Updated: December 11, 2025 • Los Angeles / Global livestream
The Game Awards 2025 is once again the place where publishers drop their biggest surprises. This page is Swikblog’s live tracker of every new game announced at The Game Awards 2025 — plus major new trailers, world premieres and release-date reveals, all in one scroll.
As Geoff Keighley’s show streams from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles across YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and more, this list will be updated with each big reveal so readers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand don’t have to scrub through a three-hour show just to find the games that matter to them.
If you still need the basics — what time it starts in your region, how voting works and who is up for Game of the Year — you can first check our guide on Game Awards 2025 start time, nominees and how to watch , then come back here for the announcements.
How this live list works
This article is designed as a live-updating hub:
- 📝 Every time a new game is announced or a major trailer drops, we’ll add it below with a short summary.
- ▶ Where possible, we’ll link the official trailer or store page so you can watch or wishlist instantly.
- 🎮 We’ll flag new IP, sequels, remakes and expansions so you can skim what matters.
- ⏱ The top section covers confirmed showcases that were announced before the show began; below that, we’ll list games in the order they appear during the ceremony.
Official information about the show, nominees and categories is available on The Game Awards website, and platforms like the Epic Games Store’s Game Awards hub are also curating trailers and reveals as they drop.
Before the show: Confirmed world premieres and showcases
Even before the orchestra plays the first note, several publishers have publicly confirmed that their titles will appear during the 2025 ceremony. Here are the big ones we already know about, based on official blogs, X posts and press releases.
Exodus
Type: New sci-fi RPG • Developer: Archetype Entertainment
First revealed at The Game Awards 2023, Exodus returns to the stage this year with what the studio calls its most substantial look so far. Built by former BioWare veterans and written in part by Mass Effect and KOTOR writer Drew Karpyshyn, the game is pitched as a character-driven space epic where your decisions echo across timelines. Archetype’s own updates have teased fresh gameplay and possibly a release-window reveal during the 2025 show.
Neon Giant’s “ludicrously ambitious” new project
Type: New IP • Developer: Neon Giant
The Swedish studio behind cyberpunk action-RPG The Ascent has confirmed it will finally lift the lid on its next title during The Game Awards 2025. In recent interviews, the team described the game as “ludicrously ambitious,” built around player agency in a reactive world rather than a linear corridor shooter. It is widely expected to debut with a cinematic trailer and a small slice of in-engine footage.
Phantom Blade Zero
Type: High-speed action RPG • Developer: S-Game
Kung-fu soulslike Phantom Blade Zero is confirmed for a fresh appearance, with The Game Awards channels teasing a new trailer and a long-awaited release-date announcement. The 2023 reveal wowed players with its fast, hand-animated combat and grim steampunk China aesthetic; this new look is expected to show more grounded boss fights and how its semi-open structure actually works.
Resident Evil Requiem
Type: Survival horror sequel • Developer: Capcom
Capcom has already used Summer Game Fest 2025 to unveil Resident Evil Requiem, but The Game Awards will bring what host Geoff Keighley has described as a “terrifying new look.” With the game set to release in the coming months, fans are anticipating a story-heavy trailer, new locations and enemies, and perhaps clarity on long-running rumours about whether an older Leon S. Kennedy appears in the campaign.
New Total War game
Type: Major strategy entry • Developer: Creative Assembly
Creative Assembly has confirmed that a completely new Total War title will premiere during the show, timed around the series’ 25th anniversary. The studio is promising one of its “most ambitious” projects yet, with a tight first look during The Game Awards followed by deeper dives later in December. Fans are watching closely to see whether this returns to historic warfare, leans further into fantasy or attempts something hybrid.
Next Tomb Raider game
Type: Action-adventure • Developer: Crystal Dynamics
After years of quiet development under an Amazon publishing deal, Crystal Dynamics has finally confirmed that the next chapter of Tomb Raider will be shown at The Game Awards 2025. Keighley’s own teaser on X hinted at “the future of one of gaming’s most iconic heroes”, and fans are hoping to see which direction Lara Croft takes after the reboot trilogy — and whether the game leans back towards her more classic, confident persona.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
Type: Character-focused action adventure • Developer: TT Games
TT Games has also locked in a new look at LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a 2026 title that trades giant character rosters for a tighter, Batman-centric story in open-world Gotham. Expect a mix of slapstick co-op chaos and Arkham-inspired combat, wrapped in the familiar bricks and studs that made earlier LEGO games family favourites.
Indie premieres from Day of the Devs
On the indie side, the official Day of the Devs Game Awards showcase has already highlighted more than 20 upcoming titles — from co-op survival, to cozy narrative games, to experimental horror. Highlights include:
- Astromine – co-op survival on fully destructible voxel planets.
- Dogpile – a roguelike deckbuilder about merging increasingly chaotic dogs.
- Frog Sqwad – slapstick physics-based sewer missions for up to eight players.
- Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth – a gentle storybook adventure based on the classic Moomin tales.
- Lucid Falls – a surreal horror game set inside a shifting lucid dream.
Organisers describe the showcase as a way to give smaller teams the same global stage as AAA publishers, and you can rewatch the full Day of the Devs stream via their official site.
