Confirmed Appearances
Exodus
Archetype Entertainment confirmed on social media that their sci-fi action RPG Exodus will receive a new trailer at The Game Awards. The studio, founded by former BioWare developers, has been building hype for this Mass Effect spiritual successor since its announcement. Expect gameplay footage showing the time dilation mechanics where years pass on Earth while your character explores distant worlds, creating permanent consequences for relationships back home.
Project Impact
Neon Giant tweeted “Nothing is off limits. Don’t miss December 11,” confirming their follow-up to The Ascent will debut at TGA 2025. The cyberpunk studio’s new project remains mysterious, but based on their track record with gorgeous dystopian environments and explosive combat, Project Impact should deliver spectacle. Whether it’s a direct sequel or completely new IP, fans of their previous work won’t want to miss this reveal.
The Mysterious Statue Game
Geoff Keighley posted coordinates leading to an 8-foot demon statue glowing red in the Mojave Desert. Jason Schreier already shot down theories about Diablo 4, God of War, and Elder Scrolls 6, but he insists whatever the statue represents is “a good one.” The massive physical marketing stunt with demonic imagery, portal designs, and cryptic placement suggests something ambitious from a major publisher. Speculation ranges from a new Soulframe reveal to Housemarque’s Project Saros, but nobody knows for sure. The mystery alone guarantees this will be one of TGA’s most talked-about moments.
FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods
FromSoftware’s next game after Elden Ring has been the subject of intense speculation. Recent leaks claim The Duskbloods is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive featuring PvPvE multiplayer with Bloodborne-style gothic visuals. The project reportedly entered development before Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launched, meaning it’s been cooking for over six years. Insiders suggest FromSoftware delayed marketing until after the Elden Ring: Nightreign expansion The Forsaken Hollows released on December 4, positioning TGA 2025 as the perfect reveal window.
The Duskbloods supposedly takes inspiration from Elden Ring Nightreign’s cooperative gameplay while embracing darker horror aesthetics. If the leaks are accurate, this represents a significant departure from traditional single-player Souls games toward something more socially focused. Given FromSoftware’s track record and Switch 2’s imminent launch, a major stage like The Game Awards makes perfect sense for this announcement.
Control: Resonant
Remedy Entertainment filed a trademark for “Control: Resonant” through their legal representatives Nordia Attorneys at Law. The trademark covers both video games and film/TV production, leading to speculation about whether this is Control 2’s official subtitle or the name of the previously announced Control TV series being produced with Annapurna.
Control 2 entered full production in February 2025 with analysts predicting a 2027 release. The “Resonant” name fits perfectly with the franchise’s themes about frequencies, the Oldest House, and astral plane vibrations. While 2027 is far away, announcing the subtitle and showing a teaser trailer at TGA would maintain momentum following Alan Wake 2’s success. Remedy knows how to work a stage, so expect something trippy and mind-bending if they show up.
Resident Evil 9: Requiem – Leon Reveal
Resident Evil 9: Requiem launches February 27, 2026, with protagonist Grace Ashcroft investigating deaths at the Wrenwood Hotel in Raccoon City. Leaks have insisted since day one that Leon S. Kennedy appears as a secondary playable character, but Capcom hasn’t officially confirmed his involvement. The Game Awards would be the ideal venue to finally reveal Leon’s role and show his gameplay for the first time.
According to leaker Dusk Golem, Leon will be clean-shaven with greying hair, wearing a black jacket. His sections reportedly take place in 2020 when he’s 42-43 years old, featuring more action-oriented gameplay in larger open areas with vehicle traversal similar to RE4’s boat segments. A trailer showing Leon’s return would generate massive hype heading into Requiem’s February launch, especially if it contrasts his experienced confidence against Grace’s terrified rookie persona.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach PC Port
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is nominated for Game of the Year at TGA 2025, making Hideo Kojima’s attendance virtually guaranteed. The game launched exclusively on PlayStation 5 earlier this year, but Kojima Productions has a history of bringing their games to PC after timed console exclusivity. Announcing a PC port during The Game Awards – especially while accepting awards for the game – would be classic Kojima showmanship.
