Over the past decade, The Game Awards<\/a> has become a home for major video game reveals. Geoff Keighley\u2019s annual celebration of gaming is arguably as much about the trailers than the actual awards handed out to game developers, streamers, esports athletes, and voice actors every December. Publishers like to make a big splash at The Game Awards, even if the games they\u2019re announcing aren\u2019t expected to be out for years. Hence, big trailers that rarely promise release dates.<\/p>\n

Some games revealed at The Game Awards go missing in action for uncomfortably long periods. Some games that were announced or shown as far back as The Game Awards 2019<\/a> still haven\u2019t shipped. Others, like Campo Santo\u2019s In the Valley of Gods<\/a><\/em>, revealed at The Game Awards 2017, never will<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But people who love video games enough to watch The Game Awards each year know patience. Below are some of the big games we\u2019ve been eagerly anticipating for years now, hopeful that someday we\u2019ll get to play them.<\/p>\n

[Ed. note:<\/strong> 2023\u2019s edition of The Game Awards revealed more than 20 games that haven\u2019t been released yet, but it\u2019s only been a year. That\u2019s nothing in game development terms, so we\u2019re focusing on much older announcements.]<\/p>\n
