As the end of the year approaches, so too does The Game Awards 2024, and we’ve got all the best and most exciting announcements and exclusives from the ceremony for mobile and Nintendo Switch games. It’s been a pretty great year for handheld gaming, and with the likes of Balatro sitting pretty in the Game of the Year category, we’re excited to see what the future holds in 2025.
We’ve seen some pretty amazing games come to mobile in 2024, and to no one’s surprise gacha games like Wuthering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero both received nominations for the Best Mobile Game gong. But even with all of the celebrations for the winners, the awards aren’t the only exciting part of the night.
The Game Awards always puts on a showcase every year, including plenty of brand-new trailers, surprise announcements, exciting collaborations, and so much more to look forward to in the future. We’ve gathered all of the choicest mobile and Nintendo Switch announcements here in one place, so you can start planning your gaming calendar for next year.
Here’s every announcement from The Game Awards 2024 for mobile and Switch.
Slay the Spire 2
We got another sneak peek at Slay the Spire 2 with some tasty gameplay, and considering the Humble Bundle published first game is on the Nintendo Switch, we’re looking forward to seeing the sequel come to the handheld device some time in 2025.
Shadow Labyrinth
Bandai Namco gifted us with a trailer for Shadow Labyrinth, slated for release some time in 2025 on all platforms including the Nintendo Switch, where we’re in for an incredibly warped version of the iconic Pac-Man in this new 2D action platformer.
Steel Paws
Coming to mobile in 2025, this Netflix Games published mobile title from Yu Suzuki, the developer behind Shenmue and Virtua Fighter, looks adorable and cozy as well as fast-paced and fun. We’re excited to check it out!
Catly
Form the ultimate bond with your feline friends in Catly, where you can build adorably cozy safe havens when it launches on iOS. This world-builder lets you create, explore, decorate, and snuggle, cuddle, and groom. Any cat game has us sold, so we can’t wait for all the pets.
Dungeon & Fighter: Arad
We finally got a decent look at Nexon’s Dungeon & Fighter: Arad with a reveal trailer at this years Game Awards. Expectedly beautiful visuals, frenetically fast combat, and an RPG that’s got us very, very excited. It’s due to come out on all platforms including mobile, so we’ll keep you posted when we have new information on a release date!
Zenless Zone Zero
Hoyoverse gifted us with another look at Zenless Zone Zero’s most well-known celebrity in New Eridu. A mysterious signal has been detected from inside the Hollow! Heed the call, Proxies, it’s time to accept a new commission!
Sonic Racing Crossroads
SEGA only gave us a smidge of a trailer for Sonic Racing Crossroads, but good old Geoff Keighley promised us it’s worth the wait and is due to come out some time in 2025. So we’ll hopefully get more of a look at the speedy hedgehog in the new year.
