National broadcaster ABC has announced the launch of a new channel on YouTube called ABC Gamer which will promote Aussies who are in the gaming industry, whether they’re already established or new to the scene.
ABC Gamer represents a new chapter for gaming content from the ABC, with a suite of fresh, funny and informative new formats joining refreshed archival videos from Good Game and Good Game: Spawn Point.
ABC gamer will bring a revitalised perspective on gaming coverage in Australia, courtesy of an array of original programming, dedicated to delivering the latest news, reviews and highlights from the world of video games.
In collaboration with triple j, new content series The Break Room will feature presenters Bryce Mills and Dave Woodhead as they take a seat on the couch and compete against the various bands, musicians and other guests who drop by to enjoy a cup of lukewarm cordial and play some games.
Weekly, you’ll cop new eps of The Loot Drop – ABC Gamer’s take on gaming news, anchored by comedian Harry Jun. Expect salty opinions, insightful analysis, and jokes that sometimes land, along with all the latest gaming news and culture to start the week.
GGSP host Angharad “Rad” Yeo will bring her wealth of experience in games and tech media to the team, anchoring Play or Pass and Sweet Sixteen.
Play or Pass is ABC Gamer’s new online-only review series. Hook in for easily digestible, trustworthy game recommendations that will let you know if a new release is worth your clams.
In gameplay-driven series Sweet Sixteen, hear some hot takes and unedited riffing as Rad and the ABC gamer team play through an uninterrupted sixteen minutes of a hotly anticipated new game. The best in watercooler chit-chat with gameplay from brand newies fed directly into your eyeballs.
Alongside the slate of new content, the channel will also regularly resurface all the best moments from ten years of ABC’s Good Game, and feature brand new episodes of ABC ME’s Good Game Spawn Point (GGSP) every week.
