The year 2023 is about to come to an end and what a fantastic year it was for gamers as they got to play some really awesome games such as Starfield, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate 3, and more. We also saw the first trailer for GTA 6, which came after a long wait of 12 years. While GTA 6 will not be released next year (it is expected for 2025), the year 2024 does have a great lineup waiting for gamers. From Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Tekken 8, to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it is set to be another exciting year. So, let us take a look at the most anticipated video games of 2024 and take a closer look at some of these titles.
The Video Game History Foundation is fundraising in the name of preservation
30.11.2023 - 17:45 / gamedeveloper.com
The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) is attempting to raise $50,000 through its Winter Fundraiser 2023 initiative so it can continue to "preserve, celebrate, and teach the history of video games."
Every dollar donated will be doubled by a group of sponsors including Studio MDHR, iam8bit, Nightdive Studios, Digital Eclipse, Nighthawk Interactive, Atari and more. The non-profit has already raised over $15,000 of its $50,000 goal.
"Unlike many similar organizations, our funding relies almost entirely on individual contributions from generous donors just like you. If you’re able to give this year, there is no better time than right now," reads a post on the VGHF website.
The VGHF is currently working on numerous projects in the name of preservation and education.
It's in the process of building the United States' first dedicated library for the study of video games, which will house near-complete sets of most North American video game magazines dating back to the late '70s. It will also provide a home for international publications, foreign language magazines, history and art books, and more.
Beyond that, the organization is working to collect and preserve historical assets, source code, and development tools; curating events such as pop-up museum exhibits; piecing together a media assets archive alongside former editors and journalists; and collaborating with major companies like Bethesda and Capcom to recover and restore lost materials.
