from exposure to the "Timefall" rain that ages a person. Fragile invites Sam to join her crew, as a large carrier-like vessel emerges from the sea in front of a series of white cliffs. The trailer closes out with a sinister-looking group of masked people with Oradek scanners plays a rock remix of the lullaby theme. Other imagery from the trailer include a BB container containing what looks to be a BT, and a tentacled creature appearing in the place of Lou's BB container.

Additionally, Kojima teased images and other hints about the game over the last several months. The most recent tease came less than 24 hours before the show proper, a tweet showing the silhouettes of three actors behind the text "How Come?" Actor Elle Fanning was previously confirmed to be involved with the project.

https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1600596136632279040

Death Stranding 2 is in development. The trailer did not specify the game's target platforms or release window. The original Death Stranding released exclusively for the PS4, and was then ported to PC later on. The Death Stranding Director's Cut upgrade was also released for the PS5 and PC, adding new side content.

forspoken demo

There will be a demo for Forspoken available for the PS5 and Windows PC. A trailer for it appeared during TGA 2022, showing off some gameplay and scenes. It will take up 30 GB of storage space. You will be able to play five different objectives in the demo. Outside of that, you can use the demo time to explore the magical parkour Frey is capable of.

You can watch the trailer for the demo here:

https://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1601034456013291521

News of the Forspoken demo appeared online even prior to the TGA 2022 stream. Some people noticed that information about it had appeared on the PSN store earlier on December 8, 2022. However, it was not until TGA 2022 that we got to see a trailer for it.

The game was supposed to come out in May 2022, and then a delay pushed it to October 2022. However, there was another delay that caused the game to come out in early January 2023 instead. Previously, trailers and marketing for Forspoken showed off the magical parkour you can use to traverse the world. It is one of the game's main selling points. In October 2022, an entire trailer around it came out, showing off exploration skills you can use to get around Athia.

Forspoken will come out on January 24, 2023 for the PS5 and Windows PC. The Forspoken demo will go live later tonight on December 8, 2022. However, it will only be available for the PlayStation 5, it seems.

the last of us part 1 pc release date

During TGA 2022, Naughty Dog announced that The Last of Us Part 1 release date for the PC version. It will show up on Windows PCs from March 3, 2023. This is the enhanced remake version of the game. The PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 1came out in September 2022.

https://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1601031422415806464

We knew for a while that Naughty Dog was developing a PC port of the game. However, it was only on December 8 that we found out the concrete date. The Last of Us Part 1 has quite a few improvements over the original game. For one thing, there are way more accessibility options (to the point that this is one of the games on TGA's Innovation in Accessibility nominee list). Examples of accessibility options include audio descriptions in cutscenes, as well as haptic feedback for dialogue.

Other improvements from the original 2013 release include enhanced combat and exploration. The story, however, remains the same. During TGA 2022, the cast of the live-action adaptation of The Last of Us was present as well. The show will debut on January 15, 2023. It will be available via HBO.

The Last of Us Part 1 is readily available on the PS5, and the Windows PC release date is March 3, 2023. You can read our review of the PS5 version here.

Yaoyao Briefly Appears in Genshin Impact TGA 2022 Ad

During The Game Awards 2022, a Genshin Impact commercial offered our first official in-game look at Yaoyao. The character first came up during early announcements and art, but didn't appear in the game proper. This is due to her apparently being a Dendro character, and the element not being in the game at launch. However, at the end of the latest commercial she makes a brief cameo.

This is the full ad that appeared at the event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BSYycuH-q8&t=1s&ab_channel=GenshinImpact

Here is an isolated video clip, which was captured and shared by HDRsaputra on YouTube. At the 1:23 minute mark, Yaoyao makes her Genshin Impact debut. She's in Liyue and appears to be at the docks near some of the ships. She apparently sees somebody coming to shore, then runs off excitedly. It doesn't confirm her element or weapon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aUStL8siVs&ab_channel=HDRsaputra

A few Genshin Impact characters mention Yaoyao in their voice lines. For example, Beidou notes that she likes to come onboard her The Crux ships. Ganyu mentioned even she tries to keep an eye on her. Ningguang talks about her love for seafood. She also is strongly connected to Xiangling, as she was learning from the Wanmin chef.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The current new characters are the five-star Wanderer (Scaramouche) and four-star Faruzan.

     Armored Core Vi AnnouncedI thought the day might never come. FromSoftware has been thoroughly ensconced within the flames of the Souls series (and related titles) for so long, that it seemed like the venerable studio had forgotten about its past bread and butter. But the mechs are back in action, as Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has been announced, putting an end to the questions hanging over our heads from the months of rumors and speculation. While we don't know if reports that the game is a bit of a Souls-like carry any water, at least we know that we'll be tearing mechs to pieces regardless. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon was announced at this year's The Game Awards alongside a trailer that gives us some idea of what to expect. There's no gameplay, but we do see the remnants of a world in chaos and the Cores that rule the day amongst the ashes. This look at the series is darker and grittier than in past entries, which adds some credence to the aforementioned rumors. But I...
