News The Game Awards Will Be a Shorter Show, But Not by Much
Still a long one
The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley recently revealed this year's show will be "significantly shorter" after listening to years of feedback, but if you thought that would result in a tight 90-minute event or so, you might be surprised on the evening. In a recent Twitch livestream, Keighley said he thinks "it's probably going to be...
Feature 8 PS5, PS4 Predictions for The Game Awards 2022
What we think Keighley has cooking
It's that time of the year again: Geoff Keighley is taking to The Game Awards stage to crown the best games of this year and provide a look to the future with new reveals and announcements. As is also tradition, we are here to share a couple of PS5, PS4 predictions based on what we think will happen. Each member...
News The Game Awards Will Be 'Significantly Shorter' This Year
Keighley cuts back on runtime
Geoff Keighley has done an admirable job with his The Game Awards format, providing an annual livestream that’s worth watching if you’re a fan of the medium. However, our biggest criticism is that the show has just been far too long – in recent years, the broadcast has been pushing three hours, and ultimately it...
Random Michael Madsen Teams Up with 505, Epic for The Game Awards Reveal
Lost property
We’ve reached the crusty celebrity sketch phase of The Game Awards’ marketing cycle, with Michael Madsen cameoing in this toe-curling clip to promote a new title from 505 Games and Epic Games. As vague as the video is, we don’t actually know if this will release on PlayStation at all, but the QR code glimpsed in the video points...
News God of War, Sony Exclusives Dominate The Game Awards Nominees
Over 20 nominations in total
Sony has absolutely swept the nominations for The Game Awards, garnering over 20 nods in total across a variety of different categories. As expected, both God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West will duke it out for the top honours, in the coveted Best Game Direction and overall Game of the Year categories. In the...
News Will a PS5, PS4 Exclusive Win Big At The Game Awards?
Nominees incoming on Monday
The nominees for The Game Awards will be announced on Monday, 14th November. While it’s not the only awards show – in fact, a trio of Sony titles were nominated for The Golden Joysticks earlier today – it is the one that tends to get the most mainstream
News The Game Awards Returns on 8th December with 'Very Special' Ninth Show
Let's get through Gamescom first, yeah?
Geoff Keighley is addicted to the hype. He's on the cusp of broadcasting Gamescom Opening Night Live, but he can't help but look forward to his next big, exciting show. Indeed, The Game Awards, Keighley's annual awards ceremony (but mostly just a very late E3 press conference) will return this December for its...
News The Game Awards 2021 Breaks Records with Livestream Numbers
Geoff's done it again
We love Geoff, but the terminology used to describe the success of The Game Awards 2021 is the kind of thing that makes our eyes roll out of their sockets. According to hype master Keighley, the event "delivered a record 85 million livestreams". It sure sounds impressive, but "delivered"? "Livestreams"? That's a weirdly...
Feature The Results for Our Game Awards 2021 Quiz Are In
Did you beat TGA 2021?
Earlier in the week, we asked the Push Square community to predict The Game Awards 2021. You lot were presented with a 30 yes or no question quiz, which was designed to crack a smile ahead of Geoff Keighley's big show. Still, the results make for an interesting read... Let's see how you did! Question 1: Will Geoff Keighley...
Round Up What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2021?

The show has gotten better and better over the past few years in this department, with entire console reveals taking...
News Star Trek: Resurgence Sets Phasers to Stun on PS5, PS4
Live long and prosper
Outside of the ever-popular Star Trek Online, there’s alarmingly little for Trekkies to dig into on consoles these days. We quite enjoyed the co-operative PSVR title Star Trek: Bridge Crew, but it’s been slim-picking beyond that. Dramatic Labs’ upcoming narrative adventure Star Trek: Resurgence will stir attention, then;...
News Did You Spot the Snake Robot in Horizon Forbidden West's PS5, PS4 Trailer?
Don't tread on me
If the aim with Horizon Forbidden West was for Guerrilla Games to go bigger and better, then it’s looking like it’s going to stick the landing with a Thunderjaw-esque stomp. While we’ve already been introduced to the elephant-style machine, the Tremortusk, the Dutch developer teased a couple more exotic arrivals in its...
News Metal: Hellsinger Is a Headbanging PS5 Rhythm FPS for Metalheads
\m/
It’s probably not crazy to say that the vast majority of rhythm games focus on various forms of dance music, whether it’s straight-up pop or more niche electronic tunes. Metal, traditionally, is not something represented by the genre at least, which is where Metal: Hellsinger on the PlayStation 5 aims to set itself apart. This is a...
News Journey to DLC Island with Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course in June 2022
A release date at last
Cuphead might not be for everyone with its super-tough boss battles, but man, its presentation is stunning — and that goes for its trailers, too. Studio MDHR clearly has an absolute blast making these promos, and it all pays off; this trailer for the long-awaited Delicious Last Course expansion was one of the best at The...
News Battle Royale PUBG: Battlegrounds Goes Free-to-Play Next Year
Too little too late?
Poor old, PUBG, eh? The originator of the Battle Royale boom, it’s been left behind by the likes of Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. And now, in one last ditch attempt to reclaim its crown, publisher Krafton has announced that it’ll be going free-to-play on the PlayStation 4 from 12th January. We’re going to be brutally...
News Become the Fatemaker with Latest Tiny Tina's Wonderlands PS5, PS4 Trailer
Fantasy take on Borderlands looking good
It's easy to dismiss Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with its eye-rolling dialogue and almost garish presentation, but we mustn't forget that these titles have always been great co-op shooters. This Borderlands-adjacent spin-off takes that fun, looter shooter core and puts it in a fantastical new setting, and it's...
News Life Is Strange: True Colors Dev Adapting The Expanse for Telltale Games
We'll remember that
Acclaimed sci-fi show The Expanse will be getting a prequel, courtesy of the resurrected Telltale Games and Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine. The game – which currently has no platforms attached, but is expected to release on the PlayStation 5 and PS4 – will serve as a prequel to the television series, and...
News The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Is Another Asymmetrical Horror Game
This time inspired by the film
Ever since Dead by Daylight exploded in popularity, there have been a number of asymmetrical horror games. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest attempt: a multiplayer title from Sumo Digital Nottingham inspired by the iconic 1974 movie. There’s no word on platforms just yet, but it’s probably safe to assume...
News Steelrising, the Strange Steampunk French Revolution Game, Has a PS5 Release Window
Expect it next summer
To be brutally honest, we’re still puzzled how developer Spiders got publisher Nacon to greenlight Steelrising. Conceptually, this is one of the stranger high-budget productions we’ve seen on consoles in quite some time: it’s set during the French revolution in Paris – except Louis XVI has formed a mechanical army of...
News Rumbleverse Is a Free-to-Play Battle Royale Brawler for PS5, PS4
Epic Games on publishing duties
Epic Games’ metaverse will expand next year with Iron Galaxy’s free-to-play Battle Royale brawler, Rumbleverse.

