Last week, following The Game Awards 2024, we asked the Push Square community to vote on what they thought was the best announcement of the whole show.
Almost 2,000 votes were cast, split across 20 PS5-related reveals.
So, without further ado, here are the top ten best announcements from The Game Awards 2024 — as voted by you!
10. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound - 26 votes (1%)
9. Split Fiction - 66 votes (4%)
8. Project Century - 67 votes (4%)
7. Mafia: The Old Country - 68 votes (4%)
6. Elden Ring: Nightreign - 82 votes (5%)
5. Project Robot - 86 votes (5%)
4. Onimusha: Way of the Sword - 132 votes (7%)
3. Okami Sequel - 156 votes (9%)

It doesn't have a date, we don't know which platforms it's coming to, and there's been no mention of its potential development cycle, but Okami is finally getting a sequel, and that's enough!
The original Okami released for the PS2 all the way back in 2006, and it's crazy to think that such a beloved property has gone almost two decades without a proper follow-up.
But between this and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, it's clear that Capcom's more than ready to dip into its back catalogue of fan-pleasers. We can't wait to see more this inevitably gorgeous adventure.
2. The Witcher 4 - 362 votes (20%)

Tearing into second place with a whopping 20% of the vote is The Witcher 4, which got a superb CG reveal trailer at Geoff Keighley's event, packed with cool reveals, bloody action, and emotional storytelling.
Because CD Projekt Red is always so public with its plans, we've known about The Witcher 4 for quite some time — but still, its official announcement caught many by surprise.
Given that The Witcher 3 is widely regarded as one of the best RPGs ever made, it's easy to understand the excitement for its sequel. And while there are certain concerns surrounding Ciri's promotion to protagonist — mostly from a writing and lore standpoint — it's hard to imagine the Polish studio dropping the ball on this one.
1. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet - 632 votes (36%)

The final announcement of The Game Awards 2024, we finally got to see what Naughty Dog's been working on for all these years.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet got a pretty lengthy reveal trailer, introducing us to a retro-sci-fi setting in which you play as no-nonsense bounty hunter Jordan. Following on from The Last of Us, it's a bold step in an entirely new direction for the legendary PlayStation Studio.
We don't really know how far out Intergalactic is in terms of release, but Sony tends to only show its hand when projects are fairly close to completion. 2025 feels like a push — especially with Ghost of Yotei scheduled for next year — while 2026 seems more than reasonable.
In any case, you lot loved this announcement. Intergalactic ended up with more votes than most of the top ten put together. A clear winner.

