Along with the bevy of the ceremony itself, The 2021 Game Awards also serves host to various reveals and "world premieres". Even if the games have already been showcased in the past, new content is generally rolled out for audiences during a widely viewed spectacle. It Takes Two wins Game Of The Year, Deathloop lead the show nine total nominations, including winning Best Direction, Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 took home the award for Best Score., and to no surprise of anyone, Maggie Robertson's portrayal of Resident Evil 8: The Village's Lady Dimitrescu won Best Performance. 

The new games revealed during the show were in the double digits, totaling out at almost 20 upcoming titles. Here's a rundown of some of the bigger announcements during the event:

A Wonder Woman Game Announced by Warner Bros Games

Developed by Monolith Productions, the team behind Shadow Of War: Middle Earth, the single player open-world action game will introduce an original story set in the DC Universe and allow players to become Diana of Themyscira in the fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world. It intends on using Mordor's "Nemesis" system, so this could be interesting.

Quantic Dream's Star Wars Eclipse

Set during the High Republic era, Star Wars Eclipse is an intricately branching action-adventure game that can be experienced in many ways, and puts the destinies of multiple playable characters in your hands, created in collaboration between Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games. QUantic Dream, more noted for their story-based titles like Detroit: Become Human.

TWO Servings Of Sonic The Hedgehog: Sonic Frontier & Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Following the success of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which while it may not have had the strongest script, managed to charm audiences with some of the performances of Ben Schwartz (the voice of Sonic) and Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik, along with its Saturday matinee feel. Its box office performance quickly warranted a sequel. The original cast returns, along with addition of Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna, guardian of the Chaos Emerald.

Sonic Frontiers

Sega will be hitting people with a double dose of the Blue Hedgehog, as Sonic Team will be striving for Sonic's first open-world based zone design. Sega reportedly cancelled Sonic Mania 2, perhaps in hopes of Sonic Frontiers not being overshadowed another work. With many of his more recent games teetering in the field of mediocre to bad in terms of fan reception, Frontiers may have a lot to prove.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II

Ninja Theory's followup to 2016's Senua's Sacrifice, Senua's Saga continues the warrior's journey. Coming exclusively to the Xbox line of consoles and PC, this six minute trailer involves a harrowing fight against a fearsome creature.

Alan Wake 2

The first Alan Wake released on the Xbox 360 was widely accepted. Remedy Entertainment looks to be branching the series into a survival horror style venture. The first game was more action-oriented, with a creative use of the camera and the player's flashlight.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

Produced by Rocksteady Games, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League shows its gameplay trailer and how each villain's play style is reflected in the game. Expected to be released in 2022, this will be Rocksteady's first new game in almost seven years. The influence of their Batman games can be seen in the action.

Explore The Matrix

Okay, it's more of a trailer for the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 than a traditional video game, (along with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss pushing the new Matrix movie) but the Epic Games pushed Matrix Awakens shows off the future of how the new engine will aim to "blur the line between what's virtual and what's real". 

King Of Fighters XV Krohnen Character Reveal & Beta Announcement Trailer

Looking for more feedback on its upcoming sequel, SNK reveals a new King Of Fighters character, the enigmatic "Krohnen", as well as a second online beta test for players. The last one held a month ago was positively received, but came with its share of problems. Namely, the promise that a PS Plus membership wasn't required to access it was something that never happened. Whether there was a lack of communication on Sony or SNK's end is uncertain, but here's hoping for a slightly smoother access this time.

 Halo: The TV Series

Coming to Paramount Plus is the very long-awaited Halo series, the epic battle between human and alien will finally be dramatized. The series stars Pablo Schreiber (Master Chief, John-117), Natascha McElhone (Dr. Halsey), Jen Taylor (Cortana), Bokeem Woodbine (Soren-066) and more.

Among Us VR

During the early months of coronavirus lockdown, the social deduction game became a smash hit and was a meme throughout 2020. It now gets the VR treatment, keeping its squatty technicians in super deformed mode. All of the same betrayal and deceit as the original game, but now in a virtual Skeld.

Dune: The Spice Wars, an RTS spinoff

 Hey, remember when Dune once had a real-time strategy game back in 1998 during the height of the genre? Well, it's coming full circle 24 years later. The game will be available in early access in 2022, but an official release date has yet to be announced.
