Alongside the awards, the gaming giants offer a plethora of game announcements and reveals. Here's what stood out.
Lucasfilm returns to the Old Republic

No release date was announced, but the game will be available on PC and consoles.
Fate of the Republic features a single-player narrative adventure where players step into the role of a Force user; the original story is set in the era of the Old Republic, hundreds of years before the events of the original Star Wars.
'Divinity' goes stand-alone
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios and winner of The Game Awards 2023 Game of the Year Award, has announced Divinity. It’s a continuation of the Divinity saga, and doesn’t require experience with previous Larian titles.

Control: Resonant is set to come out sometime in 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
