The Game Awards were not only great to watch, but they also provided announcements for some major releases coming in a year or two. Some were release dates for games we were already looking forward to, and others are brand new titles to get excited about!

If you were starting to experience withdrawal symptoms from your Star Wars game collection, fear no more! Star Wars: Eclipse is the announced new installment which is a collaboration between Lucasfilm Games and Quantic Dream (who made Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human).
Just like Quantic's other games, this title will also be a "multi-character narrative game", which means we can expect Detroit: Become Human but in the world of Star Wars! It is in early development but will definitely be one to watch.
Alan wake 2
Remedy fans were excited when Alan Wake was remastered this past quarter, but it's been revealed that the story doesn't end there! Alan Wake 2 is in production.
Remedy's Sam Lake said the game is a "pretty scary experience", which means if you take the original Alan Wake and dial it up a notch with those Energizer batteries, you're probably in for a scary time. …but in a good way.
It should be released in 2023.
