This year at The Game Awards, if your game wasn\u2019t melodramatic, mechanically innovative, beautifully presented and aggressively French, it didn\u2019t stand a chance. The Game Awards 2025 wrapped up on the evening of Thursday, December 11 with a record-breaking showing by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive. The game received the most nominations and wins in the show\u2019s 12-year history.<\/p>\n
But, we know that\u2019s not really why you\u2019re here. Between the award presentations and musical numbers, there were heaps of new game trailers, announcements and updates, and we\u2019ve collected them all for you right here. The award winners are also there.<\/p>\n
