A gambling insider latterly announced that there would be two major annunciation atThe Game Awardstonight , and I recall I have some ideas of what we will and wo n’t see . Jason Schreier - generator ofPlay Nice : The Rise , Fall and Future of Blizzard Entertainment- recently appear onThe Kinda Funny Podcastandteased two big reveals add up at the game awards . Schreier has since die on to give some insight on what rooter should and should n’t require from this announcement .

Although I have my personal wishes of what I ’d love to see announced at The Game Awards - I ’m always on the lookout for anew FromSoftware project- I cerebrate a few games are more likely candidates . While opinions are split on what these reveals will be , or if they ’ll live up to the plug , I retrieve it would be likely that we see at least one of my predictions here in some mental ability atThe Game Awards tonight . If not , then I hope I am pleasantly surprised by whatever Schreier was alluding to .

A Potential Half-Life 3 Announcement Would Be “Big”

Half-Life 3 Rumors Have Circulated Again, But They Are Largely Unfounded

heed , I get it . Half - Life 3rumors are something of a jokeat this point in the gambling residential district . Rumors of this game have been flying around for age and predictions of its proclamation have been about as reliable and as legion as destruction - of - the - world predictions like Y2 K , 2012 , etc . With that say , hearsay are once again circulate thatHalf - Life 3is about to be announce , and I think this time they might have some merit .

Nominations for the 2024 Game Awards see tons of great games and people from this past year honored in different class , but what will gain GOTY ?

Call me uninitiated , but I finger like the “ Half - Life 3confirmed ” jest is such a dead meme at this point thatrumors of its announcement somehow feel more credible . While the source of the rumors seems to be a random post onXfrom someone not connect to the game diligence , I ’m hold out Bob Hope that this metre theHalf - Life 3rumors could be true . Maybe I ’ll look silly later tonight , but there ’s no abnegate that aHalf - Life 3announcement would , asSchreierput it , make me say “ holy sh*t . ”

Naughty Dog’s Next Game Could Be On The Table

Naughty Dog Has Been Developing A New IP Since 2020

Because these announcements are rumored to be geared toward PlayStation players , it seems possible that the announcement could be relate to Naughty Dog ’s next game . Some have suppose that it might be related toThe Last of Ussince several of the Game Awards ’ presenters - Laura Bailey and Isabela Merced - are unite to the dealership . Personally , I do n’t think that ’s conclusive enough proof to say much . Bailey has a ton of video game character under her belt , and Merced is going to be in theLast of UsTV serial publication but has n’t been part of the secret plan .

Expansions , DLCs , remake , seasonal depicted object , and remasters ; an of import part of the video secret plan landscape painting ; are eligible in all award categories .

I believe it ’s more probable that Naughty Dog will be presenting something to do with theirnew IP which is said to be an open - world sci - fi biz . Reportedly , Naughty Dog has been work on it since 2020 , so it seems like thing could be far enough along for a prevue at least . A unexampled IP from one of gaming ’s most exciting developer would certainly fit the flyer of a bighearted announcement .

Todd Howard Could Show Off The Elder Scrolls 6

Todd Howard Will Be Presenting At The Game Awards

Another Game Awards presenter who has recruit some eyebrows is Bethesda ’s Todd Howard . Although Howard is simply billed as represent an award , his comportment has created some venture that he may be pulling twofold duty during the observance . If Howard is indeed there to announce a game as well as an awarding , it would ( hopefully ) beThe Elder Scrolls 6 .

The Elder Scrolls 6was ab initio teased all the direction back in 2018 during E3 . Since then , there has been radio secretiveness about the secret plan . Nothing but a brief teaser show off some landmark has been seen of the game , and it feels like fans are overdue for a bite more information on it .

To give Bethesda some mire , 2018 was an awkward time to announce a major title likeThe Elder Scrolls 6 . It was only two days before the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 came out , meaning there was likely a debate on whether to grow the biz for two cabinet generation or wait to make it strictly next - gen . Then , COVID-19 shutdowns retard down game production , likelypushingThe older Scrolls 6backeven further .

Now that restrictions have been lifted and the current generation of gaming console is in full swing , it seems like the perfect time forThe Elder Scrolls 6to pop back up . Bethesda ’s last big secret plan , Starfield , has been fill with assorted receipt from musician , so the company might want to swing momentum back in its party favor with a with child announcement . Full revelation : this is the rumor I ’m most emotional about , so I could be a bit colored toward it , but I do think there ’s a chance it ’s true .

PlayStation Fans Shouldn’t Get Their Hopes Up For Bloodborne

Schreier Confirmed He Wasn’t Talking About Bloodborne

When I ab initio listen about Schreier ’s statements , I was excited that he could be talking aboutBloodborne . The late PlayStation Anniversary dawdler ended with a cartridge clip ofBloodborneand the idiom “ it ’s about perseverance . ”

In world-wide , Schreier seems to desire players to harden their expectations . in person , this makes me a little more confident in my prognostication for TGA 2024 .

Since his initial interview , Schreier has elucidate he was n’t talking aboutBloodborne . While disappointing , I guess I should n’t be too surprised . In terms of announcement plug , Bloodbornehas essentially become the newHalf - Life 3 . Players hoping to render to Yarnham may involve to admit that it is n’t happening any time soon .

In general , Schreier seems to want thespian to chasten their anticipation . In a mail service on aReseterathread discussing his initial statements , Schreier asked player not to record too much into what he said and elucidate that the games in doubt are age off . Personally , this makes me a little more confident in my predictions for TGA 2024 .

Both Naughty Dog ’s new IP andThe Elder Scrolls 6likely would n’t be come any clip before long even if they are announced tonight . As forHalf - Life 3 , I ’m still not to the full convinced it will ever happen , but one can dream . We should find out soon enough , though , sinceThe Game Awardskick off tonight .
