The very first game announced during last night’s The Game Awards was The Free Shepherd, an adventure game where you play as a lone border collie trying to save flocks of lost sheep in a gorgeously stylized world.
Developer Frame Interactive is creating a world inspired by Iceland that combines cinematic exploration with subtle emotional storytelling, and a bit of the fantastical thrown in as well. As players explore the mysterious island setting, they will come to face a calamity that only this lovely (and lonely) border collie can prevent.
Though The Free Shepherd was the first game we saw at the TGAs, it was one of my favorite announcements of the entire show. I’ve got a border collie-heeler mix at home who looks just like this loyal protagonist, so I hope the game doesn’t tear me to pieces. It’s going to tear me to pieces, isn’t it?
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.

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.
