"At the Los Angeles' Peacock theater last night, The Game awards broadcast its annual mix of prize presentations and expensive video game advertisements. New titles were announced, celebrities appeared, and at one point, screaming people were suspended from the ceiling in an extravagant promotion for a new role-playing game. Acclaimed French adventure Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 began the night with 12 nominations the most in the event's history and ended it with nine awards."
"The Gallic favourite took game of the year, as well as awards for best game direction, best art direction, best narrative and best performance (for actor Jennifer English). Elsewhere, Hades II took best action game, Hollow Knight: Silksong won in best action/adventure and Arc Raiders won best multiplayer. There was a decent showing for the new(ish) Nintendo Switch 2, within Donkey Kong Bananza taking best family game and Mario Kart World scorching across the line with best sports/racing game."
"It was also a night of big budget video game announcements. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a spiritual successor to the classic Xbox series Knights of the Old Republic, was revealed with the original game director Casey Hudson at the helm. Developed by Arcanaut Studios, it's a single-player narrative adventure set on the brink of major change for the galaxy."
The Game Awards at Los Angeles' Peacock theater combined prize presentations with high-production adverts and theatrical stunts.

Hades II won best action, Hollow Knight: Silksong took best action/adventure, and Arc Raiders received best multiplayer.
