Why should you not miss it? Light No Fire is a new multiplayer project from Hello Games, the developers of No Man’s Sky.
You are promised a game set in a massive open world that, according to the developers, should reach the size of our Earth. With this, they aim to break the boundaries of previous open-world games and offer you plenty of freedom.

This short trailer, shown at the Game Awards, impresses once again, especially visually. The audio is also incredibly impressive and lingers in your mind after the nearly two minutes.
In addition to some gameplay clips, several video sequences provide a good insight into ninth-century Iceland and show that this part will again focus heavily on the protagonist’s psyche.
When will it be released? There is not yet an exact release date. However, as announced, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is expected to be released in 2024 on Steam and Xbox.
No Rest for the Wicked
Genre: Action RPG | Developer: Moon Studios GmbH | Platform: PC / Xbox / PS5
Why should you not miss it? No Rest for the Wicked is a new action RPG from the creators of Ori, but surprises with a completely different style. While Ori appeared more childlike and mysterious, No Rest for the Wicked now comes with dark first impressions.
According to the developers, the game aims to reinvent the ARPG genre. The trailer especially brings you closer to the setting of the game but also gives you a first look at the gameplay and the interesting graphic style.
Our colleagues from GameStar have also already looked into the features of the game.

God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla
Genre: Action RPG | Developer: Santa Monica Studio | Platform: PS4/PS5
Why should you not miss it? God of War Ragnarök announced a pretty big update at the Game Awards. This should especially please players who already own the game, as it will be completely free.
Valhalla is the name of the update, which was presented in a short trailer. It is said to offer some new content and focus on a roguelike-like mode. In the trailer, you can already get a first impression of it.

Black Myth: Wukong
Genre: Action RPG, Soulslike | Developer: Game Science | Platform: PC / Xbox / PS4 / PS5
Why should you not miss it? Black Myth: Wukong is a highly anticipated action RPG and soulslike, which appears at the Game Awards with a new trailer. After gamescom 2023, the game was already among the top trailers of the show.
In particular, fans of soulslike games seem very excited about this title, so it is not surprising that Black Myth: Wukong is once again generating quite a bit of enthusiasm at the Game Awards.
As the latest trailer shows again, you take on the role of a famous monkey king from Chinese folklore in exciting battles. You use a magical fighting staff that can extend.
When will it be released? At the Game Awards, players were finally able to look forward to a release date. On August 20, 2024, Black Myth: Wukong is set to be released on Steam, Xbox, and PS5.
OD
Genre: Horror | Developer: Kojima Productions | Platform: Xbox
Why should you not miss it? That a project by Hideo Kojima is represented at the Game Awards was probably not surprising for most. After all, it is known that he is working with his studio on Death Stranding 2.
However, the trailer shown at the Game Awards reveals a completely different project being developed in collaboration with Microsoft. What you can really expect from the project, which is named OD, is not made clear by the trailer. However, it seems you can expect horror.
In the trailer, several well-known actors were seen. Among them were Sophia Lillis (It), Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), and Udo Kier (Swan Song), who say the same sentence in different ways, and Lillis even starts screaming in a panic at the end.
When will it be released? When the game will be released is still not known. However, it is clear that it is an exclusive title for Xbox.
Exodus
Genre: Sci-Fi RPG | Developer: Archetype Entertainment | Platform: Xbox
Why should you not miss it? Exodus is a new sci-fi RPG, which was presented at the Game Awards by actor Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar). In the game, he lends his voice to one of the characters.
The game, as shown in the trailer, not only reminds one of Mass Effect with its style but is also being developed by former Bioware developers. Fans of the old Mass Effect games may especially look forward to this new sci-fi adventure.
Among other things, the focus of the game mechanics is said to be time dilation. This is an effect that causes the processes of a physical system to occur more slowly to an external observer. So it’s like, “The clocks run slower.”
When will it be released? A release date for Exodus has not yet been announced. However, the game is supposed to be released for PC, Xbox, and PS5.
Last Sentinel
Genre: Open-World, Action RPG | Developer: Lightspeed LA | Platform: Unrevealed
Why should you not miss it? This new action RPG is set in an open world and focuses on the protagonist Hiromi Shoda. As seen in the trailer, Last Sentinel takes place in a futuristic world amidst the ruins of Tokyo.
The trailer itself is definitely worth a look graphically. However, if you take a closer look at the developers behind this team, it becomes clear that Last Sentinel is a title worth keeping an eye on.
Lightspeed LA is led by Steve C. Martin, who has brought out well-known titles such as GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2. The global development team has also made a name for itself with titles like The Last of Us, Uncharted, Jedi: Fallen Order, or God of War.
When will it be released? When and where Last Sentinel will be released is still not known.
