Sign in to your TheGamer account There has already been plenty of debate over The Game Awards this year thanks to the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 just barely making the cut for eligibility, alongside the usual speculation about new game trailers or reveals fans expect to see at the event. While most of the theories are based around pure popularity, a recent announcement has just about everyone expecting the same reveal as a result. Shared by none other than TGA host Geoff Keighley himself on X, this year's show will be the first to be streamed on Disney Plus in addition to its standard platforms on December 10th, sparking plenty of debate over what the announcement could entail. TGA's Disney Partnership Opens Some Unique Doors While Disney owns countless properties that could be incorporated into the event as a result, easily the number one game brought up by countless fans has been the upcoming release of Kingdom Hearts 4. Following the massive reveals during June's Nintendo Direct, a prime time spot at this year's Game Awards would also be the perfect time to drop an official release date for KH4's 2027 release. Aside from the upcoming gaming release, fans have also speculated that we could get a release date or even a recorded segment from the official Kingdom Hearts animated series that came with Kingdom Hearts 4's recent announcements, leaving viewers more than a little hopeful for the event this year. Fans Are Fully Convinced Of A Kingdom Hearts Sweep Square Enix Although Kingdom Hearts 4 is definitely one of the more likely prospects for a major appearance at The Game Awards this year, it's far from the only Disney-owned property that could have a major impact, with Star Wars also being a likely contender this year Following recent leaks that suggest several new Star Wars-themed projects are being announced this January, combined with today's announcement of a Lego Star Wars anniversary collection releasing on January 1st, it would be far from surprising to finally see at least a teaser for Jedi 3, theme park details, or an entirely new entry in the sci-fi franchise as well.
