Rumor: Supposed Game Awards 2024 Announcements ‘Leaked’

A rumor claiming to leak announcements planned for The Game Awards 2024 on December 12 is getting some attention, but fans should take the claims with a big grain of salt. Besides giving out some of the industry’s most prestigious awards, The Game Awards is also known for its big world premieres, shining a light on the future of video games.

The Game Awards 2024 will be no different. On December 12, TGA viewers can expect to see bombshell announcements and exciting updates on already-announced games. The Geoff Keighley-hosted show is always an exciting one, though there are times when some of the big announcements are leaked in advance.

The latest supposed Game Awards “leak” claims to reveal multiple announcements that are supposedly taking place at the show. The rumor seems to stem from a Threads post made by laksus_11, citing Just Play It, and has since gotten attention on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, amassing over 500 upvotes and counting. The post claims that fans can look forward to “something related” to God of War, a DLC announcement for Rise of the Ronin, a Split Fiction release date from Hazelight Studios’ Josef Fares, a Crimson Desert release date, a The First Berserker Khazan release date, a Dune Awakening release date, and potentially more news on The Perceiver and two Chinese games. However, the post leaves room for the latter to potentially be at an upcoming PlayStation event instead.

Game Awards 2024 “Leaks” Explained

• God of War
• Rise of the Ronin DLC
• Split Fiction Release Date
• Crimson Desert Release Date
• The First Berserker Khazan Release Date
• Dune Awakening Release Date
• Possible news on The Perceiver and two Chinese games

No evidence is provided to back up these claims. It should also be stressed that even if all of these supposed Game Awards 2024 announcements are true, there would still be a lot more at the show. The Game Awards has traditionally featured more world premiere announcements than it has focused on actual awards, and beyond that, it’s usually around 3.5 hours long. So, even if someone is disappointed by the leaked lineup, there will be plenty more to see regardless.

As for the probability of these leaked announcements taking place, all of them are certainly possible. The biggest potential announcement claimed by the leak is that something will be announced related to Sony’s God of War franchise, and there is precedent for big God of War reveals to happen at The Game Awards. There have also been rumors that Sony may be remastering the classic God of War games for the PlayStation 5, plus there are expectations that an Atreus-focused spin-off is in the pipeline as well.

In any case, this line-up is far from the only one that has been rumored for The Game Awards. There have also been rumblings that Resident Evil 9 might be announced at the big show, but fans definitely should not get their hopes up. While there have been legitimate Game Awards 2024 leaks in the past, it doesn’t mean that these latest ones are accurate, and so fans should take all of this information with a massive grain of salt. They won’t know what’s announced at The Game Awards 2024 until the show itself takes place on December 12.
