Here is everything announced at the 2021 Game Awards

Other award shows aren’t like the Game Awards. It’s more of a marketing platform than a celebration of the year’s top games. Sure, there are golden statues to be won, but the show’s major draw is that it contains exclusive game announcements. More than 50 titles were nominated for this year’s Game Awards, including some big shocks.

Sonic Frontiers and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are two new Sonic games.

At the show, Sonic fans got a double dose of news. First and foremost, we finally got a glance at the blue blur’s upcoming game, which was announced earlier this year. Sonic Frontiers is a first-of-its-kind open-world game in the Sonic franchise. It actually looks like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, to use an old cliché. It will be released during the holiday season of 2022.
