TGA 2022 Reveals Predictions

As for what we think will be revealed during The Game Awards, here are our guesses:

A new game from Kojima Productions
WWE 2K23 reveal
New trailers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Release dates for Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy XVI, Fable 4, AEW Fight Forever, The Outlast Trials, and Assassin's Creed Mirage
Josef Fares stealing everyone's hearts again
Dark Souls Remake
Sega unveiling a new console, effectively re-entering the console wars against Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony
Nintendo Switch Pro – or even better, the Switch's successor. Nintendo, we need an upgrade, badly!
Some AI Art Shenanigans
Geoff Keighley being wholesome
A new Berserk game. Please. Please!
A GameBoy Classic re-release or something like that. Probably a PlayStation Portable or Vita revival? Something along the lines of bringing back old handheld consoles.

Of course, some of these are just wishful thinking, so please allow us this small pleasure of happy speculation.
