I remember reading a quote once by famed French novelist and literary critic Marcel Proust: “Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.” In that vein, our zeal for the experiences of yesteryear as gamers often unintentionally overrides how we actually experienced them originally.

What was old is new again. The Game Awards took place last night, and delivered a cavalcade of surprising announcements – many of which will have been of particular interest to fans of classic gaming. While the event was punctuated by some new releases – such as Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, FromSoftware’s Elden…
The Witcher 4’s cinematic reveal trailer was an indulgent six-minute-long saga in which Ciri, the new protagonist of the series, went on a sidequest.

There was a metric ton going on in Elden Ring: Nightreign’s first trailer—and even more in PCG senior editor Wes Fenlon’s massive hands-on preview of the game. But among the familiar sights of the roguelike spinoff’s bizarro Limgrave, there was an even deeper bit of deja vu: The return of a previously one-of-a-kind boss from…
Following a Game Awards bit in which Laura Bailey of Critical Role fame pretended not to know who Aaron Paul was, praising the Breaking Bad actor for being in “the greatest show of all time, The Wire,” the pair announced Dispatch, a “superhero workplace comedy” where we’ll send superheroes out to intercept crimes while chasing…
We were expecting some major reveals during this year’s 10th anniversary of The Game Awards and sure enough, Geoff pulled through with a stacked lineup of announcements—some of which even we weren’t anticipating.
