TSURUGIHIME – INDIE Live Expo Winter 2023 trailer

There are definitely a few games that are nigh invisible in certain circles, but are secretly absolutely huge — we can certainly count Human: Fall Flat in that camp. Coming to PS4 in 2017 and available physically and digitally, the physics-based platformer has now reached an incredible sales milestone, having just surpassed 50 million shipped copies globally.

Valve has revealed the shortlists for this year's Steam Awards.

The festivities have finally returned to the battle royale with Fortnite Winterfest 2023, and we've got all you need to know about the start date, UK launch time and all the details on what to expect.

Pre-orders for Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin are now available digitally on the PlayStation Store and physically on PlayStation Direct and various retailers. The Standard Edition retails for $69.99, while the Digital Deluxe Edition costs $79.99.

Finally, we’ve got an update on the live-action adaptation of My Hero Academia, and it’s pretty promising. The show has been long in development at Netflix after they landed the rights to the beloved anime.

While Kojima's OD may have received the most articles in the press when it comes to TGA 2023 announcements, YouTube views tell a much different story, with Light No Fire by Hello Games handily topping this particular chart. Rightfully so, in this author's opinion, since the debut trailer was by far the most impressive game demonstrated at The Game Awards 2023.

Even though there was still no mention of it at The Game Awards - to be expected since Nintendo prefers to do its own thing - the widely held belief, almost expectation at this point, is that the Switch's successor will be announced, and maybe even launch, in 2024. That means the amiibos coming our way during the first two months of 2024 will be the Switch's last, and maybe even Nintendo's last if amiibos aren't a factor on the Switch 2. First Xenoblade's Noah and Mio, and then Sora, the final Smash amiibo which finally received a firm release date this week.

Nintendo's upcoming live event that was planned for early 2024 in Tokyo, Japan has been canceled by the developer. A press release translated by Japanese game news translator Genki reveals the cancellation was brought on in part by threats made against both Nintendo staff and attendees. 

Nintendo has cancelled a few of their live events in Japan, and the reasons are definitely disappointing.

Nintendo Live 2024 has been canceled after Nintendo employees reported receiving threats ahead of the upcoming event. 

Nintendo Japan has cancelled a series of public events that were scheduled to take place in Tokyo this month and next over safety concerns.

Day of the Devs does know how to put on a good show, and its latest indie games spotlight — officially a special The Game Awards edition — was another winner, bringing release dates for the long-awaited likes of Open Roads and Flock, plus a bunch of other reveals. We got a psychedelic sequel to 2021's acclaimed jazz adventure Genesis Noir, the second entry in Digital Eclipse's stellar Golden Master Series — this time focusing on the legendary Jeff Minter — plus a load of weirdness, from landlord witches to callcentre horror, to enjoy. And if you missed the showcase live (which is still worth watching, seeing as some of the footage included hasn't yet been published as standalone trailers), you can see everything you missed below.
