This week Geoff Keighley graced our phones and laptops to reveal which games will compete for honors at this year’s Game Awards. Games like Astro Bot and Black Myth: Wukong were among those earning several nods, while Dragon Age: The Veilguard saw itself almost entirely locked out (though there’s likely a pretty good explanation for that).
Additionally, we learned that Sony is making moves to acquire FromSoftware, the studio behind games like Elden Ring and Bloodborne. And we spent six hours with Obsidian’s Avowed, coming early next year, and came away convinced that it’s on track to be one of 2025’s very best. All this and more in the pages ahead.
