The Game Awards 2025: All confirmed and rumored games and announcements
The Game Awards returns this week for another ceremony to honor the biggest and best games and devs of 2025, but that's just part of the reason gamers everywhere will be watching along.
As usual, the best part of The Game Awards (other than the awards themselves, which recognize good work in the industry) is the surprises. But there are some games that we know for sure will appear in some capacity, whether it be a trailer or release date announcement.
Here's what we know so far will be shown at The Game Awards 2025, and some rumors on what else may pop up. More confirmations are expected throughout the week, and we will keep this info updated as it comes in.

The long awaited new adventure for Lara Croft will be revealed at TGA. The news was initially confirmed in the Game Awards experience in Fortnite on Dec. 8 and then announced by Keighley not long after.

Is it finally time? Will we get our Leon S. Kennedy reveal just over two months before we return to Raccoon City one final time? "Tune in for a terrifying new look" at RE9 , the show teases.

The next game from Returnal devs Housemarque will make an appearance during the show, PlayStation revealed.

The upcoming sci-fi RPG from many former BioWare devs will showcase a new trailer ahead of its 2026 release window, and I'm excited to see what's being cooked here.

Whatever the heck is going on with this ( it's NOT Bloodborne 2 , sorry ) will be revealed during the stream. Speculation about this game is all over the place, but my money is on it being absolutely nothing anyone was expecting and thus a disappointment to everyone, no matter how cool it might actually be.
Leakers are suggesting it may have to do with a Divinity: Original Sin 3 announcement.
LEGO Batman

The upcoming new LEGO Batman game that looks more like a new Arkham City in LEGO form confirmed its participation in the showcase.

The first game from a new studio led by former Naughty Dog dev Bruce Straley will be making its debut.
Marvel Rivals

The free-to-play hero shooter just celebrated its first birthday, and NetEase Games has some sort of news to deliver about its future.

The dev behind The Witness and Braid is teasing something TGA-related.
SEGA teaser
SEGA posted a cryptic teaser on YouTube to "stay tuned, you won't want to miss it" for the show.
Rumors and baseless speculation
It's always fun to speculate on what may appear, even though it always sets everyone up to be let down. Half-Life 3 ? Probably not. Grand Theft Auto 6 ? Also negative. But we can expect something from Hideo Kojima (Keighley's pal is always down to show up, and he is currently in Los Angeles), like Death Stranding 2 PC port or DLC news.
There are plenty of games that are due for some news or announcements, like Final Fantasy VII Remake part three, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Marvel's Blade, Fable, and countless others. But for now, stay tuned to see what leaks ahead of the show.
A safe bet is some Hollywood appearances, like for Fallout season two and other upcoming video game adaptations. That always makes for some uncomfy situations. And you can bet there will be an acceptance speech that goes on a bit too long as well, but don't forget, that's what this stuff is truly all about.
The Game Awards 2025 begins at 6:30pm CT with its half-hour pre-show on Dec. 11, with the three-hour showcase beginning at 7pm CT.