Still unclear as to why we couldn't vote for Dispatch.
After all the vitriol about it online, it’s nice to see actual gamers provide some real perspective on Intergalactic.
Onimusha, Okami and Ninja Gaiden were the picks for me 😎
With how much damage The Last of Us 2’s pre-release leak caused and the fact that ND has made the point that this has been in development for 4 years, I can’t help but wonder if Intergalactic is actually a lot closer than we might think.
Crazy how the truth can set you free.
Also, Onimusha fam, we did it!
Naughty Dog Days! Can’t wait for Intergalactic
@colonelkilgore There has been vitriol? Is it because of the female protagonist? I really enjoyed the trailer and am looking forward to a new Naughty Dog IP. It's been so long....
Well done ND, nearly double the votes of the nearest other.
People really voting two trailers with almost zero gameplay. 😂
Project Century was the only one that actually caught my interest. Obviously The Witcher 4 is hype but unless the combat is dramatically improved over TW3 I'm on the fence.
And I'm sure the ew Ninja Gaiden by the Blasphemous devs will be a banger
Other than those though almost all of the reveals were pretty mid for me.
For me easily Onimusha coming back ^__^😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@colonelkilgore too right mate!!
Game awards was what the game industry needed, A LOT of great games, but Intergalactic will be a game of generation, with ND working on it all this time
@Majin_Deicide same, project Century looked the best imo.
Glad that the PlayStation maximalists have something to hold on to with intergalactic. That and yotei do look amazing in the 1st party action adventure roster.
@Jey887 yup mate, female, skinhead, product placement and Concord were the main culprits
Mafia Old Country was actually announced at summer games fest or whatever that other dorito pope show is called. Would've been hyped about Okami 2, but it sure sounds like it's many years away.
@Lup
Yes, these are cinematic trailers, not gameplay trailers. It's ok to have both and we will see gameplay when the time is right.
I'm unbelievably hyped for project century despite having only played 1 game from the studio ever lol. Witcher 4 wasn't exactly a new announcement but it was nice to see a trailer for it. It was actually a really well put trailer
And character design aside, intergalactic was actually pretty interesting. The dialogue between the 2 characters we saw never felt... how should I put it. Like hr was in the room? And ending it with the clash against the scary looking robot was nice
I'm a big fan of The Witcher books, but so far I only played the first game all the way back in 2007. The trailer for the new game got me excited though, time to clear my schedule and catch up!
Witcher, Mafia and Elden Ring for me.
Onimusha the way of the sword and mafia the old country oh yeah.word up son
Not enough gameplay for me, but that's the Keighley's lots of cinematic trailers and "get hyped its coming in 3+ years" type announcements They were awesome though
Okami (probably the longest out) FTW.
That 6 minute Witcher trailer was better than the entire Netflix Witcher series.
@colonelkilgore "gamers" ok lol
Onimusha forst for me. Then Intergalactic, then maybe the Okami sequel
I’ll be honest, I don’t really get the hate on Intergalactic. The trailer gave me sort of Alien meets Cowboy Bebop vibes and I’m all there for everything about it. Man, I hope that one’s another one next year. Totally fine with having more games that look more personally exciting to me than GTA6 on the docket.
And man I do with Project Robot felt closer. See you for the PS6, Ueda!
Onimusha by a landslide for me, then Intergalactic.
@J_e_f_f__D so you’re saying the good-users of Push Square shouldn’t be considered gamers? Interesting 🤔
I know Project Robot won't be out for years and years, but I can't wait to know more. 🥳
Okami 2 is like obscure Half-Life 3. The Witcher 4 was already announced. And Intergalactic was a forgone conclusion.
What I'm saying is: WHY DIDN'T YOU PEOPLE VOTE FOR OKAMI 2?! A sequel 20 years in the making bringing back its original creator (who is one of Japan's great video game auteurs — it's not just Kojima) isn't a good enough announcement for you people?
I couldn't care less about a bald head and some product placement. But excitement for a trailer with basically no gameplay in it? Nah. Sorry. Plenty of naff games had a great trailer to it. I will reserve judgement until I see some meat.
I mean, obviously the readers of a PlayStation journalism site would vote for the PlayStation game.
Dino Crisis.....oh wait....😭
Left and right pic, yes. Middle pic looks like something from a joke Chris Rock would get slapped over.
I voted for intergalactic, only because finally Naughty Dog are doing something fresh it's been 2 whole consoles since they did something different, on top of all the remasters.
Still wouldn't say no to an uncharted. Hahaha fingers crossed.
But intergalactic looks like it's going to be a nice cross between uncharted comedy and last of us serious tone.
Looking forward to it.
@Jey887 it could have been anything else and for sure there would have been negativity.
@somnambulance people will hate anything naughty dog showed. Some people just need to find different hobbies because that trailer was cool af
Intergalactic, yeah sure
I actually liked Intergalactic trailer. From what I gather it's a bounty hunter game in space. I've been romanticising this idea for many years and even wrote a story about it. I'm game, definitely interested to see what they do, the potential is endless, anything close to Cowboy Bepop is a W in my book. I'm hoping we can fly into a planet and leave without loading screens. The idea makes me bricked up 😂
@Jimmer-jammer I really think it will come out late 2025, and I really feel like we will finally have that big Showcase early next year to announce release dates for Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic and Wolverine with some other announcements sprinkled in. Just a guess but its nice not to be in the dark like we were all last year.
I enjoyed Okami for the most part back in the day. However, even though it was innovative, I remember not totally digging the combat. Will have to see how the sequel turns out.
Intergalactic definitely has my attention. I generally don't play Mature rated games, so will depend on the reviews, and why it is rated Mature.
@JaBrony123 Yeah, considering how many studios have been beavering away in silence for years, I think the floodgates are finally starting to lift.
Okami 2 is the best thing on the list by a million miles.
No game in the list, for me, has the sheer magic and wonder of the original Okami.
Is Okami on the PS4/PS5 and does it actually hold up? I’m thinking about buying it soon if it is.
My top game was Witcher 4 but I’m stoked for Intergalatic, Project Century, and Dispatch. Witcher 4 was hands down the best announcement. Idc about the Internet discourse; Ciri taking the mantle is perfect. People will find a way to complain about the sky being blue
I like Intergalactic trailer but i'm really hype for Onimusha along with VF6, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, and Project Century.
@CWill97 Yes Okami HD has physical/digital release for PS4. I just ordered a secondhand copy and will get my hands on it in a couple of days. Here's some comparison from PS2 to PS4 version

