This yr's The Game Awards can have a handful of big reveals on the scale of the Elden Ring reveal at Summer Game Fest, in line with host and producer Geoff Keighley.Speaking to USA Today about the reveal of the first Elden Ring gameplay trailer – which dropped throughout Summer Game Fest, one other occasion hosted by Keighly – he revealed that The Game Awards 2021 will showcase "four or five things of that level", whereas teasing that "there may be more coming" in relation to his work with Elden Ring developer FromSoftware."There were a lot of things that were good about that so yes, I was uniquely excited to be able to bring that to people," Keighley instructed USA Today. "This year? Oh, God, there are probably four or five things of that level. I can’t wait to show people this stuff. Summer Game Fest was a new thing that I had created. The fact that FromSoftware bet on me and Summer Game Fest where they could have done more traditional E3 stuff, that meant a lot to me. It was a huge honor to work with the From guys, so stay tuned, there may be more coming." Keighley went on to tease that viewers will get a way of "true next-generation gameplay at the show", which takes place on December 9, which implies we are able to seemingly count on some reveals or premieres for upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5 video games.But it feels like these "things", as Keighley calls them, will not be fairly what we're anticipating. The Game Awards host instructed the publication that almost all of the rumors he is learn online have been mistaken, however that we may see some of the video games followers predict – with some model-new reveals from main studios on the playing cards too."Probably six or ten of our games are things that people don’t know exist, but we’re going to reveal them at the show in a fun way," Keighley instructed the publication. "We’ll see how it all plays out, but I feel pretty good. It’s a very diverse lineup from a lot of studios across the industry. It really did come together this year. There will always be people that will be disappointed that X game is not there or the studio didn’t show up with something. But by and large, I think it’s one of our stronger lineups that we’ve had across the entire show."
Analysis: What may we see?
(Image credit score: Nintendo)One of the finest components in the run as much as The Game Awards annually is the hypothesis over what we would see there – and Geoff Keighley has definitely given us one thing to get hyped over.While Keighley has solely stated that there are "four or five things" (emphasis on things) of comparable scale to the Elden Ring reveal, our minds are already racing – that is far more than we anticipated. Throw in the undeniable fact that he teased some "brand-new reveals" and we have purchased our first-class hype prepare ticket – choo choo! So what may these 4 or 5 things be? If we needed to choose 5 bulletins we expect (learn: hope) will occur at The Game Awards, they'd be: a Breath of the Wild 2 launch date, a brand new Splinter Cell recreation announcement, the first trailer for BioShock 4, one other Elden Ring replace or the announcement of one other FromSoftware title (based mostly on Keighley's tease) and a big replace on a Microsoft first-get together title such as Forza Motorsport, Fable or Starfield (Elder Scrolls 6 is a bit too a lot of a attain). As an additional guess, we'll throw in a gameplay reveal for Hogwarts Legacy too.Of course, these are merely predictions proper now, and we can't know for certain what Keighley has up his sleeve till the present itself, which takes place on December 9 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT (or December 10 at 1am GMT / 12pm AEDT).
