The Annual Gaming Festival Returns

The Game Awards 2025 will be held on December 11th (local time) in Los Angeles, United States. Starting at 9:30 AM Korean Standard Time on December 12th, the event will be hosted by Geoff Keighley and is expected to feature major award announcements alongside the unveiling of approximately 50 new game trailers.

The Game Awards has evolved beyond a simple awards ceremony to become the gaming industry's largest marketing platform. Every year, major game publishers announce their upcoming titles through this event, drawing fan attention not only to the awards but equally to new game reveals.

This Year's Anticipated Titles

All eyes are on whether Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which made waves at last month's Golden Joystick Awards, will maintain its momentum at The Game Awards.

Ahead of the event, several new game reveal rumors are circulating in the gaming community. The identity of the mysterious Mojave Desert sculpture that Geoff Keighley posted on social media has already been revealed.

Valve's announcement of new hardware last month has heightened expectations for a possible Half-Life 3 reveal. However, the pricing announcement for the new hardware may be delayed due to surging memory module prices.

Confirmed Reveals and Rumors

An announcement related to the next installment in the Tomb Raider series has been confirmed for the event.

According to information accidentally exposed by the PS Store, Leon S. Kennedy will appear as the second playable character in Resident Evil Requiem.

James Bond: 007 First Light is also expected to make an appearance at this event.

Other points of interest include potential additional information about director Hideo Kojima's O.D., or an official announcement of the Death Stranding 2 PC version, which was prematurely revealed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

From the Microsoft camp, there's a possibility of additional information being revealed about the new Fable and Forza Horizon 6. Some rumors suggest that Forza Horizon 6 may launch simultaneously on PS5.

The release date announcement for The Blood of Dawnwalker, which recently had in-depth gameplay footage released, is also highly anticipated.

How to Watch

The Game Awards 2025 begins at 9:30 AM Korean Standard Time on December 12th. The event will be livestreamed globally through the official website and major streaming platforms.
