It’s Geoff Keighley’s big day, and we stand to benefit with the awareness of cool games on the horizon. The 11th year of The Game Awards kicks off on Thursday, December 11 at 5 pm PT\/8 pm ET, and voting for award categories is already underway.<\/p>\n

As usual, Keighley is playing his cards close to the vest about what announcements will be in the show. A few appearances are already confirmed, such as Resident Evil 9, Exodus, and a performance from Evanescence (sure to bring the crowd to life). Of course, there are also the far less certain rumors about what will appear based on a mix of insider reports and good ol’ gut feelings. For instance: That Assassin’s Creed 4 remake that Ubisoft refuses to say is real has gotta<\/em> be imminent, right?<\/p>\n

Here’s what we know about The Game Awards 2025 so far.<\/p>\n

Confirmed trailers<\/h2>\n

There’ll be a new trailer for Exodus<\/strong>, the sci-fi game <\/strong>from ex-Bioware devs that first debuted at the show in 2023. You might remember it best by its stage introduction by Matthew McConaughey. It returned for an update at last year’s show, and this year completes the hat trick.<\/p>\n
