G4 Teases a Return in Some Form

G4, the video games-focused TV network, has teased a possible return in some form in 2021.

A teaser video that debuted during Comic-Con@Home on IGN Live alluded to the network’s return. The teaser included a number of references to the running jokes from the network’s shows, including the Golden Mullet Award, Sessler’s Soapbox and Rot Gut. It ends on a game of Pong (the game played at both the beginning and end of the network’s lifespan), before being interrupted by the appearance of the G4 logo, the date 2021, and a tagline, “We never stopped playing”.

What that actually means isn’t fully clear at this point. The original G4 network ceased broadcasting in 2014 - it could be that the network itself will return, it could be an online channel, or it may be taking a different form altogether.

The G4TV Twitter account has seemingly reactivated, simply to post the trailer. Ex-host Adam Sessler has called it a "curious turn of events".

G4 opened in 2002, and went on to broadcast shows such as X-Play, G4tv.com, and Attack of the Show! The network helped launch the careers of Geoff Keighley, Olivia Munn and other notable figures in gaming coverage.
