Last night held the prestigious Game Awards. As expected, both Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok went home with almost every major award. However, besides the dominance of those two games, the event also introduced an army of new trailers for upcoming games. While you can read our reviews on Elden Ring and Ragnarok here, it’s time to spotlight what’s coming next for gamers.
Judas
It’s been a while since the last Bioshock game. No surprise there since Irrational Games lost a lot of its staff after Bioshock Infinite. Now, under the newly rebranded Ghost Story Games, creator Ken Levine is back with a new title, Judas. Though it’s not a Bioshock game (on paper, at least), the upcoming title looks like it shares in the same DNA that made the acclaimed series popular.
Death Stranding 2
We’d love to say more about Death Stranding 2, but talking about the series is difficult. Needless to say, Death Stranding is an experience for every game, and it’s getting a sequel. Hideo Kojima, Norman Reedus, and Lea Seydoux are back in the upcoming sequel.
Hades 2
Here’s another sequel. Back in 2020, Supergiant Games unleashed the critically acclaimed roguelike called Hades. The popular title had players throwing themselves endlessly at a harsh underworld in hopes of escaping Hell. Hades 2 continues the story of the original game but features Zagreus’s sister in an attempt to rescue Hades from the clutches of the titan Kronos. (No word on what happened to Zagreus, though.)
Tekken 8
The iconic fighting game is back with its eighth major entry. Though the trailer doesn’t spoil much, Tekken 8 will feature the return of popular characters with updated looks.
Diablo IV
After a long wait, Blizzard returns with a fresh look at the upcoming Diablo IV. Unfortunately, it’s still a cinematic, teasing a grand battle between the forces of the High Heavens and Hell in the latter’s domain. On the bright side, we finally have a launch date: June 6, 2023.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores
The Horizon franchise enjoyed a lot of exposure during The Game Awards. The Sony title bagged a ton of nominations. Now, fans have more to look forward to. Horizon Forbidden West is getting a PS5-exclusive DLC called Burning Shores. The upcoming DLC takes players to a postapocalyptic Los Angeles. It is coming on April 19.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
After announcing it a few months ago, CD Projekt Red offers a better look at the only DLC coming to Cyberpunk 2077. Phantom Liberty brings players back to Night City. However, it features a new character alongside Keanu Reeves’s Johnny Silverhand. Idris Elba will play as Solomon Reed when the DLC comes out sometime next year.
Final Fantasy 16
The popular series is getting its next entry on June 22. As of late, the franchise’s recent titles have really upped the quality for fans. Focusing on revenge, Final Fantasy 16 comes as a PlayStation exclusive.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
Of course, The Game Awards saved the best for last. Right before announcing Elden Ring as the Game of the Year, the event premiered the first trailer for FromSoftware’s next title, a sequel to the Armored Core series. Before the popularity of the Dark Souls series, FromSoftware worked on Armored Core, a mecha franchise. Now, after the widespread acclaim of Elden Ring, the studio can now go back to its roots. The title is coming next year.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia and Sloclap announced the physical release of REMATCH: Elite Edition for PlayStation 5.
The launch brings the online football hit to store shelves for the first time. It follows a strong digital debut over the summer. The Elite Edition ships with the full Season 1 experience. This includes cross-platform play, ranked 3v3 matches, and a full lineup of unlockable bonuses.
A new launch trailer is now available.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMO set in the Horizon universe
The game is built for mobile but will have cross-play gameplay with PC.
A few months ago, Sony sued Tencent for copying design elements from the Horizon series for the latter’s upcoming game, Light of Motiram. Though the game has been relatively silent since the kerfuffle, was Tencent on to something? Today, Sony and a Korean studio named NCSoft have officially announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMO set in the Horizon universe.
It’s not just a simple announcement either. The title now has an official 10-minute video to preview the upcoming title. Right now, the trailer has nothing but cinematics, pre-alpha footage, and developer interviews. However, it’s a clear commitment to bringing the MMO to life.
Both the cinematics and the pre-alpha footage show off the familiar mechanical beasts of the series. The main goal of the title is to team up with other players and take down colossal beasts.
The game is set in the Deathlands, a new region inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Players will have the entire state to play with. And, instead of Aloy, they can create their own personalized characters.
Horizon Steel Frontiers is built for smartphones. However, Sony and NCSoft are working towards cross-platform gameplay for the PC.
Right now, especially since the released footage is from pre-alpha development, we don’t know when the MMO will launch. However, it does look extremely exciting for fans of the original duology.
