2023's The Game Awards just wrapped. Did you watch it? Well, no worries if you missed it (or had something better to do) as we’ve rounded up every major game trailer and world premiere you could want to watch in a single sitting. So if you’re looking to check out a new trailer or catch up on all the games that were announced this year, you’re in the right place.
Let’s mosey!
Exodus
Actor Matthew McConaughey took to the stage to show off sci-fi game Exodus from Archetype Entertainment. It’s a battle between humanity and a hostile alien force, and relativistic time travel will play a central role in the narrative.
God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla
Hope you’re in the mood for more Kratos, because a new expansion featuring Kratos (and maybe only Kratos this time?) is headed to PS5 on December 12, 2023. Yes, that’s literally in a few days. Oh, also, it’s free.
Big Walk
The makers of Untitled Goose Game have a new, cooperative game on the way. Titled Big Walk, it looks to feature a large world, adorable characters, and tons of fun activities and puzzles to engage with.
Persona 3 Reload
Persona 3 Reload got a new trailer as well during tonight’s event. That’s definitely Persona 3, and arguably reloaded.
Windblown
The creators of the popular Dead Cells revealed Windblown, a new multiplayer co-op dungeon game sporting an absolutely delightful furry aesthetic crossed with worrying amount of bloody ultraviolence. It has charm, and gore, to spare.
World of Goo 2
Yes, it’s really been 15 years since early indie hit World of Goo had us building precarious bridges out of snot. About time for a sequel, yeah? Past time, even.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Another popular indie revival is coming in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a remake of the heart-wrenching 2013 adventure from Starbreeze. This should be a nice way to expose this touching tale to a new generation.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
After a wonderful performance from neo-pagan acoustic band Heilung, we got a vivid look at the next Hellblade game. And yes, it looks as intense, bloody, and hypnotic as the first. Hellblade II is expected in 2024 on Xbox and PC.
Kemuri
Ikumi Nakamura, who famously worked on The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo. showed off studio Unseen’s upcoming game, Kemuri. It’s nothing if not stylish!
No Rest for the Wicked
From the folks who made the Ori games, No Rest for the Wicked got a quick first trailer at tonight’s Game Awards, showing off a dark fantasy setting. Very different from Ori! More information is expected from a streaming event on March 1, 2024.
Sega’s ‘New Era’ of sequels to classics
With a quick trailer, Sega showed off a brief look at it “new era” with five revamps of all-time classics: Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage.
Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Zero
Goku and pals are once again ready for another game with Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Zero. Other characters I spotted in the trailer include mainstays Freeza and Vegeta.Se
The Casting of Frank Stone
From the folks who made Dead by Daylight, a new horror experience titled The Casting of Frank Stone is expected in 2024. The mostly cinematic trailer showed off some environments I certainly wouldn’t want to be trapped in.
Visions of Mana
Square Enix is set to return to its beloved Mana series in 2024, showing off a gorgeous new trailer. Hopefully this’ll be one of the good chapters.
Rise of the Ronin
Team Ninja is bringing a new samurai experience to PlayStation next year. Rise of the Ronin is expected in 2024, featuring what looks like a narrative-focused, bloody experience. That tracks.
OD
Hideo Kojima took to the stage to finally reveal his previously announced horror game OD. With an intense trailer featuring actors Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schaffer, and Udo Kier, it looks as weird as you’d expect itto be.
Oh, and then Jordan Peele appeared to reveal that he’ll be working with Kojima on the game. Apparently that’s not all. Kojima said that he’s put together a remarkable team of other talents they’re not ready to reveal the identities of just yet. So strap in, folks, this one looks like it’ll be a wild ride.
Jurassic Park: Survival
Hope you’re in the mood for a new Jurassic Park game. We got a quick look at Jurassic Park: Survival. Featuring scenes that look straight out of the original film, it seems like the game will take place not too long after the events of the first movie and will be in first-person.
Black Myth: Wukong
Inspired by Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong got a trailer sporting some intense characters, and the promise of a story about suffering and goodness in the world. The creature designs are absolutely grody, and the game is due on August 20, 2024.
Suicide Squad
Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad got a brief trailer showing off some well-known DC characters and some fast-paced open-world gameplay. Please let it be good?
Warframe:Whispers in the Walls
Warframe is getting a new expansion. Launching on December 13, 2023, the latest chapter in this ongoing free-to-play game sure looks as cryptic as Warframe has ever been. The game’s a decade old and still going strong.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
We got a brief look at Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, which is now expected to arrive on February 13, 2024. It looks pretty emotional between all the spooky action sequences.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau
Gorgeous side-scroller Tales of Kenzera: Zau is expected to launch on April 23, 2024. If it plays even half as good as it looks, this one sure looks like it’ll be a real treat.
Lost Records: Bloom and Rage
From the folks who brought us Life is Strange, Lost Records Bloom & Rage gives massive It vibes with a dash of garage band life.
The First Berserker: Khazan
Featuring visuals that look part 3D, part hand-drawn animation, The First Berserker looks to feature some pretty intense battles with epic-looking bosses.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Performance and Trailer
Tonight we got a new look at Final Fantasy VII Rebirth via a live performance of the game’s theme song. Footage shown during the performance even included a look at Cid’s new design for the remake project. Looks kinda young, in our opinion.
Skull and Bones
Hey, we have a release date for Skull and Bones! A trailer showing off some piracy shenanigans revealed that Ubisoft’s dev-hell cautionary tale is expected to finally arrive on February 16, 2024.
Marvel Blade
A surprise for sure, Dishonored makers Arkane took to the stage tonight to show off a trailer for its upcoming take on Marvel’s Blade universe.

Lightspeed LA gave the world a first look at its sci-fi thriller Last Sentinel. Set in a large Blade Runner-esque open world, the game is seemingly set to feature a female lead who engages in some intense shootouts.
The First Descendent
Hope you like imaginative science fiction, because tonight’s awards were full of it. The First Descendent is expected in summer of 2024 and features some pretty sci-fi visuals.
Zenless Zone Zero
The latest game from red-hot mobile studio HoYoverse, Zenless Zone Zero features a lovely alliterative name and some intense-looking anime-styled action.
Mecha Break
This mech game has some heavy Armored Core and Gundam vibes. Featuring an enormous scale, there’s some pretty sweet mech battles on display in this trailer.
GTFO: The Final Chapter
First shown off at The Game Awards back in 2017, tonight we got a fresh look at GTFO’s gritty first-person action. What does the name mean? 🤔
Den of Wolves
Den of Wolves from 10 Chambers premiered with a brutal cinematic trailer. While there was no gameplay, Den of Wolves certainly looks set to brood.
Exoborne
An open-world extraction shooter (that’s got my attention), Exoborne arrives in 2024.
Asgard’s Wrath 2
Matt Mercer hit the stage to show off the latest trailer for Asgard’s Wrath 2, Meta’s big fantasy VR game. It comes free with the Meta Quest 3 headset.

Light No Fire
Hello Games’ Sean Murray took to the stage to show off the studio’s next ambitious game. Promising a scale that covers an entire planet, what Murray described as a true open “world,” Light No Fire’s first trailer revealed its planet, featuring a colossal, almost incomprehensible scale. Oh and it looks like you can ride dragons.
Stormgate
Tonight we saw some beta footage for RTS Stormgate, expected to launch via Early Access on Steam next year. Some classic Starcraft talent is involved.
Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen + The Rising Tide
It’s time to head back to the world of Final Fantasy XVI with the expansions Echoes of the Fallen and Rising Tide. Echoes of the Fallen is out now on PS5, featuring new events before the main quest’s final fight. The Rising Tide is due in spring 2024.
