The Game Awards have returned, ready once more to bombard viewers with a plethora of adverts, sprinkle in a dash of Muppet magic, and affirm which gaming masterpiece will earn the coveted title of Game of the Year. While it might be tempting to assume the outcome is already set in stone—though Silksong could deliver an unexpected twist—it seems clear that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leads the pack. Garnering an impressive 12 nominations, it stands out as this year’s top contender, especially with nods in all five key craft categories: Direction, Art, Music and Score, Narrative, and Audio Design.

In terms of new announcements, Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games are reportedly planning an intriguing development within the Tomb Raider franchise. Additionally, Keighley was likely poised to unveil major updates regarding Resident Evil: Requiem, although those plans were thwarted by an early leak of key artwork on the PlayStation Store. Here, we delve into all the significant news, announcements, and trailers unveiled at The Game Awards 2025.
