However, The Game Awards is more than just an award ceremony. It’s grown to become a popular platform for game developers to show off their developments. And this year was no different, as we got to see some new game trailers, game announcements, and other surprises. Here’s a quick round up of everything –
Epic Game Store Is Now Live
Epic probably made the biggest splash at The Game Awards this year with the launch of its digital storefront for PC and Mac. Epic did say that it would share more details about the store at the event, but I am sure nobody was expecting a full-fledged launch of the store with a slew of high-profile titles like Darksiders 3, World War Z, etc.

New Far Cry Game
Earlier this week Ubisoft teased a new Far Cry game hinting at a post-apocalyptic sequel. Well, the Game Awards was were the company unveiled ‘Far Cry: New Dawn’, Ubisoft’s next installment in the open-world series.
Fry Cry: New Dawn will be set after the events of Far Cry 5, in which the villain Joseph Seed sets off a nuclear bomb. Yes, it’s as exciting as it sounds, and I just can’t wait to play it. The game is set to launch on February 15th on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