You can check out the announcement trailer...
News Babylon's Fall Brings Hack and Slash Co-Op to PS5, PS4 in March 2022
Watch the new trailer
Babylon's Fall has been on an interesting trajectory since its announcement. Unveiled in 2018 for PlayStation 4, the game is now launching on PS5 too, and the action game has received a very mixed response over the years. Square Enix and PlatinumGames are back, though, with a brand new gameplay trailer — and, crucially, a...
News Evil West Looks Like Third-Person DOOM in Gameplay Reveal Trailer
Rip, tear, etc.
We almost forgot Evil West exists, but this new gameplay trailer has certainly put it back on our radar. Coming from publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Flying Wild Hog (Shadow Warrior), this game sees a western setting invaded by countless nasty demons, and it's your job to clean up the mess. The studio knows how to do...
News Fall Guys Takes a Trip to Halloween Town with Nightmare Before Christmas Crossover
Getting in the holiday spirit
Man, Fall Guys just keeps that crossover conveyor belt rolling, doesn't it? Mediatonic's online multiplayer platformer has been receiving regular updates since launch more than a year ago, with a near constant drip-feed of fun guest star appearances in the form of costumes. That's set to continue with a rather festive...

Talking Point Did The Game Awards 2021 Live Up to the Hype?
Keighley's December surprise
He hyped it up to high heaven, but did Geoff Keighley deliver on his promises for The Game Awards 2021? It's time for you to decide in the latest Push Square poll. We heard word of "four or five" reveals on the same level as Summer Game Fest's Elden Ring trailer, but what di
News Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Is Getting a Sequel on PS5
Ten years after original
Wow, remember Warhammer 40K: Space Marine? It was a really well-liked third-person shooter that released on the PlayStation 3 about a decade ago. Well, ten years later, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are building a sequel. There’s not much meat to this trailer – despite its two-minute running time – but you...
News A Plague Tale: Requiem Infests PS5 with New Story Trailer
Rats
Right, then: here’s a better look at the rat-infested sequel to surprise hit A Plague Tale: Innocence. Announced earlier in the year, A Plague Tale: Requiem does, admittedly, look like more of the same: you’ll be controlling Amicia de Rune, attempting to keep her (annoying) younger brother Hugo safe. The rich, period backdrop appears to be...
News It's Forspoken That Square Enix's New Action RPG Will Launch 24th May
Not long to wait

This one’s a looker, make no mistake about it – it’s certainly a...
News Tchia Continues to Look Wonderful in New Gameplay Trailer
You can be a lantern
There were a bunch of big games shown off at The Game Awards, but one smaller title that caught our eye was Tchia.

Playing as a young inhabitant of a tropical island setting, you can possess any animal or object you...

News Former Silent Hill Developers Announce Slitterhead

Slitterhead looks mental. Give it to us immediately. Obviously, that can't actually happen, but boy are we in the mood for what Bokeh Game Studio is cooking up after its lead designers left Sony. No platforms were announced for this one, but we'll buy whichever ones it comes to based on the announcement trailer embedded above.
News New Horizon Forbidden West Trailer Features Gameplay and Costumes
Face paint too
Guerrilla Games kept things short and simple with its appearance at The Game Awards: a new gameplay trailer for Horizon Forbidden West featuring new areas and even some new costumes and face paints.
