One of gaming’s biggest nights is here again
The Game Awards 2023 are underway, and Geoff Keighley and company have already delivered some big announcements in the opening moments of the show. Teases on social media for this year’s show were not as abundant as they were in previous years, and without many expectations, the surprises have already begun. A remake of a 2013 cult hit was revealed first, followed by new games from Finji, Color Gray, and more.
Below, we’re rounding up all of the big reveals, announcements, and trailers shown during The Game Awards. We’ll continue to expand this as the night goes on, so stay tuned for all the major news from the event.
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Remake
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is coming to modern consoles over a decade after its original release. The game, which launched in August 2013, saw players control two brothers at the same time, with one controller, as they traveled to save their father from illness with water from a life-giving tree.
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus 2 is the next game from Inscription creator Daniel Mullins, and it features first-person open-world gameplay mixed with a 2D game-within-a-game that mixes multiple formats from old-school pixel gameplay. The game is slated for release in 2025.
The Rise Of The Golden Idol
Color Gray has announced The Rise Of The Golden Idol, the follow-up to The Curse Of The Golden Idol. A brief teaser showed multiple mugshots connected by string on a corkboard, before the cursed idol appeared on the screen. The Rise Of The Golden Idol is coming to Netflix Games, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Usual June
Usual June is the next game from Finji, the studio behind Night In The Woods and Tunic. The debut trailer showed the titular June, who is being followed by a mysterious ghost. The game will launch in 2025.
Harmonium The Musical
This is a musical adventure made from The Odd Gentlemen made to be accessible to the deaf, as the game is fully subtitled, and everyone in the game speaks in sign language along with the singing. The game is coming to Xbox Game Pass and Netflix Games.
