5 Biggest Announcements And Trailers From The Game Awards 2025

If you missed the live show, here's the biggest stuff you missed—assuming the group chat hasn't already been typing in all caps to give you the news.

Another year of The Game Awards is in the books with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 taking home the GOTY trophy, but we're not going to pretend the three-plus hour marathon isn't also totally about the world premieres. We've of course collected all of this year's Game Awards winners, and every announcement as it happened, but let's talk about the major trailers, shall we?

As usual, some of the biggest announcements leaked in the few days (or hours) before the show, but this year had several big announcements that we're actually excited about—not just re-releases of remasters.

Last we heard from Larian Studios boss Swen Vincke, the team was "deep in the trenches" on its next game codenamed "Excalibur." The only other thing we knew was the nope, it's not Baldur's Gate 4 and that the studio was invested in working on its own original IPs. We suspected that meant it would be returning to the Divinity series in some fashion, not moving on to entirely new, original settings, and now we know for sure. Now to just wait for an indeterminate amount of time to hear more about it.

KotOR 3 is real and it's a "spiritual successor" by Arcanaut Studios called Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Former KotOR and Mass Effect leader Casey Hudson is returning to the helm for FotOR. Arcanaut says it's "a single-player narrative-driven action RPG" where "every decision shapes your path towards light or darkness."
