The Game Awards 2024 Promises at Least Two ‘Holy Crap’ Announcements, But Bloodborne Isn’t One of Them
The countdown is almost over, with The Game Awards 2024 set to take place tomorrow. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the event not only celebrates the best games of 2024 but also unveils upcoming projects that keep the gaming world buzzing. This year, the show promises some monumental surprises, with at least two announcements teased as jaw-droppers.
Big Surprises, Long Waits
Renowned journalist Jason Schreier joined the Kinda Funny videocast to stoke the flames of anticipation. While remaining tight-lipped about specifics, Schreier shared this tantalizing tidbit:
“There are at least two things that will make you guys go, 'holy [ __ ], I can't believe this thing is here.’”
However, he tempered expectations by noting that these announcements are likely for games far down the pipeline—think 2026 or later. Schreier suggested we might see projects akin to Quantic Dream's Star Wars: Eclipse or Monolith's Wonder Woman, massive titles with teaser reveals designed to build hype for years to come.
For those holding out hope for a Bloodborne sequel or remaster, Schreier dashed those dreams with a blunt "It's not" on Reddit. While Bloodborne fans may be left disappointed, the promise of other blockbuster reveals will undoubtedly keep the hype train running.
Confirmed Trailers
What we do know for certain is that Take-Two will showcase trailers for Mafia: The Old Country and Borderlands 4 during the event. These titles alone are enough to excite fans, but it's the mystery announcements that could truly steal the show.
The Game Awards 2024 pre-show kicks off at 4:30 PM PT at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with the main event lasting approximately three and a half hours. Get your snacks ready—it's going to be a long night, especially for European viewers.
