[TGA 2019] ‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’ Wins Game of The Year
In a surprise for many, From Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice snapped up the Game of The Year award at this year’s Game Awards. Sekiro also snagged the Best Action/Adventure Game of the Year, beating out heavyweights like Death Stranding, Resident Evil 2 and Control in both categories.
Death Stranding didn’t go away empty-handed, however. The Kojima Productions game won Best Game Direction of the Year, Best Performance of the Year (Mads “We want Hannibal back” Mikkelsen), and Best Score & Music of the Year. Meanwhile, Control snapped up the Best Art Direction of the Year. Luigi’s Mansion 3 won Best Family Game of the Year in a category that was entirely Nintendo properties (not that that’s a bad thing), and Devil May Cry V earned the Best Action Game of the Year.
Unfortunately for Resident Evil 2 and Gears 5 fans, both games came up short in the categories in which they were nominated.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
