The 2023 Game Awards was a bit of a mixed bag overall. While it had a ton of fun guest appearances and a plethora of exciting video game announcements, this year's Game Awards didn't really feel like it was celebrating the people who made the year's best games all that much, with each award winner being ushered off the stage after just 30 seconds of speech time. That being said, the announcements were abundant this year, and some were genuinely surprising, with one of the biggest surprises of the night being Marvel's Blade.
