The Game Awardsare right around the corner, and whileElden RingandGod of War Ragnarokmay be battling it out for Game of the Year, fans know to expect some new world premieres too. This show is reportedly shorter than shows in the past, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there will be less quality in the announcements. This may prove especially true if some of the rumors prove true.

Now, a handful of games and companies have either confirmed or teased their presence there, separating them from things that are simply rumored. A newStar Wars Jedi: Survivorgameplay traileris confirmed for the show, for example, while Activision has potentially teased a newCrash Bandicootgame,Bandai Namco has teasedTekken 8, Epic Games and 505 Games have teased a new announcement, and Larian Studios has teased its presence at The Game Awards too. As such, while these may or may not be there in most cases, it makes them distinct from possible rumors.

The Game Awards - Rumored Video Game Announcements

Some of these rumors come from certain happenings around the industry right now, while others have come from other rumors and leaks. What’s important is that fans keep expectations in check; none of this is confirmed to be at The Game Awards. Everything should be taken with a massive grain of salt until the show either proves or disproves these rumors.

It should be noted that there are also plenty of fake rumors and leaks out there, and some things may come surprisingly true and others not. It’s hard to say for sure. One image has been spreading online of potential announcements at the show, though it is of terrible quality and states Opening Night Live on it, and it includesHogwarts Legacy, Redfall, Elden RingBane of Disputant DLC,Dead Space, Aliens, andTurok.Many were quick to call it an obvious fake, which it was, but Geoff Keighley has also cleared the air and called this image fake.

The Game Awardsceremony takes place on December 8.
