Keiichiro Toyama - the creator and director of Silent Hill, Siren, Gravity Rush, and more - has unveiled his latest horror project, Slitterhead.

Slitterhead is the work of Toyama's new studio, Bokeh, which he founded after departing SCE Japan Studio at the tail-end of last year.

Bokeh, which is also home to several other SCE Japan Studio alumni - including Gravity Rush lead designer Junya Okura and Kazunobu Sato - confirmed its first project would see Toyama return to his horror roots back in February. However, little was revealed about the new game at the time, only that Toyama wanted players to "feel exhilarated when playing" and that it would draw inspiration from the popular 'death game' sub-genre.

Aaryn Flynn, former boss of BioWare, has revealed his new project Nightingale.

It's described as a "shared world survival crafting game" set within a fantasy world inspired by a dark take on Victorian era, and is the first project from the newly-renamed studio Inflexion Games (formerly Improbable Canada).

Tonight's trailer, which premiered during The Game Awards, shows a labyrinth of realms navigated using Stargate-like portals, with players able to tackle enormous eldritch monsters solo or with others.

It's an announcement fans have been eagerly anticipating for more than a decade now, but Alan Wake 2 is finally official - and will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Epic Games Store in 2023.

It's certainly welcome news if not particularly surprising; after all, developer Remedy has spent the last few years doing its best to bring Alan Wake back into the public conscience - first in a fairly substantial cameo in the studio's acclaimed supernatural shooter Control, and then in a refreshed remaster for the 2010 original earlier this year.

Details are limited right now, but Remedy's Sam Lake took to the stage during this year's Game Awards to reveal a first, appropriately moody, and extremely wet teaser trailer, before describing the sequel as the studio's "first-ever survival horror game".

Monolith is making a Wonder Woman game. The project's just been announced at this year's Game Awards.

Wonder Woman will apparently be a single-player open world action game "powered by Nemesis system". A stylish teaser was shown focusing on Wonder Woman's iconic costume. No gameplay yet or platforms, and no hint of a date.

But Monolith! That's exciting! The studio's most recent work has been on the Middle-earth games, bringing a touch of chaos and dynamic warmongering to Tolkien, but the studio made its name with stuff like No One Lives Forever and F.E.A.R. It's not the team's first time dealing with DC superheroes either - Monolith also made Gotham City Imposters, which I really quite liked.

Star Wars: Eclipse is the heavily-rumoured new project from controversial Heavy Rain and Detroit developer Quantic Dream.

As expected, this is the first video game set in the Star Wars franchise's new High Republic era.

The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley noted the game was still in early development - as evidenced, perhaps, by the entirely CGI trailer.

The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley began tonight's award show with a brief statement condemning industry abuse - from companies and from online communities.

It was, of course, a not-so-thinly veiled nod at the current and very much ongoing situation at Activision Blizzard, which Keighley had been called out on whether he would acknowledge.

"We can't ignore the headlines that are out there," Keighley began, after introducing the show. "Game creators need to be supported by the companies that employ them," he continued, to applause from the audience.

Capcom's brilliant Monster Hunter Rise is, very excitingly given how good the base game is, set to get a "massive" paid expansion next summer in the form of Sunbreak, and we've now been given a fresh look at its action - and new monster Lunagaron - in a new teaser trailer.

We initially got a taste of Sunbreak's moody new climes in September, when Capcom brought first news of the expansion. However, as part of this year's Game Awards, the publisher has traded pre-rendered cinematics for what appears to be in-engine footage. Granted, we're still talking cut-scenes here, but it's nice to get a more tangible look at the game as its release drawers slowly nearer.

It offers a glimpse of a brand-new monster coming in the expansion - which Capcom has now confirmed to be the "ravenous beast" Lunagaron - as well as a brisk peek at Sunbreak's new setting, the island of Elgado, looking considerably more sunbleached than expected, given the moody twilight hues seen elsewhere.
