Strong rumors: what could appear

The mysterious game teased by Keighley

The statue installed in the Mojave Desert sparked all kinds of theories. The organizers have already clarified that it is not related to Diablo or God of War. Its infernal aesthetic continues to fuel speculation.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake

Ubisoft relaunched the remake's development and should show progress before April 2026. Fans hope TGA will be the chosen venue for its return.

Capcom: Onimusha and Pragmata release dates

Capcom often uses TGA to reveal major announcements. It is possible that there will be news about Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Pragmata, and a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, which launches in February.

Control 2, getting closer

Remedy registered the Control Resonant trademark, which would be the sequel to the acclaimed Control. The studio already showcased Alan Wake 2 at TGA, so it has a strong track record.

007: First Light

With a release scheduled for March 27, it could feature an extended trailer as a preview.

New project from Santa Monica Studio?

It is not the most likely scenario, but it is not impossible either. Sony already announced a major project at TGA 2024, so it could repeat the move.
