The Game Awards is one of the biggest annual events for the games industry. In addition to celebrating the best games released throughout the year, The Game Awards brings together publishers and studios from around the world to announce games big and small. This year’s iteration of the awards show is shaping up to be quite momentous with trailers for highly-anticipated games likeMafia: The Old CountryandBorderlands 4confirmed for The Game Awards 2024, as well as several other announcements under wraps.
Many insiders have beenteasing big reveals for The Game Awards 2024in recent memory, and yet another has boarded the hype train. Renowned industry insider Jason Schreier recently made an appearance on the Kinda Funny Games podcast, where he claimed to have knowledge of “at least” two announcements at The Game Awards 2024 that would elicit a “holy sh*t” reaction from the Kinda Funny panel. Schreier remained tight-lipped about the specifics of these announcements, but remarked that they “definitely qualify as big.”

Schreier later added some context to these commentsover on ResetEra, stating that people shouldn’t “read too much” into the scale of the big Game Awards 2024 announcements he purported. He also mentioned that these announcements are for games that are “years away.” The rest is a matter of speculation, but it’s worth noting that since many of Kinda Funny’s hosts are PlayStation fans, Schreier’s somewhat targeted tease towards them may have been alluding to major game announcements from PlayStation at The Game Awards 2024. A recent rumor did claim that aDays Goneremaster might show up at The Game Awards 2024.
However, it seems unlikely that a remaster of a five-year-old game would be considered “big” by PlayStation fans or take several years to release. If Schreier’s information is robust, then the alleged announcements could plausibly be from PlayStation’s bigger first-party studios. Interestingly, there have been a lot of rumors and chatter around Naughty Dog’s next game in recent weeks. Perhaps the most notable of these is studio president Neil Druckmann’s confirmation ofNaughty Dog’s next game being in the works for four years, a substantial amount of development time for most AAA games. Only time will tell if Naughty Dog is gearing up to imminently announce its next game at The Game Awards 2024, but fans should still temper their expectations and tune in on December 12 to see how the show pans out.
