The Game Awards 2024 is going live later today, and one of the biggest parts of this yearly event is the game announcements that come with it. And if recent rumours are to be believed, we might be getting some bombshell news from our favorite Japanese developers, including Hidetaka Miyazaki.
A series of photos posted on social media have gotten fans talking about what they could mean. While not new, the photos include icons of the industry such as Ken Kutaragi, Hideo Kojima, and Hidetaka Miyazaki, and the rumor is that they are cooking up something. Luckily, we only have to wait a few hours to find out.

The Game Awards is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and is a key platform for game developers to announce new projects. The presence of these industry icons has fans wondering if this year’s event will deliver something truly historic.

The timing of these pictures is particularly interesting. Genki’s post highlighted that while there’s no confirmation they were taken recently, the context aligns with tonight’s Game Awards. Bucky,Palworld’s community manager, also hinted at big news for Japanese games. If there’s any truth to the rumors, it could be something huge.

Adding to this isJason Schreier’s cryptic promiseof two “holy s**t” announcements during The Game Awards. Although Schreier denied that one of them would involveBloodborne, there are a lot of possibilities. We could get a newFinal Fantasygame, a newPersonagame, or even a newKingdom Heartsgame if the stars align.
Kojima’s ongoing projects, such asDeath Stranding 2, are already highly anticipated, but his history of unveiling surprises at major events leaves room for another unexpected reveal. Similarly, FromSoftware is fresh from the success ofElden Ring‘sShadow of The ErdtreeDLC which was released this year and is also in contention for Game of the Year.
