“As the all-knowing GamesMaster, he’ll watch over competitors as they compete in virtual battles across a range of games, trying everything in their power to claim a legendary Golden Joystick Trophy.”

Back in September, it was announced that the show will be hosted by Robert Florence, Frankie Ward, and Ty Logan, who will be relaunching GamesMaster – a 90s TV show that concluded in 1998.

A new trailer for GamesMaster has also been released, showcasing some of the people and games that will appear on the show. The trailer reveals that titles like Tekken, Mario Kart, Cuphead and more will be involved in the challenges.

“The series will see celebrities, gaming stars and super fans all take part in challenges, races and epic fights,” reads a statement from E4.

E4 is rebooting the show in partnership with Facebook‘s Quest 2, with three hour-long episodes set to premiere on YouTube in November. The reboot is being led by showrunner Céin McGillicuddy, the co-creator of BBC shows Sexy Murder and Top Coppers.
