It wasn’t much of a shock when ARC Raiders won Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards on December 11th. Critics love the game, giving it a 92% rating on OpenCritic, and players overwhelmingly agree, with a perfect 100% score. With a ‘Very Positive’ rating from over 150,000 reviews on Steam, it seems like developer Embark is just getting started with this popular title.
Gaming fans were in for a treat last night at The Game Awards, which featured new game announcements, updates, and plenty of awards. The biggest surprise of the night came with the trailer for Forest 3. Host Geoff Keighley called it “completely unexpected,” and he wasn’t wrong! The trailer showed a very different side of the Forest series, with strange aliens, bright neon lights, futuristic guns, and a creepy forest setting. Fans were shocked for two main reasons: the new game looks drastically different from the first two Forest titles, and Sons of the Forest only just officially launched this year. While the reveal was exciting, many are now worried that the current game, Sons of the Forest, may never be released on consoles.
The upcoming Alien game is a single-player survival horror experience where you’ll try to stay alive on a crumbling space station. Currently in development, it focuses on evading both deadly Xenomorphs and highly trained special ops forces. One source described the gameplay as being similar to “Shadow of the Tomb Raider,” but with the added threat of the iconic Alien creatures.
For a long time, fans have wondered if Leon would be in the next Resident Evil game. The answer became clear at The Game Awards 2025 with the new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem. The trailer confirmed Leon’s return, though he wasn’t shown until the very end – saving the day with some impressive zombie headshots. Capcom likely used this delayed reveal to create excitement at the biggest gaming event of the year, and it worked – fans online were thrilled to see him included in the game.
Imagine being able to acquire the huge ship, The Queen Orsa, without paying anything! It seems strange, since the owner is asking for 100,000 Leaves to cover repairs, but it’s actually possible.
To be honest, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic faces significant hurdles. The development studio, founded in July 2025, means the trailer showcased a vision for the game, not a finished product. Achieving that vision is a huge task in itself, and it’s complicated by the fact that Hudson, who previously worked on The Old Republic, is leading the project again.
Tool is known for being very careful about allowing their music to be used in films and TV shows. While frontman Maynard James Keenan’s other bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, have appeared in many projects, Tool rarely licenses its songs. The band carefully considers whether a project is a good fit, so Wizards of the Coast likely appreciates Tool agreeing to feature one of their popular songs in the announcement for Warlock.
It’s hard to pick just a few standout moments because he’s created so many memorable ones for fans. Therefore, this list focuses on the lasting significance of each amazing play, rather than just how much excitement it caused at the time.
This game’s crafting system works like the sandwich-making in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet – combining ingredients creates unique benefits. However, it’s not exactly the same, and you’ll also need to depend on a bit of luck to get the results you want.
For several weeks, a frustrating glitch in ARC Raiders was giving players an unfair edge. It wasn’t a complex exploit – players could simply use an invisible zipline in one spot on the map to pass through the ceiling and move around undetected. This was a serious problem, especially because ARC Raiders is an “extraction shooter.” That means when your character dies, you lose all the items you’ve collected, making it incredibly frustrating to be eliminated by someone exploiting the glitch. While similar issues in games like Battlefield 6 or Call of Duty would be annoying, the stakes were much higher in ARC Raiders due to the potential for lost progress.
