The Game Awards
The 2020 Game Awards had a laundry list of titles announced. From new installments of beloved series to the reveal of brand new IP’s, there was no shortage of new games to get excited about at this year’s award show. But, in case you missed out on the 2020 Game Awards, we’re here to give you the details on the biggest game announcements that went down at this year’s ceremony.
Earlier this year, Square Enix announced that the cult-classic from 2010, Nier, would be getting a remastered version in Nier: Replicant. During the Game Awards, we got a first look at the gameplay for the upcoming title. The game will still be an action-RPG, but judging by its looks, the gameplay has seen a major overhaul that looks more like its sequel, the critically acclaimed Nier Automata. Nier Replicant is set to release on April 23, 2021, for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
A free-to-play title, Century: Age of Ashes, will see players flying on dragons to take down their fellow players in this PVP multiplayer title from Playwing. The game will launch in February 2021 for the PC, though you can sign up for the game’s beta now.
Cloud won’t be the only Final Fantasy character in the world of Smash Bros., as his arch-enemy, Sephiroth, will be arriving in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate later this month. Equipped with his long iconic sword, Sephiroth will slash and stab his way through his opponents (especially Mario) before transforming into his final form for his final Smash.
It’s been 16 years since Joanna Dark’s last adventure, but the super spy is back in a new reimagining of the Perfect Dark series. Created by The Initiative, a new studio created by Microsoft, the game is in the early stages of development and will be exclusive to Xbox and PC.
A cinematic trailer and a behind the scenes video were released at the Game Awards.

From the creator of Dead Space and his new studio, Striking Distance, The Callisto Protocol will be a narrative-focus horror game that is set in the PUBG universe.
