We’re just one day away from The Game Awards 2024, Geoff Keighley’s end-of-the-year ceremony that crowns the best games released throughout 2024 and also serves as a veritable hype machine for what’s coming next in the industry.
Video Game Chronicle’s Andy Robinson already hyped up this year’s show, and now Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has doubled down on the claim. Speaking on the latest Kinda Funny videocast, Schreier said:
What can I say without getting in trouble… so I know about a couple of announcements that’ll be there, and they would qualify as big announcements. That said, like, big announcements are games that won’t be out for years. I think there’s a good chance that you’ll see one or two teaser trailers for a game that is like 2026 or even later in many cases.
[…] I mean, yeah, there are at least two things that will make you guys reacting be like holy [ __ ], like, I can’t believe this thing is here. At least two things, I’ll say that.
Schreier namedropped Quantic Dream’s Star Wars: Eclipse and Monolith’s Wonder Woman as the type of announcement he’s referring to: very big games, but several years away from being available. Still, they should get people excited.
However, if you’re one of those pining for a Bloodborne sequel or remaster for PlayStation 5 and PC (although emulator ShadPS4 is making great strides), Schreier already axed that possibility with a brief ‘It’s not’ post on Reddit.
We do know for a fact that we’ll be getting trailers for Take-Two’s Mafia: The Old Country and Borderlands 4 at The Game Awards 2024. As a reminder, the pre-show goes live at 4:30 PM Pacific Time from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The whole thing will last around three hours and a half, which is a bit of a nightmare for us Europeans, unfortunately.
