Every trailer and announcement at The Game Awards 2023

Gawd, it’s like hyping yourself up before diving into a freezing cold ice lake. Okay, okay, okay. Brave face. Hey, it’s time for The Game Awards 2023, everybody! Towards the end of every year, we all get to enjoy (or in our case, give up our evenings and ruin our fingers to the tune of) one of the gaming industry’s biggest events. The Game Awards is not only an awards ceremony – it’s a lavish smorgasbord of video game announcements, trailers, and news stretching into the early hours of the morning. At least for us Brits.

A kick in the dino groin to this year’s monster hunting pretender Wild Hearts, perhaps? Who can say. Formally unveiled at tonight’s Game Awards, this new Monster Hunter is coming in 2025, and looks to be the jazzed-up successor to Monster Hunter: World. That’s not a diss on Rise (which was excellent). Just that it’s being developed for PC and consoles first, rather than Switch. And it looks rad as heck. Come and watch the reveal trailer below.
