THE Game Awards is about all the big-name games from this year being celebrated on the main stage.
However, given more time than the awards themselves, are the trailers for upcoming games.

While big-name studios had plenty of time to show off their project s, it was the new games by independent studios that had us the most excited.
Here are the five indie projects we were most excited to see at The Game Awards 2022.
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania
Dead Cells was one of the most popular games of 2017, and new DLC was announced during The Game Awards.
The DLC is a crossover between Konami’s popular franchise Castlevania, and will feature music from the series, as well as fan-favourite characters.
No full release date was given for the DLC, but we know that it will be coming early next year.
Hades 2
While indie darling is often a phrase that gets thrown around, Hades really captured the hearts and minds of the mainstream audience.
This is the first time SuperMassive Games has made a sequel, and this story features new gods, a new story, and a new protagonist.
Early access will start in 2023, so players can offer feedback and help shape the game as it develops.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
Hidden deep within Bayonetta 3, is a book that required three keys to open.
Once opened, you played a chapter of the book that played nothing like Bayonetta, and at the end, Jeanne tells you the story is to be continued.
No matter how much further you look in Bayo 3, the rest of the book is nowhere to be found.
That’s because it’s a standalone game telling the backstory of the Umbra Witch releasing March 17, 2023.
Earthblade
From the creator of popular indie games such as Towerfall Ascension and Celeste, comes a new game Earthblade.
We got a first look at TGA, including its general look as a pixel art style 2D platformer, with some combat.
Not much was shown, but if the team’s calibre is anything to go by, we’re excited to see more.
Death Stranding 2
With a trailer just as confusing as the trailer to the original Death Stranding, the sequel was announced at The Game Awards.
Norman Reedus was also shown in the trailer and seems to be making a return for the sequel.
Director Hideo Kojima has been teasing and hyping up this announcement over the last few months.
He is hoping that fans will dissect the announcement trailer and find out more details about the upcoming game.
