The Game Awards 2023 also served to present all kinds of games, independent productions and much more. Those who weren’t excited are simply not fans.
Of course, the most notable thing we can say is that Baldur’s Gate 3 was the title that stole the spotlight by winning several awards, including game of the year in a competition that looked very close between the game of Larian, Alan Wake 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.
The Game Awards 2023 in summary
The best ads from The Game Awards 2023
One of the titles that caught the most attention was Harmoniumwhich was presented in the hour before The Game Awards 2023 and which is a title completely designed for the deaf public.
On the other hand, Atlus released a new trailer for another title that many are waiting for and it is Metaphor: ReFantazio that you can see has all the lineage of the Persona series.
God of War: Ragnarok It also took us by surprise because it has a new DLC which is free. This is the time for you to see if you have the game updated because at the time of writing this article, the content is already available.
Another pleasant surprise we had was the new trailer for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. The best thing about this ad is that it comes with a beautiful trailer and an exit window. We also get to see the expected progress of what will now be Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero – before Budokai Tenkaichi 4 – which surely many fans already wanted to see.
Sega fans were surely very happy to see many new games coming from important series like Jet Set Radio, Golden Ax and other classic franchises that deserved a second chance.
Hideo Kojima’s surprise at The Game Awards 2023
We continue with the summary of The Game Awards 2023 announcements and we must dedicate a good space to OD, its new proposal that is exclusive to Xbox and which has the participation of Jordan Peele.
Other old acquaintances who worked in The Division and now they armed Sharkmob They presented a game called Exoborne which deserves a chance for its deep game mechanics.
Jurassic Park Survival It also turned out to be a very interesting game, especially because its cinematics looked very good, but we are left wondering what its game mechanics will be like. The creators of GTFO also surprised us with another original shooting game called Den of Wolves that also looks very hardcore.
Capcom had said they would have a game that would make them a lot of money in the not-too-distant future. It seems that this title is Monster Hunter Wilds which will be available in 2025. That year it already has at least two games of guaranteed quality.
Square Enix also had important announcements
Although it was not a separate section, we must point out that Square Enix had three important announcements that we should not lose sight of.
The first was Visions of Mana, which is the first game in the series in 15 years and which has a certainly attractive appearance and is very faithful to the franchise. We need to see a little more to have a better judgment on this title that will be released in 2024.
Final Fantasy XVI showed a couple of DLCs during The Game Awards 2023 and one is now available. It’s good to see that Square Enix continues to give a lot of support to a title that is very worthwhile.
No less important was the announcement of the new theme for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which was written by the composer Nobuo Uematsu. They also bring new art that you will want to carry on your cell phone.