The original Death Stranding came to PC about 8 months after its PS4 release. If the sequel follows a similar timeline and launched on PS5 in spring 2025, a winter 2025 or early 2026 PC announcement makes sense. PC players have been vocal about wanting access to the sequel, and Steam Deck compatibility would introduce the porter experience to a whole new portable audience.
Silent Hill 2 Remake Updates
Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake has been one of 2025’s most successful horror revivals, earning critical praise and commercial success. The studio released a strong demo earlier this year that converted skeptics who doubted their ability to handle such a beloved classic. With momentum behind them, TGA 2025 could showcase either post-launch DLC content, announce the next Silent Hill project, or reveal which classic installment gets remade next.
Konami has multiple Silent Hill projects in development beyond the remake, including Silent Hill f from NeoBards Entertainment and Silent Hill: Townfall from No Code. Any of these could receive stage time if Konami wants to capitalize on the remake’s success and keep horror fans engaged with the franchise’s revival.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
Ubisoft’s long-troubled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake was originally scheduled for January 2021 before getting delayed indefinitely. The project changed development studios from Ubisoft Pune/Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal, leading to a complete overhaul. After years of silence, The Game Awards 2025 could finally show what the current build looks like and provide an actual release window.
The original 2020 reveal trailer was met with harsh criticism about outdated visuals and stiff animations. Ubisoft acknowledged the feedback and committed to raising quality standards, but we haven’t seen updated footage since. Four years later, fans deserve to know whether this remake still exists and if it’s worth the extended development time. TGA’s massive audience would be the right place to reintroduce the project with confidence.
Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake
Rumors about an Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake have circulated for years, with credible sources suggesting Ubisoft Singapore is handling development. Black Flag remains one of the franchise’s most beloved entries thanks to its pirate setting, naval combat, and charismatic protagonist Edward Kenway. A full remake built on modern technology could be spectacular, especially with today’s water rendering capabilities and expanded ship customization.
Ubisoft hasn’t officially acknowledged this project, making TGA 2025 a potential surprise reveal. The company needs positive momentum after Shadows’ controversy, and announcing a remake of a universally loved Assassin’s Creed game would generate goodwill. If they show gameplay with improved naval battles and enhanced Caribbean environments, the internet will explode with excitement.
Pragmata
Capcom’s sci-fi mystery Pragmata was announced at a PlayStation event in 2020 with a cryptic trailer featuring a holographic child in a lunar colony. The game was initially slated for 2022, then delayed to 2023, and has been silent ever since. The Game Awards 2025 could finally provide clarity on what Pragmata actually is and when we’ll get to play it.
After five years of teasing, Capcom needs to either commit to showing substantial gameplay or quietly cancel the project. TGA’s stage would allow them to properly reintroduce Pragmata with a full trailer explaining the premise, gameplay mechanics, and release window. Given Capcom’s recent success with Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Resident Evil, they’ve earned trust that Pragmata could be something special if they’ve been refining it behind the scenes.
Onimusha
Capcom announced Onimusha’s return with a brief teaser, bringing back the samurai action series after years of dormancy. The franchise hasn’t seen a mainline entry since Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in 2006, making this revival a big deal for longtime fans. The Game Awards 2025 could showcase the first gameplay footage and reveal whether this is a full remake, reboot, or entirely new story in the franchise.
Modern action games have evolved dramatically since Onimusha’s heyday, with studios like FromSoftware, Team Ninja, and Capcom themselves (via Devil May Cry) raising the bar for combat depth and responsiveness. Seeing how Capcom adapts demon-slaying samurai gameplay for 2025 standards will be fascinating. Expect flashy sword combat, gorgeous feudal Japan environments, and hopefully the series’ signature puzzles and atmosphere.
Other Potential Surprises
The Game Awards always includes unexpected announcements nobody saw coming. Nintendo rarely participates in third-party showcases, but with Switch 2 on the horizon, they might break tradition to reveal a major launch title. Microsoft typically saves announcements for their own events, but they could surprise with Perfect Dark gameplay, Fable updates, or news about their 2026 lineup.
Sony has multiple first-party projects in development including Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine, though both feel too far out for major reveals. Third-party publishers like Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and Warner Bros could bring surprises. Fighting game fans expect news about Street Fighter, Tekken, or possibly Virtua Fighter given Geoff’s history of supporting that community. And indie showcases during TGA often steal the show with creative projects that become breakout hits.