@colonelkilgore Vitriol?
@Stale-Bread Yo. Could you imagine how dope an RE engine Dino Crisis would be?
Project Century, Virtua Fighter, Okami Onimusha and Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is what I'm looking forward.
@Ultimapunch aye
Most the announcement were really good but yeah it's going to be a long wait for Intergalactic. If it has 4 years of development and somehow releases next year, that would be crazy and also healthy.
Okami 2, new Onimusha and Project Robot have made me more hyped for gaming than the last, like, 5 years. Hopefully the hype will carry across the next 5 years until they’re all out.
@Jey887 Oh you are so lucky to not be on social media. A black, bald woman means Neil is out to ruin yet another ND game or something.
Oh and apparently Ciri looks like a "man" according to the same people.
@GymratAmarillo I'm anticipating 2026 for Intergalactic and Wolverine. Intergalactic the big summer game, Wolverine the Thanksgiving period game.
1. Intergalactic. Especially after tlou 2 PC troll earlier in the show.
2. Project Robot from Ueda
3. Onimusha
4. The Outer Worlds 2
5. Ninja Gaiden
7. Mafia
I liked the Witcher trailer but that wasn't even in-engine. It was completely CGI and I really do want to see massive combat improvements before I get hyped. TW3s combat was off-putting especially in the same year as Bloodbornes. The other game who's trailer didn't really hype me too much was Okami 2 which is clearly a recruitment advertisement for devs.
Intergalactic, man I cant wait to experience what ND delivers to us. I also hope its not that far away from release lmao
@somnambulance that’s because the hate is from chuds mad about it starring a buzz cut black/korean female so that automatically makes the game woke and DEI garbage in their brain rotted eyes
@colonelkilgore Vitriol for what? Why?
@RoomWithaMoose Not when Onimusha happened the same night.
Removed - inappropriate
@Ultimapunch I can respect my Onimusha brothers. Honestly, Onimusha, Okami, and Ninja Gaiden were the big wins of the night.
I'm ready for onimusha and intergalactic
Capcom did some good stuff, everything else looked like a fart coming out of a butt.
Okami Sequel.
@Tidus_g lol a game of a generation 😂
@Tidus_g Yeah... Okay lol
Intergalactic looks like ND really wanted to make a Guardians of the Galaxy game but were denied the license, so they just changed a couple things.
@breakneck It's not luck my friend. I ditched all social media except for these comments sections long ago. My mental health is significantly better because of it. It does lead to being slightly ignorant on some matters (such as this one) but ignorance can be bliss.
My GOTY 2024 choice is still BARBIE : PROJECT FRIENDSHIP PS5. 😊

It's BARBIE time on my PS5!
@Jey887 I left Twitter for Bluesky but recently even Bluesky has so many people just putting screenshots of Twitter nonsense. Reddit is a cesspool too that I'm trying to reduce.
I am happy with the ranking, mostly, but specially happy about #1 and that people are consistent.
Everyone asks for new IPs and less sequels and sometimes when we get them they turn the other way before even trying them. Happy that the most exciting game for the majority is the new IP from this excellent Studio.
Intergalactic is getting a lot of heat elsewhere and it magically gets the no1 spot here.. Very suspect "voting"
@breakneck Reddit always used to be OK but it's definitely made a turn for the worse in recent years. r/games was great for discussion and news but it's just full of doomers now.
Onimusha is my top dog then I'd say either mafia or witcher 4 (would have preferred my own character). Intergalactic just isn't doing it for me especially without gameplay. Ppl attacking and defending it knowing little to nothing about it is pretty entertaining though.
@colonelkilgore if it helps ease your conscience, sure.
@J_e_f_f__D and why exactly would my conscience need easing?
