10 Biggest Predictions For The Game Awards 2025

The Game Awards have quickly become the most prominent event in the video game industry. Though the show celebrates the year’s best games with award winners, it’s become best known for revealing exciting new game trailers and announcements.

Some games hint at what they’ll show at The Game Awards beforehand, like the new trailer for Exodus. However, the biggest announcements are usually surprises. It’s unlikely all ten of the following predictions will happen, but each one could be a major event.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Will Be Revealed

The team has been working on remaking Final Fantasy 7 for almost ten years, and it seems we’re getting close to seeing the third part of the project. February of next year will mark two years since the release of FF7 Rebirth.

Work on Remake Part 3 is progressing well, and it’s expected to be released sooner than Rebirth. Given Final Fantasy‘s massive popularity in the gaming world, an announcement at The Game Awards would be a perfect fit.

The Third Star Wars Jedi Game Is Announced

Respawn Entertainment, the team behind the popular Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, hasn’t said much about the next game in the series. The plan is for Cal Kestis’ story to unfold over three games, and since Survivor will be three years old in April 2026, fans are hoping to hear some news about the sequel soon.

Respawn has been working on the Jedi trilogy as its main single-player game, while also developing the popular Apex Legends. This Star Wars series is very important to Electronic Arts, and Cal’s story is currently one of the most exciting parts of the Star Wars universe. A compelling trailer at The Game Awards could generate a lot of buzz.

Kojima Makes An Appearance & Debuts A New OD Trailer

If you’re a fan of Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley’s events, you should expect to see Kojima at The Game Awards 2025. They have a strong working relationship, and given how little is known about his new game, OD, The Game Awards seems like the ideal place for Kojima to share updates directly with fans.

OD is a game created through a partnership between Kojima Productions and Xbox. What’s really exciting, though, is the collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele – the director behind horror hits like Get Out, Us, and Nope. Kojima describes the game as experimental and cutting-edge, and it features a star-studded cast including Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier.

Rumored God Of War Metroidvania Is Finally Confirmed

Kratos, the main character in the popular God of War series, hasn’t been seen in a new game since God of War Ragnarök came out in 2022. Reports suggest that two God of War games are currently in the works: a brand new, main story game, and a separate, action-adventure game in the style of Metroidvania.

For a while now, people have been speculating about a new game announcement, but so far, nothing has been officially revealed. The Game Awards seem like a likely place for it to happen. The game is rumored to be a metroidvania starring Deimos, Kratos’ brother, who played a key part in the God of War: Ghost of Sparta game on the PSP. However, without an official announcement, concrete details are scarce.

Remedy Will Unveil Its Next Release, Control 2 Or The Max Payne Remake

Remedy Entertainment had a tough year with the disappointing launch of FBC: Firebreak, but things are looking up as the studio appears to be preparing a new big project. The most likely possibilities are a sequel to Control or a complete remake of the original Max Payne games.

I was surprised to hear Rockstar Games is publishing the new game, because they usually skip events like The Game Awards. Honestly, why would they need to? The first GTA 6 trailer blew up with over 100 million views almost instantly! That makes me think we might actually see something from Control 2 at the show instead.

I was so hyped when Xbox announced Gears of War: E-Day back in June! It felt like it disappeared after that, though. Even though Gears 5 left us on a huge cliffhanger, it looks like they’re going back to the beginning, telling the story of E-Day – the absolute worst day in the history of Sera – with Marcus and Dom! It’s awesome they’re bringing those two back for a prequel.

Xbox is facing some uncertainty about its future as a console maker. They’ve largely stopped releasing games that are only available on Xbox, recently made Game Pass more expensive, and are relying heavily on the ability to play games on both Xbox and PC. Despite these changes, the Gears series remains popular, but excitement around E-Day has faded since it was first announced over a year ago.

The Duskbloods Finally Gets A Second Trailer

FromSoftware recently launched the Elden Ring Nightreign DLC, The Forsaken Hollow, but many believe their next major game, The Duskbloods, will be the biggest reveal at Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 Direct. Surprisingly, The Duskbloods isn’t another role-playing game; instead, it’s a multiplayer game where players compete and cooperate while also trying to extract items, creating a unique and challenging experience.

The announcement of the game’s genre was surprisingly confusing, even more so than when FromSoftware first said they were making a game only for the Switch 2. We haven’t heard much about it since April, and with a release planned for 2026, The Game Awards event would be a great opportunity to finally show off how it plays.

Ubisoft Reveals A Major New Title, The Division 3 Or The Splinter Cell Remake

Ubisoft is always working on new games, and fans are eager to find out what’s next. A remake of the original Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell was announced in 2021, but we haven’t seen any gameplay or even a trailer yet. The Game Awards might be the perfect opportunity to finally reveal the game and excite fans who thought it would never happen.

I’m really excited about the news that The Division 3 is actually happening! Ubisoft confirmed it was in development back in 2023, but we haven’t seen anything yet. The first two Division games were huge, and with how popular looter shooters and extraction games are now, I think this one could be massive when it finally comes out. I can’t wait to see more!

Leon S. Kennedy Is Teased To Appear In Resident Evil Requiem

It’s reasonable to expect Capcom to hint at Leon Kennedy’s involvement in the next Resident Evil game, if he’s actually going to be in it. He’s the most popular character in the entire Resident Evil series, which is saying something considering how many well-known faces there are. While Resident Evil 9 will likely be successful anyway, even a small confirmation that Leon will appear would significantly boost excitement.

The new Resident Evil game, Requiem, was unveiled at Summer Game Fest, and the announcement visibly excited host Geoff Keighley. Now, confirming that Leon S. Kennedy will be a key character would be fantastic news. With a February release date planned, this is the perfect time to share a substantial new trailer.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Takes Home GOTY

Okay, let’s discuss the awards. The most important one, Game of the Year, is always a highlight. This year’s nominees are incredibly strong – I might have even shouted that Death Stranding 2 was unfairly overlooked – but most people are predicting Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will win.

No game released this year has captured hearts and minds quite like E33. It’s been the dominant topic of conversation in the gaming world, and it’s widely expected to win Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2025. Both players and critics are huge fans.
