When Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 launched earlier this year everyone was already saying this game was going to clean up at the Game Awards and we a lock for winning game of the year. That couldn't have been more true as Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 absolutely cleaned house at the Game Awards winning a whopping nine awards out of the twelve it was nominated for including Game of the Year.
But that's not all, as the team was giving their acceptance speech they just casually announced that a new update for Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is available right now. Called the "Thank You Update" the update includes new costumes, a new area to explore, a new late game boss, photo mode and more.
Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 was not just my personal game of the year for 2025, it may very well be my game of the decade so far. I honestly can't remember the last time I played a game where I was invested in the story, the world, the gameplay, the characters right from the get go. I absolutely adore this game and hope we see more from this series in the future.
Much like Tomb Raider making its triumphant return with announcements of a new game at the Game Awards, another long running series announces a new game in the long running series tonight with Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve being announced tonight and it looks amazing.

After years of waiting, Lara Croft has finally returned in not one but two games revealed at the Game Awards.

We got our first look at the new Street Fighter movie coming out in 2026 at the Game Awards tonight and I cannot stop laughing. This looks so bad that it's going to be amazing. You know what, I give them credit. The characters all look game accurate, which is more than I can say about the recent Mortal Kombat movies, and games for that matter really.
This movie has an absolutely stacked cast including Jason Mamoa, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, 50 Cent, Eric Andre, Mel Jarnson and many more.
Street Fighter hits movie theaters in 2026.
No matter how hard Capcom tried to keep the wraps on this one, this may have been the worst kept secret in gaming as we got a brand new trailer for Resident Evil: Requiem at the game awards and with it, the reveal that long time series protagonist Leon Kennedy is making his return. At least it's not Chris Redfield again.
Resident Evil: Requiem launches on February 27th 2026 for PS5, Series X and PC.

The best part is that a playable demo of the game will be released soon.
Listen, I love THE FINALS. I don’t hide it, and I couldn’t even if I wanted to. It’s the first game from Embark Studios, whom you may know as the developer of the meteoric success called Arc Raiders. But before they were making one of the best extraction shooters ever made, they cut their teeth making one of the best first-person competitive shooters ever made, and now they’ve launched the ninth season of post-launch content for it.
Dubbed “Dragon Rising”, the new season debuts a new China-inspired arena, a new attack-and-defend 8v8 game mode called Point Break, a revamped seasonal structure alongside World Tour 2.0, a more flexible sponsor system, an improved Battle Pass, balancing updates, and quality of life improvements.
THE FINALS is completely free-to-play, or you can splurge for the premium battle pass tiers if you like. I typically buy the base battle pass just to show my support for this wonderful game in hopes that it will continue its run for years to come.
Even if you don’t agree with my hot take that it’s one of the G.O.A.T.s, then perhaps you’ll agree that Embark never fails to make a killer trailer:
