The Game Awards (TGA) 2025 predictions, hype, and general discussion thread

[bikingjahuty]

While I probably shouldn't get hyped for these Geoff Keighly game reveal events each year, I some how find myself doing so anyways. As someone who loved E3 and misses it, this is sort of the next best things. The Game Awards is next Thursday and I find myself essentially counting down the days until it starts. My expectations are fairly low, but I still get excited for this event and always hope that a handful of games will get announced that I can get properly hyped for over the course of the next year or two.


I thought it would be fun to start talking about TGA 2025 and discussing what are hopes and predictions are, and also discussing anything that get announced following the event.

Predictions
- new Elder Scrolls VI trailer (there won't be a date given, but think of this is a hype generator announcement. I can see the game getting an official name here and it also being "the BIG announcement of the evening."
- New Soulsborn game announced
-Remake of beloved Ubisoft game (I'm not sure if this will be an AC game or Far Cry, but it will be a full remake of some beloved game from their catalog and will be their big game for 2026)
- New Virtua Fighter 6 trailer and release date announced
- new Mass Effect 4 trailer with 2026 release date given
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 teaser
- New Studio Ico game trailer and possible release date
- New Resident Evil 9 trailer shown off (reveals beloved legacy character, probably Leon)
- New Tomb Raider game teased
- New trailer for Intergalactic shown


Hopes
- "leaked" Shenmue IV trailer ends up being real and an official Shenmue IV trailer/announcement is given
- New 2D Metroidvania style Castlevania announced
- New Resident Evil Code Veronica or original RE re-remake teased
- first trailer for Silent Hill 1 remake shown

There's usually at least one or two good things announced here, so maybe something of note will be revealed, they had that weird statue in the desert tease for some sort of game, probably a big one, but no one is sure what it means.

Not even sure what I'm hoping for, I kinda always pull for Bloodborne anything, so I guess that'll be my prediction lol
