The Game Awards 2021: All information at a glance
The Last of Us 2 Multiplayer und The Last of Us Remake
That it was a remake of the zombie hit The Last of Us is almost certain by now. Industry insider Jason Schreier spoke of one as early as April 2021 Remake for the PS5to be under development at Naughty Dog. Journalist Eirik Hyldbakk Furu, who already hit the mark with many of his predictions for big games, also confirmed this rumor and gave some details. Because apparently the remake is supposed to be offer much more than just polished graphics. We don’t yet know for sure whether the project will be shown at the Game Awards 2021, but the rumor mill is boiling.
It is the same with that Multiplayer zu The Last of Us 2, which will probably appear as an independent game and has been a while in coming. Even if it could take several years until the release, a presentation at the Game Awards is not unlikely.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
Another hot contender for the Game Awards is Breath of the Wild 2 – that’s supposed to be there, according to a leaker be shown with new material. But whether it’s new gameplay or the official name or something completely different – we’ll have to wait and see.
What is certain is that the hype has been huge since the first presentation and the fans are eagerly awaiting a continuation of one of the best open worlds of all time:

Also on news for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 there are some solid indications. The journalist and insider Jeff Grubb said earlier an appearance of the hotly anticipated action adventure game ahead. Hellblade 2 was last shown at the Game Awards, but already in 2019. Since then, the extraordinary game in the Viking setting has been quiet.
The first trailer two years ago caused quite a stir, because Hellblade scores again with fabulous graphics that were even created in-engine:
