So, it looks like celebs will be competing with professional gaming folks to win a shiny Golden Joystick trophy. There’ll be challenges, battles, and some walkthroughs (you can catch a glimpse of some of them playingDeathlooptogether on a sofa).

The trailer is only 40 seconds long, but you can see a few of the games they’re competing in too. I caught Street Fighter, Mario Kart, Call Of Duty, Beat Sabre, Mario 3D World, Deathloop,Cuphead, Speedrunners, and a couple more.
The original GamesMaster ran on Channel 4 between 1992 to 1998, during which I was aged -4 to 2, so I’m afraid I cannot tell you what I thought of it personally. It strikes me as an odd thing to bring back nearly 30 years later, seeing as there’s so much gaming #content to watch on YouTube and Twitch. But hey, it was a well-loved show, and this looks like fun.
GamesMaster launches onE4’s YouTube channelon November 21st, and will come to their TV channel further down the line.
